ARTAS®, WHEN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS USED FOR AESTHETIC PURPOSES

We offer a hair transplant technique based on the most advanced technology in the field that is able to create the most natural looking result. This method, called FUE for “Follicular Unit Extraction“, consists of removing healthy follicles and transplanting these hairs, or follicular units, from a donor area to a recipient area.

Even in cases of severe baldness, there remains an area where the density of hair is still sufficient, this area in men is generally located at the back of the head. The FUE technique consists of taking stands of hair and reimplanting them in the areas where it is necessary. This technique effectively stops hair loss and results in a natural looking full head of hair.

Skincare Agency wanted to create a unique space in Paris dedicated to hair implantation and chose to invest in a cutting-edge technology, not often found in France, the ARTAS® robot.

The ARTAS® system has revolutionized the practice of hair transplantation and allows our center to offer our patients the most advanced FUE treatments in Paris.

This high-tech robot assists and guides our practitioners, who are already experienced in hair implantation, at each stage of the procedure (harvesting, micro-incision, implantation).

As soon as the diagnosis is established by our dermatologists, the robot allows us to precisely identify the areas to be treated and to determine objectively the number of grafts to be taken from the donor area and transplanted into the recipient area in order to restore the most natural hair density possible.

The robot also analyzes the donor area to identify and select the most viable hair follicles for transplantation. Guided by the practitioner, it ensures this delicate phase of graft harvesting has a higher survival rate. More precise, more delicate, and more reproducible than manual harvesting, it limits the loss ratio of harvested grafts to 3% instead of the 15% to 20% that would be damaged during a manual harvesting. The technological contribution of the robot makes it possible to extract the grafts more quickly and with less mechanical stress. Thus, the inflammation of the scalp is much more limited, and the healing time is reduced.

The robot then intervenes on the recipient area to create the micro-incisions, preserving the existing follicles and densifying the area. The performance of this technique in this step is crucial. At the same time as the robot makes the micro-incisions, it cauterizes. Thus, it reduces superficial bleeding and limits the formation of crusts after the treatment, making the post-operative period less cumbersome.

Finally, the Artas® robot reduces the entire time of a hair transplant procedure by 20 to 30% and makes it virtually painless. This implant technique is a combination of robotics and artificial intelligence that provides a very precise and minimally invasive hair restoration. It is a true hair restoration that can be performed in less time, and more precisely thanks to ARTAS® algorithms and robotic features. This technique surpasses all other available FUE treatments in the international hair transplant market in terms of accuracy, reproducibility, and aesthetic results.

THE BENEFITS OF ARTAS® ROBOT-ASSISTED HAIR TRANSPLANTS

The ARTAS® system offers state-of-the-art technology to provide the most natural hair transplant possible.

Guided by unique algorithms that intelligently select the best follicles from the donor area, robotically harvesting them and leaving no linear scarring, this method guarantees a uniquely painless, natural, and lasting result.

The robotic function handled by our nurse provides the added benefit of protecting your existing healthy follicles at both the donor and implant sites.

Your graft matrix is not left to chance.

The ARTAS® system digitally maps the recipient sites and implanted grafts in a natural pattern guided by the choice of an implantation style that you and your doctor have previously selected.

Precision, speed, efficiency, and painlessness are the main benefits of a hair transplant assisted by our ARTAS® robot.

The implantation of the grafts is always performed manually, hair by hair, by our experienced practitioners, which again guarantees control of the result and permanent human control of the procedure.

PERSONALIZED SUPPORT FOR A SUCCESSFUL HAIR TRANSPLANT

The process of performing a hair transplant is not a trivial act. It is first and foremost an act of microsurgery that often involves a significant financial investment. It therefore requires personal involvement so that the act takes place in the best conditions before, during and after the treatment itself.

Obviously, this aesthetic medical procedure requires the mobilization of a large team at our center in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. At Skincare Agency, hair transplant procedures involve a team of four people who are there to welcome you, advise you, accompany you throughout the procedure and then follow up on the post-operative treatments that must be performed to guarantee the best result from the transplant.

