ARTAS Hair Transplant in Miami, Florida
The Hair Transplant Institute of Miami has acquired a new ARTAS
robotic system. The device is a physician guided robot which has been
developed to streamline the process of hair transplantation, get more
natural results, reduce patient downtime and increase their comfort
level.
The system is FDA-approved and had been proved to be
effective in restoring hair for several patients suffering from hair
loss giving them a natural look. Previously the process used to be
tedious for both surgeon and patient but now all that is past.
High
resolution imagery provided by the system is used to detect the
orientation of donor hair follicles 50 times every second. Prospective
hair follicles located in the back of head and in the sides which are
genetically immune to hair fall are located by the robotic system.
Leveraging
the highly precise imagery provided by the robotic system surgeons are
able to harvest specific donor follicles without affecting the donor
area on the scalp as well as the hair follicles. A skin tensioner used
on the scalp provides accurate locations of hair follicles so that hair
follicles can be removed in natural groupings to get better results.
This
increases the viability of the hair follicles which can be transplanted
in such a way so that the new hair grows naturally and in full health.
Patients also do not experience bleeding or pain and can resume work
much sooner. A local anesthetic administered by the doctor makes the
process pain free.
The digital imagery capabilities of the ARTAS robotic
system helps create maps of hair groupings called follicular units. The
donor area from where hair will be harvested is trimmed to create the
digital images by the ARTAS Robotic System.
Follicular units are
randomly removed from within the donor area to retain the original look
there. It also uses image guidance, digital visualization, dynamic
adjustment to patient movement and selective harvest pattern during the
harvesting process. The procedure continues till sufficient hair is
extracted.
The removed hair follicles are transplanted into the
bald areas of the scalp, usually on top of head, which will start
growing gradually. ARTAS uses the follicular unit extraction (FUE)
method and hence there is no linear scar on the scalp. This allows
patients to keep their hair short.
According to Dr. Paul Rose the
surgeon in Hair Transplant Institute who is well experienced in the
hair transplantation field, the new robotic technology is a boon for
patients who have tried
other remedies without success. She
assures that although a robot performs the procedure it is entirely
controlled by a qualified surgeon and patients need not worry at all.
A
recipient of many awards, Dr. Rose is also the co-creator of the
Follicular Isolation Technique (FIT) besides also being the inventor of
the ‘ledge’ trichophytic closure procedure.

Frequently asked questions about hair transplant procedures
How much does a hair transplant cost?
Hair transplants can vary in price based off of the area in the world that you are interested in getting a hair transplant as well as the size of the area where you may need a hair transplant. Experienced doctors in the United States will often charge some of the highest prices for a hair transplant worldwide and this is why so many travelers make the move to other parts the world like Turkey, India, Thailand, Mexico...etc for their hair transplants.
Will a hair transplant hurt?
Although hair transplants may look like a particularly
unpleasant or painful experience is actually very little discomfort involved
with the surgery itself. Hair transplants are always done under an anesthetic so there's absolutely zero pain during the treatment itself. Many people actually relate the process as being very similar to going to the dentist for filling or root canal. Mild pain can persist over the course of postop treatment but he generally just resumes for a few days.
Who can deliver the best surgery?
It's usually best to consider working with surgeons who have and IAHRS certification or international alliance of hair restoration surgeons recognition. IAHRS can often deliver recommendations for the best surgeons in each particular area.
Is this scarring noticeable?
Any type of hair transplant will require the use of incisions throughout the scalp. There can also sometimes be a small scar from the donor area towards the back of the scalp. Asking to look at photos of the surgeon's previous work will help you to see roughly how bad the scarring could be. In most cases an experienced professional can limit the look of scarring and noticeable marks from the surgery.
How long does it take for the hair to grow?
In most cases hair growth will start within eight months and you can start to see a full effect from the hair transplant after a full year. The initial signs of growth can usually start between 3 to 4 months after the surgery.
Are the results permanent?
The hair follicles that are transplanted are generally the ones which are genetically resistant against the symptoms of baldness. As long as you receive hair loss treatment later in your life after the symptoms of balding have started to subside, you can have a better chance at permanent results.
While everyone know you've had surgery?
If you want to limit the chance that people may find out about your surgery it's important to give at least three weeks of healing as the surgical area will be affected and red just after surgery. After around a month of healing it can look far less noticeable. You could consider wearing a hat while time passes or opting for some extra time off if possible.
How long should I rest after surgery?
It's recommended to rest for at least a few days after surgery so that your body can recover. Trenton to over exert yourself and limit sexual activity, running in the gym for around 10 days after surgery.
Is it possible to lose more hair as a result of surgery?
There is always a chance of shock loss which happens when the hair is weak and miniaturizing after the surgery. As long as the surgeon is choosing the correct hair follicles and performing the surgery well it's possible to minimize the chance of this happening however.
Will I need another hair transplant?
The need for another transplant really depends on the individual. With a solid foundation surgery and working to potentially bolster results with drug therapy, you can improve the stability of the hair that was transplanted as well as prevent further loss. Getting a hair transplant early
on in your 20s or early on in life could lead to needing long-term transplants as hair loss can be progressive.
