Any person acquainted with the intricacies of hair restorations understands the complexity and the attention to minute detailing the procedure demands. The foremost step, hair harvesting or hair extracting, is where Restoration Robotics comes into play. “Our intelligent robotics system, ARTAS allows a highly precise, efficient, and reproducible FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) procedure which is quite revolutionary when compared to this field’s history,” states Ryan Rhodes, CEO of Restoration Robotics. With the micron-level dynamic vision of hair follicles and the projections of follicular root structures during the harvesting, ARTAS measures the graft’s changing parameters during the process 60 times a second, in real-time. The system harvests around 1500 grafts an hour, boasting extensively lower transection rates and therefore a much more efficient, healthy hair harvest than conventional mechanisms.
With an increasing population becoming interested in hair restorations, practitioners are looking for an efficient automation tool that considerably saves both cost and time. Restoration Robotics simplifies the complex hair restoration process for physicians through robotics and offers a seamless user interface. Rhodes names one of many renowned physicians, Robert Bernstein of New York City who has adopted the ARTAS system for his practice. He experienced such substantial success with the instrument that he even published a paper on the subject.
Restoration Robotics has completely transformed the tedious hair harvesting process of the hair restoration workflow. However, the company aims bigger. Restoration Robotics is close to extending its robotics system’s capabilities to the next level— implantation of harvested grafts in the patient’s recipient area. This would enable the company to model a full 3D pre-operative plan of the process and automate the entire hair restoration procedure—harvesting and implantation—through robotics.
