April 18, 2025The robotic aspect of ARTAS hair transplantation is far superior to the manual techniques. This is because the ARTAS robot can scan each hair follicle 60 times per second which is approximately 12 times more often than the human eye can scan. This ensures that we are pulling each follicle out with less likelihood of damage, which will mean a higher likelihood that the hair will survive in the newly transplanted location. In addition, the robot has much less mechanical error in its movement than the human hand does, and again, this is critical for ensuring graft survival.
On top of that, the ARTAS robot specifically calculates the distance between each hair follicle at the donor site. It then determines which hair follicle to extract so that it leaves a donor site where you can’t tell that hair was removed over the long-term. In contrast, when hair follicles are removed manually it is possible to have over- and under-harvested areas in certain regions. This will then result in a moth-eaten-like appearance to the donor site.
Our goal with ARTAS hair transplantation is not just to ensure that you have beautiful hair where you didn’t have it, but also to ensure that where we took the hair from looks great as well.
