What is Laser hair replacement

Many people suffer from hair loss. Many have tried other forms of treatment and have found that they have not worked for them. Perhaps they have experienced adverse side effects from prescribed medications or have not had any real results. They may not be interested in a wig or toupee. People who experience hair loss can now look to laser hair replacement as an option for their hair loss.

Laser Hair Replacement, How Does It Work?

To answer this question we must begin with why you are experiencing hair loss. For many people it may be due to heredity or genetic make up. They experience cells for hair growth that are unhealthy and will not promote growth of hair. This will cause the receding hairlines and baldness. Others may have hair loss due to medications and medical disorders such as Alopecia, which is often due to a virus. Stress and anxiety can also cause hair loss. These reasons for hair loss are important due to the fact that they can cause the destruction of healthy hair and skin cells.

Laser hair replacement is a procedure that kills the old skin cells on the head and scalp. By ridding the scalp of these old non hair producing cells, it will make way for the healthy cells to continue to grow hair. By removing these cells with the laser, the area will have the ability to grow new healthy cells that will produce hair. The laser will not hurt existing healthy cells and in fact will make them healthier through an increase of blood flow. As the dying cells go away, it will allow the ability for new hair cells to form. This procedure will slow down the process of hair loss and to stimulate healthy hair. The cost can vary from clinic to clinic, but it can range from $1,500 to $3,000. A person will probably need to have monthly visits to continue the benefits. It is a relatively pain free procedure for a person to experience.

This option of hair loss treatment is actually a surgical procedure that will assist in restoring a natural head of hair.  This procedure entails the grafting of healthy hair from the back of the scalp.  Tiny incisions are made with the laser and individual hair follicles are inserted.   A person may require several sessions of grafting the hair based on the size of the area to be replaced.  Normally around three to five hundred grafts can be done in one sitting.  The patient is under a local anesthesia and will experience little bleeding due to using the laser.  Once the grafts are completed, the person will begin to enjoy a natural and growing head of hair.  It may take several months for the scalp to totally fill in.  Many people have felt it is worth the wait to have a permanent solution to their hair loss issue.  The cost of this procedure is around $3,000, depending on the severity of the hair loss as well as how many sessions will be required.

Both the laser hair replacement and laser hair replacement surgery are excellent options for anyone experiencing hair loss.  Ask your doctor to recommend a laser hair replacement center and begin to explore these options.
