Hair loss can be a frustrating experience, and finding the right solution often feels overwhelming. Advances in medical technology have paved the way for ARTAS robotic hair transplant, a cutting-edge solution that offers precise, natural-looking results. Unlike traditional methods, ARTAS combines robotics with artificial intelligence to improve both efficiency and outcomes.

If you are considering hair restoration, understanding how ARTAS technology works and its benefits can help you make an informed decision. This article covers everything from the procedure to recovery time and costs, ensuring you have a clear idea of what to expect.

What is ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant?

The ARTAS robotic hair transplant is a minimally invasive procedure designed to restore hair using robotic precision. Developed to address the limitations of manual hair transplants, ARTAS uses artificial intelligence to analyze hair follicles and select the best grafts for extraction and placement. This results in higher accuracy, better distribution, and less trauma to the scalp.

Unlike conventional methods, the ARTAS system automates the most intricate parts of the process, eliminating the inconsistencies that can occur with manual procedures. Because of the robotic precision, patients experience fewer errors and better long-term results.

This method is ideal for those seeking a long-lasting solution with minimal pain, scarring, or recovery time. Whether you are dealing with pattern baldness or thinning hair, ARTAS offers a reliable way to regain confidence with natural-looking hair growth.

How ARTAS Technology Works: A Step-by-Step Process

Advanced AI Precision for Better Results

The ARTAS system scans your scalp to identify the healthiest hair follicles for extraction. AI technology determines the most suitable grafts, ensuring an even distribution when implanted. This detailed mapping prevents over-harvesting from any area, leaving behind a uniform appearance.

The precision of the robotic arm ensures that grafts are removed with minimal damage, which leads to higher graft survival rates and healthier hair growth over time. This level of accuracy is hard to replicate with manual techniques, setting ARTAS apart from traditional procedures.

Minimizing Pain and Scarring with Robotics

ARTAS technology reduces discomfort by eliminating the need for stitches or incisions. The robot extracts individual follicles, leaving tiny punctures that heal quickly and fade over time. Most patients report minimal pain during the procedure and little to no visible scarring after recovery.

The robotic process also ensures that transplanted hairs follow the natural direction of hair growth, making the results indistinguishable from your existing hair. This attention to detail contributes to the procedure’s growing popularity among those seeking discreet hair restoration.

Key Benefits of Choosing ARTAS Hair Transplant

Faster Recovery Time and Less Downtime

One of the primary advantages of ARTAS is the reduced recovery time. Patients can typically resume regular activities within a few days, with most reporting only minor redness or swelling. The non-invasive nature of the procedure minimizes complications, making it an ideal choice for those with busy schedules.

The quick recovery also means patients can return to work and social activities sooner without worrying about visible signs of surgery. Compared to traditional hair transplants, ARTAS offers a smoother and more comfortable healing process.

Natural-Looking Results Without Visible Scars

ARTAS ensures that hair follicles are implanted following the natural growth pattern, seamlessly blending with existing hair. The robot’s ability to precisely place grafts eliminates the risk of unnatural hairlines or clumping.

Additionally, the lack of linear scars means patients can wear their hair short without worrying about visible marks. This feature appeals to those who prefer a low-maintenance hairstyle after the procedure.

Comparing ARTAS vs. Traditional Hair Transplant Methods

Several vital differences emerge when comparing ARTAS with traditional hair transplant techniques like Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). ARTAS offers higher precision, faster recovery, and fewer side effects. While FUT involves removing a strip of scalp, resulting in a scar, ARTAS focuses on individual follicle extraction, leaving no visible marks.

Patients who opt for ARTAS benefit from consistent results, thanks to the elimination of human error. The robotic system ensures optimal graft selection and placement, leading to a more natural outcome than manual methods.

What to Expect During and After the Procedure

Preparation Tips Before Your ARTAS Hair Transplant

Our doctor will instruct you on how to prepare before the procedure. This typically involves avoiding blood thinners and alcohol for a few days before surgery. You may also be advised to wash your hair thoroughly on the morning of the procedure to minimize the risk of infection.

The process is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout. Depending on the number of grafts required, the entire session can take several hours.

Post-Procedure Care for Optimal Results

After the procedure, it’s essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your doctor. This usually involves gentle washing and avoiding sun exposure for a few days. Swelling and redness may occur initially, but these symptoms typically subside within a week.

Patients are encouraged to avoid strenuous activities during the first few days to prevent complications. Following your doctor’s guidance ensures faster healing and optimal results from your ARTAS hair transplant.

ARTAS Hair Transplant Cost and Factors That Affect Pricing

The cost of an ARTAS hair transplant varies based on several factors, including the number of grafts required, the clinic’s location, and the surgeon’s experience. While ARTAS may seem more expensive than traditional methods, the long-term benefits and reduced need for follow-up procedures often make it a worthwhile investment.

At Paragon Plastic Surgery, we offer financing options, making the procedure more accessible.

