The ARTAS® method
Real power thanks to artificial intelligence
With FUE hair transplants based on innovative ARTAS® technology, Hair Doctors is taking the logical next step in its development. Like the manual Hair Doctors FUEplus method, ARTAS® ensures an extremely gentle treatment for our patients that is minimally invasive by the standards of modern hair transplantation: after just a few days, the healing is inconspicuous to others, and only barely visible scars remain.
- Depth, growth direction and spacing of every follicle calculated in real time
- Consistent extraction quality – even over several hours
- Only as many grafts as the treatment goal requires

Hair Doctors – which has kept its finger on the pulse of medical developments and technologies for years – is also convinced by the world’s only robotic technology in hair surgery. The ARTAS® iX and ARTAS 9X systems used at Hair Doctors were originally developed in the USA by the development lab and software company Restoration Robotics and are now being developed further by VenusConcept, one of the leading Canadian medical technology companies. With ARTAS® iX, it has become possible in modern hair transplantation to almost completely eliminate the drawbacks of manual, very time-consuming procedures.
This advance in hair transplantation, based on artificial intelligence and robotic technology, uses complex mathematical algorithms and highly developed sensors such as infrared imaging. Together, they do more than significantly increase the speed of the critical extraction of the hair follicles: the system also factors parameters such as the depth of the hair roots, the growth direction of the follicles, the calibre of the hairs and the spacing between the hair follicles into the extraction procedure – in real time, throughout the entire extraction. As a result, the valuable hair follicles are harvested from the donor area in an even more targeted way, much more evenly and without significant transection. Hardly any traces visible to others, such as scars or larger bald extraction sites, remain.
But the ARTAS® iX and ARTAS 9X FUE hair transplant offers even more: while even the best treatment teams eventually show signs of fatigue and lapses in concentration, the ARTAS® robotics keeps working effortlessly even after several hours. At Hair Doctors, such lapses are minimised by a sophisticated rotation system among the practitioners, but ARTAS® adds a decisive advantage: the overall treatment time is significantly shorter, patient comfort increases and the healing phase can begin sooner.
Hair Doctors offers this most innovative treatment based on both the ARTAS® iX and the ARTAS 9X robotic system for AI-assisted FUEplus hair transplants. Under specialist medical direction, this innovative method will be available to our patients at more and more Hair Doctors hair clinic locations.
The technology
The ARTAS® method is based on artificial intelligence
ARTAS® iX hair transplant explained
The ARTAS® Robotic Hair Restoration System is the world’s first technology for automated hair transplants. With state-of-the-art robotics and artificial intelligence, ARTAS® can take the quality of a hair transplant to a whole new level. Powered by AI, the technology offers incredibly precise, efficient extraction of the hair follicles that can be replicated at any time – without any loss of quality.

By efficiently calculating the next steps in advance thanks to groundbreaking software, ARTAS® can also help to speed up the hair transplant. ARTAS® also uses real-time 3D technology to support the treating specialist in designing the treatment zone in the recipient area.
The ARTAS® iX and 9X technologies used at Hair Doctors are just as gentle and effective as the manual Hair Doctors FUEplus hair transplant. With ARTAS®, our patients therefore benefit from our experience in two worlds. This combination of digital know-how and medical expertise from thousands of hair transplants at the highest level is unique in Germany.
Why ARTAS® FUEplus?
The ARTAS® iX and ARTAS® 9X robotic systems for the most modern form of hair transplant were developed by the North American technology and software company Restoration Robotics. Combined with the latest sophisticated software from Silicon Valley, the aim of this technology is to raise modern hair transplantation to a new level of quality, enabling even more natural-looking, less invasive and largely automated treatments. Another aim is to significantly shorten the treatment time, even for large hair transplants, thanks to effective robotic technology – without any loss of quality.

