Doctor Chaffoo Answers questions and talks about the Artas Hair Restoration Robot

Technological advances have led to minimally invasive hair restoration treatments that achieve substantial results with less downtime and recovery. Artas i-X® Hair Transplant is a robotic hair restoration treatment that selects the healthiest hair follicles for transplantation and removes the individual follicles without damaging surrounding hairs. Patients going through Artas i-X® Hair Transplant avoid lengthy incisions, stitches, and linear scarring that come with past hair restoration techniques.
Approximately 65% of American men will notice some degree of hair thinning by the age of 35 and almost 85% of men experience significant hair loss by the age of 50. While there are numerous causes of balding, from health to environmental factors, most male hair loss cases are due to Androgenic Alopecia or male pattern baldness. Meaning that male hair follicles are predisposed to be sensitive to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and as levels of DHT increase with age, hair increasingly thins, deteriorates, and eventually falls out.

Hair follicles at the sides and back of the head are usually resistant to DHT and are ideal for transplantation due to their genetic predisposition to not fall out. So Artas i-X® hair restoration uses ground-breaking digital imaging and precision robotics to select the healthiest hair follicles for transplantation and ensures that these follicles are not diminished by DHT. Artas i-X® hair transplant technology’s accuracy also ensures that the hair at the donor site remains thick as the surrounding hair follicles are not touched during the process.
