The laser works by using a beam of very high energy to burn a hole in the skin. The beauty of follicular unit transplantation is that the tiny follicular unit grafts can fit into very small sites that are made with a needle slit rather than by an instrument that removes healthy tissue.

Complications such as infection or bleeding are possible following any surgical procedure but in hair transplantation they are infrequent, usually minor and can be well handled by the surgeon and his nursing staff.

He will then examine your scalp, take into account various factors such as your age, skin colour, hair characteristics and balding pattern and advise on advisability of a hair transplant.
