Benefits of the ARTAS iX Robotic Hair Restoration System

The ARTAS iX robotic hair restoration system is the newest and most advanced technology available in FUE (follicular unit extraction) hair transplantation and it is available today at North Texas Plastic Surgery in Southlake. Let’s consider some of the benefits of the ARTAS iX system to determine your hair restoration choices.

#1- Results Are Natural Looking

In the past, you may have stayed away from getting “hair plugs,” which is an ineffective, patchy way to cover up hair loss. The ARTAS hair restoration system moves individual hair follicles instead of strips of the scalp, and the follicles are transplanted in a pattern that will match with surrounding hair growth. You will not have a scar and the “new” hair will fit in easily. Once healed, you should look like you were born with great hair!

#2- Results Are Permanent

Once transplanted, the hair that takes will live forever in its new location. This is because the hair that is transplanted maintains the genetic characteristics and growth patterns from the location that donated it. That means it will be resistant to dihydrotestosterone and its negative effect on hair growth.

#3- The Procedure Is Virtually Pain-Free

ARTAS hair transplants are highly sought after due to the ease and painlessness of the procedure. Local anesthetics are used to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Post-procedure, most patients may take one or two pain pills, but generally are pain-free within 12-24 hours.

#4- Excellent Hair Follicle Survival

The primary determinant in hair follicle survival is the accuracy with which the hair is harvested from the donor site. If the surgeon is off by even a few degrees with his or her drill, the hair follicle will be destroyed. It will not survive the transplant process and it will not regrow at the donor site.

While human eyes and hands are very good at harvesting hair using technologies such as Neograft, they are not nearly as accurate as the ARTAS robot which uses AI to scan each hair follicle many more times a second than the human eye can, and uses a smooth repeatable robotic motion that is also steadier than the human hand. For this reason, the hair follicle survival rates are significantly higher with the ARTAS robot than with any other technology.

#5- Quicker Treatment Time

We all know that computers can speed up processes when used correctly. The ARTAS technology uses AI-generated algorithms that speed up the process of picking follicles for transplant without jeopardizing follicle quality. The transplantation process is also accelerated by intelligent algorithms that control the insertion angle and distribution that keeps transplanted hairs looking like natural additions, and ensures that hair follicles are extracted from the donor site with uniform spacing so that once healed, it is impossible to tell anything was done to the donor site.

 #6- No Scar to Worry About

Another popular hair transplant method, FUT (follicular unit transplantation) is sometimes called the strip method. It involves taking a strip of follicle-bearing tissue from the back of your head and transplanting it into areas where hair is thinning or missing. The downside is: the area where the strip is taken from must be closed using sutures, and it leaves a linear scar. This causes major scarring that prevents men from wearing their hair short in the future and can be visible when the hair is wet in longer hair styles.

There are no scars left with ARTAS iX technology since each hair follicle is extracted and transplanted separately. The micro holes where the follicles used to be will leave virtually no visible scarring. Moreover, because ARTAS uses artificial intelligence to evenly extract the hair, you will never be left with patchy growth in the donor site like you can with be manual FUE technologies such as Neograft.

#7- Quicker Recovery Time

There will be a few things you will need to do immediately after your hair transplant, such as wearing a protective cap and giving treated areas some special care. But the overall time to recover from this form of FUE, done with micro incisions, is much faster than traditional FUE procedures.

#8- Healthy Hair Follicles Are Protected

The technology protects existing hair follicles with precision extraction and then careful placement in the recipient area. Hair follicles are precisely mapped, and micro incisions are all that is needed to remove and place the hair follicles. This protects existing hair follicles at the donor and recipient sites.
