Traction alopecia
Can the laser comb stimulate temple hair loss due to traction alopecia?
Laser can be helpful in stimulating additional growth in the temples. However, if the follicles are "dead and gone" (damaged beyond repair), you will likely need some degree of transplantation. The more hair you can stimulate with Laser Therapy and Minoxidil, the less transplantation you will need. Most patients require a combination of therapy (invasive and non-invasive techniques).
If you can provide a photo to doctorb@baumanmedical.com, I can give you a better idea of what can (and cannot) be accomplished with the various treatments.
Sincerely,
Dr. B.

P.S. I have a good example of a female patient with "traction alopecia" treated with transplantation on my website on this page:
