Robotic Hair Transplant: Advanced Technology for Natural Hair

Why does hair fall?

Hair loss concerns both men and women. Do you know what are the causes of hair loss?

Let us enumerate them:

• Genetics.

• Aging

• Medications

• Stress both physical and emotional

• Medical conditions like thyroid

• Hormonal imbalances

• Certain skin diseases

Why Hair thinning? Have you ever heard of Androgenic Alopecia?

This male pattern baldness is the cause of hair thinning. The hair follicles become sensitive to dihydrotestosterone or DHT which is a hormone. As a result of this, the hair follicle becomes thin, deteriorates, and stops growing.

 

How much hair could I lose daily?

 

Normally, a person loses 50 to 100 hairs a day. If you experience severe hair loss, then it is the first sign of baldness.

What could be the first sign of baldness in men?

The first sign of baldness in men is hair usually receding at the forehead or crown.

Why choose a hair transplant?

 

Good hair, good looks, good confidence, and a good personality! This is what dense hair gives you.

The cosmetic concern is the main reason why people prefer hair transplants. With the advent of technology, hair transplant has become one of the most successful surgeries.

Why robotic hair transplant?

 

Robotic hair transplants are preferred due to the following advantages:

• State-of-the-art technology.

• Less operator fatigue

• Less scarring

• Minimal complications

• No incisions

• No stitches

• Proven results

• No side effects

• Short recovery time

Are robotic hair transplants approved by FDA?

Yes, ARTAS Robotic Hair Restoration System is approved by FDA. It is the latest advanced technology in hair restoration.

The main advantages of this technology include:

• Accuracy and consistency.

• Maximum preservation of follicles.

• Minimise injury to hair follicles

• Robotic techniques remove follicular units directly from the back and sides of the scalp.

Procedure of robotic hair transplant

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. No pain is experienced during and after the procedure.

• Physical examination: The hair transplant surgeon carefully evaluates the hairline, and previous photographs, and case history is taken.

• Sterilization of instruments.

• Medications and anesthesia: Sedatives and vibratory anesthesia are administered. Vibratory anesthesia means the application of high-frequency vibration to the skin as the anesthetic is given for reducing the sensation of the injections. The anesthesia is given around the perimeter of the scalp to make the entire scalp numb.

• Donor tissue: The hair in the donor area is cut small and the length is reduced to 1mm. The region is usually the back and sides of the scalp. In robotic FUE, the patient sits leaning forward. The forehead lies on a special headrest.

• Extraction of grafts: The robot scans the donor area and carefully selects specific follicles, which it then separates from the surrounding tissue one by one. These selected follicular units are extracted from a specified area and then kept in a cooled HypoThermosol solution, which mimics the body's natural fluids, to ensure their maximum survival outside the body.

• Covering of donor area: After grafts are obtained, the donor area is covered with antibiotic ointment.

• Stereo-Microscopic Dissection: During the Robotic FUE procedure, the extracted grafts undergo a thorough assessment under a microscope to ensure their integrity and sort them based on the number of hairs they contain. If larger follicular units are extracted and needed for a specific area, such as the frontal hairline, they may be microscopically dissected into smaller 1-hair grafts if there aren't enough naturally occurring groups. This process is especially important in procedures like eyebrow restoration, where all single-hair grafts are required.

• Recipient site preparation: The hair transplant surgeon uses hypothermic needles of size 19 gauge to prepare the site. An angle is set at which new hair will grow. This step also determines the distribution and density of the grafts. This is the most crucial step and requires good expertise.

• Graft insertion: After creating all the recipient sites, the surgical team begins to insert the follicular unit grafts into them. They use one-hair follicular units for the frontal hairline, which gives a natural and soft look. For the central forelock area, they use 2- and 3-hair grafts to achieve maximum fullness. Placing the grafts is the most time-consuming part of the hair loss surgery. It requires precision and accuracy, and during this process, patients are asked to keep their heads still.

• Post-operative evaluation: The graft positioning is double-checked. The donor area is covered with a tennis bandage. The dressing is not required.

Conclusion

Planning for a hair transplant? FUE is the best choice for you!

Robotic hair transplant is an advanced technology guided by Artificial intelligence. One of the unique features of a robotic hair transplant is that it performs 3-D mapping of the patient’s scalp and hair follicles.

It scans each hair follicle 60 times per second. The hair angle set in a robotic hair transplant provides direction to hair growth and gives a more natural-looking result.
