About the ARTAS Procedure
The ARTAS System was developed with leading hair transplant physicians and researchers. The system utilizes state-of-the-art robotic technology to assist physicians with difficult, manual methods that require repetitive and precise movements which can increase the risk of human error.
It is a clinically proven, permanent solution that provides natural results without stitches, staples, linear scarring and damage to existing hair.
THE RESULT? Precise, accurate graft dissection and placement so the procedure is virtually undetectable. Patients can expect natural-looking results without the side effects and long recovery times typical of traditional procedures.

ARTAS Procedure Overview
The ARTAS System utilizes state-of-the-art robotic and artificial intelligence (AI) technology to deliver precise, minimally-invasive permanent hair restoration results while reducing the risk of human error.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR HAIR LOSS AND THE ARTAS ROBOTIC PROCEDURE
Deciding to have a hair restoration procedure can be a life-changing decision. Understanding the details of the ARTAS Robotic Procedure will help you determine if it’s the right choice for you. You need to know what to expect before, during and after the procedure, as well as when you should see results.

WHAT ARE YOUR TREATMENT OPTIONS
Hair restoration requires precise, tedious, monotonous movements thousands of times for a single procedure. It’s important to research your options, currently there are three main procedure methods for hair transplant:
- ARTAS Robotic Hair Restoration Procedure
- Minimally Invasive Hair Restoration Solution
- Leverages Digital Imaging and Robotic Precision to Harvest Healthy Grafts
- No Need for the Surgical Removal of a Band of Tissue From the Back and Sides of Head
- No Linear Scar, No Need for Stitches or Staples to Close the Wound
- Minimal Recovery Time and the Ability to Return to Normal Activities
- Manual FUE
- Physician Uses Hand-Held Tools to Manually Punch Out Hair Grafts
- Relies Heavily on Physician or Technician’s Hand-Eye Coordination and Their Ability to Remove Thousands of Grafts
- Tedious and Extremely Demanding
- Strip Surgery or Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT)
- Physician Makes a Large Incision on the Back of the Head to Remove a 6 to 10 inches Strip of the Scalp
- Clinicians Remove Hair Follicles From the Strip and Implant in Balding Area
- Strip Surgery Leaves a Permanent Linear Scar Which is Visible Long After Surgery
- Patients Often Experience Lingering Scalp Numbness, Tingling, Tightness and Pain
- Side Effects May Include: Numbness and Tingling, Scalp Tightness or Lingering Pain
Strip Surgery vs ARTAS
Not Artas Procedure
Leaves linear scar
Post Artas Procedure
No large painful scars
