Importance of Laser Treatment

[OneHairLeft]

I am getting my HT many miles from home so going back for laser hair treatment afterwards is not an option for me even though the HT comes with six laser treatments.

 

How important is the laser treatment? Should I find someone in my hometown and then go do the laser treatment with them?

In my opinion, laser treatment is not important in the least for hair growth. Some do believe it aids in post-surgical healing but I did not undergo any laser therapy after my hair transplants.

Onehair,

 

Laser treatment (sometimes known as Low Lever Laser Therapy or LLLT) is a pretty controversial topic in the hair restoration community. Some believe it is a valid therapy for stimulating follicular growth and aiding in post-operative healing, while others believe it is simply ineffective and not recommended.

 

Frankly, I've seen some pretty convincing evidence that LLLT is not an effective hair restoration treatment and have NOT seen conclusive or persuasive counter evidence refuting these findings.

 

Regardless of whether or not you believe LLLT is effective, one thing is certain: our network hosts thousands of hair transplant cases from patients who have undergone surgery without adjunct laser therapy and still managed to achieve excellent results. For me, this is the most convincing proof that surgical hair restoration can stand alone as a restorative therapy. Personally, I'd feel comfortable moving forward with this information.

 

I hope this helps!

Dr. Feller basically disproved the laser treatment theory. If your grafts are going to grow they will do so without laser treatment.
