No man likes seeing a receding hairline or thinning hair when they look in the mirror. The specter of potential baldness coupled with visible hair loss can have a severe impact on a person’s ego and self-confidence, as well as other parts of their life – such as their career and love life. Fortunately, they are solutions.
Hair Loss and Restoration
Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, affects two-thirds of all men in the United States at some point in their lives. And androgenetic hair loss is only one of many types of hair loss.
Depending on the type of hair loss, there can be myriad factors behind it. This includes genetics, hormonal changes, health conditions or simply aging. Some conditions, like alopecia areata, are caused by autoimmune issues while telogen effluvium is a stress-induced condition.
While many instances of hair loss are temporary and can be stopped or reversed with proper treatment, many others result in permanent hair loss. Fortunately, hair restoration has come a long way since the hair plugs of the prior decades. Here at Hair Restoration of Lehigh Valley, we utilize the most advanced and proven technology available: the ARTAS® robotic hair restoration system, which is FDA-approved for precision, natural-looking robotic hair transplants.
The ARTAS® Robotic Hair Restoration Platform
The ARTAS® system is physician-assisted robotic technology that creates the most natural-looking results available. ARTAS® provides your surgeon with extraordinary accuracy in the performance of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), transplanting hair follicles individually to create the most attractive hairlines customized for your specific head shape and recreating natural hair patterns, even taking into account the hair follicles native growth angle.
Whereas Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) technology takes strips of scalp, leaving a linear scar behind, ARTAS® enables the transplanting of individual hair follicles and leaves minimal scarring which is virtually unnoticeable with even the shortest hair styles.
Because of how FUE procedures are performed with ARTAS®, the recovery times are rapid due to the tiny tissue samples that are taken. Since a course of treatment involves short, outpatient procedures, its impact on your day-to-day life is also minimal. If you are looking to reverse the signs of aging and regrow a natural looking head of hair, contact us today for more information.
