ARTAS Robotic Hair Restoration by Dr. Mark A. Bishara, M.D. in Mansfield & Southlake

There are two common ways to treat balding including strip harvesting and follicular unit extraction (FUE).  Strip harvesting is the most commonly used technique right now, and it is an efficient means of harvesting large quantities of follicles.
However, I have stopped offering it as a primary modality for a number of reasons, including patient recovery time and wound morbidity.  It took me six months of training to fully learn FUE.

Benefits of ARTAS System
Robotic technology is used in numerous surgical and diagnostic procedures to improve the efficacy of treatments.  Restoration Robotics has incorporated robotic technology into FUE resulting in the ARTAS system which is the first and only FDA-cleared technology that allows the physician to control the image-guided robot.  I am able to make minor adjustments to dissection depths and angles during the extraction process ensuring my patients receive optimal results.
The ARTAS system also greatly reduces post procedure pain or disomfort as compared to strip-harvesting where patients report a sense of tightness and some degree of numbness for two to three months after a strip harvest.

How the Procedure Works

The patient’s hair is first trimmed before the ARTAS system digitally scans areas of the scalp to identify hair in natural groupings. The selected hair is then precisely harvested using the robot and then transplanted into the thinning areas. These grafts will then grow just like they did before the areas where they are needed to fight balding.
Results will start to show in 3 months and by the 6th month, patients can expect to see noticeable improvements.  The hair will continue to grow and full results will be achieved a year after the treatment.
The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplantation procedure is preferred because of its minimally invasive nature and no need for anesthesia or downtime. This procedure is designed to produce effective results with minimal downtime and no damage to surrounding hair follicles. I will help you determine how to achieve the best possible results.  Please contact our office for more information at (817) 473-2120.

Hair Transplantation- by Dr. Mark Bishara, MD in Mansfield & Southlake

By age 50, about 50% of American men—and a substantial number of women—are affected by hair loss, much of which is hereditary. Patients with severe hair loss may require surgery to restore hair loss and promote new hair growth. Hair Transplantation is designed to produce effective results with minimal downtime and no damage to surrounding hair follicles. Dr. Bishara is highly experienced in performing all of these procedures, and will help you determine which one is right for you in order to achieve the best possible results.Surgical Treatments

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

FUT is a method of hair restoration surgery in which hair is transplanted only as natural, individual follicular units. This ensures that patients will achieve the most natural results and also allows Dr. Bishara to transplant the maximum amount of hair into a small area. These follicular units consist of up to four individual hairs in each follicle. Hair growth typically begins about three months after the FUT procedure.

Total Crown Renewal® (Frechet Triple Flap)

Total Crown Renewal® is the only procedure that effectively treats the entire top and back of the scalp by redistributing 12,000-15,000 hairs over the balding area. This creates a natural appearance even when treating large areas of baldness on the front, top and crown of the head.
This procedure is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Patients usually experience little to no discomfort during this procedure, and can return to their regular activities after three days.

Temporal Peaks Restoration

Temporal Peaks Restoration restores a natural and youthful hairline by recreating the temporal peaks, the areas at the front of the head that are common sites of hair loss. Restoration of hair in this area includes transplantation with proper placement to recreate a natural hairline and restore the patient’s original appearance.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure that moves the patient’s own hair graft by graft to maximize the likelihood of regrowth after it has been transplanted in the balding area. This procedure involves moving the entire follicle with special micro-instruments in order to prevent damage and maintain the health of the hair for optimum results. FUE offers many benefits over traditional hair transplant procedures, including: minimal scarring and discomfort and a quick return to work.

If you are an adult man or woman who has full head of hair you probably haven’t given much thought into hair transplantation. What do you say to a person who is having a hair transplantation? Do you say anything at all or do you wait for them to bring it to your attention before mentioning it?
Nowadays cosmetic procedures are common, well accepted and highly successful. Millions of people have cosmetic procedures done each year for a variety of different reasons. Some people may remove acne scars, or other skin blemishes, to reverse skin again, straighten teeth and realign jaws, to correct facial symmetry, and to restore hair loss to maintain a balanced facial appearance.
Therefore, a suspicion that cosmetic procedures are indications of self-centered vanity can color opinions. It’s an old, outdated belief, and it dies hard. In today’s society societal attitudes encourage people to be in charge of their own physical and psychological health. A 40 year old woman may find it unacceptable when the patchy-diffuse hair loss typical of female pattern androgenetic alopecia begins across her scalp or the appearance of a 40 year old man can be compromised by hair loss. With this being said its not surprising that people who choose to be “in charge” of their physical well-being will also choose to be “in charge” of their physical appearance.
