Restoration Robotics Announces The 10 Millionth Hair Harvested With The ARTAS® Robotic System

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Restoration Robotics, Inc. announces a major accomplishment - the 10 Millionth Hair with the ARTAS^® Robotic System was harvested by CLINICA Imema in Madrid, Spain.

"We are excited to have harvested the 10 Millionth Hair," shares Dr. Eduardo Lopez Bran, a member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Society.  "It is important that my practice continues to offer the most advanced hair restoration procedures to our patients. The ARTAS Robotic System enables me to provide consistent, reproducible results compared to other procedure options. My patients leave my office with a natural donor area and they are able to wear their hair at any length without the need to conceal a linear scar."

With the commercial launch in late 2011, achieving the 10 Millionth Hair demonstrates the ARTAS Robotic System's widespread acceleration and rapid adoption among leading hair transplant experts. This transformative technology is currently cleared for use in forty-six countries, with additional clearances pending.

Launched after almost a decade of research and development in the heart of the Silicon Valley, the ARTAS Robotic System has revolutionized hair restoration and continues to change the way men think about hair replacement. The ARTAS Robotic System is the first and only image-guided, physician-assisted robotic system for harvesting follicular units. This paradigm-shifting technology brings a new level of speed, precision and accuracy to hair transplantation, helping to remove patient concerns like discomfort, an unnatural result and telltale large scars across the back of the head.

Using high-resolution digital imaging, the ARTAS Robotic System extends physician capability and removes the potential for human error attributable to fatigue. The physician-assisted ARTAS Robotic System uses state-of-the-art image guidance and intelligent algorithms to optimize individual follicular unit harvesting resulting in precise procedures and consistent results. With the ARTAS Robotic System, physicians can harvest thousands of follicular units in a single session, performing the procedure with consistent, reproducible results.

"Restoration Robotics is committed to revolutionizing and advancing hair restoration," comments Jim McCollum, President and Chief Executive Officer of Restoration Robotics. "The ARTAS Robotic System is fast becoming the gold standard in hair transplantation and enables hair restoration surgeons to enhance the patient experience and achieve unsurpassed outcomes.  Our 10 Millionth Hair verifies the increased interest in patients pursuing a highly precise, undetectable hair transplant with a high degree of patient satisfaction.  Interested patients are researching and demanding the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant Procedure."

"I am thrilled I chose to have the ARTAS Robotic Procedure," states Dr. Lopez Bran's Patient. "I carefully researched all of the options out there and Dr. Lopez Bran and I decided that this was by far the best choice for me. I didn't feel any pain after the ARTAS Procedure which shows how efficient the technique is."
