An AI Robotic Hair Transplant is Possible Today in San Francisco, San Jose or Elsewhere
If you are thinking of having a hair transplant in San Francisco you may have come across the letters FUE. What it stands for is Follicular Unit Extraction and it’s just a fancy way of saying let a robot do some of the work in a hair transplant.
In short, a hair follicle is a part of the skin which grows a hair. You could think of it as a root of a plant. When you have a hair transplant the follicles are “harvested” and transplanted to the recipient site. When a robot is used to carry out the harvesting it does so in follicular units of up to four hairs – hence follicular unit extraction, or FUE for short.
Now, if you are considering an FUE hair transplant in San Francisco you need to come down to Foster City where you will find Silicon Valley Hair Institute which is the #1 FUE hair transplant clinic in the Bay Area. Yes, yes, we know. You’re thinking “Well, they would say that, wouldn’t they?”
We Can Prove It
However, we can prove it. Silicon Valley Hair Institute is run by Dr Miguel Canales and he knows more about an FUE hair transplant in San Francisco – or anywhere for that matter – than anyone else does. You see, he was in charge of the team that INVENTED follicular unit extraction.
For ten years Dr Canales was Medical Director of Restoration Robotics, who are the manufacturers of the ARTAS robotic hair transplant machine, and it was he and his team who invented it and built the prototype. Dr Canales has been around the world training other hair transplant surgeons how to use the ARTAS machine, so he knows more about it than anyone. That’s how we can lay claim to being the #1 FUE hair transplant clinic in the Bay Area.
There are several major advantages to an FUE hair transplant, not the least of which is that there is no visible scarring left behind after the treatment. When you have a manual hair transplant the surgeon removes a strip of healthy hair at the back of your head to use for the transplants. The ARTAS machine doesn’t do this: it simply leaves minute white dots which for all practical purposes are invisible.
There is much less down time with the ARTAS procedure. You can go back to doing any normal activities such as playing sports within a day or so of the treatment.
Dr Canales provides all patients with a free consult, so if you are considering an FUE hair transplant in San Francisco, make an appointment to see him so that he can answer all your questions.
