Technology is revolutionizing hair transplants – it’s never been easier to restore a full, thick head of hair!
By age 50, around 85% of men will have experienced significant hair loss. Fortunately, the hair restoration providers at Braun Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center have the advanced, technology-driven treatment to restore a look that supports your most confident, healthy self.
What technologies do you use?
At our offices in Alexandria, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., we use a robotic hair restoration system and advanced FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technology.
How does the robotic system work?
The ARTAS® is the first robotic hair restoration system of its kind to be cleared by the FDA. The multi-step process generally involves:
- Selecting the ideal follicles to be harvested—The ARTAS® is equipped with special technologies that use AI algorithms to identify follicles that will have the highest rate of survival and the greatest chance for successful transplantation.
- Intelligently harvesting the best follicles—We use robotic speed and precision to accurately and safely harvest or lift the follicles from the donor site. These capabilities allow us to preserve the natural look of the donor site, so results will not look patchy or uneven, and there will be no lasting undesirable effects at the site where the follicles are harvested.
- Designing your optimal hairline—Technologies also allow us to identify the best distribution of the follicles or grafts at the recipient site. These features also allow us to avoid damage to otherwise healthy hair during the transplantation process.

How does FUE technology work?
A modern hair transplant approach, Follicular Unit Extraction involves taking baldness-resistant or terminal hair follicles at the back of the head and harvesting, grafting/transferring them to the areas that need it most. Generally, hair is harvested from those places where it is most plentiful and transplanted to thin areas along the hairline and on top of the head. The NeoGraft® method that our hair restoration professionals use involves “punch and pressure,” whereby follicles are suctioned and extracted in a gentle and precision manner. Using a special handpiece, the integrity of the follicles is preserved with FUE, and the surrounding tissues remain intact for a safe and comfortable treatment process. By supporting precise harvesting, the NeoGraft® process ensures more follicles can survive at the recipient or transplant sites.
What are the benefits of these technologies?
With traditional hair transplants, doctors surgically remove a strip of skin from the back of the scalp. The wound left behind is then stitched up, and the “follicular units” are transferred to balding areas. Our approaches are not traumatic. They do not involve cutting, incisions, sutures, prolonged recovery, and scarring as the treatment sites heal. Precision technologies also promote long-lasting, natural-looking results.
