Hair Growth Treatments: How Do They Help You

Hair loss has become a major concern for today's youth. If you are looking to grow your hair back and prevent thinning, laser hair therapy may be right for you. The laser hair regrowth treatment device is designed for home use, or as part of a larger hair treatment program in the salon. It's quick and easy, which means it won't disrupt your weekly schedule. Low-intensity laser therapy (LLLT) is increasingly being used to promote hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia.

How it works

Laser hair therapy uses a medical-grade laser to deliver safe, low-intensity laser light to your scalp. Laser therapy is similar to watering a plant. Just as the plant absorbs water and nutrients, the light energy is absorbed by the hair follicles, allowing the hair to continue to grow. As the light is absorbed, microcirculation increases, which distributes a richer blood supply and nutrients to the hair follicles. The low intensity laser stimulates cellular activity in the hair follicle to help reduce hair loss while aiding hair regrowth.

Who is the best candidate

In general, laser hair therapy is suitable for men and women who have noticed thinning of all hair lengths. This may mean that they are in the early stages of hair loss. Low-intensity laser therapy is best suited for patients with androgenetic alopecia.

The Basics

Laser hair loss treatments are designed to increase blood circulation and stimulate the growth of new hair.

Many laser products are available to treat hair loss, including handheld devices, laser caps, and larger devices used in salons and clinics.

Unlike hair loss medications such as finasteride, laser treatments will not lower your DHT levels or affect your hormones in any way.

The scientific research on laser hair loss treatments is currently limited, but largely positive. Many studies have shown positive results, although laser treatments have not been as thoroughly tested as hair loss medications.

The price of laser hair loss treatments may vary depending on your location and the number of sessions you need. The higher end of home laser devices range in price from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars.

Laser hair loss treatments have several advantages. However, they are also expensive and far less convenient than medications. If you have hair loss and want to take action, it's best to discuss your options with your healthcare provider. Or contact one of our specialists for advice and a quote on a machine.
