Artificial Intelligence promises to cure alopecia: this is ARTAS iX, the robot that gives you back your hair.

Alopecia, which affects both men and women, is a condition suffered by thousands of people worldwide. In Spain, the rate is particularly high, with research conducted by Medihair and published in late 2023 indicating that 44.5% of the population in our country suffers from it.

In the case of Spanish men, the problem affects 42.6% of men, and almost 60% have a genetic predisposition to it, according to studies conducted by Svenson. For this reason, numerous treatments and new ways of growing hair have emerged in recent years, and demand continues to grow. The global hair transplant market is expected to reach a value of around 38.8 billion by 2032.

It's clearly a profitable business, and some countries, like Turkey, have already become "hair Meccas" for their low-cost treatments. But they're not the only place where you can get this type of treatment, and one of the most promising ones available today is the ARTAS iX robot, developed by Venus Concept.

Powered by artificial intelligence, this system helps surgeons extract hair follicles , making the process more precise and potentially improving outcomes . It stands out because it can constantly monitor and control the position, angle, size, and orientation of each hair follicle, adjusting it to its movement.

Also due to its speed, since it can transplant 4,000 follicular units in a single session, equivalent to 10,000 hairs, achieving growth of more than 95% of the transplanted hair . And undoubtedly one of the most important aspects is that it provides very natural results in both the donor and recipient areas, protects existing hair, and minimizes the discomfort of the procedure, reducing recovery times.

This technology is already available in Spain, as it can be found in clinics such as IMEMA, QMED, Svenson, HTI Clinic and the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery, at a cost of around 3,000 euros , a price that can vary depending on the center, the diagnosis and the technique used.
