Hair transplantation with the use of the ARTAS hair transplant robot<\/strong>? Or a manual FUE hair follicle transplantation procedure<\/strong> performed by a top-class surgeon?
\nPeople struggling with hair loss and interested in hair transplantation are increasingly confronted with information appearing in the media about the automation of the transplant process using a device called ARTAS.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Is the robotization of this process really a positive situation for the patient?<\/li>\n
  2. Should a patient be happy that a procedure on their head may be performed by an automated, algorithmic machine?<\/li>\n
  3. Are hair transplants procedures of the highest aesthetic value? Or are they becoming a kind of \u201cproduction line\u201d \u2013 thickening impersonal surfaces?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Current robotic systems (including the ARTAS robot<\/strong>) impose many limitations on patients. It is worth noting that the ARTAS robot is licensed only to harvest follicular units from the scalps of men who are dark brunettes or brown-haired, and only from those who have straight hair.
    \nAs a consequence, men with blonde, red, or gray hair are forced to dye their hair first in order for the system to work properly.<\/p>\n

    However, we know that even among patients with dark hair, many grafts differ in shade and structure. In such cases, the risk of errors and the destruction of healthy grafts during an automated procedure is high.<\/p>\n

    Moreover, hair transplantation with the ARTAS robot<\/strong> is highly problematic in the case of curly hair. Patients are usually advised to undergo the manual FUE hair transplant method<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n

    Another common misconception is that the ARTAS robot performs the entire hair transplant<\/strong>, eliminating the presence of the doctor and medical staff. In reality, ARTAS is only a tool supporting the surgeon\u2019s work. The machine performs only the follicle extraction process and prepares the recipient sites for future grafts. The rest of the procedure is carried out just like in other transplants \u2013 using the FUE method.<\/p>\n

    As Dr. Piotr Turkowski, MD, PhD<\/strong>, emphasizes \u2013 the key to the highest quality transplant are above all the following tasks:<\/p>\n
