Laser treatment for hair loss aka Low Level laser Therapy (LLLT) is a method used in addition to other treatments. It has existed for more than 30 years, mainly in European countries, but nowadays it is gaining popularity in the US as well. This type of treatment is completely pain-free and has no major side effects. It has been proven to work in many scientific studies.
LLLT is applied using a special comb. This comb will use laser technology to heat the scalp and massage it gently. It uses soft low-light lasers that are emitted by special rotating laser positions. Doing this will expand the pores. LLLT combs also emit infrared energy which increases the metabolism of the scalp and improves blood circulation. The laser treatment will make the scalp healthier and has been said to even reverse hair loss.
In order to be effective the laser comb has to be distributed at the right wavelength. If it is not the treatment will be useless. This is why many of the cheap laser combs being sold on the market are a waste of money.
People who use the laser comb can expect to see slight improvements at first. They may notice that their hair is slightly thicker and stronger. After several months results should get more noticeable.
Laser treatments for hair loss may be an effective method and a good alternative to hair replacement surgery. Still, you should do your homework before buying a laser comb, as many do not work at all.

Laser Hair Regrowth Device Now Has FDA Clearance
It may seem strange to hear about a laser being used for hair regrowth, but this type of treatment has been around for some time and was discovered accidentally by a scientist testing the effects laser radiation on mice. It was in 1967 soon after the first working laser was invented that Dr Endre Mester at Semmelweis, university in Hungary was carrying our research to see if laser radiation cased cancer in mice. No cancers were found, but what surprised him was that hair grew back much more quickly on a shaved test area of the mice than on the mice in an untreated group. This effect called low level laser therapy (LLLT) also known as laser biostimulation, photobiomodulation and cold laser therapy is now used for the treatment of hair regrowth.
Possibly due to the then high cost of laser technology, very little research was carried out over the two decades after the first experiments were conducted. During the 1980s LLLT started becoming available as an expensive treatment through a number of exclusive hair clinics. The lasers used were large complicated fixed devices where patients had to sit under a hood similar to a salon hair dryer. Treatments were performed as frequently as 2-3 times per week, this was often inconvenient for individuals who might have to travel many miles to the nearest clinic or salon. However the results achieved were very good and soon, many salons all over the Europe, Asia and later in the US began offering treatments.
This laser hair regrowth treatment has now been backed up as an effective hair loss treatment by many scientific studies. In 1982 Trelles, M., and Mayayo, E, published "The Growth of Hair Under Laser Influence of the HE-NE Beam". In this study, patients with alopecia areata responded with positive results after only 6 to 8 twice weekly treatments. Later studies in the 1990's tested lasers working at different wavelengths and pulsing the laser to find the most effective laser configuration for treating hair loss. Most therapeutic lasers now operate at a wavelength in the range 600-1000nm where the wavelength is related to how far the light penetrates the scalp. The best wavelength to use is still argued over but it should be sufficient to penetrate at least 5-6mm depth to target the hair bulbs. Many current LLLT devices operate using visible red light at a wavelength of 660nm which can penetrate down to a depth of about 8-10mm. Higher wavelength lasers at 800-900nm are also used these can penetrate to a depth of about 30-40mm but these are mainly used for treating joints and muscle related problems.
More recent LLLT laser hair regrowth studies have started to reveal the reasons why and how laser light therapy helps stimulate hair regrowth. These studies have shown that laser light increases the levels of a chemical compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is known to stimulate living cells including the hair follicles. LLLT also has the effect of increasing the circulation of blood to the hair root which delivers the nutrients to cells that make up the hair follicle. The increased blood flow is also thought to help flush away the damaging waste products that may affect the hair growth cycle. This helps to improve the scalp environment to help stop thinning hair and promote new hair growth.
Over the last few years laser technology has advanced to a stage where a laser devices can now be manufactured to a size smaller than your small finger nail and at very low cost. In 2000 a company developed and patented the first miniature LLLT laser hair regrowth device using the new laser technology. This made possible for the first time an effective LLLT hair loss treatment that was cheap and small enough be used in your own home without having to go to an expensive hair clinic. The new device comes in the form of a hair comb/brush that needs only be used for 10-15 minutes three times per week. The manufacturers claim that while users experience will vary, 45% of users will see positive results after 8 weeks of treatment with another 45% seeing benefits from 10-16 weeks onward.
