We have often heard about follicular unit extraction (FUE) process of Hair Restoration in Delhi and other places, which is nowadays the most popular method of hair transplantation. The difference of this method with earlier ones is that instead of using a patch or graft containing several healthy follicles, individual follicles are put to use that get transplanted to the bald area.
The follicles to be transplanted are selected from the donor area on the sides or back of the head (because they are less prone to baldness). The follicles are selected on a random basis but care needs to be taken that only a single follicle is selected and plucked each time.
Why Do We Need Robots?
As we mentioned above, each follicle needs to be individually selected and plucked, over and over again, till the required number of follicles have been taken. This process is not only very monotonous, but also requires great accuracy, for which robotics has begun to be used. If you visit any Hair Transplant Clinic in Delhi, you can enquire if they have the facility of FUE hair transplant done by robots.
How does Robotic Hair Transplantation Take Place?
The robotic system has a robotic arm which would help with selection and plucking of hair follicles. The patient would be normally seated, and the doctor would guide the robot towards the correct angle, depth and distance (between follicles). The needle of 1 mm is held by the robotic arm, and it then removes each of the follicular units from the scalp, one at a time.
Benefits of Using Robotic Arm
This process is less invasive, and it has greater efficiency and speed. The chances of errors are minimized. More follicular units can be selected and taken in the same time, improving the chances of quicker regrowth. There is no visible scarring on the scalp.
