Treatment Overview
The ARTAS Ultra-Short Hairstyle Compatible Robotic Transplant is designed specifically for patients who prefer very short haircuts, fade cuts, or buzz-cut styles.
Using the ARTAS robotic FUE system, Korean surgeons strategically extract and implant follicles with ultra-minimal scarring — small enough to remain virtually invisible even with 0–1 guard buzz cuts.
This makes it one of the best options for men who maintain a clean, short, military-style, or athletic hairstyle.
Purpose & Benefits
This procedure ensures that the donor area remains clean and natural-looking, even at extremely short lengths.
Key benefits include:
- Tiny extraction points that heal to almost invisible dots.
- No linear scar — perfectly compatible with short and buzzed styles.
- Extremely precise robotic harvesting for clean spacing and even donor density.
- Fast healing and low downtime.
- Ideal for men who want fullness but prefer short hair year-round.
- Natural angles and refined hairline design using AI-guided implantation.
Ideal Candidates
You are an excellent candidate if you:
- Prefer buzz cuts or very short hairstyles (0–6 mm).
- Want a hair transplant with minimal visible donor marks.
- Have good donor density and want even extraction distribution.
- Are concerned about scarring from traditional strip methods.
- Want to maintain a sporty, military, or clean low-maintenance look.
- Are seeking a highly discreet, natural restoration in Korea.
Possible Risks & Complications
Though ARTAS reduces human error, some mild risks exist:
- Temporary redness or swelling in the donor region.
- Mild scabbing for 2–3 days.
- Slight shock loss around donor area (temporary).
- Rare unevenness if donor density is extremely low.
- Possible sensitivity for a few days after the procedure.
Techniques & Technology Used
- ARTAS Robotic FUE: AI and 3D mapping select the healthiest follicles for extraction.
- Ultra-Micro Punch Size: Creates very small extraction points ideal for ultra-short hairstyles.
- Even Donor Harvesting: Prevents visible spacing or patchiness under buzz cuts.
- Hairline & Density Design: Tailored for short hair visibility; avoids unnatural density patterns.
- Optional PRP Enhancements: Supports healing and boosts graft survival.
