Over the last five years, the options have expanded for people who are dealing with hair loss. One of the most interesting, and effective, innovations has been the Laser Cap. The Laser Cap first arrived in 2006 and technology has meant major improvements to the Laser Cap.
The Laser Cap uses a highly specialized laser to help patients grow hair—then keep that new hair. How does it work? The key technology is called Low-Level Laser Therapy or LLLT, for short.
Using low-level lasers working specific wavelengths, LLLT actually changes the functioning of cells. Interestingly, LLLT has also been used effectively to treat additional medical conditions including chronic pain, arthritis, and neck pain.
LLLT for hair loss treatment quickly gained national, and international attention. And hundreds of thousands of patients around the world have enjoyed hair re-growth with the help of LLLT. In fact, the Laser Comb was the first ever LLLT medical device the FDA approved for hair loss treatment; this occurred in 2007 and the Laser Comb has improved greatly since that time.
In studies, 93% of patients who try LLLT reported an increase in terminal (thick) hairs. There are several benefits to LLLT.
• No drugs
• Non-invasive treatment
• Pain-free treatment
• Convenient
To get the treatment, a full analysis of your hair loss and scalp is an important first step. If the doctor believes LLLT Laser Comb therapy will be effective, you'll need to visit a specialist hair restoration clinic for a prescribed number of sessions. Treatments last approximately 20 minutes.
In some instances, you may not need to visit a clinic, making LLLT even more convenient. You can take a Laser Comb with you or you can try a Laser Cap—which is just that—the LLLT laser in the form of a cap worn over the scalp.
Wear the Laser Cap by itself or put the Laser Cap under another piece of headwear. In some instances, the Laser Comb can safely deliver up to 40 times the power of the Laser Comb. The Laser Cap is unobtrusive and there's no need to visit a hair restoration clinic. You can also use the laser cap in combination with other hair loss therapies.
If you're losing hair and want to restore your hair, LLLT may be a good option to consider.
