Hair Laser Therapy
Many people try to stop hair loss. There is an abundant amount of hair loss remedies in the market today. The basic components in hair loss treatments that have been approved by the FDA are Minoxidil and Propecia. Minoxidil is used to stimulate hair growth and Propecia works as a DHT inhibitor. Both men and women can use Minoxidil; men can use Propecia only.
Some users report satisfaction using one or a combination of both hair loss drugs. If using Minoxidil however, the hair loss amount can only be reduced, not eliminated completely. There is no simple remedy to stop hair loss completely until now.
Laser treatment in the form of LLLT is being used to stop hair loss substantially. Low level laser therapy, (LLLT), is based on the scientific principal of photo-biotherapy. Photo-biotherapy occurs when laser light is absorbed by the cells in the scalp which causes stimulation of cell metabolism and improves blood flow. For hair treatment, the laser light should reach the hair bulbs, which are located about 5-6 mm under the surface of the skin.
Hair laser therapy can be done in a clinic, comfortably seated under a revolving laser machine. There are also laser combs available, which can be used at home at regular intervals. Both utilize low level laser therapy (LLLT) technology. Low-level laser treatment of hair loss is painless and non-toxic. Many clinics and hair loss treatment centers now provide laser treatment as an additional treatment to their patients. The laser treatment is used to prevent further hair loss. It also stimulates new hair growth, due to improved and increased blood circulation in the scalp. Hair growth is generally obvious in 3 to 6 months.
With over 17 years of clinical experience the results seen are both exciting and impressive. Results have shown that both men and women of all ages respond with positive benefits to laser therapy. Users range in age from 18 to their late 80's.
User feedback collected to date suggests that more than 90% of users achieve positive benefits and results. In general about 45% of laser treatment users see noticeable indications of benefits within the first 6 weeks. Another 45% realize indications from 6-12 weeks. A small group of users take longer to see results with noticeable improvements at around 12 weeks.
Hair loss treatment centers are also now using laser hair combs to reduce the hair loss amount, in addition to tonics and natural herb extracts to accelerate the process. Combining both treatments make a good combination in overcoming hair loss.
Useful tips for using laser treatments at home using laser hair combs:
*Wash your hair
*Dry it before applying cleanser (using hair dryer with cold air is recommended to save time)
*Do laser treatment not more than 10 minutes
*Apply hair tonic or serum to increase hair growth.
