How Effective Is Laser Hair Loss Treatment?

We naturally shed our hair at the rate of several dozen in a day's time. It is nothing to be worried about if you see several hair strands in your comb or brush every time you fix your hair. Even when you bathe there may be several strands of hair that come off. In spite of these natural occurrences you do need to worry when the hair loss becomes too excessive and if there is no replacement hair growing back from where the other fell. There is a difference between hair loss and baldness. Hair loss can be treated because the hair roots and follicles are still in place compared to baldness where the roots and/or follicles not there anymore.

Natural hair loss treatments may work for some people while others do not. Most of the chemically formulated hair loss treatments really work to some degree but only if you continuously apply the product for as long as you want results. Laser hair loss treatment is also available to treat hair loss.

This latest laser hair loss treatment utilizes low level, infrared cool laser light technology for therapeutic purposes on the hair and scalp. Laser light therapy, as it is called, promotes healthier, fuller and thicker hair.

This laser hair loss treatment machine functions by directly applying the cool infrared laser to the scalp via the hair hood. The direct application of the cool laser onto the scalp stimulates blood flow and increases promotion of hair growth.

You will need eye protection once you are placed under the laser hood to prevent any damage to the eyes during the exposure to the cool infrared laser.
