Ziering First Practice To Complete Female ARTAS Procedure

Premier Hair Restoration Surgeon, Dr. Craig Ziering, First to Successfully Restore Woman’s Hairline with Revolutionary Robotic Treatment

Los Angeles, CA – Ziering Worldwide today announced the first use of the revolutionary ARTAS® System, performed by Dr. Craig Ziering, to complete a significant, 2382 robograft female hair transplant procedure. Dr. Ziering has been using the FDA cleared ARTAS System to successfully treat many of his male patients since the introduction of the robotic technology last year. The ARTAS System uses advanced imaging to enable micron level targeting and its robotic arm to precisely harvest healthy follicular units in this minimally invasive procedure for hair transplantation patients.

“My practice works exclusively in hair transplants and is recognized for its contributions to new innovations and studies in hair restoration. As an early adopter of the ARTAS procedure, I’m confident in the system’s advanced, highly sophisticated approach. I felt, along with my male patients, select female patients in need of hair restoration would benefit immensely from the systems advanced technology and precision robotics,” said Dr. Craig Ziering.

Mistakenly thought to be a strictly male condition, women actually make up forty percent of American hair loss sufferers. Hair loss in women can be absolutely devastating for the sufferer’s self-image and emotional well-being (American Hair Loss Association). The only permanent way to restore hair loss from androgenetic alopecia is through surgery.

Ziering, a leading medical provider specializing in hair restoration, has introduced the first and only robotic hair restoration procedure to the UK. The ARTAS System, or ‘Robograft’*, is a new, physician controlled robotic technology which is set to revolutionise hair transplant surgery in the UK. Ziering currently have an ARTAS system over in Beverly Hills The first patient at The West London Clinic was Patrick Shaw, 38 from Liverpool. “I decided to undergo the treatment because during the last 8 or 9 years I have noticed slowly that my hairline has slowly been receding…I hated the way it looked” “[I'm looking forward] to running my fingers through my hair, buying a soft top cabriolet, that kind of thing!” With high profile figures such as Wayne Rooney recently benefiting from the FUE procedure, the taboos around hair loss have been challenged, resulting in increased demand for solutions among men and women in the UK. The introduction of the ARTAS System to the UK means that for the first time ever, people in the UK worrying about hair loss will have access to the latest technology and a permanent solution from just 5000.

Like many men going a little thin on top, Patrick Shaw has been watching his hair recede on the hairline around his face and he’s worried about the onset of balding.

According to the UK’s Department of Health he is one of 6.5 million British men who experience hair loss.

Most men have some hair loss by the age of 60 and for most this is a natural part of the aging process.

But some men start experience hair loss from their teenage years and the balding can have an impact on a man’s feeling of masculinity.

As a staff member of Ziering Medical, Shaw is being allowed to become the first in Britain the try out the new robot.

The start of the process is much the same.

The hair is clipped short.

The donor and graft sites are prepared and injected with anaesthetic.

Shaw says he has no feeling and no pain.

Aged 38 Shaw is not considerably bald, but says he’s be increasingly concerned by the progressive retreat of the hairline on his forehead.

A British man has become the first in Europe to have a hair transplant using a robot. The robot is set to transform the effectiveness and success rate of transplants according to the Hollywood surgeon who’s introducing the machine to the continent following years of trials. The hair is clipped short. The donor and graft sites are prepared and injected with anaesthetic. The Britain who underwent the transplant said he has no feeling and no pain. The team plans to introduce the robot to clinics throughout Europe and other countries later this year.

The Robot Hair Transplant [Interview]

The Robot Hair Transplant

The Terminator films had it all wrong, the machines won’t rise up against us, they’re making us look better. Yes, I was excited by the news of robotic hair transplants (N.B. That’s robots transplanting hair, not hair being transplanted onto robots) for obvious reasons. And to find out more I got to speak to Dr Craig Ziering, the expert behind this life-line to the balder of society like me.

Have a listen.

And here’s a video about it.

‘Robograft’ Arrives

chic-geek

Forget RoboCop, Ziering, a leading medical practice specialising in hair restoration, introduces ‘Robograft’, the first and only robotic hair restoration procedure to the UK. The ARTAS System, or ‘Robograft’, is a new, physician controlled robotic technology which is set to revolutionise hair transplant surgery in the UK.

This process of hair restoration entails a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure, which works by transplanting hair from healthy ‘donor’ areas one unit at a time into desired thinning or balding regions. To date, this procedure is done manually by a physician, but is a labour intensive process.

The Robograft procedure from Ziering, while still overseen by a physician – offers greater precision, consistency and speed allowing more time for artistic input. Patients therefore benefit from human expertise, enhanced by technological innovation.

