Laser-assisted autologous hair transplantation with the Er:YAG laser.
Autologous hair transplantation has become an established therapy for irreversible alopecia. With the advent of CO2 lasers, new procedures have developed. However, CO2 lasers are associated with some disadvantages, and the introduction of the erbium YAG laser has led to further improvements. A case illustration of this technique is given here, and a study of 50 patients has been initiated to further evaluate the potential of this laser.