Is ARTAS Right for You? Who Makes the Ideal Candidate?

ARTAS is suitable for individuals experiencing moderate to severe hair loss who want a minimally invasive solution with natural results. The procedure works best for those with healthy donor areas, as the success of the transplant depends on the quality of extracted follicles.

If you are seeking a solution that allows you to return to your routine quickly without visible scars, ARTAS could be the right choice. A consultation will help determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.

Many patients will present with diffuse hair loss or will have insignificant amounts of follicles to transplant and may not be good candidates to restore their hair.  Discussing these surgical and non surgical options to restore your hair with Dr Mark A Bishara will start your journey towards a more youthful you.
Non surgical treatments for hair loss may be recommended by Dr Mark A Bishara to restore your hair.  You may also be recommended to add non-surgical adjuncts to your procedure to restore your hair.  Non surgical adjuncts include platelet rich plasma therapy (or PRP), low level light therapy (LLLT), finasteride pills by mouth, and minoxidil with bimotoprost.
PRP, as seen on both Good Morning America and Good Morning Texas is offered in 1 or 2 areas, and is carried out at the time of a transplant, or without a transplant, and repeated 3 times over 90 days.  Most patients will respond with a response rate of 70-90%.  In fact, some patients respond better than others.  Some providers have chosen to add amniotic and placental products.  At the current time the Paragon Hair Clinic has chosen not to add these products as of summer of 2018 while further safety and efficacy can be determined.
Low level light therapy stimulates hair growth and prevents hair loss in the majority of patients who remain compliant under the Paragon Hair Clinic protocols.  Using sustained light for as little as 6 to 12 minutes every day or every other day for 6 months shows results.  Patients who see results in the hair often experience shedding between 2-6 weeks which is normal and should not be alarming.  LLLT has been tested in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled method and increases hair mass in most patients between 6 and 10 months.
Finasteride 1mg per day or 2.5 mg every other day can also stimulate hair mass in the crown and posterior mid scalp but is less effective on the hair line.  Finasteride has been known to cause decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and gynecomastia in small percentages reported by Merck.
Minoxidil is also FDA approved to prevent hair loss.  Bimatoprost has also been used to stimulate eyelash growth and has been used by some opthomologists for hair mass stimulation. Bimatoprost is not used widespread for hair loss prevention because of the expense.  There is only one pharmacy that the Paragon Hair Clinic endorses for the production of a compounded form of Minoxidil 14% with Bimotoprost.
Using these four products together can give a response that is greater than using the individual components to restore your hair..

We know how to unlock the body’s capability to help regrow you own hair.  Taking 4 tubes of  your blood and spinning it at 1900 RPM for 10 minutes to harvest platelet rich plasma and reinject it with tiny needles where your hair is thinning can improve density and help thicken hair in 70-90% of patients.  Three-25 minute treatments performed over 60 days in either one of our offices in 1 or 2 areas will improve density over the ensuing 4-6 months or 2 hair cycles.   Shedding can be a result of stimulating new hair growth that pushes old hair out.
PRP treatments are becoming quite popular now in days, especially for us here at The Paragon Plastic Surgery and Med Spa. With androgenic alopecia becoming a concern to many men and women, PRP has also become a solution for them.

What is PRP?

PRP is short Platelet Rich Plasma, it is one of most recent methods out there for the many types of alopecia. PRP contains growth factors. The way a PRP treatment is done at The Paragon Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we draw blood from the patient. Place the blood in a centrifuge and let it spin for about 10 minutes. Once ready we only draw the platelet rich plasma leaving the red cells behind. PRP is then injected to scalp or area in which we are treating the patient.

Are PRP treatments painful?

PRP treatments can be a bit discomforting for some patients. Here at The Paragon Plastic Surgery and Med Spa we use local anesthetic before we inject PRP into the patients scalp. We make sure the patient is comfortable before we inject the PRP.

Is there any down time for PRP treatments?

The best part of this preventative hair loss method, aside from it being non-surgical is that there is NO DOWNTIME! PRP treatments can take up to an hour to be done but you can resume normal activities right after.

Who can get PRP treatments?

The ideal candidate for PRP treatment are those men and women who have recently discovered hairloss/shedding. Research has shown that PRP can also work for women who have suffered hairloss due to tight braids, and ponytails. PRP is not for people that are completely bald.

Where can i get a PRP treatment done?

The Paragon Plastic Surgery and Med Spa currenty has two offices in Mansfield, TX and Southlake, TX to help accomadate all of our patients. Don’t let more time pass..

Frequently Asked Questions
About The ARTAS Procedure

How does the ARTAS Robotic Procedure work?

The ARTAS Robotic Procedure is a minimally invasive hair restoration solution that leverages digital imaging and precision robotics to harvest healthy grafts for transplantation. Unlike the earlier methods of hair restoration, there is no need for the surgical removal of a band of tissue from the back and sides of the head, no linear scar left after surgery and no need for stitches or staples to close the wound. The benefit is a quick recovery time and the ability to return to normal activities and work sooner.

