Foster City Is the Place for a Hair Transplant if You Live in San Mateo (Really)

San Mateo is a WONDERFUL place to live. But – to be honest – it’s a little sleepy and a little out of the way when it comes to technology. There are lots of things that require the latest technology if you really want the best, and one of them is, believe it or not, a hair transplant. Yes, there really is some very advanced technology in use today if you need a hair transplant.

So, if you are looking for San Mateo hair transplant centers, you haven’t got a lot going for you in San Mateo itself. Some residents looking for San Mateo hair transplant centers go North to San Francisco, but if you really want the very latest hi-tech you need to go East – to Foster City.

This is where you will find Silicon Valley Hair Institute which is led by our Dr. Miguel Canales. And you will also find the ARTAS robot.

ARTAS robot? Who he?

It Is Not A “He.” It’s not a “She.” It’s the latest in robotic hair transplantation technology: the ARTAS.

Well, the ARTAS robot is not a “he”, but a highly sophisticated, hi-tech, computerized robot that will provide you with a better hair transplant than any human being can. There are not many ARTAS robots available in the Bay Area, but we do have one here because our Dr. Miguel Canales was instrumental in the creation of this robotic hair transplantation technique!

For ten years, Dr. Canales was the Medical Director of Restoration Robotics, and he led the team that invented and built the first ARTAS robot. Not only that, but he has also been around the world teaching and training other hair transplant surgeons how to use the robot to produce the perfect transplant.

The robot has so many advantages that it is hard to know where to begin. Instead of removing a strip of hair at the back of the head, which is done when you have a manual transplant, the robot harvests tiny groups of one to four hair follicles from different areas of the head and then transplants those into the recipient area. This means that there is no visible scarring whatever, whereas with a manual transplant there is a scar where the strip of hair was removed.

The robot also inserts the follicles at the exact angle, direction, and elevation of any existing hairs in the recipient area – without damaging any of them – so that you get a totally natural aesthetic result. There are other benefits too, such as the fact that it is easier to harvest hair from ethnic minorities with curly hair.

So, if you are looking for San Mateo hair transplantation centers, don’t go North. Go East, to Silicon Valley Hair Institute in Foster City.
