| To achieve this result, I used a narrow band filter
of that absorbs all light waves above and below 470 nanometers. This means it
transmits only light waves in the narrow range (plus or minus 10 nanometers)
above and below 470 nanometers. The absorbed frequencies of light are converted
to heat. The incident light was from a fiber optic source that emitted white
light. When the white light passed through the narrow band filter of 470
nanometers, the transmitted light was in the cyan range on the electromagnetic
spectrum. The light was passed into a structure I created and called the
Glow Chamber. This structure emitted the cyan light and took
advantage of transmission, refraction, and color subtraction to create contrast
between the white hair and the surround tissue. From the photograph below you
see that the white hairs appear cyan and the surrounding tissue appears more of
a green color. This resulted in contrast that makes the dissection of white
hairs easier. As you can see the white hair appears to glow and jump out at the
viewer. This is why I named the structure the Glow Chamber.
Here you see a similar graft to those above with one pigmented hair and one
non-pigmented or white hair. The difference and clarity of the white hair in our
Glow Chamber is unsurpassed.
In summary it is possible to use technological advancements to improve the results of your hair transplant. One of these advancements is nanotechnology, which allows us to add color and contrast to otherwise non-pigmented structures. It is possible to create a light source that each white hair would absorb, but the intensity of the light would most likely destroy the hair. Therefore, for now, we must settle with the principals outlined in this discussion. In the last photograph we show the same two hairs shown earlier in this discussion, only this time we have used light waves alone to give the hair color and greater contrast.
