Robert M. Bernstein, M.D., F.A.A.D.,
world-renowned pioneer of the Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant techniques and
founder of Bernstein Medical - Center for Hair Restoration, will
become the first hair transplant surgeon on the East Coast to use
the robotic ARTAS System for Hair Restoration.
Dr. Bernstein, a Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Columbia
University in New York, said that he is excited to incorporate the
image-guided robotic system into his FUE procedures. "The ARTAS
System is a ground-breaking technology for hair transplantation that
will provide significant benefits to our patients," said Dr.
Bernstein. "From the accuracy of follicular unit graft extraction to
the automation of what is normally a labor and skill intensive
procedure, the outcome is better hair restoration results and
faster, more comfortable procedures."
The ARTAS System for Hair Restoration, developed by Restoration
Robotics, Inc., overcomes some of the human limitations in
performing FUE hair transplant procedures. Greater accuracy in
extracting follicular unit grafts, combined with the sharp/blunt
extraction technique, allows for graft removal with less damage to
the graft and greater preservation of its protective tissues. A
lower rate of damage increases the probability that the grafts will
survive the transplant process, leading to better results. The
automation of what is a technically challenging and physically
demanding process for the physician when performed manually,
contributes to a shorter procedure and a decreased need for local
anesthetic.
By utilizing the latest and most effective advancements in hair
transplantation technology, Dr. Bernstein, a New York native, is
extending his record as a true pioneer in the field of hair
restoration. His landmark medical publications on follicular unit
transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE)
revolutionized the field and provide the foundation for techniques
in use by surgeons across five continents. His medical practice has
been devoted exclusively to the treatment of hair loss since 1995
and he now performs both restorative and corrective procedures at
his state-of-the-art hair restoration facility in mid-town
Manhattan.
