Description:
Robotic hair transplantation is an advanced method of hair restoration that uses state-of-the-art robotic technology to precisely extract and implant hair follicles. This technique employs a robot-assisted platform equipped with artificial intelligence and image processing software to make the hair transplantation process more efficient and accurate. The robot can automatically identify and selectively extract hair follicles, enhancing precision and reducing the overall duration of the procedure.
Indications:
- Androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss)
- Diffuse hair loss or hair loss due to burns or injuries
- Patients desiring a precise and consistent hair transplant
- Individuals with limited donor areas where accurate extraction is crucial
- Patients who prefer a minimally invasive hair transplant with reduced risk of human error
Procedure:
- Preparation: The patient undergoes a thorough examination to ensure that robotic hair transplantation is suitable. The scalp is cleaned and locally anesthetized to make the procedure pain-free. The area for hair transplantation is marked, and the robot is programmed accordingly.
- Planning and Mapping: The robot scans the patient’s scalp and creates a detailed map of the donor and recipient areas. Using image processing software and artificial intelligence, the robot identifies the best hair follicles for extraction and optimal placement in the recipient area.
- Extraction: The robot performs the extraction of hair follicles from the donor area with high precision. The robot-assisted arms and instruments extract the follicles individually without requiring large incisions, minimizing the risk of scarring and promoting faster healing.
- Implantation: After extraction, the robot precisely places the hair follicles in the recipient area. This precise placement ensures a natural hair growth direction and an aesthetically pleasing result.
- Aftercare: After the procedure, the patient receives instructions on caring for the scalp and transplanted hair follicles. Regular follow-up visits with the doctor are necessary to monitor the healing process and avoid potential complications.
Benefits:
- Increased precision and consistency through the use of robotic technology
- Reduced risk of human error during the procedure
- Minimally invasive method with low scarring risk and faster healing
- More natural appearance and better hair density due to precise follicle placement
- Shorter overall duration of the procedure compared to traditional methods
