If you’re getting a hair restoration procedure done, your physician will be using the ARTAS® and/or NeoGraft® device.

Los procedimientos de restauración capilar con ARTAS® y/o NeoGraft® son mínimamente invasivos y están diseñados para ofrecer resultados excelentes. Aunque la mayoría de las personas pueden ser candidatas para el tratamiento, existen ciertos factores que se deben considerar para determinar si eres ideal para este tipo de procedimiento.

Entre ellos se incluyen:

• La cantidad de injertos necesarios para lograr los resultados deseados
• La densidad y calidad del cabello en la zona donante
• La textura del cabello
• El riesgo o potencial de pérdida capilar futura

Tu especialista evaluará estos aspectos y te ayudará a determinar si eres un candidato adecuado para un tratamiento de restauración capilar.

The NeoGraft® hair restoration procedure is minimally invasive, and a viable option for both men and women looking to restore their own living and growing hair with transplantation. 

Traditional hair restoration procedures usually employ a technique known as the strip method, which involves surgically removing a strip from the patient’s scalp (the back of the head) to be used as the donor site. This leaves a permanent linear scar. Follicular Unit Extraction on the other hand, a method used by both ARTAS® and NeoGraft®, harvests individual hair follicles from areas that consist of terminal hair, which are naturally resistant to hair loss. It then implants those grafts at the site of hair loss, where, over time, they will regrow as healthy, fully functioning hair. As a result, this particular hair restoration procedure does not leave a linear scar, is more comfortable, and requires much less recovery time.

FUE significa Extracción de Unidades Foliculares. Es un método avanzado y mínimamente invasivo de trasplante capilar que permite extraer folículos individuales de la parte posterior de la cabeza (zona donante) sin necesidad de bisturí ni suturas, lo que significa que no deja una cicatriz lineal visible.

The physician will be highly involved in making all of the necessary and important decisions, and will be there every step of the way. Certified hair restoration technicians will be the ones who are assisting the physician during the procedure. These technicians all come with more than five years of experience and are recertified annually.

Aunque los precios pueden ser similares, la estructura de costos de los procedimientos con ARTAS® refleja la naturaleza más detallada y precisa de este tipo de tratamiento, en comparación con los realizados mediante la técnica strip.

Esto se debe a que la técnica FUE implica la extracción e implantación individual de folículos, lo cual requiere mayor precisión, tecnología avanzada y experiencia especializada.

For the procedure, the donor area will need to be shaved down with a zero guard in the harvesting area. As such, your treatment provider may advise you to cut your hair in preparation for shaving of the donor site at the start of your procedure. In addition to making this part of the process easier, cutting the hair short will also make for a less noticeable change after you return to your daily routine while the donor site heals and covers with new hair. For patients with longer hair, the donor area can be shaved in a way that it can be disguised by keeping the hair around it long to hide the shaved areas.

No. ARTAS® and/or NeoGraft® hair restoration procedures can be done by just shaving the needed donor area at the back of your scalp.  

Depending on the number of grafts, the treatment can take anywhere from 4-10 hours. The number of treatments will depend on your unique circumstances, but in many cases, just one procedure can be enough to attain desirable results.

Your physician will numb the area with a local anesthesia before beginning the procedure, so you will likely feel minimal discomfort while the hair transplant is being done. Some physicians also offer the option of mild sedation for the duration of the procedure, depending on your preference. Once the numbing wears off and as the grafts heal, you may experience some tenderness and minor swelling post-procedure around the donor site. This is a normal part of the healing process and should subside in a few days. Always be sure to consult with your physician with regards to post-procedure care and pain management.

No result can ever be guaranteed, but the before-and-after photos from previous ARTAS® and/or NeoGraft® patients show that incredible results are very likely. With our certified treatment providers, you can rest assured that you are in very good hands. Your physician will set as realistic expectations as possible and make sure all your questions are answered.

There's typically very little pain or discomfort after the procedure. You may experience a slight amount of drainage for the first day after your procedure, but this is minimal. You must refrain from strenuous activity for two weeks, to ensure you do not cause any harm to the newly implanted grafts. You can expect the newly implanted grafts to be slightly raised in the first week after the procedure. Around three to four days later, they will start to scab over and then possibly shed. Shedding is good and a natural part of the healing process. 

Recovery time after a FUE hair restoration procedure like ARTAS® and/or NeoGraft® is much faster than traditional hair transplants, because there is no incision involved. The newly implanted grafts may feel tender and appear slightly raised at first, but this should subside in one week. You may also see some scabbing, but this should also flake off within a week. Your physician will instruct you on how to properly care for your new grafts, but most patients are able to return to their usual routine within two weeks after completing the procedure.

Immediately after your treatment, the physician will ensure that the new grafts are secure and in their proper position. They will thoroughly rinse the treated areas and a light protective dressing may be applied. You will be given detailed instructions about how to care for the grafts when you go home, including any recommended shampoos, topical antiseptics, or hair care products. Because there is no incision, there is no need to get any sutures removed.
