NY1, a New York City television channel, has featured Dr. Bernstein in a segment on robotic hair transplantation.
In the piece, Dr. Bernstein describes why having a computer-driven, image-guided robot is so helpful for hair transplantation. He also discusses the quality of follicular units extracted using the robot.
4.25 stars from 4 vote(s)Q: I wanted to find out about the difference between what Dr. Bernstein does with his robotic system versus NeoGraft.
A: The ARTAS robotic system, used at Bernstein Medical, has robotic control, video imaging and uses a blunt dissection technique. This allows for very precise extraction of follicular units from the donor area with minimal transection. The Neograft machine for FUE is a manually operated machine which uses sharp edge dissection. Because it relies on manual controls rather than robotics, it is less accurate and the cutting tip causes more graft injury. The precision of the robot allows the grafts to be harvested with less trauma and will thus result in better growth. In my opinion, these differences are very significant.

The New York Times, once again, has recognized Dr. Bernstein’s pioneering hair restoration techniques. The NYT Fashion and Style section noted that he is, “the first hair transplant surgeon on the east coast,” to use the ARTAS robotic system for Follicular Unit Extraction.
2.80 stars from 5 vote(s)Q: Is robotic FUE more expensive than traditional Follicular Unit Extraction?
A: In our practice, we charge the same per graft for both procedures. However, there is a slightly higher minimum fee for robotic FUE procedures. See our Hair Transplant Costs & Consultation Fees page.
Q: Does Follicular Unit Extraction performed by a robot hurt more than regular FUE?
A: Both robotic FUE and traditional FUE are performed under local anesthesia, so the actual procedures are painless.
