The Precision Of Artas

What are the benefits of ARTAS?iX?

Gaining FDA approval in 2011, ARTAS has become one of the most advanced hair restoration techniques in the world. ARTAS iX is FDA approved for men with straight, dark hair. And the process could not be simpler or more comfortable! With the patient comfortably seated, the system digitally maps their scalp. It then uses AI mapping to analyze the healthiest follicular units to harvest for transplantation. ARTAS is not a handheld device but rather an automated machine that robotically transplants healthy grafts to thinning areas.

This all-in-one system calibrates to the unique area of your head before calculating a personalized approach. The ARTAS System uses a robotic arm to extract healthy follicles from donor areas before placing them in balding areas at equal depths and distances. Because ARTAS is almost completely automated, the room for error is decreased significantly. With ARTAS, you can see a fuller head of hair with a shorter procedure. The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant is the only FDA-cleared robotic hair transplant procedure that allows men to wear short hair.

Ideal Candidates

Am I a candidate for ARTAS?iX?

Most people with hair loss can undergo an ARTAS hair restoration procedure. However, there are some exceptions. Dr. Core will only recommend FUE if it is right for you. FUE may not be a good fit in the following circumstances.

  • Donor area hair is unsuitable for transplantation
  • You have a condition like alopecia areata (an autoimmune disease)
  • You have extensive scarring on your scalp
  • You have a serious health condition that could affect the results

The best candidates for ARTAS are men with healthy hair in both the donor area and the areas surrounding the hair loss. It is important to have realistic expectations before you choose FUE. That’s why Dr. Core meets with every patient beforehand to get a better idea of their goals.

A Core Advantage

Your ARTAS iX Procedure

Before the ARTAS procedure begins, Dr. Core will administer topical anesthesia to your scalp for your comfort. Depending on the number of follicular units extracted, prepared, and re-implanted into the scalp, the procedure will take six to eight hours to complete. Some procedures may take longer if you are addressing extensive hair loss. Dr. Core will ensure you are comfortable and have everything you need before he starts.

Once the topical anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. Core will configure the system's robotic removal process to the correct specifications for your hair and begin the extraction program. The AI-guided robotic arm will then find healthy follicular units and harvest them. The individual grafts are then prepared and reimplanted into the area of hair loss over several hours. As this process is automated, it is both extremely accurate and extremely reliable!

Artistry & Skill

ARTAS iX Results

In a few weeks, you will see the grafted hair shed, but there is no need to worry – this is part of the process. The grafted hair has awakened the hair follicle it was placed into. Over a period of two to three months, the follicles will start to produce their own terminal hair, and a restored head of hair will be the result. Most patients will see their final results between 6 and 12 months after their procedure once their hair has had ample time to grow.

The Future Is Near

ARTAS iX Recovery and Aftercare

After your procedure is complete, you will be able to leave immediately afterward. In the first few days, your scalp will be tender, and you may see localized redness and swelling in both the donor and recipient areas. Dr. Core provides pain medication and antibiotics as required to aid your recovery process. Using some caution and common sense, you can return to most of your daily activities in the days that follow. Please follow Dr. Core’s written guidance on how to bathe, how to sleep, and when to resume exercise, as there will be some limitations to ensure you get the best results possible.
