Robotic Hair Transplants

The ARTAS® Experience

Deciding to have a hair transplant procedure is an important, life-changing decision for any man. It’s important that you understand the details of how the ARTAS® Robotic Procedure will work, what you can expect during the procedure, and when you’ll expect to see results.
The process starts with a thorough, detailed consultation with Dr. Mark Bishara. He will ask about your hair loss history, and how you’d like your hair to look. He will examine your hair loss, and assess the amount of donor hair that you have available for transplant. From there, you’ll learn whether you’re a candidate for the ARTAS Robotic Procedure and what treatment options may be available to you.

Day of Procedure

ARTAS Robotic Procedures start in the morning and usually end in the afternoon. You’ll wear comfortable clothes to the procedure, and possibly a loose-fitting hat for your ride home. Many patients choose to listen to music or watch a movie during the procedure.

During the Procedure

During the ARTAS Robotic Procedure, you’ll be seated and the physician and team will do everything they can to ensure your comfort. A local anesthetic will be used, but you’ll be awake and alert during the procedure. There will be time for breaks during the procedure, so you can have lunch or take care of personal issues.

The ARTASTM System is the first and only advanced Robotic technology which is FDA-approved using computer assisted image guided system for follicular unit extraction (FUE) for natural and consistent results.  Dr. Bishara is now using the ARTAS System in both his Mansfield and Southlake locations.
“When men reach a certain age, male pattern baldness becomes more visible due to genetic sensitivity. Now with ARTAS™ System, they can get the procedures done within hours, without having to undergo long hours of surgery. The procedure is convenient and patients will regain confidence when they see consistent results within six months”, said Dr. Mark A Bishara, M.D.

Old fashioned “hair plugs” results in unnatural-looking hair once implanted. However, with the ARTASTM system, a robotic arm which is controlled digitally, identifies the area on the head that is suitable to be dissected.  It then extracts the hair follicles from there; hence resulting in more natural-looking hair. The ARTAS™ System with its Robotic technology also delivers their patients with a speedy and precise result when they undergo the treatment.

Wes Welker Speaks About Robotic Hair Transplants- by Dr. Mark Bishara, MD

The Denver Broncos receiver had the procedure done prior to last season’s training camp with the Patriots.

No, the Denver Broncos wideout didn’t have surgery on his knee or ankle last summer but a robotic hair transplant procedure at the Rhode Island office of Dr. Robert Leonard.
“[The growth] doesn’t happen right away,” Welker told For The Win. “You start to see a little bit after two or three months and in six months you get to see a little more. Once you get up to a year you’re really starting to see the difference. It takes a full 18 months till it’s fully grown in.”
While plenty of pro athletes wouldn’t want to make such a public admission of cosmetic procedures, Welker has no problem with his role as the president of the NFL’s new de facto hair club for men.
“It’s nothing to be embarrassed about,” he said. “If you want to have hair, have hair. I don’t like to sit there and say ‘What are you talking about? I never got my hair done.” People can notice it without wondering.”
And what of Welker’s former teammate Tom Brady? Brady’s hair has been the center of its transplant speculation.
“You know what – that’s still out for debate. He claims he hasn’t but who knows,” Welker said.
Welker said he’s received calls from numerous other NFL players asking him for his doctor’s number, although he didn’t name any specific current or former teammates. He was equally tight-lipped when asked about the effect that the Aaron Hernandez investigation, Rob Gronkowski injuries and acquisition of Tim Tebow could have on the locker room of his former team, the New England Patriots.
“I hope the best for them but it’s not my concern to worry about them,” Welker said. “I’m just trying to worry about myself.”

Hair Transplants

Typical pattern baldness is something both men and women struggle with and we have our parents and ancestors to thank for it. Your hormones and what’s in your DNA cause baldness. Enzymes in our body react with hormones and cause the follicles in the scalp to shrink and stop growing new hair. Hair on the sides and back of the head isn’t vulnerable to pattern baldness and will typically grow for the duration of a persons life. We use these areas “donor areas” to extract from and move to the top of the head or balding areas “recipient site”. There are two different methods in which donor hair can be harvested: Follicular Unit Transfer (strip harvesting) and Follicular Unit Extraction.

In strip harvesting we take a strip of the scalp from the donor area and then suture the area back together. The strip of scalp is then cut into small pieces of hair follicles that have one to four hairs per graft. Holes are then placed in the recipient area and the grafts are placed in the holes in a natural but random pattern. The patient will be left with almost no visible scar on the back of the head and is typically hard to see once the surrounding hair grows out and conceals it.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a procedure that uses a punch method to extract the hairs from the donor area. The head is first shaven and a local anesthetic is used to numb the head. The FUE surrounds the hair follicle and punches the follicle loose so it can be easily extracted from the head. The small holes left behind start to heal immediately and continue to disappear over the next few days. Tiny holes are then placed in the recipient area using a microscope and the hair follicles are planted.

The scalp takes about 3 to 5 days to heal and you should not attempt to resume normal activities for 48 hours to prevent the transplanted hair from falling out. The majority of the hair shafts in the follicle will fall out, don’t be alarmed. After a few months new hair will begin to grow from the relocated follicles. It takes about two days for the transplanted hair to settle permanently into the recipient sites. Small scabs will develop were the grafts were inserted so do not pick them or it will cause the hair follicle to dislodge. The scabs will fall off within 10-14 days. Re-growth is expected to occur within 3 months. It can take up to 6 to 10 months to see full regrowth.

Hair transplant is a major component of hair restoration. With the supporting medical management using 5% minoxidil (Rogaine) and finesteride (Propecia), 97% of androgenetic hair loss can be stopped and regrowth of hair can be seen in the large majority of these patients. Stop by for a In-Office or Virtual Consultation or visit us via internet consult to see if you are a potential candidate for hair restoration or a hair transplant procedure.
