tekken Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I found this place from the Artas site. Anyone have experiences with their doctors? They are showing a special as low as $4.50/graft. I couldn't find anything in the search here so that may or may not be a good sign. Thanks, Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyGraft Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Please stay away from artas and any doctor that is using it as a main tool for surgery. You need to research a lot more before going into hair transplantation. Cost should not be your only factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JohnCasper Posted July 11, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2019 Do your homework on Artas just like you would for any hair surgeon. The price you mentioned is a good price per graft but you can get that from a clinic where the surgeon extracts and places every graft....like Carolina Hair Surgery. I know I’m an advocate but his rates are $4-5 per graft depending on the number you need. Take a look at his and other surgeons.....before/afters photos on this web site. Best of luck to you.

Senior Member LaserCap Posted July 11, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2019 Why are you considering Artas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekken Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Thanks guys. I'm not set on Artas and I definitely don't like the larger punch size that manual fue doctors use. And yes, I'm looking for a good doctor and team for their skills. My gut tells me to go overseas for this as the labor intensive procedure here makes is more costly.

Senior Member LaserCap Posted July 12, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 12, 2019 There is a reason why there is a list of doctors on this forum. Go to their websites and review photos. It is about the results after all. Once you've chosen 3, call them and explain your situation. Tell them what you would like to spend, (be reasonable). Make yourself available. Many times these clinics may not have a case scheduled on a particular day and may allow a lesser fee if you can take the slot. I get a kick out of traveling abroad. Not sure about the cost of that but I am certain it is not cheap when you consider a flight, hotel, transportation and your normal living expenses. And, while you would have to do that regionally as well, a flight within the US would be less costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Shifty Posted August 1, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I went to an Artas doc here in NY. My consultation wasnt even with the doctor lol it was some guy who had a transplant. Edited August 1, 2019 by Shifty Link to what I did to grow my hair back without a transplant. 2 year update.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 You might want to consider a clinic that offers several FUE options. One FUE device does not fit all patients. 1 Dr. Glenn Charles is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member LaserCap Posted August 21, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2019 I would not be surprised if, whomever has an Artas machine, uses it for marketing purposes only. It does attract many people and-in a way- does advertise the idea that they are keeping with the times. Once there for consult, however, they will try to push something else...FUT, FUE or whatever technique they are using. I think most in the industry realize that science has a long way to go. While I appreciate the fact the staff does not get tired, neither does the machine, this industry needs the human touch. The doctor and the clinical staff can "see." The machine can't. There are a number of factors involved and I can gladly walk you through them if you wish..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member LaserCap Posted August 21, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2019 For groups that have money....sure! I am talking more about the clinics that did decide to invest the money and then realize the mistake they made. Consider it is not only the cost of the machine. It is the additional investment that's a torn....a plan to fix it if it breaks, the amount the doctor needs to pay outside help, etc. And not to mention the size of the thing. Such a shame...So many units just there collecting dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
