Lasers in hair transplant

Lately hair transplants have become a regular common cosmetic process, especially for the treatment of male pattern baldness. Usually in a hair transplant process, a small piece of the patient’s scalp having healthy hair is removed from a donor area and implanted to a hairless recipient area. Post a period of time, some months the hair transplanted will begin to grow and survive in a healthy way.

This is a fairly simple process, yes you heard that right! A permanent hair loss surgery is simple, yet more comfortable and provides a very natural look.

Laser Treatment in Hair Transplant

What does Laser Assisted Hair Transplant process involve?

The process involves-

• Extraction of skin strips with hair roots from the permanent areas of the donor area.
• Hair roots are then separated from these strips into plugs containing single or double hairs. These plugs are transplanted into even spaced holes in the bald areas, the hair roots are separated from strips into plugs that hold hair.
• The process is performed under anesthesia and takes 3-4 hours with 1000-2000 grafts placed at a time.

Is it an improvement on previous surgical procedures?

The previous traditional processes are painful, sometimes bleed. Laser in hair transplantation does not lead to bleed and leaves no scars with a quicker healing.

Any guarantee hair will grow?

•  The bald skin that is ablated by laser is replaced with growing hair. Slit grafts which include micro and mini grafts are made by jamming of donor hair with narrow slits which usually sums to bumps and crowding.
• The depth of the laser application is computer controlled, therefore, the deep blood vessels are let free which nourish the hair.
• Because the laser beam can focus to the width of a single human hair, there is never any damage to neighboring hairs at the transplant site.
• Sites are prepped with a laser. The laser can cause vaporization of tissue because of its water attraction to our skin.  
• The laser can cause tissue evaporation in order to create a small hole or a slit, this technique needs correct laser type to make it successful. The laser prevents thermal injury. A small hole of 0.8 mm is made in the dermal/epidermal region. The graft prepped will be places onto this site.

Laser hair transplantation is a latest technique in hair transplantation which is a permanent solution. It also depends on the type of hair loss the patient is facing. So remember to enquire about this procedure if you are looking for hair transplantation.
