THE ARTAS PROCEDURE

During the ARTAS Procedure, your physician will use the ARTAS Harvesting System which precisely and gently dissects grafts thousands of times in a single session. The ARTAS High-Definition Stereoscopic Vision System identifies the optimal grafts to remove. Because the procedure is performed robotically, it offers high quality visualization and precise dissection from the first to the last graft.

Customized, Natural-looking Hairline Design
Once the hair follicles are harvested, the ARTAS System precisely creates new recipient sites based on the physician's prescribed hairline design for the patient, using ARTAS's patented Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.

Intelligent, Efficient Implantation

Depending on the patient, procedure and device model, your physician can use the ARTAS system to simultaneously make recipient sites and implant the harvested hair grafts. The proprietary AI algorithm is designed to protect existing terminal hair while creating natural-looking aesthetic result.

FUE

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant is a modern and precise hair transplant technique that involves extracting follicular units (a group of 1 to 4 hairs) from the donor area (generally the nape or temples) and transplanting them into the recipient area (generally the thinning or balding area).

 

Here are the general steps of the FUE transplant process:

 

  1. Preparation: Before the procedure, the doctor examines the donor and recipient areas to determine the number of follicular units needed and the best extraction method.
  2. Extraction of follicular units: The doctor uses a special needle to extract the follicular units from the donor area. This step is typically performed under local anesthesia to minimize pain.
  3. Preparation of follicular units: The extracted follicular units are then sorted and prepared for transplantation.
  4. Transplantation of follicular units: The doctor uses a fine needle to make micro-incisions in the recipient area and insert the follicular units. This step is performed with great precision to ensure a natural result.
  5. Postoperative care: After the procedure, the patient is usually instructed to take care of the recipient area to ensure proper healing and promote the growth of new hair. Patients can expect to see final results after about 6 to 12 months.

 

Advantages

 

  1. Less invasive: The FUE transplant is considered less invasive than other hair transplant techniques, as it only requires micro-incisions to implant the follicular units, reducing the risks of complications and scarring.
  2. Natural results: The FUE transplant creates a natural result by precisely transplanting the follicular units and respecting the direction and angle of growth of existing hair.
  3. Shorter recovery time: The FUE transplant typically requires a shorter recovery time than other hair transplant techniques, as it does not involve sutures or bandages. Patients can generally return to normal activities in the days following the procedure.

The STRIP GRAFT

is a surgical technique used to treat baldness in men. It involves removing a strip of scalp with hair follicles from the donor area (usually the top and back of the scalp) and transplanting these follicles into the treated area (usually the top of the scalp).

The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and lasts about 4 to 6 hours. After the procedure, there may be temporary pain, bruising, and bleeding, but these side effects should disappear within the following days. You have to wait 3 to 4 months to see the first results of the hair transplant and several months to see the final results.

 

What are the advantages of the STRIP Graft?

 

There are several advantages to the STRIP hair transplant technique:

 

The results are natural: The transplanted hair comes from the person's own donor area, so it has the same texture, color, and direction as the existing hair.

 

The procedure is reliable: The technique is widely used and well established, with high success rates.

 

A large amount of hair can be transplanted: The technique allows for a large number of hairs to be transplanted in one session, which results in significant results.

 

The donor area is easy to harvest: The donor area is usually located on the top and back of the scalp, it is an easy area to harvest.

 

Healing is fast: The donor area generally heals within a few days, bruises and pain are temporary.

 

The graft is permanent: The transplanted hair has the ability to grow normally for life.

It should be noted that this technique is not suitable for all cases of baldness, a consultation with a specialist is recommended to know if this technique is suitable for your case.

The DHT Hair Transplant

DHT Hair Transplant (hair transplant by inhibiting dihydrotestosterone) is a surgical technique used to treat baldness. It involves harvesting healthy hair follicles from the donor area (often the back of the head) and implanting them into the recipient area (the balding area). The process is performed under local anesthesia and can last from 4 to 8 hours. Before the surgery, the doctor performs a consultation to evaluate hair density, hair quality, and the patient's overall health. They may also use tools such as photos and scans to plan the procedure. During the surgery, hair follicles are harvested from the donor area using a technique called "micro-grafting" or "FUE" (follicular unit extraction). These units are then transplanted into the recipient area using a needle or a special transplant instrument. After the surgery, it is normal to experience some pain, bruises, and temporary swelling, but these symptoms should disappear within a few days. Final results may take up to a year to be visible. What are the 3 advantages of the DHT Hair Transplant surgery Natural results: DHT hair transplant allows for the natural appearance of hair to be reproduced by transplanting individual hair follicles from the donor area to the recipient area. This can give the impression that hair has regrown naturally. Effective treatment for baldness: DHT hair transplant is an effective treatment for baldness, particularly for men with androgenetic (hereditary) hair loss. It can restore hair density and improve the overall appearance of the balding area. Few disadvantages and risks: DHT hair transplant is generally well tolerated and carries few health risks. Complications are rare and temporary side effects, such as swelling and bruises, are generally minor.

DHI Hair Transplant

(Direct Hair Implantation) is a hair transplant technique that involves directly implanting hair follicles into the treated area. This technique is considered more precise and less invasive than traditional hair transplant techniques, as it does not use a scalpel or leave scarring. The steps of the DHI procedure are as follows: Harvesting hair follicles: Hair follicles are harvested from the donor area (typically the back of the head) using a technique called "micro-grafting". Preparing hair follicles: The hair follicles are then prepared for implantation by placing them in a special nutrient solution. Implanting hair follicles: The hair follicles are then implanted into the treated area using a very fine needle called a "choi pen", which is inserted directly into the scalp at a precise angle and depth for a natural result. The procedure typically lasts from 4 to 8 hours, depending on the amount of hair being implanted. Patients can resume normal activities within 2 to 3 days after the procedure. Final results are usually visible after 3 to 4 months. What are the 3 advantages of DHI Hair Transplant? DHI hair transplant offers several advantages over traditional hair transplant techniques, here are the 3 main advantages: Precision: DHI hair transplant allows for precise implantation of the hair follicles, leading to more natural and aesthetically pleasing results. Less invasive: DHI hair transplant does not require incisions or sutures, and is therefore considered less invasive than traditional techniques that use a scalpel to make an incision. Shorter recovery time: As DHI hair transplant is less invasive, it typically requires less recovery time for patients. Patients can resume normal activities within 2 to 3 days after the procedure.