In February 2007 the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) cleared the laser comb device for use in the treatment of hair regrowth. The laser comb is now one of only three treatments cleared by the FDA for use in hair regrowth the others being Finasteride and Minoxidil. The laser hair regrowth device now brings new hope to the many men and women suffering from premature hair loss.
Comparison in Using A Laser Hair Regrowth Machine and TRIOXINATOR in Hair Loss Treatment
Laser Hair Regrowth machine
It is operated on the known principle that a laser beam can stimulate the skin in order to enhance the appearance of hair. For this to happen, the wavelength of the beam needs to be chosen correctly for optimum performance.
The laser beam penetrates below the surface of the skin and causes a slight elevation of temperature. A laser beam is a very narrow light beam of very high intensity. In order to achieve the required stimulation over a big area, the unit must be moved very slowly over the skin.
Laser Hair Regrowth machine usually comes like a comb to make it possible for some of the laser beams to reach the skin when treating relatively thick existing hair.
TRIOXINATOR
Through a non-invasive cosmetic application of Enhanced TriOxi+, the TRIOXINATOR provides a non-medical self-help treatment for men and women who wish to reduce the signs of hair loss.
The TRIOXINATOR uses high voltage; high frequency pulses combined with controlled low frequency amplitude variations and are applied to 7 gas discharge tubes touching the skin. This causes a strong electrical field at the surface of the skin. The resulting electrical currents in the skin are well below the threshold of muscle stimulation and can therefore be safely classified as a gentle local stimulation and when combined with the proprietary Subtle Amplitude Modulation (SAM), the TRIOXINATOR creates the effect of a very gentle massage.
The electrostatic field and the frequencies involved have been specifically tailored for follicle stimulation. The short amplitude modulated high frequency pulses stimulate the skin in a way that increases the blood flow and the supply of nutrients to the follicles in which contributing greatly to reduce the appearance of hair loss. The process takes place inside the skin. Because of the high repetition rate of the pulses the unit can be moved over the surface of the skin at random.
TRIOXINATOR produces very small amount of ozone which neutralizes toxins and other substances on the surface of the skin. At the same time, it produces a gentle massaging effect. It is known that even normal head massage stimulates the follicles.
What does it feel like?
Each session feels like a gentle, finger-like touch that provides a relaxing and stimulating scalp massage while bathing the area in Enhanced TriOxi+. This experience is caused by the occurrence of minute electrical discharges between the surface of the glass and the skin. As soon as the glass tubes touch the skin the inside the tube is fully ignited and very short but very bright pulses of light are generated. The light consists of a mix of many colors mainly in the lower frequency spectrum. It is not laser light.
Below are the comparisons between the above 2 devices.
Target group
Both devices work for men and women
Side Effects
Both do not have side effects but people who use the TRIOXINATOR have been receiving positive responses including improvement of the skin, headaches, and sleep.
Effectiveness
TRIOXINATOR: 96% for stop hair fall out and 90% on reverse the sign of hair loss. Remarkable results can be expected with people who just start losing hair. Clients have noticed the signs of hair loss start to reverse within 2-3 weeks.
Laser Comb: In general, there are 3 categories of user experience: 45% of users will see positive results after 8 weeks of treatment. Another 45% will see benefits from weeks 10-16. The last 10% of users will begin to see subtle improvements after 16 weeks.
Safety
TRIOXINATOR: Meets regulatory safety standards. Even if children play with the unit it is very difficult to get harmed.
Laser Comb: There is potential risk to users (and children) who may inadvertently look into the laser beam, thereby potentially causing damage to the eyes.
Age Limit
TRIOXINATOR: NONE
Laser Comb: 18 and over (because of potentially damage to the eyes by looking into the laser beam)
Handle/Materials
TRIOXINATOR: Medical grade heavy duty plastic and silicone rubber.
Laser Comb: Standard manufacturing-used plastic
The 7 glass probes of TRIOXINATOR are arranged in a circle for maximum contact with the skin of the scalp to give fast and effective treatment. The probes can reach deep down and touch the skin surface totally without blocked by the existing hair. Together with its high repetition pulses, you can move the unit on your scalp at random but still give you a full performance. In contrast to the Laser Hair Regrowth machine, it generally only allows two electrodes to touch the skin of the scalp thus making stimulation rather tedious. Besides, the laser beam is a very narrow light beam; in order to achieve the required performance over a big area on your scalp, the unit must be moved very slowly over the skin.
