Robotic Hair Transplant

ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant iX

Artas Robotic hair restoration is also a variation of the follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique. In this case, however, a robot has been designed to punch the hair out. Essentially, the person is placed in a machine. The robot calculates the correct angle at which the donor’s hair emerges from the skin. The small punch is then advanced with the robot arm to punch the follicular unit out. With the correct angle tabulated, transection rate should be ideally very low. Once the punch has been made, a person, behind the machine, gently removes the graft from the scalp. The robotic arm and rotating punch is used for extraction only and does not implant the removed graft.

The benefits of robotic hair transplant are:

  • Speed of harvest
  • Low graft transection rate

The drawbacks are:

  • Need to shave the donor area
  • Cost (cost of the machine plus a per graft charge)

All other pros and cons as discussed in the FUE section apply to both the Neograft® and Artas robotic hair restoration techniques/methods. Please see page for details.

Dr Bitner and his professional staff were wonderful to work with. I had amazing results with my procedure (hair transplant). They made themselves available every step of the way and made sure I knew what to expect at every interval of the process.
Dr. Bitner was fantastic. Everything was professional and smooth from start to finish. He has the ability to visualize the end result, and make this procedure work for the individual. I love the result!
Highly recommended. The nurse and staff is remarkable as is Dr Bitner. I was extremely impressed with the degree of information they give to prepare you for the procedure. You know exactly what to expect at all times in the process, and are all very available to address questions as they may arise. I was also very impressed with the access I had to Dr Bitner. Very different from surgery I have had at the hands of others before. The procedure went better than expected. Very happy with the outcome.
It has now been six months since my surgery and I am very pleased with the results. My hair is much thicker and fuller than I thought it would be. The hair has grown in gradually which I like so it's not just an overnight change, but when I look at old pictures of myself I can tell a big difference. Very Happy!
After meeting with a number of Doctors, I chose Dr. Bitner to perform my hair transplant. My main concern was how natural it would look. I did not want to have the "wall" of hair up front that I had noticed in many of the recipients photos online and in person that I saw. Dr. Bitner described his technique of mixing in single grafts up front to break up the hairline so that it had more of a natural transition. He is a true artist! I am now one year post surgery and my results are amazing! I wish I would have done it years ago, but I am glad I waited until I found the right Doctor. I highly recommend him to anyone considering this type of procedure!
