Laser Hair Transplants

The first surgeons to use a C02 laser in hair transplanting were Dr. Walter Unger and Dr. Larry David, working together in Los Angeles in September 1992. Despite advertisements and media reports that suggest laser transplanting produces superior results with less bleeding and pain you should know that such claims are as yet not confirmed. The C02 laser is a very promising tool that has not yet been completely perfected for hair transplanting. At this point in time lasers do not produce a superior result to using scalpels and steel blades, and unfortunately have been used more as a marketing tool.
