Robot hair transplants are being conducted in the clinic of Dr. Mark A. Bishara.
Documenting the FDA approved research on Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), Dr. Bishara is demonstrating results while generating clinical data.
Using recently developed technology, an interactive computer system called ARTAS employs image guidance for individual hair follicle harvests. FUE, a traditionally labor-intensive process involving repetitive transplants of tissue, now employs the image-guided robotic arm in an extremely precise procedure that reduces scarring and other difficulties of the surgical FUE process.
Highest Quality Results Seen To Date
A computerized robotic arm delivers the highest quality results seen to date in the hair transplant field. Problems such as tightness or numbness of scalp, and painful healing have been minimized. With increased graft survival rates and reduced time spent harvesting follicles, forward progress in the technology of medical science is also being noted.
Image guidance enhancement provided by the ARTAS computer system supports the faster harvesting process likely to replace the strip transplant method that leaves hairline scars. Guided by cameras and 3D imaging software, the robot dissects follicles iat a rate of 1,000 per hour. The carefully tested equipment is maintained for safety and precision.
A Physician Controlled, State Of The Art System
Harvesting the hair follicle during the restoration procedure offers numerous benefits. Precise technology makes dermal punches using a computer interface. The only natural, permanent and now– completely undetectable hair replacement process is  available in this clinically supported, comfortable office environment. Experience less discomfort and much faster healing using a less invasive method.
Using the FUE with the ARTAS, Dr. Bishara moves healthy follicles to bald areas for a surprisingly effective result. The implants begin to develop a blood supply to grow and soon new hair is visible. Within a short time hair is growing and normal appearances have been restored.
Accuracy and Increased Survival Rates
With the robotic FUE using ARTAS accuracy, an decreased harvest time is accomplished. This minimizes general damage for increased new-hair thickness and minimizes damage to the individual follicles in particular. It also enhances graft survival rates. Removed in groups of one to four, Dr. Bishara removes units from the skin and moves and replants them in a process taking one to four hours.
Robot Hair Transplant
Separation of  follicular units from surrounding donor-tissue, is highly repetitive and labor intensive. It requires great precision. For success the action requires perfect centering of a punch over a follicle unit. Perfect alignment of the dissecting instrument over follicles prevents damage. Human variability and error are more common in this manually labor-intensive process. Robotics make things far more precise. Long hours of manual surgical removal in repetition with replanting of follicle units is currently the only other viable treatment options that has slower healing times, higher levels of pain and discomfort and is not as reliable in the end.
Manual FUE procedures require repeated follicle moves hundreds to thousands of times in a typical hair restoration procedure. At publication, Bishara Costmetic Surgery is the only location in Texas this specific robot hair transplant system is being researched, documented clinically and made available for the public by private appointment.
This safer, faster, more productive robot hair-treatment and hair-growth system cannot be equaled from within the medical field. The highest available modern technology can be delivered with this ARTAS system for FUE by robot–the hair transplant with extraction and replanting of hair follicles used because it is effective, non invasive, pain free with limited anesthesia, while showing markedly improved hair growth, thickness and longevity in results.

As many as 50 percent of men will experience some hair loss by the age of 50, and many women also suffer from a genetic predisposition to permanent hair loss. There exist a variety of medications and treatments to halt the progress of hair loss, and a multitude of products designed to conceal or disguise thinning or lost hair, but only a hair transplant can restore hair that has already been lost. As such, many people seeking to regain the appearance and feel of their own hair consider hair transplants. Transplanted hair is in all ways real and natural, because it comes from areas of the patient’s own scalp that are not affected by hair loss; the back and sides of the head of not susceptible to genetic pattern balding. Within a few months of the procedure, the transplanted hair will grow as normal, requiring no special attention or treatment beyond normal hair care. The technology of hair restoration has progressed in recent years, offering patients the precision and ease of a robot hair transplant.
A robot hair transplant is very similar, in principle, to a manual FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) transplant procedure, in which naturally-occurring units of one to four hair follicles are extracted from the donor area of the scalp under local anesthetic. Each follicular unit, about a millimeter in diameter, is then grafted into the areas of the scalp affected by balding. In contrast with other procedures, in which a strip of skin containing follicles is harvested from the scalp whole, and then cut into follicular units, FUE is more precise in its follicle harvesting. Rather than leaving a long, linear scar where the donor tissue was removed, FUE creates much less scarring at the harvest site and less discomfort for the patient, and requires a shorter healing time. However, FUE is a more labor-intensive harvesting process, requiring hours of repetitive labor, keen perception, and careful judgment.
Using the ARTAS System, a robot hair transplant removes the guesswork and potential for human error from the harvesting procedure. Under the control of a physician, the ARTAS System uses cameras and 3-D imaging computer software to guide the robotic arm to perform the graft extraction. The imaging system can recognize individual hair follicles, and the computer uses an algorithm to determine the optimal angle at which to extract them to prevent damage to the follicles as they are removed. Even the most experienced human physician will have an average rate of transection, or cutting through the follicle, of 20-30 percent; the robot hair transplant system reduces the transection rate to an average of 8 percent, resulting in more intact follicles and a more efficient harvesting. The ARTAS System harvests follicular units at a much faster rate than can be done by hand, reducing the length of the procedure, the amount of anesthesia that must be used, and the patient’s discomfort, while shortening the time that the harvested follicular units must be stored before they are transplanted manually by the physician. This ensures that as many follicles as possible survive to take root and grow in the treatment site.
The ARTAS System received clearance from the FDA in 2011, and every physician who operates the system receives special training in its use. Use of the ARTAS robot hair transplant system guarantees a patient the most precise, least invasive, least uncomfortable hair transplant procedure available today by removing human error from the follicle harvesting process. If you are considering a hair restoration procedure, a robot hair transplant can offer you the precision, efficiency, and quick recovery time that your life demands.

Years of effort have failed in your battle against male pattern baldness. Topical creams and “miracle’ pills” have only produced unacceptable results. Your decision to resolve this problem through a hair transplant procedure will yield excellent and immediate results. Modern surgical procedures offer the best hope for a full head of hair that is indistinguishable from a completely natural one. While the process always involves the physical removal and implantation of donor hair from one region to another of your scalp, there are various, progressively more modern, techniques used to achieve this goal.

The ARTAS system approved by FDA on April 14, 2011 only completes one part of the Follicular Unit Extraction Hair Transplant at this time. This is the initial phase where grafts are selected, cut and removed from the tissue. The harvesting and removal of grafts, graft site creation, hair line design and graft placing is still done by the surgical team. In the future, ARTAS system will be capable of performing some of these tasks.
