The Facts About Laser Treatment For Hair Loss
If you are loosing your hair you may want to try laser treatment to combat nature. The top hair clinics and salons in Europe, Asia, and around the world have been using laser treatment for hair loss for years. Laser hair loss treatment is a form of laser technology, also called low level laser therapy that uses the natural benefits of light to help grow hair. It is a non-surgical procedure that can be done either in a salon or at home using a hand-held laser called a laser comb that has been around for two decades. The do-it-yourself option is less costly and more convenient than going to a salon.
The Science
Studies have shown that using laser treatment for hair loss may stop or reverse the cycle of growth of thin, fine hairs by stimulating the follicle and speeding up the production of living cells in the hair root that grows into the hair shaft (the hair you eventually see on your head). The use of lasers has also been linked to have an increase in adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which helps the cells to grow into healthier, thicker hair.
The laser comb uses soft, rotating, low-light lasers that are emitted to the scalp. The salons use large, stationary laser lights that you sit under. The cold, non-irritating lasers improve the scalp's circulation (a known hair-growth method that helps the hair absorb more oxygen and nutrients) and provides nourishment to the hair that it usually gets from prolonged exposure to the sun. This increased blood flow also helps to carry away waste products that block the production and effects of good growth hormones such as DHT and ATP. This process will have to be repeated three to four times a week for a year to see the full results.
The Results
This nourishment and stimulation leads to better hair growth in most patients. Within the first month or two of using the laser hair loss treatment, users will start to find that their hair is thicker and shinier. The hair will also become strong, resisting breaks and splits.
Note that laser combs and lights will not work on dead hair roots. To determine the cause of your hair loss it would be best to consult your dermatologist before buying a laser hair loss treatment.
If you are persistent and diligent, laser treatment may be just what you need to combat your hair loss.
