Laser Hair Therapy

Pattern baldness, or alopecia, is one of the most prevalent types of male and female hair loss. It affects approximately 85% of men and 40% of women by age 50.

One solution to reduce the effects of alopecia is laser hair loss treatment, a non-invasive and safe procedure where advanced red-light therapy helps to prevent hair fall out and encourage new growth.

Laser for hair loss is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved restoration option that’s safe, painless, and produces long-lasting and life-changing results.

It helps to reactivate dormant hair follicles that aren’t producing new growth and regenerate them, and is suitable for treating:

Laser hair regrowth therapy, also referred to as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or red-light therapy, is a non-surgical hair loss treatment method. It uses medical-grade lasers emitting safe, low-level light onto the scalp to reactivate and stimulate hair follicles. The cells absorb the light photons and encourage them to repair themselves to kick-start the natural hair growth cycle. It can also help to increase blood flow and circulation to the scalp. This is vital as it ensures that more nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the hair follicles, creating a healthy environment for hair regrowth.

Laser treatments for hair growth are one of the most popular and effective solutions for restoration, especially for those who don’t want to undergo surgery or take medication. LLLT can also be used following FUE hair transplants to achieve the best hair restoration results possible. It’s an excellent option for those in the early stages of hair loss or who suffer from mild thinning or receding. Laser hair therapy can also successfully combat common conditions like male and female pattern hair loss. However, laser hair treatments can be less effective in cases of severe hair loss, and we’d suggest enquiring about a FUE hair transplant as an alternative.

Laser hair therapy uses therapeutic pure red lights to penetrate deep into the tissues of the scalp, stimulating blood circulation, cell metabolism, and protein synthesis. This increases the number of red blood cells that deliver vital oxygen and nutrients around the body. The result is a restorative and reparative chain reaction that clears debris from the hair shafts, swells the cortex, and closes the cuticle – leading to a healthier scalp that looks and feels softer, thicker, shinier, and easier to manage.

If LLLT is completed regularly, the laser light strengthens and regenerates the hair roots. This slows or arrests and, in some cases, reverses the degenerative cycle where the hair grows for several years, falls out, and then is not replaced as the follicles are dormant. Once the hair roots are dead, nothing can be done to restore them, so the sooner laser hair treatment is started, the better the hair restoration results are.

Clinical studies also suggest that the cellular and sub-cellular activity resulting from the laser light breaks down dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone primarily responsible for male and female pattern hair loss; therefore, lower levels of DHT can help decrease the appearance of alopecia conditions.
