ARTAS robot vs manual FUE - Which is better?

I'm torn between ARTAS robotic FUE and manual FUE. The robot is more precise but some say it damages more follicles. Has anyone experienced both? Which gave better results?

I personally underwent a manual FUE procedure a year ago and I'm happy with my results. The manual technique allowed my surgeon to have greater control and precision during the extraction process. However, the downside was that it took longer compared to an ARTAS procedure. I chose manual FUE because I preferred the hands-on approach and felt more comfortable with a skilled surgeon performing the procedure. Keep in mind that the cost may be higher for manual FUE compared to ARTAS, so it's important to weigh the pros and cons based on your own preferences and budget. Ultimately, both techniques have their own advantages, so it's important to research and consult with a reputable surgeon to determine which option is best for you.

I've had personal experience with both the ARTAS robot and manual FUE procedures, and I found both to have their own pros and cons. The ARTAS robot was definitely more precise and efficient, resulting in a quicker and more accurate extraction process. However, it was also more expensive compared to manual FUE. On the other hand, manual FUE was more cost-effective and allowed for a more personalized approach by the surgeon. It did take longer and required more manual labor, but I felt like the results were just as good as with the robot. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and budget when deciding between the two methods.
