Robotic Follicle Harvesting

Robotic follicle harvesting is a way of performing the extraction step of a follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant with an image-guided robotic arm. Cameras map the donor area at the back and sides of the scalp, software helps select suitable follicular units, and a small punch removes them one by one at a consistent depth and angle. The surgeon still designs the hairline, decides how many grafts to take, supervises the robot and places the grafts in the thinning areas. People travelling for a hair transplant sometimes ask for it because it offers consistent harvesting in a session that runs most of a day.
