ARTAS Hair Restoration FAQs

The ARTAS Robotic Procedure is a hair restoration solution that uses advanced technology to extract healthy hair grafts for transplantation. Unlike traditional methods, this procedure is minimally invasive and does not require the surgical removal of a strip of tissue from the back and sides of the head. As a result, there is no linear scar left after the surgery and no need for stitches or staples to close the wound. 

This innovative approach utilizes digital imaging and precision robotics to precisely harvest the grafts, ensuring accuracy and effectiveness. The benefits of the ARTAS Robotic Procedure include a quick recovery time and the ability to resume normal activities and work sooner than with traditional hair restoration

Yes, it is recommended to cut your hair before treatment. Trimming your hair in the donor area allows the ARTAS Robotic System to accurately visualize, track, and harvest each grouping of hairs. You will receive instructions on having your hair cut shorter in preparation for your ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant.

After the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant, your hair will have an extremely natural appearance. You will have the freedom to confidently wear your hair at any length or style of your choice.

The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant is different from "hair plugs" as it harvests hairs in their natural groupings and transplants them individually, resulting in a more natural appearance

Yes, the results of ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant are permanent. This procedure involves using your own permanent growing hair, usually from the back of your head, and transplanting it to the areas of your scalp that are thinning. Since this transplanted hair is not affected by the factors that cause male pattern baldness, it will last for the rest of your life.

The recovery and healing time for the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant procedure is shorter compared to most surgical cosmetic procedures. Since there is no need for surgical incisions or stitches, the healing process is quick. Typically, patients can resume their daily activities within a day or two after the procedure. Some doctors may schedule a follow-up visit the day after the treatment to examine the scalp and provide instructions on caring for the newly implanted.

New hair growth after a hair transplant typically occurs in phases. You can expect to see new hairs starting to grow approximately three months after the procedure. Over the course of a full year, the amount of new hair will continue to increase. By around six months, you will notice a significant improvement in hair growth. After a complete year, you will witness the final results of the hair transplant.

With the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant, scarring is minimal and almost invisible. The gradual growth of new hair minimizes the likelihood of others noticing the procedure. While your friends and family may comment on your improved appearance, the results of the hair transplant are subtle and natural.

The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant procedure is not painful as it only requires a local anesthetic. Patients typically feel minimal discomfort and swelling after the procedure, which usually goes away within one to three days.

No, there will not be visible scarring in the donor area. The ARTAS Robotic System harvests individual hair groupings instead of removing a large area of scalp, which eliminates the need for sutures and minimizes scarring. You can wear your hair in any style, whether it's short or long, without having to worry about covering any scarring. 

The duration of the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant procedure typically ranges from four to eight hours, depending on the hair restoration goals set by your doctor. Throughout the process, you will be seated in a comfortable position, and the doctor and staff will be present to ensure your maximum comfort.
