Columbus Experts in Hair Restoration
According to surveys, up to 85% of men experience some form of male pattern baldness in their lifetime. Fortunately, there are more options than ever to restore your confidence and your hairline. Whether you are struggling with thinning, receding, or balding, Columbus Cosmetic is here to help.
Hair Restoration Options, Tailored to Your Goals
We offer a wide range of hair restoration solutions, tailored to each patient. During your first consultation, Dr. Houser will get to know you, review your medical history, examine your hairline, and discuss your goals at length. While some patients may be ideal candidates for topical products, medications, minimally-invasive solutions like ALMI™, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), others may see the transformative results they are looking for with the ARTAS® Robotic Hair Transplant.
How Advanced ARTAS Technology Works
At Columbus Cosmetic, we are proud to offer the most advanced and natural-looking hair transplant techniques and technologies. Using follicular unit extraction (FUE), surgeons can harvest and transplant hair follicles individually. Unlike older strip methods, FUE does not involve linear scars or stitches, which minimizes a patient’s downtime, improves the recovery process, and reduces complications. By choosing an FUE method, patients can enjoy more flexibility with hairstyles and a seamless, streamlined experience.
The ARTAS® system further improves upon and refines the FUE technique, offering the best in care. This transplant method at Columbus Cosmetic leverages advanced algorithms, a unique vision system, and a robotic arm to enhance speed and precision, while reducing physician fatigue. During the procedure, Dr. Houser will guide ARTAS to harvest and transplant follicles, using its algorithms to select the optimal follicles and implant sites. This technique maintains the donor area and ensures that the transplanted hairs blend seamlessly.
What to Expect if You Choose an ARTAS Hair Transplant
During ARTAS at Columbus Cosmetic, you can expect a smooth, patient-focused experience. Our physician-assisted procedure begins with harvesting. In this stage, ARTAS maps a patient’s hairline in real time, analyzing each follicle to maintain the donor area. With algorithmic precision, Dr. Houser guides ARTAS to select and harvest the best individual hairs, resulting in a faster, more accurate process than traditional manual techniques. Next, the harvested grafts are precisely placed and implanted, ensuring each hair is in the optimal position for a natural-looking result, taking into account follicle angles, overall density, and the donor area.
ARTAS is performed under local anesthetic, with the patient awake and seated but made comfortable. There are opportunities to take breaks as needed, and the patient can communicate clearly and openly with our team. Most patients report the entire experience as virtually pain-free, and we take great steps to attend to patients’ needs throughout the process.
That same day, patients will return home with detailed instructions, aftercare information, and any medications needed. As with any surgery, following instructions carefully is crucial for the best possible result. Most patients can return to regular activities within a few days. As the newly transplanted hairs begin to grow, most patients will notice significant growth that continues to improve after six months.
Confident Results for Every Patient
We understand that hair loss is a stressful experience. Rest assured, no matter where you are in your restoration journey, our Columbus Cosmetic experts are ready to serve you with compassion, exceptional care, and the best technologies available.
Based on your unique concerns and goals, we offer an array of services to help you maintain or transform your hairline. During your initial hair consultation, Dr. Houser will discuss all of your options with you, including ARTAS or any combination of the following solutions:
- Medications & Topicals: Medications like finasteride or topicals like minoxidil can help combat the hormone associated with male pattern baldness, preventing future hair loss and thinning while promoting new growth and thickness.
- PRP: With PRP, patients use their own plasma to stimulate growth and follicles. This minimally-invasive option involves drawing blood, separating the plasma with a centrifuge, and reinjecting it. Over time, PRP helps rejuvenate hair by improving blood flow, delivering growth factors, and stimulating dormant follicles.
- ALMI™: For those seeking an all-natural and minimally-invasive treatment, ALMI™ can deliver exceptional results without surgery. Performed under local anesthetic, ALMI involves injecting fat cells and platelet concentrates to stimulate follicles. The result is fullness, regrowth, and restoration that continues to improve with each growth cycle.

I had an awful strip surgery when I was younger. Comparing the ARTAS procedure to strip surgery is like comparing day and night; my experience was so much better and far more comfortable. I didn’t have to deal with any pain.

I received the Artas procedure. The consultation with Dr. Houser was very informative and all of my questions were answered during the visit. On the day of the surgery the team was very considerate of all my needs, always ensuring my comfort/relaxation was met and that I was completely informed of everything transpiring during the process. Dr. Houser’s professionalism and knowledge as a skilled surgeon is the best in the practice.
