Dr. Sam Lam Performs FUE Hair Transplants in Dallas Using Innovative ARTAS Hair Restoration System

PLANO, Texas - July 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Dr. Sam Lam, M.D., F.A.C.S., a double board-certified Dallas hair transplant surgeon and facial plastic surgeon, has recently introduced cutting-edge technology into his hair transplantation technique.  New computer-assisted robotic technology, known as the ARTAS^TM Hair Restoration System, allows Dr. Lam and his hair transplant team to harvest hair follicles during hair transplant procedures using the most extremely precise and minimally invasive techniques possible.

Restoration Robotics, Inc. designed and developed the ARTAS^TM system, which is the most innovative technology to be introduced into the field of hair restoration.  The computer-assisted and image-guided robotic technology allows for hair transplant surgeons to individually pinpoint healthy hair follicles and extract the follicular units from the back of the head for use during hair transplantation surgery with no incision necessary.  Once follicular units have been extracted using this FDA-cleared technology, the hair follicles are then prepared for transplantation.

Below we describe the history of the ARTAS Robotic FUE System:

Due to the advanced technology within the system, there is more likelihood that strong follicular units will be selected and there is less discomfort to the patient, since no incisions in the scalp are necessary.  This is in contrast to more traditional hair extraction techniques currently in use, such as strip harvesting.

It comes as no surprise that Dr. Lam is utilizing this state-of-the-art hair extraction system.  Dr. Lam has long been recognized as a pioneer in the field of hair restoration, and his use of the ARTAS^TM hair restoration system further solidifies his standing at the forefront of the field.  In addition to obtaining the ARTAS^TM system for use in his Dallas hair transplant practice, Dr. Lam has also welcomed a new member to his hair transplant team.  Emina Karamanovski, a key member of Dr. Lam’s transplant team, was previously the National and International Training Director for Restoration Robotics, bringing with her an unmatched level of expertise with the ARTAS^TM hair restoration system.

“The ARTAS^TM system is transforming the way we can perform hair transplantation procedures,” explains Dr. Lam.  “Our FUE techniques using ARTAS^TM mean that our patients can experience less discomfort during hair transplant procedures while also enjoying better results.  The ARTAS^TM system allows us to track and dissect the healthiest hair follicles, and since the procedure of harvesting the follicles is so minimally invasive, these follicles remain stronger, allowing us to achieve even more successful transplantation results.”

Dr. Lam has long been known for his exceptional artistry when it comes to hair restoration.  He is skilled in combining this artistry with advanced medical expertise and cutting-edge techniques to create hair restorations that are dense, natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing.  The ARTAS^TM hair restoration system is one means by which Dr. Lam and his team can provide the best possible results for his patients.

During the follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure using the ARTAS^TM system, a patient simply rests comfortably in an ergonomically-designed chair.  A skin tensioner is applied to an area at the back of the scalp to make it easier for the computer-imaging technology in the ARTAS^TM system to identify which follicular units to extract.  The robotic technology then extracts these units using a minimally invasive technique that requires no incision to the scalp.  Once harvested, final preparation of each hair follicle is performed by Dr. Lam and his team, prior to being grafted.

Dr. Sam Lam offers FUE hair transplants using the ARTAS^TM hair restoration system at his Dallas hair restoration practice, The Lam Institute For Hair Restoration.  He performs hair restoration procedures on males and females, and specializes in offering ethnic hair restorations, including those of Asian, African, Hispanic and Middle Eastern descent.  In addition to the state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge procedures utilized by Dr. Lam, the Dallas hair transplant surgeon focuses on the artistic and creative aspects of hair transplantation in order to achieve the most desirable results.
