It’s Science.
Leading Edge Follicular Unit Extraction
Robots help surgeons perform the most delicate and complex operations with precision only dreamed of a few years ago. Thousands of people undergo ‘da Vinci’ robotic assisted surgery across the world every day for prostate and cardiac surgery. Now the ARTAS Robotic FUE is being used to transform hair restoration.
Truth Matters.
It’s the Only “True” Robotic Procedure
If it’s hand-held it’s not truly robotic. Here in Tennessee there are many clinics that advertise their hand-guided “robotic” FUE devices. It’s important to understand that a hand-held device is 100% dependent on the vulnerabilities of the surgeon.
Unlike a human, the first harvest attempt by a robot is as fast and accurate as the 2000th harvest attempt. At PAI we are the only clinic in the state of Tennessee to offer ARTAS Robotic FUE, the only true robotic hair transplant.
Our Little Secret.
There’s No Linear Scar
The ARTAS procedure is the most sophisticated, minimally invasive Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method available. For those who like to wear their hair extremely short, this procedure is your best option because there is no linear scar.
These are photos of the donor area. 12 days later there is no sign of a transplant.
Limitless Endurance.
Eliminates Human Error & Fatigue
The ARTAS outperforms manual FUE by reducing transection through robotic analysis of hair angles and thickness. Imaging is superior with High-Definition Stereoscopic Vision.
Plus, the quality of the first graft is identical to the quality of the 1000th graft because human fatigue is eliminated and the robotic system doesn’t grow tired.
Exact is Better.
Unmatched Precision and Accuracy
With micron level accuracy and precision, hair is identified and delicately harvested using a complex algorithm which selects the best hairs for your transplant. It’s been said the robot is up to a 1,000 times more accurate than hand guided systems.
The speed and accuracy of the robot far exceeds that of a manual FUE procedure as well as motorized handheld tools and gives the doctor much more control.
Up in No Time.
Little Downtime
The ARTAS Robotic system is less invasive than a traditional hair transplant. There are no linear sutures which makes recovery time faster than a non-FUE procedure. Within 24-48 hours any discomfort from the procedure will subside and you can resume your daily activities. In just a few days the donor area will return to normal. Patients can resume a regular exercise routine after 10 days.
Unrivaled Speed.
Faster, Shorter Procedure
Unlike the competition’s 12+ hour procedures, our ARTAS procedure takes 8 hours or less. That means a shorter, more comfortable hair transplant for our patients. It also means less fatigue and better performance for our medical team.
Less Transection.
Eliminating Accidental Hair Destruction
Nothing can compare to the ARTAS’s robotic speed, accuracy and precision. Manual FUE involves harvesting with a small hand punch device. Some punches are automated but in both cases the physician or technician must guide a hollow punch device over the small hair, or group of hairs, and thread them through the middle of the punch. It can be a challenge to extract the hair or hairs without damaging them or the important surrounding / supportive tissue. Without the precision of robotics, hairs can sometimes be damaged or killed. This is also known as ‘nipping’ or ‘transection’.
With up to 99% accuracy, the ARTAS harvests hairs from the donor region with precision not achievable by the human hand. At PAI we recently upgraded to the latest ARTAS 9x, which is even faster and more precise than ever contributing to the health and vitality of donor hairs.
Questions?
Am I a good candidate?
If you are strongly apposed to a linear scar, then an ARTAS procedure might be right for you. This procedure is not ideal for someone with significant hair loss. A person with moderate hair loss in the frontal hairline or the top of the scalp (not the crown) would potentially be a good candidate. It’s ideal if a person is 40 or older because hair loss patterns have already been established and it is easier to predict future hair loss the older you get.
Is an ARTAS hair transplant permanent?
The donor hair is taken from the back of the head which is DHT resistant to hair loss. When the hair is transplanted to balding areas it is permanent.
Will I need a second transplant?
Your expectations and amount of hair loss play a major role in whether you’ll need more than one procedure. If you have major hair loss, it might be better to have a Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ procedure.
I'm under 30. Is the ARTAS procedure right for me?
The younger you are, the more difficult it will be to predict whether or not you’ll have a significant amount of hair loss. The ARTAS procedure is best for those with moderate hair loss.
Why would anyone choose a Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ if they can have an ARTAS procedure?
More hair can be transplanted in one Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ 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.
Does it hurt?
Due to mild anesthesia the procedure is pain free. After the procedure there is mild discomfort for 24-48 hours. A prescription pain medicine will be prescribed, however many people opt to take Tylenol instead.
