Hair transplantation has evolved significantly over the years, offering a range of options for hair loss sufferers to regain their hair and confidence. Two main methods dominate this field: Manual hair transplantation, which includes techniques such as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), and newer, technology-driven robotic hair transplantation. Each method has its own advantages and limitations, making the choice between them very important to achieve the best possible results. In this article, we will provide a detailed comparison of manual and robotic hair transplantation methods, examining aspects such as precision, efficiency, patient experience, success rates and cost considerations. By understanding the differences between these approaches, individuals can make informed decisions about which method best suits their hair restoration goals and expectations.
Manual hair transplantation refers to traditional techniques used to restore hair through manual extraction and transplantation of hair follicles. This includes methods such as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). In FUT, a strip is removed from the scalp to harvest hair follicles, which are then transplanted into thinning or balding areas. In FUE, hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area and transplanted into the recipient area. These manual methods rely on the surgeon’s skill and precision to achieve natural-looking results, and both techniques have different advantages and challenges in terms of scarring, recovery time and overall effectiveness.
Robotic hair transplantation is a modern technique that utilises advanced robotic systems such as the ARTAS robot to assist in the hair restoration process. This method combines high-resolution imaging, artificial intelligence and robotic precision to automate the extraction and placement of hair follicles. The robot analyses the patient’s scalp, identifies the most suitable donor follicles and performs precise extractions with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue. Robotic hair surgery aims to achieve natural-looking results with shorter recovery times compared to traditional methods by increasing the accuracy, consistency and efficiency of hair transplants.
Each method has its strengths and suits different patient needs and preferences. Choosing between robotic and manual hair transplantation depends on factors such as desired results, budget and specific characteristics of hair loss.
