The cost of an ARTAS procedure is more expensive than both our High Density Hair Grafting (HD/HG) Procedure and our hand-held FUE procedure.  Hair transplants generally run between 5K-16K.  We encourage you to schedule a free consultation to find out more.  Don't forget to ask about our financing options.

Because a hair transplant is a minor procedure, it does not require general anesthesia.   A numbing medication is used to prevent pain, and relaxation medication helps patients feel tranquil during the process. 

Traditional FUE's are quite lengthy, however, the ARTAS Robotic Transplant is the fastest FUE available.  It can take up to 8 hours from start to finish. 

As with any FUE procedure, the ARTAS produces small circular scars that are hard to detect. Unlike hand-held devices, the ARTAS  uses an advanced algorithm to harvest donor hair more evenly. This prevents over-harvesting which can amplify the visibility of scars in patchy areas.

Ever notice how elderly people typically lose hair on the top up their head but not the sides or the back? Hair in the back of your head is  more resilient and resistant to DHT (a hormone that causes hair loss). During a hair transplant, hair is relocated from the back (the donor area) to balding areas. The donor hair retains its DHT resistant attributes, meaning that it will be as permanent as it was in its original location.  In most cases, this means that the hair will remain for a lifetime unless it's affected by medication, disease, or some other unusual circumstance.  

More hair can be transplanted in one High Density Hair Grafting (HD/HG) procedure.  More hair means less procedures.  The ARTAS is not ideal for those with significant hair loss or hair loss in the crown area.  The ARTAS procedure is also a larger financial investment.

Your expectations, amount of hair loss, and condition of your existing donor hair play a  major role in whether you’ll need more than one procedure.  Your medical consultant can help you set realistic expectations and develop a plan that's right for you.

ARTAS Robotic FUE is a hair transplant procedure that uses advanced technology for optimal results. Here's how it works:

• Hair follicle identification: A special camera system scans your scalp to pinpoint the healthiest hair follicles.
• Precision extraction: A robotic arm carefully removes individual hair follicles one by one.
• Preservation: To protect the extracted follicles, they're immediately placed in a nutrient-rich solution.
• Implantation: A surgeon creates tiny incisions where the new hair follicles will be placed.
• Advantages: Compared to traditional FUE, the robotic method is faster, more accurate, and less likely to damage hair follicles. This helps ensure a natural-looking result with minimal scarring.

Essentially, ARTAS uses robotics to automate the most delicate part of the hair transplant process, leading to improved outcomes.

A skilled surgeon is essential to the ARTAS Robotic FUE process. While the robot assists with hair follicle extraction, the surgeon oversees the entire procedure and performs crucial steps.

Before the procedure, the surgeon evaluates your medical history, administers necessary medications, and monitors your comfort during the process. Once the procedure begins, the robot efficiently extracts hair follicles, while the surgeon meticulously plans the hairline and recipient area.

Creating the tiny incisions where the new hair follicles will be placed is a critical surgical task performed by the doctor. Throughout the procedure, the surgeon maintains quality control, ensuring optimal results and patient safety.

In essence, the ARTAS robot is a tool that enhances the surgeon's precision and efficiency, but the overall artistry and medical expertise come from the doctor.

Unlike Neograft, ARTAS Robotic FUE is fully automated, eliminating human error and fatigue from the hair extraction process. This means consistent precision, from the first to the last hair follicle, without decline in performance.

ARTAS utilizes advanced imaging and algorithms to identify and select the optimal hair follicles for transplantation. This level of accuracy and efficiency is unmatched by manual methods, resulting in a more even and natural-looking hair restoration.

ARTAS Robotic FUE is designed to be a comfortable procedure. To minimize any discomfort, a topical anesthetic is applied to the scalp. Immediately following the procedure, you may experience mild to moderate soreness, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol. Most patients report minimal pain and discomfort overall.

ARTAS Robotic FUE offers significant advantages over traditional manual FUE. Unlike human technicians who can experience fatigue, the ARTAS robot maintains consistent precision throughout the entire procedure. Its advanced algorithm ensures even hair follicle distribution, preventing over-harvesting.

Furthermore, the robotic system is notably faster, leading to less trauma to the hair follicles and a higher survival rate. The ARTAS's high-definition imaging accurately identifies the healthiest hair follicles, maximizing the quality of the graft. This combination of speed, precision, and efficiency translates to superior results for patients seeking hair restoration.

One of the benefits of ARTAS Robotic FUE is its speed compared to traditional manual FUE.An ARTAS procedure typically takes around 6 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts needed. This allows the surgeon to complete the entire procedure in a single day, maximizing comfort and minimizing recovery time.

In contrast, manual FUE procedures can be much more time-consuming, sometimes requiring multiple sessions spread over two days. This can be more tiring for both the patient and the surgeon.

It takes time for transplanted hair to grow.You can start to see initial signs of hair growth around 3-4 months after your ARTAS procedure. However, it's important to remember that it takes approximately 12-14 months to fully appreciate the final results of your hair restoration.
