ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant

ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant at Freia Medical uses US FDA-approved robotic follicular unit extraction technology to harvest follicles with precision and consistency, minimising transection rates to 10–15% for natural, scar-free results.

The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant at Freia Medical is a state-of-the-art surgical hair restoration procedure using the US FDA-approved ARTAS 3K system — one of the most advanced robotic platforms available for follicular unit extraction. Freia Medical has been offering ARTAS since 2015, making it one of Singapore's pioneering clinics with deep expertise in this technology. During the ARTAS procedure, the robotic system uses sophisticated imaging algorithms and precision robotics to identify and harvest optimal follicular units from the donor area at the back of the scalp. The robot maintains a low transection rate of 10–15%, meaning the vast majority of grafts remain intact and viable. Manual implantation is then performed by Dr Harold Ma, who strategically places each graft to recreate a natural hairline and density. The procedure typically takes four to eight hours, depending on the number of grafts required. Because no linear strip incision is made, there is no linear scar — only tiny circular extraction marks that heal naturally and become imperceptible. Most patients can return to light activities within two to three days and resume strenuous exercise after one week. Results follow the standard hair transplant timeline: initial shedding occurs in the first few weeks, new growth becomes visible at around three months, and the final outcome is apparent at twelve to eighteen months. ARTAS is suitable for men and women with stable pattern hair loss seeking a technology-driven, minimally invasive permanent solution. All ARTAS patients at Freia Medical benefit from the same comprehensive post-operative care package, including the clinic's 24-hour support hotline and follow-up reviews.
