Treatment Overview
The High-Density ARTAS Hair Transplant is a premium robotic hair restoration technique designed to achieve maximum graft density in a single session. Using AI-guided imaging and robotic precision, it enhances the traditional Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method by providing more accurate follicle harvesting and placement.
In Korea, this advanced procedure is performed by highly experienced specialists who combine the latest robotic systems with aesthetic design expertise to deliver fuller, natural results with minimal downtime.
Purpose & Benefits
The main goal of the High-Density ARTAS procedure is to provide thicker hair coverage and natural-looking results for individuals with advanced hair loss.
Key benefits include:
- High graft density achievable in one session.
- No linear scarring and minimal donor trauma.
- Shorter recovery time compared to traditional FUE methods.
- High precision and graft survival rate due to robotic accuracy.
- Natural and dense hairline appearance.
- Korea’s medical facilities ensure premium-quality service for international patients.
Ideal Candidates
This procedure is ideal for:
- Men and women with moderate to severe hair thinning or baldness.
- Patients who want fuller results in one session.
- Individuals with a strong donor area (back or sides of the scalp).
- Those seeking minimal scarring and faster recovery.
- Patients in good general health who can follow after-care instructions.
- Medical tourists seeking advanced, affordable, high-tech treatment in Korea.
Possible Risks & Complications
Though highly precise, some potential risks remain:
- Temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort in the donor or recipient area.
- Short-term shedding of transplanted hair (“shock loss”).
- Uneven density if donor hair quality is limited.
- Extended procedure duration due to high graft counts.
- Typical surgical risks such as infection or inflammation.
- Over-harvesting if the donor area isn’t properly evaluated.
Techniques & Technology Used
- Robotic FUE Technology: The ARTAS system uses advanced digital mapping and AI-guided robotic arms for accurate graft harvesting.
- High-Resolution Imaging: Detects optimal follicle units for extraction and placement.
- Dense Packing Technique: Allows for maximum grafts in one session without compromising blood flow or graft survival.
- Adjunct Therapies: Korean clinics often combine this with PRP therapy or laser treatments to enhance healing and growth.
- Non-Shaven Options: Many clinics offer non-shaven FUE for patients who prefer a discreet procedure.
Treatment Process in Korea
- Consultation: Initial photo or video evaluation followed by in-clinic assessment in Korea.
- Design & Planning: Surgeon designs a natural hairline and plans graft density.
- Preparation: Donor area is cleaned and prepped; local anesthesia is applied.
- Harvesting: ARTAS robot extracts individual follicular units with precision.
- Implantation: Surgeon and team implant grafts into thinning areas with dense-packing technique.
- Post-Care: Medication and scalp care instructions provided. Patients stay in Korea for a few days for monitoring.
- Follow-Up: Remote consultations after returning home to ensure proper recovery and growth.
Recovery & After-Care
- Mild redness or swelling in the first few days.
- Sleep with head elevated and avoid touching or scratching the scalp.
- Gentle washing allowed after 3–4 days, following clinic guidelines.
- Avoid strenuous activity, direct sunlight, and alcohol for at least a week.
- Initial shedding may occur within 2–4 weeks.
- Noticeable growth begins around 3–4 months; full results appear within 9–12 months.
- Maintain healthy habits and use recommended hair care products for long-term success.
Results & Longevity
- Early visible results appear within 3–6 months.
- Full density and natural results develop within 12 months.
- Transplanted hair is permanent, as it’s taken from DHT-resistant areas.
- Non-transplanted hair may still thin, so maintenance treatments or medications might be recommended.
- Proper care ensures results that last for years with natural thickness and volume.
