To date, last Friday’s broadcast is the most viewed live streamed cosmetic surgery procedure in the history of internet broadcasting. We’re glad that so many of our loyal TBT listeners, viewers and readers were able to drop by.
For decades surgical hair restoration has been a very specialized field. In order to perform truly state-of-the-art hair transplantation it takes a great deal of experience and an extremely well trained staff of assistants. With the advent of these so-called automated devices, industry is selling complete novices on the notion that incorporating hair transplantation into any cosmetic surgery practice is now possible with a simple turnkey solution.
Spencer Kobren and Joe Tillman give their perspective on the future of surgical hair restoration and provide their views on the direction of the field and how it effects prospective hair transplant patients.
Remember, even with the latest and greatest technology, the end result of any hair transplant is dependent on the skill and experience of the hair transplant surgeon and their staff. Do your homework and always check with The American Hair Loss Association or the IAHRS before considering consulting with any hair transplant clinic.
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.
"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.
