Spencer Kobren discusses the importance and reality of coming to terms with hair loss and speaks with callers who share their struggles and triumphs in dealing with this devastating, yet manageable disease of the spirit.
Spencer Kobren speaks with IAHRS accepted member Dr. Glenn Charles about the future of surgical hair restoration, and if robotic devices like The ARTAS hair transplant system might someday make hair transplantation a more universally accepted treatment for common androgenic alopecia. Will removing some of the human variables that exist today produce more consistent and reproducible results? Only time will tell, but there is no doubt that if a device can be manufactured that reduces the chance of human error, while helping to produce truly refined cosmetic results, this will be a true game changer.

Most true experts in the field agree that becoming proficient in surgical hair restoration takes a great deal of hands on training. There is no such thing as a “turn-key” solution to becoming a truly skilled hair transplant surgeon, however, some device manufactures will have you think differently. Listen as IAHRS accepted member, Parsa Mohebi, M.D, one of the very first hair transplant surgeons in the country to test the NeoGraft in his own practice, discuss his concerns about how these devices are being marketed to physicians entering the field, and how this can effect the lives of the patients they serve.