To my point of view, this is one of the reasons why TRIOXINATOR would give a more steady and predictable result than the Laser Hair Regrowth machine. If the user is not following closely to the instruction, which is moving the machine slowly over the skin and make sure that every single inch of the scalp is touched by the electrodes of the comb, while using the Laser comb, the stimulation varies and result deviate.
There is also a safety issue that we need to pay attention to. Laser Hair Regrowth machine has potential risk to users in damaging the eyes if users inadvertently look into the laser beam. TRIOXINATOR meets regulatory safety standards. It meets all the legal requirements on emission of interference and safety as set out by the governments of the USA, Canada and the EU (Approval by CE, UL, CSA, FCC and RoHS). Even if children play with the unit, it is very difficult to get harmed.
TRIOXINATOR is a Canadian designed and made machine. It is moderately more expensive than the Laser device in the market. But the price difference is based on the additional costs TRIOXINATOR has been invested on the machine with medical grade plastic and silicone rubber. Hair loss is an issue that needs continuous attention. Therefore, the machine needs to be built to last for many years. Moreover, TRIOXINATOR runs by the software driven silicon chip. Because of its complexity it is relatively expensive.
Additional features like, ozone and massaging effect, also add up costs in building the machine. TRIOXINATOR is specifically designed for follicle stimulation. It is not an ozone producing device. However, it does produce some ozone which is known to sanitize skin. Dirt and excess oil in follicles restrain the growth of hair and vice versa, cleansed skin encourages hair grow. Furthermore, the gentle messaging effect in TRIOXINATOR is known to promote stimulation in follicles.
In conclusion, the science together with the quality of TRIOXINATOR gives more remarkable results for both men and women in discontinuing hair fall out and also reverse the sign of hair loss than the Laser Hair Regrowth machine.
Laser Hair Loss Treatment - Can Light Grow New Hair?
A laser hair loss treatment works under the premise that light can heal. This alternative treatment is for both men and women, and it works to stimulate new hair growth, as well as aid thinning hair and a problematic scalp. The laser treatment is designed to stimulate the body's natural healing energy. Its basic theory relies on the fact that light is linked to cell function. Encouraging healthy cell function should work to promote regeneration of healthy hair.
Laser therapy is an efficient use of light
On the plus side of laser hair loss treatment, it is very efficient, as it uses low power requirements. The equipment is also easy to use and requires simply placing a hood over the patient's head and pressing the "Start" button on the machine. Laser therapy utilizes different light "doses" to produce the desired effect on the scalp and balding areas. A laser treatment takes about 30 minutes, with sessions once a week for 9 to 10 weeks, if not more, before you could see results. The proper amount of light must be concentrated on the problem areas in order for this treatment to have a benefit.
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 are currently being conducted, with reports to be published in scientific journals upon completion.
After week 5 or 6 of the laser hair loss treatment, your scalp should notice an improvement to problem areas, including the reduction of dandruff, if that had been present. Excessive hair loss should be stopped or greatly reduced somewhere between week 6 and week 9 of the treatment sessions. After week 9, 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, with 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 month for continued hair generation.
Lasercomb
There is a new FDA-approved laser treatment, as well, involving a "Lasercomb." This comb works only if you have significant areas of hair left on your scalp. As you comb through your hair, a laser is supposed to be directed at your hair follicles to stimulate new growth. The cost of a Lasercomb can be as much as $500. The directions tell you not to use it every day, only for a few days a week for about 15 minutes per day. It will take approximately three to six months using a Lasercomb to actually determine if this laser hair loss treatment is working for your hair.
Minoxidil
Almost every hair loss treatment ends its advertisement with something to the effect of, "when used in conjunction with Minoxidil." Minoxidil is the only FDA-approved topical solution and supplement combination to combat hair loss and promote hair re-growth. Hair loss treatments including Minoxidil can show an improvement to your hair in as little as two to three months.
