About the automatic hair transplant machine

この記事の概要

The use of machines in hair transplant surgery is critical to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the procedure. The following is a description of typical hair transplant surgical machines and their features.

1. Overview

  • The ARTAS robotic system is one of the automated technologies in hair transplant surgery, specifically used in the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure.
  • How it works : A highly precise robotic arm automatically harvests hair follicles from the donor area and drills holes for transplantation, allowing for more consistent and precise harvesting and transplantation compared to manual methods.

advantage

  • High precision : High-precision operation that is difficult for the human hand to perform is possible.
  • Minimally invasive : Minimizes damage to the donor area.
  • Shorter surgery time: This reduces the burden on the patient.

2. NeoGraft System

overview

  • The NeoGraft system is a semi-automated device that assists in manual hair follicle harvesting, specifically used in the FUE procedure.
  • How it works : A device with suction gently extracts hair follicles and then transplants them, minimizing damage to the follicles.

advantage

Simplicity : It is easy to operate and does not depend on the doctor’s skill, so consistent results can be expected.

Efficiency : Reduce damage to hair follicles and improve success rate.

3. Choi Implanter Pen

overview

  • The Choi Implanter Pen is a manual device used in the Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) method.
  • How it works : Hair follicles are loaded into a pen-like device and then implanted directly into the scalp , which increases the precision of the transplant and shortens surgery time.

advantage

High precision : The direction and angle of the hair follicle can be precisely adjusted.

Minimally invasive : Minimizes damage to the donor and recipient areas.

NATURAL RESULTS : Achieve a more natural looking hairline and hair density.

4. SmartGraft System

overview

  • The SmartGraft system is the latest automated system used in FUE hair transplant procedures.
  • Function : It automatically collects hair follicles and has a cooling storage system, which makes it easy to maintain the quality of hair follicles.

advantage

Efficiency : Automation shortens surgery time and reduces discomfort for patients.

Hair follicle preservation : Cooling storage improves the survival rate of hair follicles.

summary

The use of machines in hair transplant surgery is important to improve the precision and efficiency of surgery and reduce the burden on patients. Technologies such as the ARTAS Robot System, NeoGraft System, Choi Implanter Pen, and SmartGraft System each have different features and advantages and are selected according to the needs of the patient. Utilizing these technologies allows for more natural and high-quality hair transplant surgery.
