September 28th: First Robotic Hair Transplant in Canada

As some of you know, Dr. Rahal recently purchased the ARTAS robotic hair transplant system. Up to now he has used it to perform smaller test sessions.

Adamo Papa, a local patient, will be taking the seat and the spotlight tomorrow when he becomes the first patient to undergo a robotic hair transplant in Canada.

We know there’s been a lot of interest and curiosity surrounding the ARTAS system, so Dr. Rahal and Adamo will be answering questions both during and after the procedure.

There are two ways to get involved, ask a question and offer Adamo support:

• If you're on Twitter, add hashtag #robotht to tweets both during and after the procedure

• Visit the Adamo's blog at http://www.rahalhairtransplant.com/adamo/ You can ask him questions both during and after the procedure through the comments

Adamo has also agreed to document the procedure in detail from start to finish including photos, video and blog journal, so feel free to contact him directly for any requests! We will of course update forum members regularly.

Several media will be attending including the Discovery Channel, and we welcome forum members to join in the discussion and share their experience, support and knowledge.

Please keep in mind that the ARTAS trial is ongoing and for the time being will be offered on a very limited basis.
