The use of lasers on your balding scalp might be a frightening thought. However low level laser therapy (LLLT) is a very effective way to treat hair loss. A scientist in Hungary in 1967 found that laser light was successful in renewing hair growth. The laser beam generates energy that increases the blood flow to the scalp, which stimulates the hair follicles. There is no sensation to the scalp because it is a “cold light” laser.
The laser hair therapy treatment is usually 2-3 visits per week for 20-25 minutes each. It can take up 4-6 months to complete with some appointments thereafter to maintain growth. Low-level laser treatment is successful for both male and female pattern baldness. It is not used for hair loss due to other factors. It is painless and has no adverse effects.
The result often produces shinier and thicker hair than the hair that was lost! For this procedure to be successful it is critical that a professional uses the correct wattage of the laser light that is needed. Are you suffering from male or female pattern baldness? Laser therapy may be right for you.
