FUE TECHNIQUE WITH ARTAS™ ROBOT

DESCRIPTION

Robotic hair transplant surgery is a significant advance in the technology of the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure. In Robotic FUE technique, the ARTAS™ Robotic System automates two key steps in an FUE hair transplant; follicular unit graft harvesting and recipient site creation. The automation of these two steps enables surgeons to perform FUE with unparalleled precision and consistency and allows for the maximum preservation of follicles. The robot’s optical three-dimensional guidance system and dual punch mechanism first locate then extract follicular units according to specifications programmed by the physician. Robotic hair transplants have the several advantages over other traditional hair transplants with no linear scar and no post operative limitations on physical activity and, furthermore, the ARTAS™ robot removes risks of human error.

LENGTH OF SURGERY

The ARTAS™ robotic procedure generally takes place from 4 to 8 hours which is determined by your doctor to achieve your hair restoration goals. You will be seated during the procedure, and the doctor and staff are there with you to maximize your comfort throughout the procedure.

TYPE OF ANESTHESIA

During the procedure, the patient is given local anesthesia to the area to be harvested.

RISKS

• Numbness
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Pain
• Swelling
• Itching
• Hiccups
• Scarring

RECOVERY TIME

Recovery time for the ARTAS™ Procedure is less than a week with most surgical cosmetic procedures. Healing time is short, and you can usually go back to your daily activities after a day or two. It takes approximately three days for the transplanted hair to stand and for growth cells to be transferred from the follicles to the scalp. Within one week, your appearance returns to back to normal.
