How much hair can be restored with the ARTAS hair transplant procedure?

ARTAS is another FUE technique that allows for extraction of grafts as follicular units. As such, a session as large as 3-4,000 grafts is theoretically possible, but gets to be challenging with respect to patient comfort and time constraints within one session. In my experience with FUE techniques, more than 2,000 grafts in one session becomes technically demanding for staff and patients alike. We will go up to about 2,500 grafts per session using NeoGraft and occasionally higher.All the best,

6 months ago,Thank you for the question. The ARTAS is a sophisticated robotic machine that makes the harvesting very efficient.  Efficiency decreases procedure time, maximizing the growth of the transplant while minimizing the strain on the patient. The total number harvested by ARTAS robotic FUE, should be close to the numbers obtained with other FUE devices in the appropriate patients.Sincerely,Bernardino Arocha, MD

The same amount of hair can be restored with the artas vs any other FUE procedure in general.  However the Artas has some limitations.  First not every patient is a candidate.  Second, it has a difficult time extracting from the sides of the scalp or areas where the hair grows very superficial.  Third, the punch size used is very big in my opinion (about 1.3mm).  I prefer to do the surgery by hand.
