When choosing a hair transplant surgeon, there are 3 main criteria of which you should be aware: the doctor's background and training, the surgical technique that is right for you, and the surgeon's bedside manner and approach to surgery. Read this article by Dr. Robert M. Bernstein for the inside scoop.
Schedule a Consultation The term “cicatricial alopecia” or “scarring alopecia” refers to a diverse group of uncommon disorders that destroy hair follicles and associated sebaceous (oil) glands resulting in permanent hair loss. Although more commonly seen in women, scarring alopecia can occur in both sexes. This destructive process may or may not be symptomatic; for […]
The initial use of the ARTAS Robotic System was the in-vivo separation of follicular units from the surrounding scalp tissue, the first step in a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure. Additional steps in FUE include removal of the follicular unit grafts from the donor scalp, site creation, and graft placement. The ARTAS Robot can now perform one more step in this process, making recipient sites. In performing recipient site creation, the robot automates another part of the hair transplant process that is, in part, repetitive and prone to human error. Observation of the ARTAS System suggests that it performs this function with greater precision and consistency than can be accomplished manually. The robot can create up to 2,000 recipient sites per hour.
We developed Long-hair robotic hair transplants with the ARTAS Robot so a patient can have Robotic FUE without shaving the donor area. With the ARTAS System, we can harvest up to 1,600 grafts in a single session through a long thin band of clipped hair that is easily camouflaged with longer hair immediately after the procedure, although this will vary on the patient’s hair density and the length of their hair.
Viviscal is an oral supplement aimed at boosting hair growth in men and women. Launched in the U.S. in 2008 by Lifes2good Inc., Chicago, Illinois, it uses a proprietary mix of powders derived from sustainably-harvested shark and mollusk species. This “amino marine complex,” called AminoMar®, is blended with vitamin and mineral nutrients to comprise Viviscal. The product’s active ingredients, a group of long chain sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), are especially adept at attracting and retaining water. Ingesting them may contribute to healthy hair and skin. GAGs were isolated from the fish- and protein-rich diet of the Inuit people after a Scandinavian scientist observed the resilience of their skin and hair.

Care should be taken while cleaning the transplanted site during the week following surgery, because it is during this period that the healing mechanisms of […]
Hair Loss Medication Physician Consult Rogaine (minoxidil), a topical hair loss medication, has a 2% solution that is approved for women. Although Propecia (finasteride), is not indicated for women, some female patients with hair loss may benefit from using the oral medication spironolactone (used mainly to control blood pressure). Oral contraceptives higher in estrogen can […]
Schedule a Consultation Transgender hair transplants have become increasingly popular but there is little information about and for trans patients. If there is evidence of genetic pattern hair loss, then medical therapies should be considered to slow future thinning. Many patients have already been placed on a variety of hormonal therapies to support gender transitioning; […]
