ARTAS iX® Robotic Hair Transplant System in Philadelphia, PA
HOW the ARTAS iX® Works
Step 1: Your Custom Hairline Design
The first step of the ARTAS iX procedure is to create a 3D model of your head and current hairline. Using the 3D technology, we’ll design your hair restoration to help customize and plan your personalized hairline design.
Step 2: Advanced Follicle Harvesting
Next, the ARTAS iX system uses a high-definition stereoscopic vision system, a robotic arm, and AI algorithms to identify and select the optimum hair follicles from the donor area for transplanting. The ARTAS iX methodically removes hair follicles within a square centimeter and will only take what is available from that area so there is never overharvesting. Only healthy follicles are evenly extracted with robotic precision and speed to preserve the natural look of your donor area. In fact, the donor area hair grows back normally with no residual effects. Compared to an FUT hair transplant that requires removing a strip of your scalp from the back of your head and leaves a linear scar, the ARTAS uses FUE (follicular unit extraction) and leaves no tell-tale signs that it was even there.
Step 3: Implanting Hair Grafts with Exquisite Artistry While Maximizing Yield
After the donor hair grafts are extracted, we take special care to a successful hair transplantation process. While artistry is critical in the hairline design, there is also artistry in the implantation process – correctly placing the hair follicles at the right angle so that they grow with your natural pattern and interlay seamlessly with your existing hair. A hair transplant can take up to 10-12 hours and we never rush this intricate process.
Step 4: Hair Follicles Take Root and Start the Hair Growth Cycle
The hair follicles have been transplanted and are now ready to thrive in their new location. After approximately 4-5 days, the hair will begin to shed. Not to worry – this is a normal and expected part of the process. The follicles are still there and will begin to regenerate new hair in approximately 4-6 months after your ARTAS hair transplant procedure.

Candidates for the ARTAS® Robotic Technology
Men who are experiencing hair loss and looking for a minimally invasive solution that offers more natural-looking results are candidates for the ARTAS. In addition, the ARTAS system is a great option if you:
- Are looking to restore areas of baldness, thinning hair, or have a receding frontal hairline
- Prefer to wear short hair
- Want minimal downtime and the least amount of activity restriction after your hair transplant procedure
- Need “scar camouflage” to hide prior linear harvests or scars
Ultimately, the best way to determine whether you are a candidate for the ARTAS is to schedule a one-on-one consultation at Hair Transplant Philadelphia|The Lumen Center.
ARTAS iX Hair Transplant Procedure Recovery Process
The recovery process for the ARTAS iX hair transplant is fairly short with most people recovering over a long weekend. You can usually go back to your normal activities after a few days and the donor site will heal in approximately a week.
Patients are carefully monitored post-procedure and at regular checkpoints for up to a year.
