Your ARTAS Hair Transplant In San Jose Is In Foster City

The ARTAS robotic hair transplant methodology is the most popular for “follicular unit extraction”. It is popular for many reasons, and it is the hair transplant method of choice for all the “techies” in San Jose. It is true that all those “techies” in San Jose are very clever and can do things that the average human being doesn’t begin to understand, but sadly that doesn’t prevent them from suffering from hair loss in exactly the same way that a large percentage of the American population does.

In fact, the American Hair Loss Association says that two thirds of men will have experienced some hair loss by age 35, while at 50 around 85% will have experienced “significant” thinning.

Scary, certainly, but an ARTAS transplant in San Jose can restore those locks.

Except that an ARTAS transplant in San Jose doesn’t actually take place in San Jose, but in Foster City. This is where you will find Silicon Valley Hair Institute whose director is Miguel Canales who actually led the team that invented the ARTAS robot. For ten years he was Medical Director of Restoration Robotics Inc.

Robotic Hair Transplants For Patients All Over The Bay Area

Today, from his office in Foster City Dr Canales provides robotic hair transplants for patients from all over the Bay Area, and indeed for some who come from further afield to take advantage of his expertise. The ARTAS® Robotic System uses artificial intelligence, 3D treatment planning software, and sophisticated precision robotics to harvest follicular units and create aesthetic personalized recipient sites for follicular unit implantation.

One of the big advantages of the ARTAS system is that it leaves no visible scar on the back of the head. Conventional hair transplantation which is done manually leaves a scar at the back of the head where the hair for transplantation was removed. This means that patients cannot really wear their hair short if they wish to do so because the scar will become apparent. While the robot does remove hair from the site it does not leave a scar that is visible so you can wear your hair in any style that you desire.

The ARTAS transplant system also increases the survival of the harvested follicular units, and transplants the hair at the exact angle, direction, and elevation of existing hair in the recipient site. In addition to that, there is virtually no “down time” and patients can go straight back to work and even play sports the following day.

So if you want an ARTAS transplant in San Jose the answer is to get in the car and come to Foster City. It’s only a 30 minute drive, after all, and Dr Canales offers all patients a completely free consultation.
