San Francisco Residents Needing a FUE hair transplant Come to Foster City!

A FUE hair transplant is one of the most popular methods of hair transplantation, and is also known as a robotic hair transplant or by the trade name of ARTAS. If you live in SF and want an FUE transplant in San Francisco you need to hop in the car and drive down to Foster City. Here you will find the world’s leading expert on FUE transplantation, Dr Miguel Canales. He is the man who led the team who invented the robot that does the work! For ten years he was Medical Director of Restoration Robotics.

However, here is one thing to know about robotic hair transplants: they are not performed completely by a robot. The fact is that the robot is an extension of the surgeon, and he is the expert who programs and guides it. You are still dependent on his skill in producing an aesthetic result regardless of how the hair follicles are harvested. He sets the parameters and specifications and the robot uses an optical guidance system to identify and extract the follicles for transplantation.

Thousands Of Grafts In A Hair Transplant Session

The hair transplant robot works extremely quickly and can harvest grafts from hundreds to thousands of times in a transplant session. It would not be possible for a human being to work with this sort of speed or accuracy. The robotic procedure has several advantages, not the least of these being that there is no linear scar left in the donor area. The robot makes extremely tiny round incisions which heal leaving a tiny white scar which is invisible to the naked eye.

Another advantage of an FUE transplant in San Francisco is that recovery time is very quick and the donor area heals faster with less discomfort after surgery. Most patients only require something such as ibuprofen, and there are no limitations on strenuous exercise. After a day or so you can go back to playing basketball or baseball if those happen to be your sports. Furthermore, because there is no linear scar at the back of the head you will be able to wear your hair short if you wish, without embarrassment.

Another big benefit of the robotic procedure is that the software can provide you with a 3D digitized model of your head which shows you how the results will appear. Dr Canales can even show you the anticipated results using different variations in the numbers or density of the grafts.

So if you need an FUE transplant in San Francisco make an appointment to see Dr Canales. It’s a short drive from San Francisco to Foster City.  He provides all patients with a completely free consult, so call him on 650-638-1226 or email info@siliconvalleyhairinstitute.com.
