It looks like I'm among the first to post pics and share my experiences from the Artas FUE robot which took place in Feb'13. A total of 2007 grafts over two days. In my case, 100% of the grafts were transplanted using ARTAS, a first for SMG I believe. I guess I was lucky to be worked on exclusively by Dr. Paul Shapiro (And Dr. Ron for small bits of the procedure) because Tom (the tech) was out sick.
Currently, I believe I've experienced all of my "shock loss" and my hair loss looks as bad if not worse than it did before the procedure. I'm anxiously awaiting signs that the procedure was successful and will update pics at month 3 and 6. I'm currently only on topical minoxidil + topical finasteride and ketoconazole shampoo.
The procedure itself was awesome to observe and felt like I was in a science fiction movie! No pain and the rate at which ARTAS punches around the grafts is quite incredible. I guess I'll let the pictures do the talking and answer any questions you have
