What Is the Latest-Generation ARTAS iX Robotic System?
The latest-generation ARTAS iX is an advanced, robotically assisted FUE hair transplant platform powered by artificial intelligence. Its multi-camera vision system analyzes the position, angle, size, and orientation of each follicular unit to help guide precise graft extraction. With imaging resolution down to 44 microns and repeatable robotic movements of 0.1 mm, ARTAS iX helps the medical team strategically plan graft harvesting while protecting the donor area.
Your diagnosis, hairline design, and all clinical decisions remain in the hands of the physician. The medical team configures and supervises the ARTAS iX system according to your hair characteristics, donor area, and personalized treatment plan.
ARTAS vs. Manual FUE: Same Technique, Different Execution
Manual FUE
Extraction performed directly by the medical professional
FUE with ARTAS
Robotic-assisted follicular unit extraction
The medical professional visually evaluates the characteristics of each follicular unit before extraction.
The system analyzes the position, angle, size, and orientation of follicular units.
The punch is manually positioned and controlled by the medical professional during each extraction.
The robotic arm aligns the extraction mechanism according to the characteristics identified in each follicular unit.
The procedure relies on the experience, skill, and control of the medical professional throughout the extraction process.
Robotic assistance enables precise, repeatable movements configured by the medical team.
The medical professional identifies patient movement and manually adjusts the orientation of the instrument.
The system continuously monitors the treatment area and adjusts its tracking in response to patient movement.
The distribution of follicular unit extraction is planned and performed directly by the medical team.
The system tracks selected follicular units and helps the medical team strategically distribute extraction throughout the defined donor area.
The hair restoration design and extraction strategy are developed based on the medical evaluation and treatment plan.
The medical evaluation is complemented by digital tools and 3D planning according to each patient’s treatment protocol.
Follicular units are extracted individually, avoiding the linear scar associated with strip surgery.
ARTAS also uses individual follicular unit extraction through FUE, so no linear scar is created.
The medical professional directly plans and performs each stage of the extraction process.
The physician diagnoses, plans, configures, and supervises the procedure, while ARTAS functions as an advanced assisting technology.
Both options use the FUE technique. The difference lies in how follicular unit extraction is performed: manually or with robotic assistance. The right approach is determined after evaluating the donor area, pattern of hair loss, hair characteristics, and each patient’s individual restoration goals.

HAVE QUESTIONS?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ARTAS
WHAT MAKES ARTAS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER HAIR TRANSPLANT METHODS?
ARTAS combines artificial intelligence, advanced imaging, and robotic assistance to help the medical team analyze, select, and extract follicular units with a high level of precision. This supports consistent graft selection, donor-area preservation, and natural-looking hair transplant results.
IS AN ARTAS HAIR TRANSPLANT PAINFUL?
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is minimally invasive. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure, with a generally comfortable recovery afterward.
DOES ARTAS LEAVE VISIBLE SCARS?
ARTAS uses individual follicular unit extraction, which avoids the linear scar associated with strip surgery. This allows the donor area to maintain a more natural appearance, even with shorter hairstyles.
HOW LONG DOES AN ARTAS HAIR TRANSPLANT TAKE?
Depending on the number of follicular units needed, the procedure may take approximately 4 to 8 hours. Robotic assistance helps make the extraction process more efficient and consistent throughout the session.
ARE ARTAS HAIR TRANSPLANT RESULTS PERMANENT?
Transplanted follicles are typically taken from areas that are genetically more resistant to hair loss, which is why the transplanted hair is designed to provide long-lasting results. Final outcomes also depend on each patient’s individual hair loss pattern and clinical characteristics.
HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY AFTER AN ARTAS HAIR TRANSPLANT?
Most patients can return to many of their normal activities within a few days. Because ARTAS uses a minimally invasive FUE approach, recovery is generally manageable, with personalized postoperative instructions provided by our medical team.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR AN ARTAS HAIR TRANSPLANT?
ARTAS may be an option for men and women with localized hair loss, an adequate donor area, and realistic expectations. A medical evaluation is necessary to determine whether robotic FUE is the right approach for each patient.
WHERE CAN I GET AN ARTAS HAIR TRANSPLANT IN COLOMBIA?
Be Dharma Hair is the only clinic in Colombia with the latest-generation ARTAS iX robotic system, offering international and local patients access to advanced robotic hair restoration in Medellín, with personalized medical care focused on precision and natural-looking results.
