Senior Member ready4Hair Posted February 17, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2015 I know there are differing opinions on whether LLLT grows hair or not, but it seems indisputable from multiple studies that it aids in skin/cell healing after surgery (not specifically hair transplants). I'd like to get a good laser cap for post surgery, if it doesn't help at all I don't mind the expense to try to to get a better result out of a $15k surgery. However I don't want to do anything that could REVERSE gains or hurt the grafts. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I can of course ask the surgeon but so far every one has given me a different opinion whether it grows hair and whether to do pre-surgery ('yes, prepares recipient donor tissue', 'no increases micro-circulation and therefore bleeding') I was looking for anyone with scientific, empirical or anecdotal evidence. http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=3054 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member sl Posted February 17, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi ready4hair As anecdotal, I used LLLT after my last surgery, 7th one in total, and I noticed it sped up post op healing and I did so after reading a lot on it and post surgery benefits and trials etc. You do need to ask your doctor/clinic as they may have caveats post surgery for using LLLT but I tried as I was asked a lot about it and can say my healing was very fast.

Senior Member GreatPelo Posted February 18, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2015 Can speed up healing and produces more blood to area so it can actually produce quicker growth. Consult with your hair doctor first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member sl Posted November 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) I was on it by day 5 from memory....this was my own decision and I took the teeth of the comb so it was flat and used it. My growth and healing was very good. Edited November 19, 2022 by sl I represent Dr. Bisanga.
