ARTAS Robotic Implantation
The digital design created with the ARTAS studio is transferred digitally, so the most attractive, natural look can be achieved.
The physician-assisted robotic system for follicular unit graft extraction has the benefit of micron level precision in order to harvest the best quality follicles while leaving the donor area looking natural and intact with minimal scarring and no horizontal scar.
To achieve the ultimate in precision in hair restoration, the ARTAS system uses a “site making” technology to select the optimum location from in which to implant healthy hair follicles, including type of follicle, angle, and location.

In recent years, hair restoration technology has taken massive steps forward, allowing for less invasive procedures and more natural-looking results than ever before. Dr. Wolfeld offers several methods of advanced hair restoration capable of restoring your thick, youthful head of hair while requiring minimal downtime.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
FUT, follicular unit transplantation, or “strip method” is a traditional method of hair restoration, in which a strip of scalp is removed from the back of the head and the healthy hair follicles are then dissected from the strip into individual follicular unit grafts. These follicles are then implanted to the balding or thinning regions of the scalp.
FUE, or follicular unit extraction, is the process of harvesting follicles from the back of the head where they are not genetically programmed for balding, and then implanting the follicular unit grafts to fill in a balding or thinning area in a completely natural and aesthetic fashion.
It is now possible to restore the eyebrows to a thicker, lusher appearance with advanced hair restoration technology. Dr. Wolfeld is a consummate professional in hair restoration, and exceptionally meticulous in choosing the correct type of hair, direction, and quantity transplanted to produce beautiful brows.
Part of achieving a full transition is having an aesthetic appearance that reflects your true self. If you are making the transition from male to female and want a more feminine hairline, or female to male and desire a beard, mustache, sideburns, or other masculine hair patterns, Dr. Wolfeld can help.
Dr. Wolfeld has developed advanced techniques for scar repair to help those who want to reduce the appearance of an unsightly scar, whether it is from a previous FUT procedure performed with a different practice or any scar on the scalp from a previous surgery or trauma. With modern hair restoration techniques, the appearance of the scar can be minimized and hair can be transplanted into a scar to help camouflage it for an improved aesthetic appearance.
PRP, or “platelet rich plasma” is a natural product extracted from your own blood. When the PRP is injected into the scalp, the growth factors are released which can help to prevent further thinning and can even thicken your existing hair – a perfect regenerative treatment for the early signs of balding.