The two-step program that Provillus offers works well to promote all aspects of healthy hair regeneration. Utilizing a topical solution of Minoxidil, a dropper-full should be applied to the affected areas on the scalp twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. In combination with that, a supplement containing Vitamin B6, Magnesium, Biotin, Horsetail Silica (used by the ancient Greeks and Romans), and Para-Amino Benzoic Acid (this helps reduce wrinkles) is recommended to provide nourishment for your entire body, but particularly for the hair follicles. The nutrients are intended to provide a healthy foundation for the hair follicles to generate new growth.
While lasers are great inventions and offer much to technological applications, including limiting invasive surgeries and tendering opportunities to have multiple types of surgeries more easily and with less recovery time, laser hair loss treatment can probably still use some assistance in re-growing hair. Consider the FDA-approved drug, Minoxidil, to aid in stimulating hair growth. Provillus' two-step treatment program is a hard combination to beat.
Non-Surgical Hair Restoration Treatments
If you've spent any time looking you probably already know there are a wide range of products available boasting claims of how they can help prevent hair loss, reduce the appearance of it and stimulate the growth of new hair. Because there is such a demand for these types of products many companies have joined in the fight against alopecia, or hair loss, and are offering their best products.
Living with alopecia is so stressful for many of us we are willing to try anything that sounds like it might work. Because we are willing to try so many products the industry has become pretty large with billions of dollars a year spent on these products. But with so many hair loss prevention products out there how do you know which products are effective and which products are the next big, smart marketing scheme?
Stick with Proven Products
While nothing works perfectly for every single person, there are a few products that have some clinical evidence and FDA approval behind them. Things like shampoos and topical solutions that contain minoxidil have been effective as a hair loss prevention treatment and for some they have even promoted new hair growth.
There are a few medications still in trials as a hair loss treatment, but for now the only approved medication is finasteride. This has also been effective in trials to stop hair loss and regrow hair in many people.
Laser Hair Therapy
Laser hair restoration has become popular in recent years as a non-surgical hair loss treatment. It has been cleared by the FDA for use as an alopecia treatment, but there is some debate about the wording of the approval and the clinical trials involved.
Hairpieces
While there may be comedy sketches based on bad hairpieces, they have come a long way in recent years. Now it has become difficult to distinguish the difference between a hairpiece and the real thing.
Ironically many people avoid hair restoration surgery because of the cost, which isn't covered by most insurance plans, but after years of trying other products unsuccessfully for some the cost of surgical hair implants may have been cheaper in the long run. Of course not everyone is a candidate for this type of procedure, and the process is continually refined making the results much more natural-looking today than they were some years ago.
Professional Vs At Home Low Level Laser Hair Therapy - Which One Should You Choose?
For years laser treatments for hair loss were always performed by specialists in a series of sessions that could cost anywhere from $80-$2000 depending on the number of sessions you need. Now, we are fortunate to have the options of trying at home low level laser therapy for hair loss, with the use of laser hair combs.
Seeking professional low level laser hair therapy
There are many hair and beauty clinics that provide specialist in-house laser treatment sessions for us follicle challenged folk. Trained professionals administer these treatments using probably the best systems out there. As mentioned earlier, these low intensity laser hair loss treatments are not cheap, however you do get the added value of sitting user super strength systems that have far more lasers than a laser comb.
Laser treatments can repair the hair shaft strengthen the strands, slow down hair loss, so the more lasers used, in theory, the quicker the results. But like any treatments, you will need to continue consistently in order to achieve and maintain your hair regrowth. Low intensity laser therapy does not cure the underlying issue that causes hair loss; therefore once you stop the treatment, you may find your hair reversing back to its original state. So at an average of $80 per session, going at least once a week... well... you do the math!
At home low level laser hair therapy
With this cost effective product, you can see results in a matter of weeks. The laser comb allows you to focus on the specific thinning hair are even closer than the system used in clinics. They may be a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the size, but by no means and less on quality. The best thing about this is that you can grow your hair privately in the comfort of your home without having to making trips to the clinic (which may not be local) and sit there everyday under apparatus that looks like it was made in outer space.
What is great about a laser comb is that it's a small and portable device. Instead of having to sit still in a chair for an hour, the laser comb gets right to scalp, cutting the amount of time you need to use it by up to half. Just 15 minutes use at least twice a week of you gliding the comb or laser brush over your scalp, couldn't be simpler or more convenient. What's more, as low level laser hair therapy is a long-term process, your investment in a laser comb will be returned to you in no time.
How Do Laser Hair Brushes Work?
