One of the most important components of beauty, both for men and women, is hair. If a man has hair and teeth, he pretty much has it all,” says Jeff Sinclair, managing director for Asia of Restora tion Robotics, the first manufacturer of a highly sophisticated robotic hair trans plant system. Speaking before the press at the elegant office of the Aivee Institute at the Fort, Sinclair explains that the ad- vanced technology of the Artas Robotic Hair Transplant system, the first in the county, provides permanent, natural- looking results “without the plugs, pain and stitches associated with traditional hair transplants.” It took nine years to develop, undergoing evolution since it started in 2002 until its approval in 2011.
