What to Know: ARTAS Hair Restoration

Understanding the Timeline: From Consultation to Full Results with Artas Hair Restoration

Hair is often an important part of a person's sense of identity, so realizing you’re losing yours isn’t easy. Hair loss can affect your confidence and self-esteem. It can lead to anxiety in social situations and worries that you’re no longer attractive, so looking into hair restoration makes sense.

But not just any solution will do. You want something that’s not only effective but natural-looking – a solution that will allow you to truly step out in confidence again the way you used to.

ARTAS hair restoration leverages advanced surgical techniques, sophisticated algorithms, and cutting-edge robotics technology to turn hair restoration into an exact science. The procedure is minimally invasive and highly precise, leading to incredible results.


But what should a potential ARTAS patient expect from the experience?

New Horizons Center for Cosmetic Surgery can tell you more about whether ARTAS is right for you. In the meantime, here’s a look at the typical ARTAS hair restoration timeline from initial consultation to final results.

Initial Consultation:

When you show up for your appointment with your ARTAS hair specialist, you’ll receive a thorough consultation. The doctor will discuss your goals and expectations and assess your hair loss situation.

If you’re identified as a good candidate for the procedure, the doctor may use ARTAS’s scalp analysis feature to analyze your hair follicles and simulate potential results. An appointment will be scheduled, and you’ll be given preparation instructions to follow.

The ARTAS Procedure:

The ARTAS procedure typically lasts around 5-7 hours, although the actual duration depends on the degree of hair loss and other variables. It’s minimally invasive, and most patients experience very little discomfort. Compassionate staff is present to guide you through the process from start to finish.

The ARTAS harvesting system leverages algorithms and advanced robotics technology to identify and retrieve optimal grafts. Once the grafts are harvested, the ARTAS system refers to your doctor’s recommended hairline design to identify and create ideal transplant sites.
 

Post-Procedure Results

Once the procedure is complete, it’s time to follow your doctor’s care and recovery plan. You’ll experience mild tenderness and redness as your scalp recovers. The transplanted hair will also eventually drop out as part of the healing process, and the regrowth process will begin. Here’s a general rundown of what to expect:

  • Initial hair regrowth typically appears within the first three months. Expect it to be fuzzy and thin at first.
  • During months 4-8, you’ll notice significant progress. Hair growth may still be on the fuzzy side, but the density and length will improve. You’ll also see your new future hairline become visible.
  • During months 9-12, your transplanted hair will start to reach maturity. It’ll become thicker, smoother, and more like the rest of your hair. At this stage, you’ve got a good idea of how your fully restored head of hair will look and feel.

After a year, your new head of hair is fully present. You can style, wash, and cut it just as you used to do.

The results of an ARTAS hair restoration treatment are permanent, and your newly transplanted hair will continue to grow indefinitely. You’ll also likely get your confidence back and feel like yourself again.
