Combination Robotic and Manual Surgery

At Vista Wellness in La Mesa, CA, we offer a unique combination robotic and manual hair transplant for patients seeking both cutting-edge precision and maximum graft count. This advanced method blends the power of ARTAS robotic technology with the skill of manual extraction to deliver the most comprehensive hair restoration results. Under the expert care of Dr. Brandon Ross, this hybrid approach allows us to strategically cover more donor areas while maintaining the accuracy, natural appearance, and minimally invasive benefits our patients expect.

In a combination procedure, Dr. Ross first uses the ARTAS robotic system to extract follicles from the central donor zone, the mid occipital region moving forward laterally, ensuring robotic precision and efficiency. To extend coverage, he then uses the Devroye handheld device to manually extract additional follicles from harder to reach areas such as the upper and lower occipital and temporoauricular regions. This dual approach is ideal for patients who desire a higher number of grafts and broader coverage, particularly those with more advanced hair loss. The result is a fuller, more natural look using the latest technology and the experienced hands of a leading hair restoration expert.