Additional benefits of the ARTAS System include; Minimally invasive procedure with virtually no post-operative discomfort, no linear incision with a scalpel and no linear scarring, ability to wear hair at varying lengths without concern of a linear scar being visible to others and higher quality grafts which enhance transplant survival rates.

With high profile figures such as Wayne Rooney recently benefiting from the FUE procedure, the taboos around hair loss have been challenged, resulting in increased demand for solutions among men and women in the UK. The introduction of the ARTAS System to the UK means that for the first time ever, people in the UK worrying about hair loss will have access to the latest technology and a permanent solution.

Founder and Medical Director, Dr Craig L. Ziering, is an industry pioneer, teacher and author who remains in constant pursuit of seeking and developing new technology, surgical techniques and hair treatment solutions. He said of the launch, “I’m thrilled that Ziering is taking the lead in the field of Robotic Hair Restoration and is the first practice to bring the ARTAS system to Europe. By placing the robot in our London clinic, we are enabling the ARTAS robotic procedure to become a realistic solution for patients suffering with hair loss throughout the United Kingdom.

“My expert team of surgeons at our London clinic are excited about having this groundbreaking ARTAS technology, which provides the best surgical tools in the industry with which to perform procedures. It is an exciting time for our practice and our industry.

“Reported hair restoration procedures among celebrities and high profile individuals can often lead consumers to believe that treatment may be beyond their reach. However a full-range of hair-loss solutions, including surgery, consultation services, laser, medical and non- surgical options; are available for a range of prices at Ziering.”

From £5000 – but it depends on the number of grafts a patient has. Roughly it is £5 per graft and 1000 grafts is the norm.

TheChicGeek says “New technology like this that makes it less labour intensive for the surgeon, will result in the price for these operations coming down. Where once it was seen as unaffordable or for people on footballer’s salaries, the ‘Robograft’ and other technology like it, will make the procedure within reach of many more people. Hair transplants will be the new laser eye surgery, what this space”.

The UK’s First ‘Robot’ Hair Transplant and Hair Loss Myths

blog-huffington

In the last week, the UK has just witnessed a significant breakthrough. One that could soon prompt an intriguing rash of conversations in various male bolt-holes across Britain. For example:

-Have you seen Dave recently?
- No
-Well, he seems to be sporting a remarkably luxuriant bouffant.
- Really? That is a surprise.
- Yes it is, considering his head hasn’t been bothered by a comb since 1998.

The event that has triggered this imaginary conversation is the occurrence of the UK’s first hair transplant – by robot. Yes, if I were one of the daleks, I would be getting a bit nervous because this piece of kit could be putting their status as Britain’s favourite automaton under threat.

One of the original pioneers of this technique is a chap called Dr Craig L. Ziering, originally from New York but now based in Beverley Hills. He has brought the $250,000 machine across the pond to a clinic in West London, and it was there that the watershed operation took place.

I must admit, at the moment my forehead is very much winning its 38 year long territorial battle with my hair. As well as making me consider the benefits of a little assistance, it also serves as a constant reminder of a follicle free ex-work colleague and the reason he gave for his predicament.

He blamed his mum.

She always seemed a strange target to me, but he was of the opinion that baldness comes from genes on the mother’s side. To be honest I have heard this theory many more times over the years but it turns out that this is rather unfair (the hair loss gene can be passed down from either parent) And it is not the only myth when it comes to hair loss.

Here are my 3 favourites:
1 – Hair loss is a result of high levels of testosterone
Fiction: Hair loss is caused by hair follicles from some parts of the head being more sensitive to dihydrotestosterone ( I like to call it DHT, as if we are close mates), as opposed to higher levels of testosterone.
2 – Wearing hats or wigs makes you go bald
Fiction: Your hair doesn’t actually need to breathe as hair follicles get their oxygen from the bloodstream . So wear a hat. What the hell, where three.
And finally..
3- Hair loss can be cured by standing on your head
Fiction: You will just get a headache. And a reputation as a being a bit odd, as well as a bit bald.

Like many men going a little thin on top, Patrick Shaw, aged 38, has been watching his hair recede and is concerned about the onset of balding.

As a staff member of Ziering Medical, Mr Shaw is being allowed to become the first in Britain to try out the new robot.
US surgeon Craig Ziering, who is behind the idea, says the machines are combining the artistry of the surgeon with the mechanical consistency and efficiency of the robot.

“We’re able to harvest successfully without damaging the grafts, probably at an increased rate of 50 percent compared to the hand method,” Dr Craig said.

“With the robot we’re able to get excellent grafts therefore the natural results is what the patient gets and that’s what the patient wants.”
