Hair Restoration Procedures | Atlanta, GA
For many years, surgeons and doctors solely used the Strip (FUT) method for hair loss and hair restoration treatments. This method involves taking a strip of the patient’s hair, usually from the back of their head, for a hair transplant procedure. This traditional method, which is very effective both clinically and in regards to cost, is ideal for patients with very advanced hair loss, patients with curly or wavy hair, and those who style their hair longer in the back of their head. Technology has advanced over the years and we now have the option of the FUE procedure or robotically with the ARTAS machine. All methods are highly effective hair transplant treatments, but there are some key differences between the procedures. To learn more about which treatment is best for you and your goals, read below and contact us today for a consultation with one of our specialists!
ARTAS Hair Restoration- Robotic FUE
The ARTAS System is a pioneer in the field of robotic hair treatments and developed with the help of leading hair transplant researchers and physicians. The ARTAS robot precisely takes graft dissections from a patient’s scalp and then reallocates them with advanced speed and precision. The ARTAS system operates a Follicular-Unit Excision (FUE), which allows the ARTAS system to take hair follicles from the patient’s donor area without needing to make any linear incisions, linear scarring, or stitches.

WAW FUE hair restoration procedure is easier, faster, and more effective than a traditional FUE hair transplant. The innovative WAW FUE extraction device is designed to match the follicular unit’s natural shape that has a wider base. This enables Dr. Colgrove and his hair restoration expert team to harvest a greater number of high quality hair grafts while using a smaller incision (typically less than 1 mm). This expedites healing, reduces scarring, and lowers the risk of damage to surrounding healthy hair follicles. The result is that you can achieve a more productive hair restoration with lesser treatment time and minimal to no discomfort.

One or the more advanced techniques of FUE is now the shaveless or long hair FUE, which requires a very honed skill set to perform. At VSC we offer the shaveless or long hair FUE for certain patients depending on the length and caliber of their donor hair. This procedure is ideal for those who are in customer facing roles as the donor area in the back and sides of the scalp does not have to be shaved or cut to perform the extraction process as it does with the ARTAS procedure or traditional FUE procedure. This technique is very labor intensive, but a fantastic offering for those concerned with or having an aversion to shaving the donor area. Contact us today for consultation to see if you qualify for this technique!
