Here are some important considerations to keep in mind for hair transplant surgery using the Artas robot, to ensure the procedure goes smoothly.
Pre-surgery.
1. Note about hair.
- In the morning, you may wash your hair for your surgery with regular shampoo.
- Please consider the hairstyle you will choose for the procedure. The donor area will need to be closely shaved with a clipper using a number 1 or 0 guard.
- If you dye your hair, it is recommended that you color your hair a few days before your procedure. After the procedure, you must wait 6 - 8 weeks before you can color your hair again. Should be used a semi-permanent color instead of a permanent hair color that may cause damage to your new grafts. Permanent hair color can be used 3 months postoperative.
2. Time and Procedure.
- Please arrive at the hospital for about 8 A.M to 7 P.M from Monday to Saturday and 8 A.M to 5 P.M for the last day of the week.
- In case you are able to take medication, you must be dropped off and picked up after your procedure.
- Pre-operative photos will be taken for your chart only, unless other arrangements have been made.
- Wear a button down shirt or something easily removable.
3. What should you avoid?.
- Do not drink alcohol, caffeine, or beer the night before or the morning of your procedure.
- Eat a light breakfast before arriving at the hospital for your procedure.
- Smoking is strictly forbidden since it will cause your injuries to heal slower.
4. Supplements and Medication.
- Please remember to bring your medicine if your doctor prescribed it to you before the surgery.
- Upon your arrival to practice, please complete your medical questionnaires, please bring them with you on your procedure day.
- Speak to your doctor about the medicine that you are currently taking.
- Before the procedure, avoid taking supplements and medications, which may lead to blood thinning such as aspirin, ibuprofen (advil/motrin).

During the procedure.
- At any time during the procedure you may get up before breaks such as restroom or a brief stretch.
- We will break for lunch if your procedure is scheduled for the whole day. Please discuss lunch arrangements with practice staff before your procedure.
- Friends and family are not allowed to enter the surgery room when the procedure is being done, however they will be allowed to visit and check on your process. Having others in a surgery suit lends to a non-sterile environment and is not encouraged by OSHA.
- You may bring your own audiobooks or music as long as it is appropriate for everyone.
