The Best Hair Transplant in San Francisco Remains Outside of San Francisco
When it comes to a San Francisco hair transplant, you have many options. However, here’s the best one: get in the car and take a drive down to Foster City. 
It’s only a 25-minute drive after all, and here you will get a better quality hair transplant and it will cost less than in San Francisco. Indeed, we are known as San Francisco’s hair transplant secret.
We are Silicon Valley Hair Institute and our director is Dr Miguel Canales. Dr Canales is a hair transplant expert of many years standing, and he uses the ARTAS robotic method of hair transplantation which is far superior to a manual San Francisco hair transplant for many reasons.
You may know that when you have a manual hair transplant the surgeon will remove a strip of hair from the back of your head. This is what he will use to separate the follicles into what are known as follicular units of up to four hairs, and he will then transplant these individually to the recipient area. Where the strip of hair has been removed there will be a permanent scar when the wound has healed. This means that if you wish to wear your hair short, the scar will be visible. It’s just an unfortunate consequence of a manual hair transplant.
No Visible Scarring with an ARTAS Hair Transplant
However, the ARTAS robot does not remove a strip of hair, so you have no visible scarring. Instead, it harvests follicular units of up to four hairs which just leaves a tiny pin prick which is not visible. The robot then transplants the follicular unit to the recipient site and it exactly matches the angle, elevation, and direction of any existing hair in the site. It also detects exactly where the existing hair is growing and makes the tiny incision next to them without damaging them, so there is less chance of shock loss of the existing hair.
If you need a lot of hair transplanted, a surgeon doing it manually will naturally become tired and that can also create a problem. The robot can work all day and all night, and it will never get tired. There is also less pain and discomfort with the robotic procedure which means that you can go straight back to playing your favourite sport if you wish.
Yet another advantage of the ARTAS robot is that it is easier to harvest follicular units from patients from different racial backgrounds, such as those of African descent with curly hair.
So now you know why you should come to Foster City if you want the best San Francisco hair transplant. Book a free consultation with Dr Canales when he can answer all your questions.