You will always be greeted at your first appointment by your assigned Personal Beautician who will become your point of contact during the entire procedure.

They will accompany you when you are seen by our hair surgery referral doctor for your required medical consultation.

  • This consultation will allow the doctor to determine if you are eligible for the hair transplant, based on your general health, your medical history, the quality, and density of the primary donor area (located at the back of the skull and on the sides) but also based on the characteristics of the recipient areas.
  • During this medical consultation, the doctor will explain the procedure, including the local anesthesia phase, and will determine with you the hair matrix that can be created according to the characteristics of your face and the proportions of your natural implant and the hairline.

Depending on the number of implants planned, you will be given a detailed estimate that will allow you to make a decision.

This estimate will detail :

  • The price of the complete plan, including the price of the medical consultation,
  • The price of the anesthetic procedures,
  • The price of the implantation according to the number of implants, and the price of the post-operative treatments such as the LED sessions that allowing a faster and healthier healing as well as the PRP sessions intended to energize, nourish, and accelerate the regrowth of the scalp.

Pictures will be taken before and after the procedure in order to complete your personal file and to follow the evolution of the treatment.

On the day of the procedure, you will be greeted early in the morning and taken care of throughout the day by our team. Your Personal Beautician will be at your side to answer your questions and ensure that you have everything you need during the treatment.

Your Personal Beautician will give you a precise list of instructions to follow after the procedure and will explain them to you. They will also organize the post-operative check-up as well as the various LED or PRP sessions to be scheduled in the weeks and months following the procedure.

A hair transplant treatment first requires a medical consultation which will assess your alopecia, determine the most suitable treatment and offer you a precise and personalized budget.

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT HAIR TRANSPLANTS

  • Are the results of a hair transplant permanent?
  • An FUE hair transplant uses healthy follicles taken from the donor site, usually at the back of the head, to revitalize an area affected by baldness. Because the implants come from a healthy growth area that is not affected by male pattern baldness, the results are permanent at the transplant site. However, to maintain the hair ecosystem, it is recommended that a platelet treatment called PRP be performed once a year to nourish and energize the scalp.

  • Will there be scars where the follicles were removed?
  • The follicular units where the hair is harvested are very small and no large part of the scalp will be removed. There will be no visible scarring after this procedure, and you will not be required to keep a certain length to hide anything.

  • How long does a hair transplant take?
  • The entire procedure takes between 4 and 8 hours depending on the size of the transplant. In any case, you should plan to devote a full day to this procedure. The use of the Artas® robot saves time in all stages and brings comfort to the patient.

    For example, the robotic extraction of follicular units takes about two hours for a graft of more than 2,500 grafts, i.e., half the time required for a manual extraction.

  • Is the hair transplant painful?
  • During the various stages of an FUE procedure (extraction and implantation) you will not feel any pain since your scalp will be numbed by a local anesthetic applied at the beginning of the procedure. While the robot is working or the practitioners are intervening, you will not feel any discomfort. In the hours following the procedure, you may feel a slight pain or swelling in the treated area. Dans les heures suivant la procédure, vous pourrez ressentir une légère douleur ou constater un gonflement de la zone traitée. This is due to the inflammation of the scalp caused by the procedure and the beginning of the healing process.

    These discomforts will disappear quickly if you carefully follow the post-operative care procedure in addition to completing the LED therapy sessions that are prescribed.

    Once again, the technological contribution of the Artas® robot, which cauterizes at the time of the micro-incisions, accelerates the healing process, and reduces the effects of discomfort in the days following the procedure.

  • How long after the transplant can we see the results?
  • The first cycle of hair growth is three months. So gradually, you will be able to see the evolution, but the notable improvements are to be measured after six months and the final results after 12 to 18 once the implanted grafts have taken their place and produce hair again.
