Will it Grow Hair? Is it Safe? |
|
There's no doubt that light does have a beneficial effect on the human
body. And it's been known for over 200 years that a lack of sunlight can have a negative effect on your body's biochemistry. Your hair will grow quicker during the summer than it does in the winter. That's because the extra daylight you obtain will produce an improved blood supply to your hair follicles. |
And it's the red light in sunlight that makes this happen.
Lasers have already been used in Eastern Europe for about 25 years to help speed up the healing process in various diseases. But, they can also be used to provide an effective form of hair loss treatment.
How Does Laser Hair Loss Treatment Work?
It uses low-level infrared light energy - this will heat and massage the scalp, and also expand the pores of the skin.
Blood supply to the scalp follicles will then increase, and this allows more nutrients to be absorbed. Cell metabolism is also stimulated which encourages tissue to regenerate.
As a result, the hair you already have can grow thicker and stronger than it did before treatment began. It can also reduce the amount of hair loss you suffer.
| (Since laser hair loss treatment also has a skin healing benefit, it
can be used to assist recovery of the scalp following hair transplant
surgery).
The lasers that are used encourage hair growth because they produce pure red light at just the right frequency to stimulate and regenerate the hair. But, this type of treatment is much more effective when used with minoxidil (Rogaine in the US and Regaine in the UK). Also, a 5 alpha reductase/DHT blocker such as finasteride (Propecia) and a high level of scalp hygiene will also help. A multi-pronged approach like this will produce much better results than if only one type of non-surgical therapy is used. Laser hair loss treatment is also known as Soft laser, Low-power laser, or Low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Procedure A patient will typically sit underneath a dome shaped device with approximately 30 low light level lasers flashing away inside. Each laser may also move so that several hundred different locations within your scalp can be reached during each session. Is laser hair loss treatment painful? No. It's a non-invasive procedure (i.e., unlike hair transplant treatment) and so you can get on with your life as normal as soon as each session is over. |
Is it safe? - The lasers that are used need less energy than a 40-watt light bulb - this therapy has been tested and proven safe. There are no side effects, and the only safety precaution is to avoid looking directly into the laser beams.

Does it work for everyone? - Results
will vary from person to person (as is the case with all forms of
treatment). But, various studies have taken place, and some demonstrate that more than 90% of users can achieve some positive benefits. And, over 40% noticed improvements in their hair within 6 weeks of starting treatment. Laser hair loss treatment is aimed towards those who have just begun to lose hair and suffer thinning of hair, and so not yet ready to try a (much more radical) hair transplant or replacement procedure. How much treatment is needed? - The number of sessions required will vary from person to person depending upon the extent of your hair loss. However, usually between 25 and 50 sessions may be needed over an extended period. Cost - Laser hair loss treatment is very expensive. Whilst the number of sessions can vary between patients, usually at least 25 will be needed. This could cost over US$4500 (£2500). This type of treatment might be the right choice for you depending upon whether you can afford it, prefer a less intrusive non-surgical form of therapy, and believe that it will give you satisfactory results. With as many as 50 sessions required for laser hair loss treatment, the inconvenience of so many trips to the clinic has fuelled the demand for self-help products that allow laser treatment to take place at home.
