Cosmetic Treatment Recommended By An Expert

About: Hair Transplant is a surgical way to treat baldness, and involves taking out roots from the back of the scalp or the beard or body, and planting them over the bald areas. These roots sprout natural hair that grow. Artas is a semi-robotic way to execute some of the steps of hair transplant. It is a clinically proven and FDA cleared procedure that gives permanent and natural-looking results without leaving any scars.

Process and technology: Artas is an automated way to extract hair roots. It has a robotic arm, which punches circular incisions around the hair follicles, which are then picked up. It works on the basis of optics. The computer measures the angle of the hair growth and adjusts its arm accordingly and punches incisions at regular fixed intervals. The device basically uses a computer algorithm to determine the hair growth pattern, and then uses mechanics to punch holes around the hair. This releases the root from the skin. The doctor or nurse then simply picks up these roots to be used over the bald areas. The patient is seated head down on a head rest. Once the required number of follicles are harvested, the patient is made to lie down on the back and the follicles are inserted in the bald areas. This step is manual.
