Some myths and clarifications about the laser hair transplant surgery

When we entered the 21st century, everything has been changed now either it is a technological field or medical field. Every old method is replaced with a new and less harmful technique.  Nowadays people prefer laser treatment for hair transplant surgery, so the lasers are now replacing the utilization of the traditional scalpels tools and other surgical apparatus when it comes to surgeries. Due to its effectiveness, the laser has long been used in the cosmetic surgery procedure as a more precise and noninvasive cutting surgical procedure. But, when it comes to hair transplant surgeries, is using a laser method a better option in hair restoration surgery?

In a laser hair restoration surgery, the laser rays are used only for making the slits in the patient’s scalp so that the donor hair will be easily transplanted into these open slits. The strong rays of laser are not used to divide the hair follicles into small units, which are used in the transplantation. Therefore, the term laser hair restoration is a bit deceptive as the laser treatment plays a very diminutive role in the hair transplant method.

There are so many myths about a laser hair restoration that should be fully cleared up before a patient goes through a hair transplant with this method. One of the common myths is that using a laser ray makes a hair restoration surgery a painless and easy procedure. As with a normal scalpel, the scalp’s area, which will cut by the laser, always feel the pain. A good local anesthetic is still essential for the hair loss patient to feel relaxed during the procedure.
