LOW DOSE HAIR LASER
Every day, most people lose about 100 hairs from their scalp. While the majority of people grow those hairs grow back, some people don’t due to:
- age
- heredity
- hormonal changes
- medical conditions, such as lupus and diabetes
- poor nutrition
- side effects of a medical treatment, such as chemotherapy
- stress
Treatments to stop hair loss and possibly reverse it include:
- medications such as minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia)
- hair transplant surgery
- laser therapy
DOES LASER TREATMENT FOR HAIR LOSS WORK?
WHAT IT DOES
Low-level laser therapy — also referred to as red light therapy and cold laser therapy — irradiates photons into scalp tissues. These photons are absorbed by weak cells to encourage hair growth.
It’s widely accepted that the procedure is safe, tolerable, and less invasive than hair transplant surgery.
THE THEORY
The theory of laser treatment for hair loss is that the low-dose laser treatments invigorate circulation and stimulation that encourages hair follicles to grow hair.
