Recovery time with the ARTAS iX and NeoGraft procedures is less than with most surgical cosmetic procedures. As there is no surgical incision or stitches required, healing time is short. You can usually go back to your daily activities after a day or two and the donor site will heal in approximately a week. You will have a follow up visit the morning after the procedure to examine your scalp and to teach you how to take care of your newly implanted hair.
