Robotic Hair Restoration
in Toronto
At FORM, we integrate cutting-edge technology with surgical artistry to address hair loss. Robotic hair restoration represents the pinnacle of modern cosmetic surgery, utilizing the ARTAS iXi robotic hair transplant system to automate the most delicate aspects of the FUE procedure. By leveraging artificial intelligence, our experienced surgeon can extract hair follicles with robotic precision that manual methods cannot match. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to provide natural results while protecting the integrity of your donor area.

ARTAS iXi robotic hair restoration is an advanced, AI-supported version of follicular unit extraction (FUE). Instead of a surgeon manually extracting hair follicular units, the ARTAS iXi system uses sophisticated algorithms to identify and select the healthiest hair follicles for harvesting. The robotic device tracks each follicular unit in real time, ensuring that hair follicles are harvested evenly across the donor site. This precise technique prevents the "over-harvested" look and ensures a natural appearance in both the donor and thinning areas.
What makes a robotic hair transplant superior?
The cornerstone of our program is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), during which hair follicles are extracted from the back of the head and implanted where you need enhanced growth. Traditionally, this is a lengthy procedure performed by hand by a technician, prone to fatigue and error. With state-of-the-art robotics and AI technology, we’ve made incredible improvements to the speed, accuracy, and long-term results of your FUE hair transplant.
First, artificial intelligence algorithms identify and select the healthiest, strongest hair follicles for harvesting. Robotic precision allows for perfectly randomized extraction and implantation, creating natural, undetectable results. Because the follicles are transplanted so consistently, their survival rates greatly improve compared to hand-held work.
Unlike our robotic FUE option in Toronto, this procedure removes a strip of scalp from the donor area, from which hair follicles are removed. The downside is that this procedure leaves a long scar, which may be visible with a shorter hairstyle.
This treatment aims to use low-energy light to stimulate cells and encourage hair growth. At this time, there are few studies to support the effectiveness of hair loss laser treatments, and more research is needed.
Minoxidil (Rogaine) and other medications can be used to treat hair loss, balding, and receding hairlines. We may include these in your treatment plan; used alone, they can take a long time to see the benefits, and you’ll need to continue taking them forever.
Robotic hair restoration is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed in our Toronto clinic. You’ll first meet with Dr. Brandt, who will assess your hair and design your customized treatment plan.
The FUE procedure is performed under local anesthesia only, so you can relax comfortably and watch Netflix. The robotic arm meticulously extracts hair follicular units from donor hair at the back of the head. Unlike follicular unit transplantation (FUT), there is no long scar or linear scar. The system then assists in creating recipient sites and implanting harvested hair follicles into the receding hairline or crown. This robotic method ensures that individual hair follicles are placed at the perfect angle and depth to mimic existing hair.
Envision your results!
The ARTAS robotic hair transplant is the gold standard for:
The primary benefit of the robotic hair transplant is the elimination of human error and fatigue. A surgeon or technician may tire after extracting hair follicles for hours, but the robotic arm maintains 100% accuracy from the first graft to the last.
No Scarring and Maximum Density
Because the system is so precise at removing donor hair, it leaves minimal scarring that is virtually undetectable, even with short hair. This minimally invasive approach means a faster healing time and superior results in graft survival, as the hair follicles are handled with extreme care during the hair transplantation process.
Is the ARTAS iXi System right for me?
Most patients with brown straight hair or dark hair are ideal candidates, though the ARTAS iXi continues to expand its ability to treat various hair types. During your initial consultation, hair restoration specialist Dr. Michael Brandt will review your medical history and set realistic expectations. If you have sufficient donor hair and a desire for natural results without a long scar, this robotic technology is your best path forward.
Healing time is short; you’ll be up and about the next day, back to work in 2-5 days, and fully healed by 2 weeks. Since a robotic hair transplant harvests individual follicles rather than a large area of scalp, there is minimal scarring in the donor area.
While individual follicles shed, new natural hair begins to grow within a few months. Before-and-after photos typically show significant density by month six, with the full natural appearance visible at one year. How long do hair transplants last? Since we are implanting harvested hair follicles from permanent donor zones, the results are lifelong. Your natural-looking results will age gracefully with you.
FORM Face + Body is the first in Ontario to offer hair restoration fully powered by state-of-the-art robotics and artificial intelligence.
Thanks to ARTAS® iXi technology, the results are more precise, more natural, and have a higher success rate than older techniques, all at a comparable price point. Our program is helmed by Dr. Michael Brandt, board-certified cosmetic surgeon and hair restoration specialist, who will design your customized plan to put thinning hair and a receding hairline behind you. Call today to learn more about robotic hair restoration in Toronto and whether it is right for you.
The ARTAS robotic system is a tool that assists physicians. Your experienced surgeon remains in total control, designing the hairline and overseeing the robotic arm to ensure the personalized hairline design is executed perfectly.
No. One of the greatest benefits of the robotic hair transplant is that it uses follicular unit extraction (FUE), which avoids the visible linear scars associated with older follicular unit transplantation methods.
Because the procedure is minimally invasive, the healing time is very short. Most redness in the recipient sites and donor area subsides within a week.
Yes. By using artificial intelligence to map the orientation of your existing hair, the robot ensures the implanted hair follicles grow in the same direction, resulting in natural-looking results.
Since we are implanting harvested hair follicles from permanent donor zones, the results are lifelong. Your natural-looking results will age gracefully with you.
