ARTAS surgery range from $6 to $12 in the Los Angeles area. Remember ARTAS surgery is just a method is harvesting the grafts. It has nothing to do with transplantation and hair line design which is the most important part (the results that you see).
The cost for an ARTAS procedure will vary according to the practice that offers it. It is simply a tool to perform a type of hair restoration called Follicular Unit Extraction. It has a steep learning curve for the surgeon who operates it, so more established practices which are dedicated to hair restoration surgery will typically charge more than a clinic that does many types of cosmetic surgery and acquires an ARTAS machine, as typically the surgeon will be busy doing some other cosmetic surgery on a different patient in a different room while a technician runs the robot.The bottom line is that the experience and dedication of the surgeon and his staff to the practice and art of hair restoration will be the prime determinant in how you feel about the final results. Hair restoration is no different than any other permanent facial plastic surgical procedure, such as rhinoplasty or a facelift. Like a rhinoplasty, the procedure is difficult to perform when done well, and the results are permanent. The results are directly dependent on the skill, training, and experience of the surgeon, and the quality, experience, and talent of the technicians who will work with the hair follicles.Even though it's a robotic system the results from your procedure will NOT a “plug-and-play” product that is the same anywhere you go as long as the “graft number” remains constant. This makes as much sense as saying every single automobile in the world is exactly the same provided they all have “4 tires.” In hair restoration, there are hundreds of subtleties and nuances that vary from person to person. It is a procedure that brings our patients a great deal of happiness; it restores their confidence, sense of youth and well-being. The cost will of the procedure will also very with how much hair needs to be transplanted, whether or not PRP and/or ACell is used in conjunction with the procedure, whether microneedling of the scalp will be a part of your procedure, whether Hypothermasol with liposomal ATP is used (e.g.: to keep your grafts viable while outside your body) or not, whether a full-time, dedicated team of technicians is used to assist the surgeon or if hired-guns are (e.g.: independent contractors...for instance, google "hair restoration techs" and see how many companies are offering to fly in hair restoration technicians for doctors who want to "add" hair restoration to their growing list of services offered), and a variety of other factors. It usually falls somewhere between $5K and $15K.