What is the price of the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant?

Treatment costs will be determined during your consultation with your doctor and depend on the amount of new hair that you desire. Discuss the procedure pricing with your doctor, as some doctors may offer payment options.

Does the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant procedure hurt?

The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant, an outpatient procedure performed in the doctor’s office, requires only a local anesthetic. The patient feels virtually no pain. Some patients can experience minor discomfort and swelling post-procedure, which subsides in one to three days.

How will my hair look after the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant?

The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant provides extremely natural looking results. After the procedure, you are able to wear your hair any length or style with confidence.

How is the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant different than “Hair Plugs”?

Old fashioned “hair plugs” included the harvesting of large patches of hair that resulted in an awkward and unnatural appearance once implanted. In the ARTAS Robotic Procedure, hairs are harvested in their natural groupings and then transplanted individually by your physician. Individual transplantation provides you with the look you desire, including a great looking hairline and a fuller head of hair.

Are ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant results permanent?

Yes. The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant uses your own permanent growing hair, typically from the back of your head, and your physician then implants this hair to the thinning areas of your scalp. As this hair is not susceptible to the conditions that cause male pattern baldness, transplanted hair will last a lifetime.

How long does it take to recover and heal?

Recovery time with the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant is less than with most surgical cosmetic procedures. As there is no surgical incision or stitches required with the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant, healing time is short, and you can usually go back to your daily activities after a day or two. Some doctors schedule a follow up visit the morning after the procedure to examine your scalp and to teach you how to take care of your newly implanted hair.

When will my new hair start to grow?

Transplanted hair grows naturally in phases. New hairs are seen about three months after the procedure, and will continue to increase over the course of a full year. At approximately six months, you will enjoy a noticeable improvement and after a full year, you will see final results.

Should I cut my hair before treatment?

Yes. Trimming your hair in the donor area allows the ARTAS Robotic System to accurately visualize, track and harvest each grouping of hairs. You will receive instructions on having your hair cut shorter in preparation for your ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant.

Will people know I have had a hair transplant procedure?

With the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant, any scarring is minimal and is nearly undetectable. Your new hair grows in gradually, reducing the chance that people will notice the procedure. Your friends and family will comment that you look better, but the results from your hair transplant are subtle and natural.

Will there be visible scarring in the donor area?

Because the ARTAS Robotic System selectively harvests individual hair groupings rather than removing a large area of scalp requiring sutures, there is minimal scarring in the donor area. Hair can be worn fashionably short, or in longer styles, whatever you prefer. You’re not limited by having to cover scarring from strip surgery.

How long does the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant procedure take?

The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant usually takes from four to eight hours as determined by your doctor to achieve your hair restoration goals. You are comfortably seated during the process, and the doctor and staff are there with you to maximize your comfort throughout the procedure.

Before you make a decision, it is important to ask your physician questions about pain, residual side effects and the major differences between the ARTAS® Robotic Procedure and manual follicular unit extraction (FUE).

Be sure to download the list of questions to take to your consultation.

How is the physician involved during my ARTAS Robotic Procedure?

The ARTAS Procedure is performed by a licensed physician and surgical staff that have been properly trained and certified on the ARTAS Robotic System. Your physician is the one who creates the hairline design, sets the parameters for harvesting and manages your personalized treatment plan.

What are the qualifications of the ARTAS technicians you use?

At Restoration Robotics, we certify and train the staff on the ARTAS Robotic System. Restoration Robotics also provides ongoing education and training to keep the staff updated on the latest technology developments.
It is important to confirm with your physician that the individuals you meet with make up the team that will execute your procedure.

Does my ARTAS Robotic Procedure require stitches? Is it painful? Are there any residual side effects like with strip surgery?

  • In strip surgery, a long strip of tissue is surgically removed from the back of your head and stitches are used to sew the scalp back together again. This can leave a visible linear scar and also make the healing process uncomfortable, or even painful.
  • With the ARTAS Procedure, small needles are used to remove thousands of hair follicles from your scalp leaving only small pinpoint incisions. Since the incisions are distributed throughout a broad area, your Donor Area maintains its natural look and the procedure is less detectable. Patients often describe the procedure as virtually pain-free.

What is the difference between the ARTAS Procedure versus manual FUE ?

  • Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, is a labor intensive procedure that is highly dependent on precision and repetition to harvest thousands of healthy hairs for transplantation. When performed manually, the success of the procedure is limited by hand-eye coordination. Because the procedure is tedious and long, the results can be affected by a person’s fatigue.
  • With the ARTAS Procedure, a robot is used to harvest the hair. Robots excel at tasks that require precision, repetition and consistency. Because of the intelligent algorithms and the dissection technique, the robot can harvest hair effectively throughout the procedure. The quality of the first graft is the same as the 500th graft harvested. Robots never get tired.
