Laser Therapy: Increasing In Popularity as a Hair Loss Treatment

Now that Laser therapy has been approved by the FDA as an effective hair loss treatment it looks set to become the treatment of choice. It benefits from having no side effects and visible results after just a few weeks.

Today, Kyle is preaching the benefits of laser hair treatments. That's because he gave up his general practice and for about the past six months has run his own business, the Inner Beauty Medical Spa in Tulare.

What he uses for the treatments is the Revage670 laser machine, which he described as the best of the bunch among all the available lasers used to stimulate hair follicles to help them grow hair.

He said 85 percent of patients who use laser hair loss treatment see an increase in hair counts and growth. And there is a 90 percent success rate just to prevent hair loss.

"The patients I'm treating now are very self-conscious about their hair loss," Kyle said. "But, they are very happy with the results; they say their hair feels healthier and thicker and they can tell the treatments are doing something for them."

Hair Transplant Question: Which Technique Gives Better Results

There are two different techniques used for transplant surgery one involved using needles the other uses scalpel blades.

The following question was recently posed as to which technique was more effective and gave the best results.
clipped from www.regrowhair.com

I have noticed that of hair transplant photos posted where needles are used instead of blades to make recipient sites for the transplanted hair, there appears to be MUCH more redness.  The redness also seems to last longer post-op.  Is this because the needle hair transplant doctor is transplanting hair at greater hair density or does the needle cause more scalp trauma?

Blades versus Needles in Creating Recipient Sites in the Balding Areas in order to Transplant Hair

Our hair transplant clinic has used both needles and blades for many years. In a large number of hair transplant patients, we have used both and see no difference in postoperative healing or redness. When patients come back in for followup when the hair is growing in, there is no difference in the appearance of the hair in blade areas compared to needle areas.