Hand-held laser hair brushes are the latest device to re-grow hair that has been weakened or lost. They have now been made portable and convenient for home use and are an all natural solution to the age old problem of thinning and balding in men and women. After a little research however, I was surprised to find that not all laser hair brushes are created equal. The number of lasers and ease of use are just some of the qualities that make one brush better than another, and with one of great quality, you have the advantage of easy use whenever and wherever you prefer with proven results of up to a 90% satisfaction rate. For those not able, willing or ready to take that big leap into surgical hair restoration or commit to wearing a hair system, use of these laser devices may be the answer to premature hair loss.
How Do Laser Hair Brushes Promote Hair Growth?
Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is a relatively new development in the treatment of hair loss for men and women. Lasers have played a huge part in medical procedures for decades, but the cool, red spectrum light lasers that are now used in laser hair brushes have already been around for about thirty years in Europe and now follow FDA guidelines in the U.S. More than 2000 clinical studies have been conducted on the use of LLLT and in all of these studies NO mutational effects have ever been observed resulting from therapy with wavelengths in the Red or Infrared red range, in doses used within the laser hair brushes. Low level laser beams stimulate blood circulation to promote rapid cell growth, bringing nourishment and oxygen back to dormant hair follicles so your hair begins to grow in a normal, healthy way. It works at the cellular level with your body's own natural healing processes down to the level of the nerves and DNA. Laser hair brushes can also correct the overabundance of a substance called DHT (dihydrotestosterone) triggered both by age and genetics that can begin to weaken hair on a follicular level, targeting the roots. Use of laser hair brushes is non-invasive and painless as they are designed to penetrate deep within the tissues without causing heat or damage. Some laser hair brushes I reviewed contained only LEDS (light emitting diodes), but if light-emitting diodes were as effective as therapeutic lasers, they would already have replaced lasers in the clinic due to their relatively low cost. The best quality laser brushes I have found contain 17 diode lasers, focused through clear conical shafts that are the "bristles" of the brush. Many less expensive types put a combination of lasers and LEDS that may look the same, but do not deliver the same results.
What Results Can I Expect from Laser Hair Brushes?
Success from use of laser hair brushes means thicker, fuller, shinier, younger-looking, more vibrant hair along with re-growth and keeping your existing hair. It can take three months to see a real difference with laser therapy, but in five to six months, your hair should begin to grow back far healthier than it has been for years. We should take note that the results of laser hair brushes are only seen as long as you use the product. A great hair therapy company will also provide you with a complete system of hair health specific vitamins, shampoo products and water filters that can all enhance your results by keeping you healthy on the inside as well as the outside.
Laser therapy is a cost efficient way to win the battle of hair loss with guaranteed, proven results. Naturally, there is skepticism about any new product, but the studies and facts about laser hair brushes should assure anyone that laser therapy is here to stay as a great, non-invasive option in hair restoration and treating hair loss. Thanks to today's advanced technology, scientists have designed a laser small, powerful and safe enough to be suitable for you.
Laser Hair Removal Machines
The first laser hair removal device was the Soft Light Hair Removal System developed and manufactured by the Thermolase Corporation. Today, there are several laser hair removal machines on the market. The following are some the more common ones.
The long-pulse alexandrite laser has the propensity for deep access into that layer of the skin where the hair follicles are situated. The sustained heat that builds up in the shaft immobilizes the hair follicles that are in the active growth phase.
The diode laser is another highly competent machine that is made up of minute diodes or semiconductors that are set together to manufacture light. One advantage of the diode laser is the relatively longer wavelength than other machines used for laser hair removal. It is particularly beneficial to those people who are darker in skin color.
There are also light-based sources. Intense pulsed light devices function much like lasers. They use the "photoepilation process offering a wide range of light allowing the process to effectively work on a range of skin and hair colors and hair depth.
Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser gives off two varying wave lengths of light. The one used for deep penetration is the invisible infrared light, which can reach deep hair follicles. The green light is used for treating hair follicle closer to the surface of the skin. During both, the infrared and the green light treatments, the Q-Switched Nd: YAG device produces rapid bursts of light to the area being treated.
Ruby is a red-colored beam that is used to target the dark melanin (a dark biological pigment) in the hair follicles.
