A revolutionary technology in the field of hair transplants, ARTAS Robotic Hair Restoration procedure is minimally invasive, virtually-pain free and provides outstanding results. If you are looking for a permanent and natural solution to hair loss, the ARTAS is the most advanced procedure available worldwide. Unlike more traditional graft-based hair transplant procedures, ARTAS removes the need for stitches and leaves no linear scar, which gives excellent results, particularly around the hairline.
Prior to the robotic hair transplant procedure taking place, your hair transplant surgeon will use state-of-the-art technology in the form of an interactive 3D application to create a simulated model. This will show you what the full experience entails and how you will look with a fully restored head of hair – you will be able to not only see what the results will look like, you will also be able to customize your hairline according to your preference and ultimate goal.
Controlled by the consultant using image-guided robotics, ARTAS’ intelligent algorithms identify and select the most viable hairs for harvesting, while digital mapping and precision robotics provides precise and consistent graft dissection. This avoids causing damage to the existing healthy hair and allows for even distribution across both donor and implant areas for a much faster recovery time and outstandingly natural results.
ARTAS Robotic Hair Restoration is usually performed under local anaesthetic.
Men and women who are suffering from hair loss and who want a natural, long lasting look with minimal scarring are good candidates for the ARTAS procedure.
The Artas Robotic Hair Transplant is a minimally invasive procedure. As it takes around three days for the transplanted hair to take root and growth cells to be transferred from the follicles to the scalp, some minor discomfort and swelling can be expected during this same time period. After a few days, any scabbing that has formed around the implanted hairs will have fallen off; the implantation sites are usually fully healed within one week post-procedure.
The results of the ARTAS are permanent, with the initial results usually being noticeable within three months of the procedure being performed. The hair continues to grow for twelve months after which the full permanent results will be evident. Of course, the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant does not stop any new or progressive hair loss and further grafts may be required at a later time to maintain the best results. To ensure that the results look at their best for as long as possible, you should lead a healthy lifestyle with a balanced ‘clean’ diet to provide the vitamins and minerals you need for optimum health, take regular exercise and avoid smoking.
As with any procedure that can significantly change the way you look, undergoing a hair transplant can have a psychological impact and so careful thought needs to be given prior to going ahead. At Cocoona, we ask for you to conduct a self-evaluation to help you assess if you are one hundred per cent ready, both physically and mentally, for surgery. You should ask yourself the following questions:
Once you have clarity on the above, the next step is to find the right surgeon and clinic. These are of paramount importance.
You need a surgeon who is experienced in performing the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant, has a sound reputation and proven results. You should also look for a surgeon who will give you honest and realistic advice on what you can and can’t achieve with this procedure.
A good clinic is one that has an experienced and highly skilled surgical team, licensed aestheticist(s), well trained nursing staff, an excellent reputation, and a low complication rate. Of course, the clinic also needs to be licensed with the relevant authorities for the country or region it is situated in. At Cocoona, we tick all these boxes.
For an accurate cost assessment, you will need to book an initial consultation with our surgeon. As with almost any aesthetic procedure, the cost will depend on the following factors:
Surgeon’s Expertise – The surgeon’s fee is based on their experience. Obviously, a reputable surgeon who is established and has a successful track record will charge higher fees.
Clinic/ Hospital – Fees also depend upon the quality of the facility chosen for the operation.
Geographic Area – Depending on the city/ area you decide to have the surgery in, the cost is likely be different: clinics in larger metropolitan cities tend to cost more. You should bear in mind that the expertise of your consultant and your comfort factor with him or her should be one the most important considerations, much more so than the cost of the procedure. A cheap procedure could turn out to be an expensive proposition in the long run.
Once you are clear about your reasons for having the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant and have decided to proceed, call us to fix an appointment. On the appointed day, the expert surgeon who will perform the procedure will consult with you. During the consultation, you should expect the following:
Feeling apprehensive before the surgery takes place is entirely normal. Be sure to discuss any fears or concerns you have with your surgeon and don’t hesitate to ask any questions related to the results you hope to achieve.
Being well informed is being well prepared. Apart from checking that your clinic and doctors have the necessary skills, knowledge and experience, here are some more areas that you should explore:
Please feel free to add any more questions that you wish to this list before your consultation.
After your initial consultation, you will need to make the final decision regarding your surgeon. Never choose your surgeon simply based on how much the treatment will cost. Instead, focus on the following:
License & certification – is the surgeon licensed and certified to conduct the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant by a reputable body?
Expertise & experience – the number of years of experience/ how many ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplants has the surgeon has performed previously
Before/ after pictures – evidencing their capability of past performance
Clarity on possible results – whether they are providing you with realistic expectations and honest feedback
Professionalism & comfort factor – if you feel comfortable with the professionalism and manners of a surgeon, and feel you can trust him/her with your face and body then that’s the surgeon you should consider
Safety philosophy – if the surgeon is ready to put you at risk by recommending or agreeing to perform multiple unrelated surgeries and/or procedures on the same day or within a short period of time, you should refuse to proceed and go elsewhere.
Patient testimonials & reviews – A good reputation and a large number of positive patient testimonials and reviews on independent forums should be an important consideration in your process of choosing the right surgeon
Keep in mind that there are hidden costs in the long term and greater risks (including threat to life), associated with a surgery where costs, safety and skills are compromised. Always be wary of a plastic surgeon or clinic that is offering very low costs and/ or miraculous results.
After your initial consultation with the surgeon, once you are satisfied with the outcome of the ensuing discussions and have confirmed that you will go ahead with your chosen consultant, a date will be fixed for the procedure.
ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis for most patients. In the unlikely event of complications, an overnight stay may be required for outpatients, or inpatients may face a longer stay, should the attending doctor make the recommendation. Before you come in for your procedure, we recommend that you plan accordingly.
Here are some of the important steps that you must take before the procedure:
Our surgeon and patient counselor will guide you thoroughly about what you need to do so that you are completely at ease and ready for surgery and beyond.

I want to thank you for the great effort and expertise that you put in the hair transplant procedure which you did on me. You have fixed a big cut from a previous, very bad hair transplant in Jordan. It kept me very nervous and uncomfortable for very long time. Now, after conducting this surgery by you, I feel very very happy because the cut is almost gone. I like your personality and professionalism. I am really glad that I made a decision to come to Dubai and conduct the surgery at Cocoona Clinic Thank you very much.
