Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted March 17, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 17, 2023 Those machines are a menace. FUE should only be done slowly, carefully and methodically with hand held manual tools and adequate rest for the physician. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted March 21, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2023 I was wondering what happened to the Artas technology.

Senior Member HairFunk Posted March 22, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) I totally forgot all about ARTAS. I remember there was HUGE debate many years ago about whether machines were better than surgeons for FUE / plus the if machines were better / more ethical than extraction technicians (who were trained). I also remember one guy posting about his ARTAS experience and that the machine kept punching grafts once the target graft count was already reached as nobody was there to switch it off as they were all out the room!

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 22, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 22, 2023 I rang in to The Bald Truth and the ARTAS was discussed. It has punches that are way to big and it really needs an excellent surgeon to operate it yet many doctors bought it as a training tool! This is why it has botched a lot of patients up. If the doctor has the skill set then there is no need for a coffee stand! 1 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 22, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted March 22, 2023 The punches might be 0.9 inside but end up 1.1mm because the outer diameter is thick. That’s an enormous punch almond like a plug. 1 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

If the goal is to make the back of your head look like swiss cheese then I guess the machine is "better".

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted April 29, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Hey Melvin, are doctors still using the NeoGraft technology? They used to use my before/afters in their adds way back in 2014. My doctor quit using the technology a long time ago. He felt like the machine may have been drying out the grafts, if I remember correctly.
