"I've accidently had my hair cut short, very short in the past, you know when you've gone to the hairdresser and asked for a short hair cut and they've literally taken it all off and I hated the way I looked. I hated the way, the shape of my head and the shape of my face, I hated that not having hair, then when it grows back again and it grows a little bit longer, it suits me a lot better. That was the part I was worried about. That was the part I thought, once it goes (the hair) it's gone."

14. SOUNDBITE (English), Dr. Craig, medical director, CEO, Ziering Medical Worldwide
"What's so important is, the procedure and the differences between a strip procedure and an FUE (follicular unit extraction) procedure is just how we harvest the graft. After we have the grafts, the way we place them is all the same, but if you don't have the good raw materials and that's the problem. When we do it by hand we don't get really good robust grafts. With the robot we're able to get excellent grafts therefore the natural results is what the patient gets and that's what the patient wants."

17. Close of follicles being pulled out of scalp
18. Close of follicle being picked up
19. SOUNDBITE (English), Dr. Craig, medical director, CEO, Ziering Medical Worldwide
"We're able to harvest successfully without damaging the grafts, probably at an increased rate of 50 percent compared to the hand method. The speed of the robot is very consistent as well. We're able to harvest on average about 500 grafts per hour. In the past by hand the surgeon would not be able to do that for a long period of time and not become fatigued and then not be able to focus on the recipient site creation and the grafting and the transfer. This allows us to accomplish in a day very large numbers of grafts back on the order of what you would be able to do with the strip surgery, but you're able to do it without a linear scar."

But you shouldn't obviously feel anything uncomfortable I've accidentally had my hair cut short very short before in the past. You know when you've gone to hairdressing us for sure I couldn't be literally taking it all off and I hated the way I looked. I hated the way. The shape of my hairs and shape on her face, I hate this out and having her then when it grows back again, it grows a bit longer. It suits me, but a lot better. That was the part that I was worried about. That was the part that I thought well once it goes, it's gone is see the tensioner now, what's so important, is that the the procedure and the differences between a strip procedure and an fue procedure is really just how we harvest the graft after we have the Grafts, the way we place them is all the same, but if you don't have the good raw materials and that's the problem, when we do it by hand, we don't get really good robust grafts with the robot we're able to get excellent grafts. Therefore, the natural results are what the patient gets and that's what the patient wants: we're able to harvest successfully without damaging the grafts, probably at an increased rate of over 50 % compared to the hand method. The speed of the robot is very consistent as well. We'Re able to harvest on average about five hundred grafts per hour in the past by hand. The surgeon would not be able to do that for a long period of time and not become fatigued and then not be able to focus on the recipient site creation and that in the grafting and the transfer, this enables us to accomplish in a day very large Numbers of grafts back on order of what you would be able to do with the strip surgery, but you're able to do it without a linear scar. It'S very important that we do continue to move towards regulating our cosmetic industry and the hair transplant industry. But this is a procedure that is entirely carried out and controlled by the doctor. Of course, he has a team and that's crucial to the procedure to have a trusted and very skilled team to assist the doctor. But it's a doctor that is, that is running the robot. It'S the doctor, that is planning the surgery. That'S making sure the surgery is appropriate to the patient, to the patient's age and expectations and, most importantly, it's the doctor. That'S actually doing the transplant procedure, the design of the hairline directing the hair so that it's the most natural age-appropriate and dense looking result that the patient can have
Comments
fantamagoria: would never let robot do any work on my hair
Top 10: where can i find this clinic?
markman63: That's the artas robot, it's been around since 2008
bigjam8429: I've heard the robot is nothing to manual fue
Mo Lo: How much?
Farhan Alvi: Suppose if robot malfunction and gone deeper
cu99460: Who care about a robot. What matters is the results. Show us the results. What are your results producing? Also can the robot take beard hair and move that to scalp hair? Thats really what I wanna see a robot do. And your machine cant do that, so its useless to the industry because you can already get good results with Dr's that use the current skills and practices for NW5-1. I dont see the point in this machine.
