Laser Hair Transplants (replacement - restoration) were first introduced years ago to try to increase the technology of transplanting
hair to a new level.
What was later discovered is using the laser to make the aperture (where the graft is implanted) lowered the survival
success rate by as much as 40-percent. This was caused by a lack of blood flow to the new graft after being implanted into the laser
created aperture. The laser hair beam actually cauterized the area, stopping the blood flow that a brand new graft needs to survive.
Unfortunately,
the public was already sold on this so called "new technology." When offices all around the world started advertising Laser Hair Transplants
(Replacement - Restoration) as the newest advancement in hair transplants, potential patients liked hearing those words. In fact,
this phrase "Laser Hair Transplants" (restoration - replacement) is used as one of the biggest selling tools to get new patients in
the door or to call.
The truth about this new found laser hair transplantation (replacement - restoration) technology is that in order
for the grafts to get back up to their approximately 95% or more survival rate, the physician needed to go back into the same aperture
that was just made with a laser. With a small, blade type instrument, doctors would make a little slit that would allow the new graft
to have a source of nourishment or blood flow. If this was not done then the patient would end up having very low growth or approximately
60% or less success rate!
The great sales tool of laser hair transplant (replacement - restoration) technology is still used today
to get the phones ringing and convince patients to have their procedures done with a clinic that used this method.
Those who use this
so called "advanced technology" do not want the public to know this information.
The best way is to make the smallest non-detectable
slit or aperture in the beginning is without a laser. The "tried and true way," using certain micro needle blade like instruments,
is still the best method since it allows transplanted grafts to immediately receive the nourishment of blood supply and heal with
the highest survival rate and have the most undetectable appearance.
Lasers are a great and wonderful tool of this current era for
all kinds of different procedures. But, they should not be used for laser hair transplants (replacement - restoration) as a selling
tool just to get patients in the door and be made to think they are getting the best type of procedure available.
