There is another innovative hair restoration technique we have not discussed. Laser hair therapy is one of the latest and most popular treatments for thinning hair.

Many men and women are regaining confidence through these treatments and; with more than half of the men and women in the United States experiencing hair loss, this is a big deal!

Laser hair therapy is a non-invasive approach to stimulate hair growth with no side effects. There is also no pain and no down time. Using laser light, laser hair therapy applies the same principles to hair that photosynthesis does to plants. Hopefully you can remember back to science class when we learned about this process. Laser hair therapy stimulates protein synthesis in cells to create a healthier, thicker head of hair. This process is referred to as “photo bio” stimulation.

The best candidates for laser hair therapy are those with thinning hair and those with scalp disorders. The procedure increases blood flow to the scalp and boosts cell metabolism. This creates more energy for the hair follicles. A patient must have functioning hair follicles in order for this therapy to work. If a person has been bald for awhile, laser hair therapy would not be a good option.

Laser hair therapy is a welcome alternative to hair transplants and has been used successfully in Europe for the past ten years. A good nutritional program for the scalp such as Hair Support System would work well in conjunction with laser hair therapy.

For those of us who prefer non-invasive solutions, this just may be a good one to consider.
