More than a “Hair Doctor” in the Bay Area, Though People Call Him That
Calling the best hair transplant specialist in the country a Bay Area “hair doctor” may seem to be a bit insulting, but Dr Miguel Canales who runs Silicon Valley Hair Institute in Foster City understands that the average lay person who is losing his hair might not realize anything more than that is what is happening and so he needs a “Bay Area hair doctor.”
Dr Canales is actually a world-leading expert on hair transplantation, having led the team that invented the ARTAS robotic hair transplant machine which was ten years in development. He was Medical Director at Restoration Robotics during that period, and his name appears on 11 of the critical patents in connection with the ARTAS machine. Subsequently, Dr Canales has trained many of the world’s leading hair transplant surgeons on how to use the ARTAS machine, so he knows more about it than anyone else.
Dr Canales has a passion for restoring people’s hair and along with it their self-image and confidence. It is a fact that many people, especially women, who start to lose their hair also lose their self-confidence, and getting your hair back to the way it used to look does wonders.
Advantages of the ARTAS System
One of the biggest advantages of the robotic hair transplant procedure is that it leaves no linear scar at the back of the head. When hair is transplanted by hand, a strip of hair at the back of the head is removed so that the follicular units can be transplanted to the recipient site. The robotic machine extracts follicular units in small groups of up to four hairs, one at a time, and leaves no scar other than tiny pin pricks which are invisible. This means that if you want to wear your hair short after the procedure you can do so.
Furthermore, the machine can carry on working until the transplant surgery is complete, because it doesn’t get tired and it doesn’t make mistakes. With the best will in the world, working by hand can cause variations in eye/hand co-ordination, but the machine doesn’t have this problem. The machine can also insert the hair follicles so that they exactly match the hair angle, elevation, and direction of pre-existing hair in the recipient site, which gives a natural look. It detects the existing hairs and makes incisions next to them so does not damage them.
So whether you need a Bay Area hair transplant, a Bay Area transplant surgeon, or even a Bay Area “hair doctor”, make an appointment to see Dr Canales. He provides all patients with a free initial consult so call the office now on (650) 638-1226 or email info@siliconvalleyhairinstitute.com.
