What is Laser Light Hair Therapy?
Low Levels Lasers are "soft" or "cold" lasers that do not have the thermal component to cut or burn tissue. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is based on the scientific principle of photobio-therapy, which occurs when laser light is absorbed by cells.
LLLT was first used to treat ulcers in diabetics with poor blood supply. The lasers improved blood flow - and an astonishing side effect was noticed: where the laser beam was focused, body hair grew thicker and longer than the surrounding hair!
In clinical studies, laser light has been proven to stimulate cellular metabolism, protein synthesis, and tissue and cartilage regeneration, while dramatically increasing blood supply to targetedareas. LLLT has been used effectively to treat hair loss throughout Europe for over a decade. The laser device we use is a Class IIIA laser deemed GRAS (generally regarded as safe) for cosmetic use by the FDA.
Our Laser Hair Program
During your initial consultation, you will be given a Capillicare Diagnostic Test (see below) to determine the nature of you hair loss. Our consultant, trained by a board-certified trichologist , will recommend a prescribed regime of treatment to remedy your hair loss. For the best overall therapy, our program combines all these features:
- FDA-approved activators
- Proven DHT blocking agents
- Natural topical agents
- A regular course of laser treatment
- Periodic Capillicare tests to monitor you progress
andDetermine if any change in therapy is indicated.
This is the best regimen that we have discovered to stop hair loss and promote growth.
Your initial program includes laser treatments two or three times a week at first, then tapering throughout the regimen. Each session is 15 minutes in length. Your consultant may recommend additional treatments or make changes to this protocol based on your specific results.
You can see the result with the Hair and Scalp Diagnosis
The Hair and Scalp Diagnosis takes magnified photos of various scalp areas to determine a baseline reading of you hair density and thickness. We will conduct these tests throughout your treatment to compare diameter change and detect new hair growth. When we show the photos side by side on your monitor, the dramatic results of progress are obvious.
