ARTAS Hair Transplant

Artas Hair Transplant

ARTAS hair transplantation-the robot, AI-powered method of removing hair grafts individually, to one and all hair follicles individually, no knife, no linear scar, but a very quick healing time. If you’ve been looking into different hair-transplant choices at the moment and one term appears again and again you may have noticed “ARTAS” – here is precisely what ARTAS procedure is about, how is it different to other hair transplant techniques and could this be suitable for you?

What Is an ARTAS Hair Transplant?

ARTAS is a physician-driven robotic device used for Follicular Unit Extraction-one of today’s most utilized hair transplantation methods. Traditional FUE doesn’t incorporate
i) Detailed 3-D scalp images
ii) AI that determines follicular angle, depth, and distance from each other
iii)A robotic arm that reliably and precisely harvests individual hair grafts, respectively.
After receiving FDA approval for hair restoration, it can now serve to supplement the surgeon, but does not remove the doctor from the surgical process-instead they simply control the system while ensuring accuracy at each step.

How Does the ARTAS System Work, Step by Step?

It is reassuring to know exactly what will happen as this will set a reasonable expectation for you before booking an appointment.

Step 1

Mapping Once complete the ARTAS system scans an image of the donor region (the sides and back of the scalp). It carefully looks at the placement and the angle of each hair follicle under the skin as well as measuring the density around each of them. This mapping of the scalp changes at an optimum rate up to 50 times every second throughout the extraction process.

Step 2

Intelligent follicle selection Once the donor area has been mapped by the AI computer which uses a number of algorithms; it searches for and selects appropriate individual hair follicles that have best chance of growing and also checks there is sufficient space between each follicle to prevent “gaps” in the scalp as the follicles are extracted.

Step 3

Robotic extraction The robotic arm system operates using a dual-punch mechanism. The outside punch creates a tiny circle surrounding each individual hair follicle while the inner, hollow punch expertly extracts the selected follicles. As well as avoiding injury to surrounding tissues there is also a far smaller rate of transection (damage to the hair follicle stem) with a higher graft survival.

Step 4

Creation of recipient site and transplantation After extraction from the donor site the grafted hair is meticulously placed one by one into created recipient sites on the thinning or bald area. This requires the skilled eyes of the surgeon to re-create a natural hair line design at an accurate natural angle and growth direction.

What Makes ARTAS Hair Transplant Different from Manual FUE?

A conventional hand-driven FUE process relies completely on the surgeon’s hand, stamina and consistency (which can fluctuate significantly throughout a long surgery process). ARTAS however can achieve it using a machine which does not wear out.
Among other advantages:
i)Consistency – The robotic machine is consistent with the same accuracy level right through from the first to the last graft no matter the session length.

ii)Shorter transection rate – With AI’s intervention to extract it is less likely that roots get severed and therefore, improves quality of the grafts.

iii)Randomized harvesting – it harvests it in a randomized manner across the donor area to prevent a patchy look.

iv)Faster speed – The speed is virtually impossible to be matched by a human across a large session without wearing out.
It should be noted that ARTAS will likely work best with patients who have very dark or straight/wavy dark hair as it works based on difference of contrast from scalp.

Who Is a Good Candidate for ARTAS Robotic Hair Restoration?

ARTAS is for male and female hair loss, but typically used for male patterned hair loss. The appropriate candidate usually has:
i) A stable and distinct donor area in terms of the number and quantity of healthy follicular units available
ii) Is not a heavy smoker, which can affect wound healing and survival rate of hair grafts.
iii) The patient can be expected to accept the realistic potential result of the ARTAS system and the expected time taken.
iv) Has reasonable physical condition.
Patients with pale blonde or grey hair, or very curly hair may not be the appropriate candidate due to lack of definition of an image if the background contrast method is used. A consultation with an experienced and appropriate hair restoration surgeon is needed.

Recovery and Results: What to Expect

The short downtime also draws many people to ARTAS hair transplantation. Since ARTAS transplantation results in no scar on the donor area, almost all of our patients return to their daily routines in a day or two. In general:
Days 1-5: Redness and small scabs may be noticed in implantation and extraction sites.
Weeks 3-4: Harvested hair falls out, which is expected.
Months 3-4: New hair sprouts in the recipient area.
Month 12: Hair has a thick and dense appearance.
Your results will last a lifetime because transplanted hair is harvested from DHT resistant follicles so it should continue growing for a lifetime once it has been implanted on the recipient area.

How Much Does It Cost? Understanding Hair Transplant Pricing

For most cases it is a more expensive process than manual FUE, as technology is employed in Robotic FUE hair restoration. Cost would greatly depend on the number of grafts to be placed, the hospital the procedure will be performed and also the surgeon providing the procedure.
If you are weighing out the options, first figure out the cost of Hair Transplant in Delhi – as different clinics charge from different prices, low prices don’t always promise the desired result. So keep in mind while choosing; number of grafts, credibility of the doctor, hospital’s background, aftercare etc. Along with the charges.
For the rest of us out there, having a basic idea about Hair Transplant in Delhi becomes handy too to gauge the services offered by clinics nationwide.

Why Choose a Specialist Clinic for ARTAS Procedures?

The technology is only effective in the hands of the people wielding it. ARTAS is a physician-assisted procedure-your surgeon’s decision with hairline design, placing the follicular units, and aesthetic design are still the biggest deciding factor. At Fuse Hair, only Hair Restoration experts perform each procedure.
Whether you want to consider the ARTAS hair transplant, or simply Conventional FUE, our experts will provide you with an honest recommendation which technique is the best for your hair loss pattern, donor density and final result.
