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.
