IS YOUR BRADLEY COOPER LOOK FADING AWAY? IS YOUR HAIR THINNING? DID YOU KNOW THAT OVER 50% OF ALL MEN, AND OVER 40% OF ALL WOMEN WILL EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT HAIR LOSS IN THEIR LIFETIME? IF YOU HAVE THINNING HAIR, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
A hair restoration procedure can seem like a frightening prospect. Perhaps you have thought of perhaps having your hairline restored, but were worried about an unnatural appearance, or an unsightly scar on your scalp.
Hair restoration has advanced by quantum leaps, even compared with just five years ago. Long gone are the pluggy, little sister’s “doll’s hair” appearance of hair transplant procedures. Modern hair restoration surgery practices utilize new technologies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and offer specialized surgical techniques such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). With this method of hair restoration, the hair follicles for transplantation can be painlessly extracted from the scalp one at a time. The hair to be transplanted can now be relocated to the thinning areas without leaving any linear scar whatsoever.
The Quantum Leap
Bye, Bye Flintstone and hello Jetsons. In 2011 the ARTAS Robotic Hair Restoration Surgery system, the first and only of its kind, received FDA Clearance for Safety and Efficacy, and the world of bringing back the Bradley Cooper look, also known as hair restoration surgery was changed forever. Similar to the robots used in other areas of medicine, such as robotic prostate surgery, and harnessing advances in computer imaging, the ARTAS system now offers patients a more efficient, precise, and non-invasive option for hair restoration. It is a revolutionary device, and winner of the international Gold Medal at the 26th Edison Awards in 2013. It performs the FUE hair restoration procedure robotically. All other FUE methods, regardless of the device (such as NeoGraft®), are performed manually by hand. This introduces inherent human error, and the associated variability and inconsistency of motion at the ‘micro’ level while attempting to extract tiny hair follicles, one by one.
How it Works
Under the guidance and direction of its leader…a surgeon who has experience with this advanced robotic procedure, the ARTAS Robot Assisted FUE System scans and digitizes a small area of the scalp to identify and track each hair using complex software algorithms, and custom, stereoscopic surgical cameras
Updating its location 5,000 times per second, the ARTAS System’s image-guided robotics harvests follicular units for transplant with micron-level precision. Each follicle is selectively harvested with minimal trauma to the surrounding skin to maintain the look of your donor area.
The recipient sites in the areas of loss are created by the surgeon, making the recipient site for each individual follicle in as natural pattern as possible, following the angles of your own hair, and creating permanent, natural hairlines. The follicles are gently implanted into the recipient sites individually.
Patients will start to see results in 3-4 months, with results and hair density improving until 8 to 12 months following a procedure.
The First in Georgia
Dr. Ken Anderson, MD performed the very first robotic hair restoration procedure in the State of Georgia in 2013. Dr. Anderson is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has confined his practice exclusively and solely to surgical hair restoration for men and women for over a decade. If you’re losing hair and are unsure of your options, Dr. Anderson offers private, complimentary consultations personally, as well as virtual consultations online.

The next generation of hair restoration procedures has arrived. No plugs. No stitches. No regrets. Welcome back, Bradley Cooper!
