The American multinational, Restoration Robotics, manufacturer of the Artas Robot – the first and only hair transplant robot – has chosen Clínica Imema, world leader in hair transplants with robot. This is the first time that this second generation of innovative robots has been launched in Europe.
Restoration Robotics has highlighted the great potential of the Spanish market and, in particular, the leadership of Clínica Imema which, in just one year after the introduction of the Artas robot in Spain, has become the center that performs the most robotic transplants in the world.
The director of Imema, Dr. Eduardo López Bran, highlighted the improvements that this new generation of robots incorporates into hair surgery before, during and after the intervention, since “they make it possible to perform non-aggressive hair transplants, without scars and with natural and definitive results”.
This second generation of Artas Robots offers many advantages, mainly incorporating two substantial novelties:
– ArtasHair Studio: This is a 3D application that makes it possible to design and customize the treatment to show the patient a simulation of the result, prior to the transplant. The preview avoids possible insecurities on the part of the patient and makes it possible to visualize the expected results.
– Site Making: A software that performs the incisions in the area – at a rate of 1,000/hour – with the parameters of the design previously made, minimizing damage to the bald head.
In addition to these two added advantages, Artas robots are characterized by high precision, a reduction in transplantation time, as well as an increase in the precision of the incisions and, ultimately, an improvement in the results.
This second generation of robots also offers the possibility of automatically selecting the follicular units – grouping of hairs – according to the number of hairs they have. In this way, only follicular units with two or more hairs are selected, achieving a greater number of hairs, with a smaller number of incisions and with more optimal results.
The transplant is performed in three steps. The first two steps consist of extracting the follicle and making the incisions for hair implantation, using the Artas Robot. The third step must be performed manually by an expert team to implant the follicle. The U.S. multinational is currently working to carry out this last step.
