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.
