The hair restoration robot

Restoration Robotics' ARTAS System is equipped with a set of dermal punches used to set a hole in a patient's scalp for real-hair implants. The hair "creates its own blood supply... and is the only permanent solution." The ARTAS is a robotic hair implant machine that uses a variety of imaging sensors to assist in the procedure. In particular, the system can identify individual hair "units" for harvesting and re-implanting where needed. The ARTAS breaks through many limits that physicians face during surgery. The best part, what the ARTAS does leave no scars and the areas it effects, rapidly heal. As of recent, the ARTAS passed FDA approval for in-office usage. Restoration Robotics also boasts that the procedure can help grow new follicles in the areas worked on. I foresee someday soon, we could just stick our heads into a machine, and pull it out with lush, long, flowing hair. Until then, enjoy the punches ARTAS administers.

  • Hi E,

     

    Long time no post.

    I always enjoy the adds for hair restoration.  Personally, I just let nature take its course.

    I used to say that it was a race to see if my hair fell out before it turned white.  My brother said he had a tie as half his hair fell out and the other half is all white.

     

    There is no way I would let a machine punch holes in my scalp.  There is always that slim possibility that it would not know when to stop.

     

    I guess it is like golf.  If you throw enough money at it, you might think you are getting better.
