IAHRS accepted member and chairman of the FUE research committee for the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, Parsa Mohebi, M.D. gives his take on the value and the current limitations of the ARTAS® Robotic Hair Transplant System.
Alopecia Areata affects approximately two percent of the world’s population, which includes more than 6.5 million American men, women and children. According to The American Hair Loss Association, Alopecia Areata (AA) is the third most common form of hair loss dermatologists see in their practices, and is considered one of the most emotionally devastating of all dermatological diseases.
Until now, treatments for Alopecia Areata, Totalis and Universalis have been mildly effective at best.
Watch Spencer Kobren’s in-depth interview with Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine, Dr. Brett King, as he discusses, how with the help of Dr. Angela Christiano’s groundbreaking research, he reversed the hair loss process in a young man who suffered with AA for most of his life.
IAHRS member and Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, Dr. Robert Bernstein calls the show to discuss why he believes the ARTAS® Robotic Hair Transplant system, is currently the most effective state-of-the-art tool in surgical hair restoration today. While, hair transplant surgery is not a one size fits all procedure, all signs point to a market shift that is sure to make Restoration Robotics, makers of the ARTAS®, the hands down leader in the game, however, is this trend really in the best interest of hair restoration patients? Only time will tell.
"Spencer Kobren's nationally syndicated show "The Bald Truth" has a dedicated listenership that would have Rush Limbaugh pulling his hair out in envy." --Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
