Maxim Chumak, MD

I've had some hair thinning on the crown area of my head for a few years now and was looking for a viable solution for hair restoration. I researched several different procedures and came across the ARTAS Robotic Hair procedure. Originally, I was a little hesitant as this was all new to me. I decided to visit Maxim Medical for a consultation. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I felt much more informed about the procedure and they were willing to answer all questions I had. Afterwards I decided to proceed with the procedure. The actual procedure itself takes roughly most of the day, (sometimes broken up into multiple days depending on the amount of grafts). ARTAS is pretty much painless. You might feel some sharp pinches here and there, but just tell the staff and they’ll re-apply anesthesia to the scalp to numb the pain. It took me about 7-12 days after the procedure for the scabs in the recipient area to fall off. I took a little over a week off from work to recover. It's only been a few months since I had the operation, so it's too early to tell on the results. But I'm optimistic. Overall a good experience.
