CNN Philippines interviews Dr. Arambulo about FUE and the role of Artas Robotic Technology for FUE hair transplant surgery.
FUE in the Philippines: Expertise and Technology Combined
FUE in the Philippines has become increasingly popular, offering a blend of expertise and cutting-edge technology. Dr. Julieta Peralta Arambulo is renowned for her mastery in performing FUE using both manual tools and motorized devices, including the SAFE-SCRIBE System..
Choosing the Right FUE Device
When it comes to FUE hair transplants, many devices are available, each marketed as the best option. However, some companies may use misleading claims to promote their products. Dr. Arambulo emphasizes the importance of transparency, suggesting that physicians should provide patients with videos demonstrating how FUE is performed, along with the chosen device. This ensures that patients can witness the physician's knowledge, skills, speed, and efficiency firsthand. The ultimate measure of a successful FUE procedure is the production of intact grafts.
Manual and Robotic FUE: A Comparative Insight
The idea of using machines for FUE in the Philippines is appealing, as devices can potentially replicate the precision of a skilled physician while increasing the speed of extraction. The ARTAS® System, for instance, is a highly mechanized, fully robotic device designed for harvesting follicular units (FUs). It’s marketed for its ability to harvest up to 1,000 grafts per hour. In comparison, Dr. Arambulo can manually harvest 38 grafts per minute, demonstrating her expertise and efficiency.
The ARTAS® is often promoted as a solution for doctors who want to perform FUE without mastering manual or motorized techniques. However, Dr. Arambulo advises that physicians should be proficient with both manual punches and motorized FUE devices. She highlights that different scalp characteristics require tailored approaches, with certain technologies working better for specific types of scalps. Furthermore, FUE devices, including ARTAS and robotic systems, may occasionally malfunction, making it crucial to have a backup device to avoid any disruption during the procedure. Therefore, relying solely on ARTAS® is not recommended for a comprehensive FUE practice.
The Role of Skill in Successful FUE Outcomes
Patients must understand that the success of FUE in the Philippines is not solely determined by the type of machine used. The physician's skill, knowledge, and understanding of different FUE devices, combined with the support of a well-trained surgical team, are critical factors in achieving optimal results. At Asian Hair Restoration Center, we provide videos and authentic photos of our outcomes to demonstrate the quality of our work.
