Robotic hair transplantation is a recently developed medical procedure like hair transplantation. Robotic circular incisions are performed on the donor area by a robot operated by means of computerized software and the extracted grafts are harvested by hand from the inside of the robotic equipment. Afterwards, they are planted in the recipient area via a computer assisted program.
Advantages:
- Reducing the number of required medical staff for hair transplantation
Disadvantages:
- More expensive
- Requiring experienced physician for this technology
This technology is very new and is still in the experimental stages.
What is Robotic Hair Transplantation?
Today, robotic hair transplantation is one of the most important aesthetic problems faced by many women and men from different age groups. Hair loss can be caused by various reasons such as genetic factors, aging, hormonal changes or environmental factors. Hair loss can negatively affect a person’s appearance, self-confidence and quality of life. For this reason, an increasing number of people are resorting to hair transplantation procedures. Among these procedures, robotic hair transplantation is considered as an innovation that has attracted great interest in the field of medicine and aesthetic surgery in recent years.
Robotic hair transplantation is a hair restoration method performed using state-of-the-art robotic systems. It helps to achieve more accurate, precise and faster results compared to traditional hair transplantation techniques. Within the scope of the robotic hair transplant procedure, follicles are first collected from areas where hair loss is intense. The collected follicles are then transplanted to balding areas. This process is performed using specially designed robotic devices.
How is Robotic Hair Transplantation Performed?
The head, hair and facial structure of the person to undergo robotic hair transplantation is examined. The hairline is determined using millimetric measurements. Determining the hairline correctly is extremely important for the transplanted hair to display a natural appearance and to achieve the targeted appearance. After the consultation is planned, the hair is shaved and prepared for the hair transplant procedure.
The donor area where the hair follicles, or grafts, will be collected is disinfected and anesthetized with local anesthesia. Meanwhile, patient-specific data is entered into the robotic control screen. Robotic hair transplantation technology must be applied by a specialist and experienced doctor. The doctor should have a good command of current technology and be fully familiar with the technological features of the robot. Thus, it is possible to get the best results from the procedure.
The robot’s optical readers take photos at 300 frames per second. According to the data entered, the healthiest and most suitable roots are harvested from the donor area. At this stage, a margin of error close to zero is targeted. Thanks to its optical reader, the robot can also see the angle of the root under the skin. Thus, it may be possible to collect healthy hair follicles in accordance with the direction of origin with zero error without damaging, breaking and damaging the roots on the sides. If the donor area is suitable, 2000 to 2500 roots can be collected in one session.
The hair follicles are meticulously collected, quickly cleaned and placed in a special solution. In order for the hair follicles to attach to the transplanted area quickly and healthily, it must be ensured that they maintain their vitality. For this, a specialized and experienced team should be worked with. In the robotic hair transplantation procedure, root collection takes about 2 hours.
Before opening the hair transplantation channels, the area is sterilized and local anesthesia is applied to numb the area. The head and the area to be transplanted are photographed. The images are projected on the robot’s control screen in 3D. The precision canal openers in the robot, which move with millimeter measurements, open micro channels in the area where hair transplantation will be performed, in the number determined by the doctor and in accordance with the natural growth direction of the hair.
Since the micro channels are extremely small, the scalp heals within a few days following the transplantation procedure. After a week at most, there will be no trace of the procedure. The procedure lasts about an hour and it is possible to open 2 to 3 thousand channels in one session.
What are the Advantages of Robotic Hair Transplantation?
The state-of-the-art robot used in the robotic hair transplant procedure plans three-dimensionally how many roots will be transplanted in which area to achieve the most efficient results, at what angle and in which area the channels where the roots will be placed will be opened, and even how many roots will be transplanted per 1 square centimeter. The hair transplantation process is shaped within the framework of this planning. The transplanted hair grows and thickens in a natural way that cannot be distinguished from one’s own hair.
Since the robotic optical reader can also see the root tips under the skin, it collects healthy hair follicles with a margin of error close to zero error in accordance with the direction of origin, without damaging, breaking and damaging the roots on the sides. By using the Sapphire FUE hair transplantation technique, optimum benefit from robotic hair transplantation is achieved.
The robot’s sensitive channel openers move with millimeter measurements. In the area where hair transplantation will be performed; micro channels are opened in the number determined by the doctor and according to the direction of hair growth. The fact that the channels opened are very small brings along a fast healing process.
Since the micro channels are opened according to the natural growth direction of the hairs, the transplanted hairs adhere to the scalp more strongly and it is possible to achieve a natural appearance.
Thanks to robotic hair transplantation technology, micro channels can be opened more frequently in the area to be transplanted. Thus, hair follicles can be transplanted closer to each other. If the hair follicles are transplanted more frequently and in accordance with the direction of growth, a more voluminous and natural appearance can be achieved.
What are the Features of Robotic Hair Transplantation?
Robotic hair transplantation is a process supported by technological tools. The hair model is determined by the robot. Likewise, details such as hair transplantation method, thickness, direction, shape and amount are also decided by the robot. The margin of error of the robotic hair transplantation method is extremely low compared to other hair transplantation methods. It is a method that allows to get the highest yield from healthy hair. There is no damage to the existing hair of the person during the application.
The recovery period after robotic hair transplantation is shorter. Accordingly, the person’s return to normal life is also faster. People who prefer robotic hair transplantation do not face any problems, side effects or allergies. Since all calculations are made with robotic tools, human errors are not possible.
As personalized studies are carried out in robotic hair transplantation treatment, every area from design to the application process is planned individually. It is not possible to perform the same procedures for everyone.
How Long Does Robotic Hair Transplantation Take?
Although the duration of robotic hair transplantation varies depending on the individual, it is usually completed in 2 sessions. A single session usually takes 6 to 8 hours and it is possible to state that robotic hair transplantation takes less time than other hair transplantation methods.
The application area should be protected for the first 48 hours after robotic hair transplantation. Unless otherwise stated, the hair is not washed for the first 2 days and bandages are not removed if bandages are applied. To prevent edema formation, plenty of water should be consumed in the early period. Gently applying a cold compress to the area can also prevent edema formation.
The first washing process should be performed by specialists. In addition, shampoos specially formulated for this process should be used instead of normal shampoos. Hair care should be thorough and the area should always be kept sterile.
Robotic Hair Transplant Prices
Robotic hair transplant prices may vary depending on the hair transplant method, the number of grafts, the experience of the doctor, the technology used and the location of the clinic. Each factor can be counted among the important factors affecting the total cost. For example, different hair transplantation methods such as FUE or DHI may have different price ranges depending on the technological level of the equipment used and the doctor’s specialization. Also, the number of grafts has a direct impact on the cost; more grafts usually means a higher fee. It is difficult to specify a clear price. Because factors such as personalized treatment plans and individual needs, the patient’s hair loss status and goals are among the important factors affecting prices.
