Treatment Overview
The ARTAS Female Robotic Hair Transplant is an advanced solution for women experiencing hair thinning or patterned hair loss. Unlike male baldness, female hair loss typically involves diffuse thinning across the top and crown while maintaining the frontal hairline.
Using the ARTAS robotic system, Korean surgeons achieve precise Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) tailored to women’s needs — preserving natural density while improving volume and coverage. The procedure is minimally invasive, scar-free, and delivers natural, long-term results.
Purpose & Benefits
This treatment aims to restore volume and density to areas affected by female pattern hair loss (FPHL), postpartum thinning, or hormonal changes.
Key benefits include:
- Natural-looking results with robotic precision.
- No visible linear scar — ideal for longer hairstyles.
- Advanced AI imaging identifies the healthiest donor follicles.
- Fast recovery with minimal discomfort.
- Enhanced scalp density for improved confidence and styling flexibility.
- Customized approach for female hairline and density patterns.
Ideal Candidates
Women who may benefit from the ARTAS robotic transplant include:
- Those experiencing diffuse or patterned hair thinning.
- Women with stable donor hair on the back or sides of the scalp.
- Individuals seeking a minimally invasive, no-scar solution.
- Patients with hormonal or hereditary hair loss (FPHL).
- Women who have lost hair due to stress, pregnancy, or medical conditions.
- Those who prefer a discreet, modern, and effective treatment.
Possible Risks & Complications
While robotic precision minimizes errors, some mild side effects may occur:
- Temporary redness or swelling on the scalp.
- Mild soreness or tightness for 1–2 days.
- Temporary shedding of transplanted hairs (“shock loss”).
- Slight uneven density if donor areas are limited.
- Rare risk of infection if after-care is neglected.
Techniques & Technology Used
- Robotic FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): ARTAS uses AI and digital mapping to identify and harvest the best follicles.
- Customized Female Design: Surgeons focus on enhancing thickness and coverage, not receding hairlines typical of men.
- Precision Implantation: Grafts are placed at the proper angle and density to match natural female growth direction.
- PRP or Laser Therapy: Often added to stimulate healing and promote hair regrowth.
- Non-Shaven Technique: For women who prefer to avoid shaving donor areas completely.
Treatment Process in Korea
- Consultation: Hair and scalp assessment with a Korean hair-transplant specialist to plan density and coverage.
- Preparation: Donor area trimmed minimally; local anesthesia administered for comfort.
- Extraction: ARTAS robot extracts individual follicular units using AI guidance.
- Implantation: Surgeon and medical team implant grafts precisely into thinning areas.
- After-Care: Scalp treatment, medication, and follow-up guidance provided.
- Recovery: Most women return to regular routines within 3–5 days.
Recovery & After-Care
- Mild swelling and redness for 2–3 days.
- Avoid touching or washing the scalp for 48 hours.
- Gentle washing starts from day 3 onward using clinic-recommended products.
- Avoid heat styling, direct sunlight, and strenuous activity for a week.
- Early hair shedding occurs within a month — new growth appears at 3–4 months.
- Full volume restoration typically achieved within 9–12 months.
Results & Longevity
- Noticeable improvement in scalp density after 3–6 months.
- Natural thickness and volume visible by 9–12 months.
- Transplanted follicles are permanent and resistant to hormonal thinning.
- Results blend seamlessly with existing hair for soft, natural coverage.
- Maintenance treatments (PRP, supplements, or laser therapy) can enhance longevity.
