I partially agree with what you are saying there. Before I went I knew that the robot did not do the actual incisions and transplantation itself and I reckoned that was probably the bit that would be the aesthetic side of things. I thought the robot would punch the hair and then pull it out but in the event it only punches a 1.2mm hole around the hair and the hair was then manually removed. However the robot really locates each hair amazingly accurately and each puncture is overseen by the team on a large screen. The result, I am hoping is that there is less wastage of hair. The pattern of dots on the back of my head looked fairly consistent. The one thing the doctor did say was that the robotic procedure is much less fatiguing on the operator compared to doing it manually so for long procedures consistency would be maintained from beginning to end. Another thing that I feel is important is that during the procedure the skin is stretched very tight before being punched. This effectively means that when the pressure is released the diameter of the hole is effectively about 1.0mm, similar to manual systems.
