Robotized Artas Graft
Getting through the maze.
Several tools and techniques are now at our disposal to permanently treat baldness. However, it’s difficult to determine which approach works best due to variables such as degrees of baldness, hair types, budget, etc., and also to clearly understand all these technologies.
In addition, due to increasing competitiveness, several clinics offer, without any discernment or selection, one or another “revolutionary” way to resolve hair loss. One of the primary qualities of a scalp surgeon is to be able to offer the patient the technique that best suits him in terms of outcome and budget. Still, the surgeon must be able to perform all of the different techniques.
We must remember that the ultimate goal is to replenish an area of baldness. There is no single technique to fully meet this goal in all patients suffering from hair loss, that is to say achieve a satisfactory volume of hair while maintaining a natural appearance.
Unfortunately, the information transmitted through the media, and by some physicians, now puts more emphasis on the harvesting method than on the results of the transplant, which often translates into steadily decreasing levels of satisfaction.
“I may not have a linear scar,”
which in any case is never visible unless the head is entirely shaved,
“but I'm not happy with the volume the graft brought, especially when considering the money invested.”
That's what I hear regularly in my office.
And that’s why it’s important to demystify the subject and inform the population on the real issues surrounding hair transplant techniques.
