METHODS FOR IMPLANTING FOLLICULAR UNITS USING AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM

摘要

A method for implanting follicular units in a body surface includes (i) acquiring and processing images of a body surface to identify an implantation site on the body surface, (ii) using an automated system including a moveable arm to position an implantation tool mounted on the moveable arm to a location adjacent the implantation site, (ii) implanting a follicular unit in the body surface by movement of the implantation tool relative to the body surface, wherein the images are acquired from one or more cameras mounted on the moveable arm.
