Many men are searching for information regarding laser hair transplant and the pros and cons attached but there needs to be some clarification as to what laser hair transplant actually is. The laser used in hair transplants is the tool used to make the incisions or slits so that the hair can be transplanted into the scalp. Using a laser makes these cuts smaller than the traditional scalpel with less pain and blood loss. Healing time is also drastically reduced using this method.

So in actual fact the term "laser hair transplant" is incorrect. It has been this mis-information which has caused thousands of men to make the wrong choices when it comes to a hair transplant. What you should be investigating is "laser assisted hair transplants".

This is where, as stated before, that laser is used to make incisions for the procedure. What it does is that it vapourises the tissue. With the latest lasers, this is virtually painless as the pulse of the laser is short thus minimizing heat transfer etc. Some local anesthesia is used the make the area numb before the procedure begins.

Laser used in a hair transplant has not gained the acceptance of the majority as yet. Many leading doctors prefer to use other methods but there are a small group of surgeons who have documented proof that laser is the most effective tool to use in hair transplant.

There are many resources to continue your search for laser assisted hair transplant methods. Good luck in your quest.
