Is it Safe to Use the Laser Comb After a Hair Transplant?
Some hair restoration physicians support the use of low level laser therapy after hair transplantation to facilitate the healing of the wounds in the balding recipient area. And some hair transplant surgeons believe that low level laser therapy will help stimulate new hair growth, especially now that it has been FDA approved as a hair loss treatment. Learn more about low level laser therapy.
It is perfectly safe to use the laser comb after hair restoration surgery as long as the bristles of the brush are not touching the transplanted hair until they are properly secured which takes about ten days. During the first ten days, lift the laser comb up slightly so that the brush doesn’t connect with the hair grafts to ensure a hair graft isn’t dislodged before it’s properly secured in the scalp.

Mohammad,
Yes, hair transplants are still an option when laser treatment doesn’t regrow hair. The effects of low level laser therapy (LLLT) on your hair loss has no bearing on your candidacy for hair transplant surgery.
In order to learn more about hair transplantation and find out if you are a candidate, I suggest that you consult one of our prescreened quality hair restoration physicians. You can even schedule a free online consultations with the physicians of your choice.
