Developed from scientific and clinical research since 2005, the ARTAS Robotic System is a medical device that in the main extracts hair grafts for FUE transplantation.
The ARTAS® is the world’s only Robotic System for hair transplant surgery automation, and the Farjo Hair Institute acquired one of the first such devices to be sold in Europe back in 2013. At the time, it allowed our highly trained surgeons to achieve larger cases safely and efficiently.
Currently, we are not using the system, as we are utilising newer excising and graft extraction systems that are more efficient and fit for purpose in our hands.

Dr Bessam Farjo, the founder of The Farjo Hair Institute, commented: “The ARTAS robotic system has completely revolutionised our work here at Farjo and our patients have seen fantastic results. The industry is constantly pushing the boundaries of new technology and the ARTAS is an excellent example of that.”
Pioneering stuff indeed from the team at Farjo Hair Institute! See the full article and photos

The ARTAS robotic procedure is a minimally invasive hair restoration solution that uses digital imaging and precision robotics to harvest healthy grafts for transplantation. Similar to standard FUE, there is no need for the surgical removal of a strip of tissue from the back and sides of the head, no linear scar left after surgery and no need for stitches or staples to close the wound. The benefit is a quick recovery time and the ability to return to normal activities and work sooner.
The ARTAS robotic hair transplant provides the same natural looking results as any top quality hair transplant procedure. After the procedure, you are able to wear your hair any length or style with confidence.
Old fashioned ‘hair plugs’ included the harvesting of large patches of hair that resulted in an awkward and unnatural appearance once implanted. In the ARTAS robotic procedure, hairs are harvested in their natural groupings and then transplanted individually. Individual transplantation provides you with the look you desire, including a great looking hairline and a fuller head of hair.
Because the ARTAS robotic system selectively harvests individual hair groupings rather than removing a large area of scalp requiring sutures, there is minimal scarring in the donor area. Hair can be worn fashionably short, or in longer styles, whatever you prefer.
The cost of treatment depends on many clinic-dependent factors but primarily on the number of grafts required. It is important that patients are clear on whether they are being charged per follicle (hair) or follicular unit (graft).
Prices for an ARTAS FUE hair restoration procedure will typically range between £5,000 and £10,000.
The time taken for a treatment session will depend upon the number of grafts required, but a typical case of up to 2,000 grafts would likely take up to 8 hours.
The minimum number of grafts to make the use of the ARTAS robot justifiable (and cost effective) in a clinic depends on the costing model used by the clinic with some clinics opting only to use the ARTAS for cases over 1,200-1,500 FUE grafts.
