Some details about the ARTAS Hair Transplant

ARTAS hair transplant is a hair restoration technique in which a robotic arm is used. This unique system uses advanced images technology and software to precisely select and extract hair follicles from the donor site of the scalp.

The system that the ARTAS robot has must be operated by a plastic surgeon with extensive experience to provide a more precise, safe and effective hair follicle extraction. The system’s imaging technology scans and maps the surface of the scalp, allowing the surgeon to select hair follicles for removal.

Once the hair follicles are selected, the ARTAS robot uses a puncture system with a micro-needle tip to extract the follicles one by one from the donor area. They are then manually transplanted into the recipient area of the scalp according to the design drawn up by the plastic surgeon.

Being a modern system, ARTAS hair transplant has several benefits, such as more precise and less invasive hair follicle extraction, faster recovery and a more natural appearance of the transplanted hair. However, the cost of the procedure can be higher compared to other hair transplant techniques.

With this in mind, below, we will talk about the pros and cons of the ARTAS hair transplant. In this way, you can consider it as an option in hair restoration or look for another procedure that also gives you good results.

Pros of ARTAS Hair Transplant

First of all, we will talk about all the advantages of the ARTAS hair transplant . This procedure offers several advantages compared to other hair transplant techniques, especially those that are done manually; among them is:

1. Obtain better hair follicles: The images technology and the puncture system of the ARTAS robot allow a precise and selective extraction of hair follicles from the donor area of the scalp, without causing damage to adjacent follicles.

2. Less invasive procedure: The system that the ARTAS robot uses to extract the follicles is less invasive than other techniques, such as the extraction of skin strips in FUT hair transplantation.
3. Faster recovery: Due to the precision of the extraction and the use of advanced imaging technology, recovery after ARTAS hair transplant is generally faster than with other hair transplant techniques.
4. Natural-Looking Results: ARTAS hair transplantation provides natural and aesthetically pleasing results by using healthy, non-invasive hair follicles for transplantation.
5. Greater comfort After the Procedure: Patients typically experience less pain and discomfort after ARTAS hair transplantation, which translates into greater comfort during recovery.

Cons of ARTAS Hair Transplant

As we already mentioned, the ARTAS hair transplant has important advantages that you should consider; however, there are also some cons that should be considered before undergoing this procedure. Some of these disadvantages are:

1. High cost per procedure: The cost of ARTAS hair transplant is generally higher than other hair transplant techniques. This is due to the use of advanced technology that not many clinics can access.
2. Risks associated with any surgical procedure: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of complications such as infection, bleeding, or reactions to anesthesia; but we’ll make sure you don’t have a problem.
3. Procedure time: ARTAS hair transplantation can be a lengthy process, as each hair follicle must be individually selected and extracted by the robot. However, this is normal in any hair transplant.

In conclusion, although ARTAS hair transplant is an advanced and effective technique, it is important that patients consider the drawbacks and speak with an experienced plastic surgeon to determine if it is the best option for their specific case.
