The ARTAS iXi robotic system has completely revolutionized hair transplants for patients near Orlando. The robotic hair transplant system strategically harvests healthy hair follicles, then transplants them to the area affected by hair loss using the follicular unit excision (FUE) method. ARTAS hair transplant in Orlando offers unparalleled speed and accuracy when compared to previous methods.
ARTAS Orlando precisely harvests each follicular hair unit at the exact same accuracy and consistency throughout the entirety of the procedure. This eliminates any potential of manual fatigue or human error that was commonly associated with older FUE hair transplant methods in the past, as well as the motorized suction units that are currently promoted at other clinics around the world. The ARTAS hair transplant technology incorporates high-resolution digital imaging, precision robotics, and intelligent algorithms to:
The benefits of choosing the ARTAS iXi robotic system for your hair restoration journey include the following:
Traditional hair transplant procedures were far more labor-intensive than ARTAS. Hair Transplant Surgeons would have to manually dissect each individual hair follicle for harvesting (this could be hundreds and thousands of hair grafts in a single procedure). The ARTAS Robotic Technology was developed by leading researchers and engineers at Restoration Robotics to perfect the FUE hair transplant method and improve hair growth results. Due to the micron-level accuracy of the Robotic Technology, ARTAS Hair Transplant in Orlando is a minimally invasive and virtually painless procedure. Unlike previous surgical hair transplants, ARTAS does not require any stitches or sutures. Patients who receive ARTAS Orlando can expect no linear scarring in the donor area.
The ARTAS Hair Transplant procedure in Orlando approximately lasts about 4 to 8 hours. The length of the procedure is dependent on the patient’s hair restoration needs, goals and desires discussed in the initial consultation with Dr. Markou. The patient is seated comfortably throughout the entirety of the procedure, and may take as many breaks as needed at any time. While ARTAS Hair Restoration is virtually painless, a local anesthetic will be applied to the patient’s donor area to eliminate any potential discomfort. Most of our Orlando patients report little to no pain during and after the hair transplant procedure.
ARTAS Hair Transplant in Orlando incorporates the FUE hair transplant method to naturally restore hair. FUE is one of the two most common hair transplant methods used today. A follicular hair unit simply refers to all of the hairs that come out of the same individual pore. While most think of hair to grow as a single hair coming out of each pore, hair growth actually occurs in follicular hair units (or follicular units). Each follicular unit can consist of anywhere from 1 to 4 hair follicles that all grow together out of a single pore.
The ARTAS Robotic System in Orlando is used to extract these follicular units from the donor site to be transplanted back into the recipient site. The donor site is the area unaffected by hair loss or genetic scalp conditions, and is usually located on the back of the head. Hair located within the donor area is not affected by the hormone, DHT, which is a main chemical influencer of hair loss. The recipient site is the area that has been affected by hair loss or genetic scalp conditions, and is usually located on the top and front of the head.
ARTAS Orlando utilizes advanced digital imaging to analyze and identify the best hair grafts for harvesting. The ARTAS Robotic System incorporates state-of-the-art technology and intelligent algorithms to determine healthy hair grafts for dissection, while maintaining the most natural appearance in the donor site. Utilizing this advanced image guidance, ARTAS is able to track each dissected hair graft from start to finish. The micron-level accuracy of the ARTAS Hair Transplant Orlando allows robust hair grafts to be harvested at the exact same consistency and accuracy throughout the procedure.

It’s imperative to ensure a natural and undetectable look after receiving a hair transplant. This is what makes recipient site making one of the most important steps of ARTAS Hair Transplant in Orlando. Recipient site making refers to the process of creating the ideal hairline and aesthetic pattern for new hair growth. This part of the process requires Dr. Michael Markou’s years of experience and expertise to determine the precise locations for hair graft reinsertion. While the ARTAS Robotic System is capable of creating recipient sites behind the hairline, it is not capable of creating recipient sites in the hairline or crown. To ensure the best results for patients, Dr. Markou currently creates all of the recipient sites personally.
Dr. Markou in Orlando has 25 years of experience in designing and developing the ideal recipient site making treatment to obtain the most optimal and natural-looking hair growth results. Dr. Markou designs a recipient site making treatment plan that follows each patient’s individual scalp patterns. Each hairline design is based on different directions, angles and depths to formulate the patient’s desired aesthetic outcome. Dr. Markou, the leading ARTAS Hair Transplant Surgeon in Orlando, will determine the required angles, density and distribution of the hair follicles. This ensures a natural look for new hair growth, while avoiding potential damage to pre-existing healthy follicles growing in the recipient area.
Once hair has been successfully transplanted into the recipient site, the follicular hair units will continue to grow almost identically to those still located within the donor site. ARTAS Orlando allows hair follicles to grow consistently and steadily over time. Since the transplanted hair grafts originated within the donor site, the hair is not affected by the same conditions that cause hair loss in the recipient site – even after it has been transplanted. This results in natural and permanent hair growth results.
On average, patients can begin to see new hair growth in as little as 3 months from receiving ARTAS Hair Transplant in Orlando, Florida. The most drastic hair growth results will continue over the next 12 months, with the most noticeable results seen anywhere from 9 to 15 months after the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant procedure.
