Preparing For Your ARTAS Hair Transplant
Most importantly, you will need to cut your hair before the ARTAS procedure, because trimmed hair is more accurately pinpointed and harvested by the robotic system. Your pre-transplant consultation will provide you with trimming instructions so that you are ready on the day of your procedure. You will not need to prepare for a long recovery since most patients only have mild swelling or pain if any symptoms arise at all following the transplant. Patients typically resume normal activities within 1-2 days, though you should allow for about 4-8 hours of treatment time, depending on how much hair is being transplanted.
