ARTAS Hair Transplant is a less invasive, surgical hair transplant procedure. The Robotic System utilizes Artificial Intelligence™ algorithms and micron-level precision robotics to naturally restore hair without the need for plugs, stitches or sutures. The system is used to extract healthy follicular units from the donor area (area unaffected by hair loss) and transplant them back into the recipient site (area affected by hair loss).

DONOR AREA: The donor area for a hair transplant is the section where healthy hair grafts will be taken from for graft harvesting. This area is usually found on the back and sides of the scalp where hair growth is permanent and not affected by the chemical DHT, one of the main influencers of male and female pattern baldness.

RECIPIENT SITE: The recipient site is the section of the scalp where healthy grafts harvested from the donor area will be transplanted. This area is usually found on the top and crown of the head where thinning hair occurs most frequently.

The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant procedure can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours depending on the patient’s hair restoration needs, goals and desires. The patient will be seated comfortably throughout the entirety of the procedure, and may take breaks at any point in time. The ARTAS procedure is virtually painless; however, local anesthesia will be applied to the donor and recipient areas in order to reduce any trace of discomfort for the patient. Most patients report little to no pain during and after the treatment.