Hair Loss Treatment - Hair Laser Therapy Explained
Hair Loss Treatment - Why Hair Laser Therapy Can Stop Hair Loss
An effective hair loss treatment has to address the underlying causes of hair loss to which it is being directed. While it is easy to believe that hair loss, especially in men, is just a natural occurrence due to genetic factors, modern research is showing that there are various factors at play.
These factors include hormones, nutrient deficiencies and excesses, side effects from medicines, stress, tight scalp and the latest theory targeting research into a minscule demodicid parasite.
Hormones play a role in hair loss by their effect upon hair follicles. Androgens & estrogens are the male and female hormones and correcting an imbalance can be an effective hair loss treatment. So why would hair laser therapy be an effective treatment and can it actually stop you losing hair? Let's look at DHT.
DHT-DiHydroTestosterone Testosterone combines with an enzyme (5a-reductase) to form DHT which, upon reaching the hair follicles cause them to shrink (due to affecting blood supply), thus producing finer hair. This is referred to as hair follicle miniaturization, the main process behind male pattern baldness. Drugs which decrease the levels of available 5a-reductase (and therefore DHT) are being used as a hair loss treatment but unfortunately can have undesirable side effects such as impotence, decreased libido, decreased ejaculate volume and in some cases, man boobs! Whilst there are a number of safer herbal preparations that can also reduce DHT, there is a perfectly safe and effective hair loss treatment known as hair laser therapy showing remarkable outcomes for both men & women.
Hair Laser Therapy In 1967 a researcher doing skin cancer experiments with laser light upon mice discovered that the shaven areas grew back fuller & thicker hair on laser treated mice than on the untreated control specimens. The accidental discovery spawned a new industry in treatment for those seeking a hair loss cure & it has since been shown that low power (5 milliwatts) lasers with a wavelength of 650 nanometres (in the red spectrum) is most effective. Advances in industry have enabled portable laser hair therapy devices to be available to anyone wishing to purchase one for their own home use.
How Lasers Stimulate Hair Growth There are two theories.
1. The coherent light energy of a laser is absorbed by the hair follicle and transfers energy into the follicle in a similar way that light helps a plant grow.
2. The light stimulates & improves the blood circulation around the hair follicle, flushing away the DHT; however it has been shown that even shaved areas (nothing to do with DHT) grow back thicker and fuller hair after laser treatment.
Interesting Fact The average hair shaft is only one tenth of a millimetre in diameter and the capillaries that nourish them are less than a tenth of that again! Whereas the skin follicle base may be as deep as 4mm on fleshy parts of the skin, the skull may have as little as 1mm of total skin thickness on the top of the head. Go on, feel for yourself! It is pretty obvious why the top of your head is the first place to lose hair. The pharmaceutical companies never seem to mention that.
Laser light can penetrate millimeters into the skin, a fact easily proven by observing the glow of a fingertip held over a laser. When faced with losing hair it is now easy to realize how fragile the supporting structure truly is.
Therefore, if you're in the unfortunate position of trying to stop losing hair and looking for a safe alternative, hair laser therapy should definitely be a part of your hair gain treatment strategy.
Considering the importance of increasing the blood supply to the hair follicles in any hair loss treatment, the purchase of a tested low dose laser device is a logical choice for any male or female trying to arrest the process of losing their hair and looking for the best tools available to provide a safe and natural, hair loss treatment.
The Best Hair Removal System - Laser Hair Removal
Experts consider that the best hair removal system as on today is laser hair removal procedure. The first time lasers were used in dermatology in the mid 1960s. Some dermatologists noticed that while using laser treatment for tattoos and vascular lesions, there was hair loss in the adjacent tissue. This prompted dermatologists to carry out more research and experiments on laser hair removal devices. The initial laser hair removal devices targeted the individual follicles through a thin fiber optic probe. The present day laser hair removal devices use penlight type probe
FDA approved the laser hair removal device. Since 1995 the removal of unwanted hair with lasers has rapidly gained popularity. However this type of treatment is not suitable to all and it is important that a person who undergoes laser hair removal treatment should be aware of the procedure involved.
Laser Hair Removal Treatment Requirements: Laser hair removal is not suited for all persons. The following are the requirements:
1) The surrounding skin should be lighter than the hair.
2) Not suitable for people with dark skin, since dark skin absorbs more laser energy and is liable to be burnt.
3) Light hair is not suitable for laser hair removal treatment.