The idea is so brilliant because robotic technology has long been established in many applications and specialist fields of medicine. In the USA, automated applications are already much more widespread, but in Europe, and specifically in Germany, robot-assisted operations have now also become firmly established as the so-called gold standard in medical specialities such as cardiology, endonasal surgery or kidney transplantation. Now robotic technology has arrived in hair surgery too, helping the modern FUEplus method at Hair Doctors take another major step forward: it makes our treatments even shorter, more precise and gentler. For the best kind of hair transplant there has ever been at Hair Doctors.
By the way, the ARTAS® iX and ARTAS® 9X FUE hair transplant naturally shares all the advantages of the manual hair transplant using the FUEplus method: it leaves no strip scar at the back of the head and is therefore much less invasive than the traditional FUT method (Follicular Unit Transplant).
Benefits
Benefits of the ARTAS® AI-powered hair transplant
So what makes the ARTAS® robot-assisted hair transplant so special?
3D simulation in real time.
The artificial intelligence built into the ARTAS® technology uses mathematical algorithms and highly complex sensors to always determine the best decision for each individual hair follicle extraction – graft by graft.
Outstanding safety.
ARTAS® technology offers ultimate safety because it was developed exclusively for hair transplants. The patient’s well-being always comes first. In addition, the treating specialist can optimise every decision the system makes at any time during the procedure.
Utmost precision.
ARTAS® technology is optimised to harvest every hair follicle as gently as possible, taking exactly as many grafts from the donor area as the previously designed treatment concept requires. The fine robotics ensure that the traces of the procedure are minimal and no longer visible after just a few days.
Consistent extraction quality.
What is unique about ARTAS® technology is that the hair follicles are extracted with absolutely consistent quality – even over an extraction period of several hours in a very large hair transplant. That is a unique advantage over manual procedures.
Lasting result.
With a hair transplant using ARTAS® technology, too, the successfully transplanted hair normally continues to grow permanently for a long-lasting result. This is because the system takes the hair for the reconstruction only from those areas that are not affected by hereditary hair loss.
Hair Doctors is state of the art.
With ARTAS® technology, too, our patients benefit from the special Hair Doctors quality, shaped by state-of-the-art medicine. This makes your Hair Doctors hair transplant a true premium choice with the greatest possible patient comfort and long-term certainty.

How the ARTAS® treatment works
Day of surgeryPreparation and analysis
The hair is trimmed to approx. 1.0 mm – then ARTAS® uses lasers, infrared cameras and fine sensors to determine the quality of the available hair.
Read more
For a successful ARTAS® robot-assisted hair transplant, the hair is first trimmed to approx. 1.0 mm. This step is necessary because only then can the ARTAS® system play to its full strengths: in a first step, innovative laser technology, infrared cameras and other special fine sensors determine the quality of the available hair on the basis of various parameters. The system recognises the hair follicles best suited to the reconstruction, selects them according to a specific algorithm and effectively spares all the other surrounding hairs. In a second step, ARTAS® calculates the next treatment steps in advance in real time and so, step by step, builds its individual treatment concept on the basis of this artificial intelligence.
Day of surgeryRobot-assisted extraction
ARTAS® extracts only as many hair follicles as the treatment goal requires – each one individually, at harmonious intervals.
Read more
It is particularly worth emphasising that the ARTAS® iX or ARTAS® 9X robotic system determines the hair follicles very efficiently, in terms of both quality and quantity, so that only as many hair roots are extracted as are needed to achieve the treatment goal. State-of-the-art precision robotics then extracts each of these hair follicles individually. ARTAS® is programmed to always ensure a harmonious, natural-looking distance between the hair follicles for an even and aesthetically pleasing result. In keeping with the Hair Doctors standard of quality, this approach is so important because it preserves the remaining reservoir in the donor area, so that a further hair transplant, should you want one later, is still possible years later.
After a few daysBack to everyday life
After just a few days you can go about your daily life again without major restrictions – the result shows after 12–15 months.
Read more
The latest generation of the minimally invasive ARTAS® robotic hair transplant allows Hair Doctors patients to return to their everyday activities without major restrictions after just a few days. The procedure is practically painless. As with the manual methods of modern hair transplantation, the result shows after 12–15 months. Your personal Hair Doctors hair adviser will be happy to answer any further questions.
