The Artas® Robot: Next Generation Hair Transplantation
New York

The Artas® robot treats all the stages of androgenetic baldness in both men and women.

The robot's fast pace allows up to 900 grafts to be taken per hour and a ‘mega-session’ of 3000 grafts to be completed in one go, compared to only 1800 grafts with manual FUE.

In this way, it allows larger areas to be treated which previously could only be treated in several sessions of manual FUE or only with the FUT method (the strip technique). The main disadvantage of the FUT hair transplant technique is that it leaves a scar on the nape of the neck, meaning that this technique is hardly ever used any more.

3D consultation

Artas® Hair Studio is a tool that creates an interactive 3D hair transplant simulation directly on a photo. The doctor tests different scenarios with the patient and they jointly create a plan for the transplant procedure. Many parameters are taken into account (number of grafts, density, growth and direction of implants, length and color of hair, etc.), which enables the final result to be visualised in a very realistic way.

Automated FUE procedure

The procedure with the Artas® robot is carried out under local anaesthetic as an outpatient procedure, and lasts between four and six hours according to the degree of baldness.

Removing the grafts

The patient must completely shave their head a few days before the automated FUE session.

Thanks to guided imaging coupled with an intelligent algorithm, the robot arm maps the donor area in real time and selects the best hair to collect. Artas® automatically calculates the orientation and angle of each hair follicle while constantly adjusting to the patient’s head movements.

The extraction speed is four to five times faster than manual FUE.

This extreme precision makes the graft removal from the donor area completely undetectable.

An interface allows the doctor to continuously monitor and adjust the sampling parameters (angles, depth and direction of the hair) without interrupting the procedure. The result? More than 90 % of hairs are removed with their bulb, compared to only 50 % on average with the manual method, which enables better growth in terms of quantity and quality.

The algorithm of the Artas® robot shows the number of a follicular units removed. The assistants will then separate the grafts depending on the number of hairs they contain (1 to 4 hairs as the case may be).

Graft implantation

Artas® analyses the quality of hair in the receiving area. When the robot makes little incisions to implant the grafts, it can differentiate between healthy hair and more fragile, lower quality hair. In this way, it can select the areas where the hair is weaker while preserving healthy hair to create the best possible aesthetic result.

Then, the doctor will manually insert the grafts using a fine needle, in accordance with the design created during the consultation with Artas® Hair Studio.

There will be little scars in the areas where the Artas® robot has removed the hair. These tiny lesions will heal completely in less than two days and are completely invisible, even if the patient has very short hair. The scabs on the grafts will fall off after two weeks.

You can continue normal activities after one or two days.

The hair will start growing after four months and the results will be visible from the sixth month, and will be permanent after one year.

After an Artas® procedure, the Miltahead® LED helmet combined with PRP hair treatment have a triple effect:

• Preserve hair bulb stem cells in the donor area and improve the chances of survival of the grafts implanted in the bald area.
• Speed up healing, and reduce redness and irritation on the scalp.
• Boost the growth of the implanted hair.

The rate includes the procedure, a gourmet meal, refreshments and Miltahead® treatment (1 session before and after the operation + 1 session per week for a month).
