We know light can heal. This is the premise for laser treatment for stimulating new hair growth. The basic theory is that laser treatment (light) is linked to cell function. Encouraging healthy cell function should work to promote regeneration of healthy hair.

Laser hair loss treatment is efficient as it has low power requirements. The therapy utilizes different light doses to produce the desired effect on the scalp and balding areas. Laser treatments typically take about 30 minutes and should be done for 9 to 10 weeks and in some cases, more. For the treatment to be of benefit, the proper amount of light must be concentrated on the problem areas.

An added benefit of laser hair loss treatment would be an improvement general overall health of the scalp. If dandruff has been an issue, it will be reduced or eliminated. If all goes well, after the 9 week period, you should see hair growth beginning in bald spots and re-growth being generated in spots that were thinning. The remainder of your hair should experience a growth spurt, as well as thicker hair strands. After the initial hair re-growth, follow-up and maintenance appointments with laser light therapy are recommended as well as “booster” treatments once a mongh for continued hair re-generation.

Just as sunlight, through the process known as photosynthesis, helps plants grow and thrive, the energy of light through laser treatment can help aid in the healing of human injuries. Studies about this are soon to be published in scientific journals.

There is a new FDA-approved laser treatment called a “Lasercomb”. The comb works only if you have significant areas of hair left on your scalp. As you comb through your hair, the laser is supposed to be directed at your hair follicles to stimulate new hair growth. This technology is not cheap, the combs cost as much as $500. Directions tell you not to use it daily, only for a few days per week for about 15 minutes per day. It will take approximately three to six months using a Lasercomb to actually determine if this treatment is working for your hair.

A possible alternative solution for both men and women suffering from hair loss could be laser therapy. This will take both time and money, and is certainly not an immediate fix.  If you are looking for something more “instant”, contact Fantasia and talk with one of our Hair Support Specialist, they would be happy to help you with a solution that will work for you and give you immediate results.
