Computer-Assisted Hair Restoration Study Using ARTAS System

This multi-centre study is evaluating the ARTAS robotic system for hair restoration — a computer-assisted procedure that harvests and implants hair follicles — in men with pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). The goal is to assess how well the system performs in accurately selecting and placing hair follicles to achieve natural-looking results. Men aged 20 to 70 with a Norwood-Hamilton hair loss grade of III to VI (moderate to extensive hair loss) who are willing to shave the treatment areas short and attend follow-up visits are eligible — those with prior scalp surgery in the last 6 months, bleeding disorders, or anticoagulant use are excluded. Participation involves a single robotic hair restoration session followed by post-operative follow-up appointments to assess graft survival and overall results. This summary was prepared with AI assistance to help patients understand the study in plain language.
