Dr Bernstein performed two hair transplant procedures on me approx. 7 years ago and it was and is the best thing i couldve done for myself. I investigated many doctors prior to choosing Dr Bernstein to perform my surgery and their isnt a better doctor i could have used. When i doubt go to the best !! thank you Doc.
Dr. Bernstein: Thanks for your kind words, Keith.
I have see the procedure, it is OK. What I really need to know is about the new robot that does hair transplant, when is going to be available in the hair transplant market?. I have hair all over my body (my mom is italian), I want to know if this hair can be used in hair transplant. Please let me know. Thank you.
Dr. Bernstein: Robotic hair transplants are still a number of years away. Automated hair transplants, where the doctor uses a mechanical device to assist in the procedure, are available for the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), but this technique is, at present, inferior to other methods. See our Neograft page. On your second question, under most circumstances, body hair is not of sufficient quality to allow it to be useful for a hair transplant.
