If You Want a Robotic Hair Transplant, It Still Requires a Surgeon to Operate It

When you have a hair transplant in the Bay Area it may well be carried out by a machine, which is known as the ARTAS robot. However, it still needs a person in order to program and operate it, and it follows that you need one of the best Bay Area hair transplant doctors to be in charge.

At Silicon Valley Hair Institute, our director is Dr. Miguel Canales, and he is without doubt one of the best Bay Area hair transplant doctors. When it comes to the ARTAS robot he is certainly the best. That may seem to be a bold claim, but the simple fact is that Dr. Canales was for ten years the Medical Director of Restoration Robotics Inc., and during that time he was the head of the team that invented and produced the ARTAS robot, so it is fair to say that he knows more about it than almost anyone else. Indeed, he has been around the world training other hair transplant doctors in the use of the robot, so you could not possibly be in better hands. In fact, we are really lucky to have him right here in the Bay Area.

You Need To Discuss All Your Options

However, when you are looking for a hair transplant in the Bay Area you need to discuss all your options and that requires a trained specialist who can answer your questions, because doubtless you will have many. Dr Canales offers all patients a completely free, no obligation, consult when he can evaluate the condition of your hair and advise you on the most appropriate treatment. This may, or may not, be a robotic hair transplant.

There are certain distinct advantages to a robotic hair transplant, one of which is that the robot leaves no visible scar after the procedure. When you have a manual hair transplant, the surgeon will remove a strip of hair from the back of your head which is then divided up into what are called follicular units of between one and four hairs. These are then transplanted one by one into the recipient area.

A robotic transplant doesn’t work like that. What it does is to scan your head digitally and select follicular units of up to four hairs in different positions around the side and back of the head and then removes these individually using a tiny punch which is only 1mm wide. This leaves no visible scar at all.
