I've heard so much about HT,,.... how about laser? I prefer laser as there's not surgery,... but is it as effective?

hairless,

Welcome to the forums,

There is some controversy over laser technology right now...especially since there has been some information where laser treatments have been FDA approved for hairloss. I personally haven't seen or heard anyone have any success in regrowing any hair using laser technology, and IMO, I feel it's a waste of time other than using it as a healing agent after an HT, which some HT doctors swear by (and after seeing some before/after pics of the healing with and without laser, I tend to agree that it has some benefit there).

IMO, I would get on finasteride, consider minoxodil, but none of these will give you the amount of hair a transplant will. Without knowing much about your situation, age, norwood level, family history of hairloss, I could not give you any advice about whether you are a candidate for an HT.
