Since lasers are attracted to the melanin in hair and gray hair has no melanin, lasers are not efficacious in treating gray hair. In fact, some people erroneously think that the laser treatments turned their hair gray. However, the laser has successfully removed the hair with pigment, leaving the gray or white hair remaining.

Melanin is the pigment that determines your natural hair color. As we age, the levels of melanin in our body start to decrease which in turn causes your hair to go gray.

Lasers are optical devices which produce intense coherent, collimated and mono-chromatic beams of light. A laser consists of an active medium such as a crystal, gas or liquid that amplifies light when excited by an external energy source (a flash amp or electric discharge, for example). When the appropriate medium is employed, the laser can be fine-tuned to generate a very narrow band of light wavelengths (such as the individual colors of the visible spectrum).

Gray hair is a sign of aging, and premature graying of hair is mostly caused by hereditary. The reason that hair turns gray is that the hair follicle looses the ability to pigment the hair with age.

Hair is made of protein containing a natural coloring substance called melanin (pronounced mel-a-nin). Melanin is the same no matter what color your hair is or regardless if you are male or female. Different hair colors are the result of different amounts of melanin--dark brown or black hair simply has more melanin than light brown or blond hair. In time, as melanin decreases, gray hair appears. Most people get a few scattered gray hairs first.

Minoxidil (Rogaine), approved as a baldness treatment in 1988, was the first truly effective treatment in the long history of remedies for hair loss.

The difference is that laser hair transplantation uses a machine that shoots a beam of high energy light burning slits or holes in the scalp, while cold steel is used to make slits conventionally.
