Whether you’re a man or a woman, losing hair can be a nightmare. Hair loss affects a person’s confidence and self-image. There are many factors that can trigger hair loss. This includes genetic predisposition to baldness, stress, nutrient deficiency etc. Whatever the cause, you do not have to simply live with balding spots. Hair transplant surgery is now commonly performed to combat hair loss. Today, this procedure can also be performed with the help of robotics. There are a number of advantages to this procedure, including:

Faster Results: The first step of a hair transplant surgery is to harvest hair follicles from the donor site. When performed manually, this is a tedious process that can take a long time. It also requires great skill as each hair follicle must be harvested without damaging the root. In comparison, robotics makes this process much faster.it negates human error.

Better Site Creation: When it comes to hair transplants it isn’t enough to simply put a number of hair follicles in the bald area. Aesthetics plays a key role here. Some of the factors that need to be kept in mind include average spacing between hair follicles, depth if hair follicle roots, hair direction, and elevation. It can be quite difficult to match these factors when transplanting hair manually. Hence, though the baldness may be hidden, your hair may not look as natural as it should. However, with robotics, it is easy to have full control over these parameters. When the hair follicles are being transplanted, each of these measures can be set so as to match the natural look. Robotics also allows the doctor to specify the number of follicular units required and select the ones with the most hair strands. Thus, it also reduces door site wounding.

Higher Survival Rate: After a hair transplant surgery, you may notice the newly transplanted hair strands falling off. This is normal and most of the hair will grow back. However, a certain amount of hair strands are lost and hence your hair may not be as dense as you imagined. With robot-aided transplants, there is a higher survival rate for follicular units. Thus, your hair will be denser.

In short, robotic hair transplant surgery is more efficient and effective as compared to manually performed hair transplants. They also provide a more satisfying result and reduce scarring. In case you have a concern or query you can always consult an expert & get answers to your questions!
