Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 25, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2019 "Black Market" FUE clinics have exploded in popularity recently. Unfortunately, the low prices and high graft numbers entices naive and unsuspecting patients. This is a serious issue that is severely damaging thousands of hair loss sufferers worldwide. I would appreciate it if you guys shared this video. It's an important issue that isn't touched on nearly enough. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Sean Posted February 25, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted February 25, 2019 Good video! But even some known surgeons have done unethical things. Definitely good starting points in the video though. You definitely had higher loss and look great today. I had less and i am trying my best to have hope.

Thanks Sean, It’s definitely an “illusion” but I do my best to work with what I have. I don’t see why you wouldn’t have hope. If I could have a good result, so can you.

Raphael84 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Nice video Melvin. It is definitely something that everybody considering hair transplant surgery should take the time out to watch and be aware of. There are some very shady individuals/clinics out there looking to prey on insecure and often desperate people. Thats why the work that you guys do should be applauded.

Senior Member LaserCap Posted February 25, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted February 25, 2019 Melvin, good report. I see this frequently with people just coming into the industry and trying out ARTAS. Techs will harvest, make recipient sites and place. This brings up a question I had not thought of before. Is there a local agency that can regulate this? So, say, for example, you become aware of a practice where the harvesting is done by a tech and not a doctor. Can you call someone to come in and do a surprise visit? I am guessing the practice can always say that the tech is working under the umbrella of the doctor......Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the next topic I’m going to touch on robotic FUE in the hands of unlicensed technicians. Unfortunately, most of these “black market” FUE clinis are in developing nations, where there is little to no regulation. That said, the robotic FUE is a problem in North America without a doubt.
