Gold Standard in Hair Transplant

[Nick911]

All,  been away from the forum for a few years. Long story short, without doing a ton of research, what is the best transplant system out there? I’m just gonna suck it up and do it. Is Artas the way to go? Top surgeons that do this? 
 

TIA

Artas is not the way to go all the top surgeons use a manual punch, there are some different techniques but if you go to a skilled doctor you will be fine, I would consult with someone like dr Konior.

The artas is the complete Opposite of the gold standard.

In my opinion, fut is the gold standard but fue is not far behind if you go to a top doctor and if your interested in going the fue route “Manual punch” Is the way to go!

goodluck

@Nick911 you are way off there is actually a class action lawsuit against Artas and several botched surgeries online for you to look at.

The Gold Standard techniques for FUE are either stick&place (Konior, HLC, Pekiner, Keser) or DHI (Juan Couto, Raphael De Freitas, Bruno Ferreira).

There’s a whole debate on manual vs motorized punch but I have been told that either option can provide the same high level results as it’s all about the skill of the Doctor you select to do your surgery. 

The best technique in the hands of a average doctor will still get you a average result.

ARTAS is definitely not the way to go, there are a few surgeons getting decent results. But they are few and far in between. The fact of the matter is that the majority of the good FUE results are coming from manual extraction, now this could be from a motorized or manual punch.

Thanks everyone. As mentioned it’s been awhile. So FUT is the way to go? Any recommendations for top surgeons? I’m in Alberta,  Canada. I guess my other question is I have all my hair in the front and on top, have a 4” balding patch in the back. So stands to reason I’d have to have the procedure done a few times?

If you are in Canada you should consult with Hasson & Wong, they will advise you best but I would consider FUE over FUT, you can achieve great results with FUE and not have to deal with the scar on the back of your head.

I don’t know the difference between FUE and FUT, however I DO NOT want the scar. That’s what appealed to me about the ARTAS.

There’s pros and cons to both the fut and fue. Some people will say fue and some fut so I suggest you do some research into it. As far as doctors in your area, if it was me hasson&wong without a doubt.

I would check out both Rahal and Hasson and Wong, Dr. Nakatsui was trained by Dr. Wong, and he’s in Alberta. Definitely worth consulting with all 3.
