Now You Can Get a Free Virtual Consultation About Your Hair Transplant
If you live in the Bay Area and have thinning hair and/or bald patches, you are not alone. It is thought that around 50% of men over 50 have some degree of hair loss, although it can start much earlier than that. Furthermore, around 40% of people who have hair loss are women, so the fact is that it can affect almost anyone.
Now it is also a fact that people react to hair loss in different ways. Some people, mostly men, just shrug their shoulders and get on with life, accepting it as “just one of those things”. Unfortunately, hair loss can also make many people feel embarrassed, believe that they look older than they are, and generally feel uncomfortable about it. If you fall into the latter category, which many hair loss sufferers do, then today you can take some action about it.
A hair transplant can make a huge difference to your appearance and to your life. This can be carried out manually by the surgeon or, today, we also have the ARTAS robot for carrying out a hair transplant. At Silicon Valley Hair Institute, we are one of the few places in California that provides the robot, so if you are thinking of an ARTAS Bay Area hair transplant, we can help.
The ARTAS Transplant Has Many Advantages
There are many advantages to an ARTAS Bay Area hair transplant when compared with a manual transplant. Our Dr Miguel Canales was the Medical Director of Restoration Robotics, the company which manufactures the ARTAS robot, for ten years, and was in charge of the team which invented it in the first place. His name is on eleven of the patents it has. So you could say that he is better placed to provide an ARTAS transplant than anyone else.
Not the least of the advantages is that the ARTAS robot is more accurate than a surgeon transplanting manually could ever be. Instead of cutting out a strip of hair at the back of your head – which leaves a permanent scar – the robot harvests hair follicles in groups of up to four one at a time and inserts them into the recipient area at exactly the same angle, direction, and elevation of existing hairs in the area. It also does it with minimal damage to those hairs, inserting the transplanted follicles next to them. In addition, it leaves absolutely no visible scarring in the donor area.
Furthermore, a surgeon carrying out a manual transplant can begin to tire, whereas the robot can carry on happily for as long as it is wanted.
There are lots of other benefits of an ARTAS Bay Area transplant, which Dr Canales can explain to you.