Cost: As a thumb rule, the larger the area undergoing laser hair removal the more will be the cost. Therefore it costs less to remove hair from the upper lip than from the leg or back. The cost also depends on the number of sessions. Typically around 4 sessions are required. However if you have darker skin, the number of sessions required will be more and people with darker skin will have to undergo treatment under an expert laser specialist. The usual cost for one session in the US is around $ 450.
Results: Results vary from person to person depending upon the type of skin. Laser hair removal is a long term hair removal system and not a permanent hair removal system. Most people get satisfactory results however a minority are not satisfied with the results.
Laser Hair Loss Treatment - Is it Effective?
Hair growth has a cycle of approximately three years. During this period, you may experience unusual hair loss, but it is not a problem, because it is part of the cycle. Nonetheless, some people reported that they noticed excessive hair fall. Studies showed that stress, certain medicines and creams can contribute to hair fall. There are a lot of solutions to help you stop your hair from falling. Surgeries and natural oils are the most traditional methods. Many researches gave scientists a better insight on this subject. That's how the laser hair loss treatments were introduced to the public as a new healing method.
Laser hair loss treatments are available almost everywhere. You have the choice of having this therapy either in a clinic or privately. Therapies processed at home require certain devices that are different from those used in clinics and medical centers. This therapy is for both bald people and those who are experiencing unusual hair fall.
Studies showed that is a better alternative to surgeries. Laser hair loss treatment is a simple and very basic procedure. Traditionally, doctors used it for skin wounds healing. Now, they have widened its spectrum use to include hair regrowth. It uses therapeutic soft low light level lasers to penetrate the scalp and stimulate blood flow inside the deepest layers of the scalp.
The healing process takes some time before any significant achievements. That is why you may need a series of sessions to reach the results you desire. Within ten weeks, you should expect a remarkable change in your hair's health and quality.
Laser hair loss treatment comes in different kinds. Laser hair combs do not require any clinical visits. They also use a low-level laser in order to promote hair regrowth. Their use is similar to that of regular brushes or combs. They tend to stimulate hair follicles by increasing your blood flow. This method is tested and recognized by the FDA.
Another efficient device is known as Laser Luce LDS. It is a device for domestic use as well. It is available for sale without prescription. Never the less, you have to consult your doctor before purchasing it. Your dermatologist can figure out whether your hair follicles are in their process of growth or not. If your hair follicles are in such stage, the doctor will recommend the laser Luce LDS use. These devices operate in a simple way. They too increase the blood flow to the scalp. The hair follicles will absorb the nutrients that they need for healthy hair growth.
Laser hair loss treatments generally operate under the same procedure. They use the right light wavelengths in order to enhance to tissue growth and then allow enough nutrients to reach the dormant hair follicles. In this way, the dying hair follicles revive again and regrow healthily.
Laser hair loss cure is remarkably effective. None the less, it should be used along with another treatment in order to reach the desired results.
There are many laser hair loss treatments tools that you may find in the Internet or in local stores. But you should always consult an expert before taking any actions to avoid drawbacks.
Laser Hair Replacement - Is it Effective?
Hair transplant and hair restoration surgery are done with the help of lasers. Hence this procedure involving laser is also known as laser hair replacement.
The use of laser in the hair replacement surgery has provided a significant improve in the number of patients with hair loss are using the laser hair replacement surgery. This method of hair replacement is painless, blood less and there is no consumption of time and there is no any other defect that this treatment would cause.
Laser hair transplantation is used to create the holes in the recipient sites for the mini grafts to be inserted in the place from the donor region. There is some side effect that we should ignore the myriad to make the surgery successful. Before the invention of laser the site creation process itself is a tedious process for treatments like harvesting or graft dissection.
While talking about the pain involved in laser hair replacement, the laser treatment is extremely painful unless local anesthesia is administrated to the patient. The laser beams used in these days are ultra pulsed CO2 lasers. This laser creates a hole by vaporizing the tissue in the scalp. The pulse of the laser used is short, and the heat transfer to the tissues is less.
Though the heat to the tissue is small the calls are non selectively destroyed. So the laser treatment in laser hair replacement becomes more painful. Generally, sedation is given to numb the recipient site before the commencement of the surgery. Because of this draw back, some are not ready to under go the permanent hair loss treatment.
The main aim of the laser surgery is to stimulate the hair follicles. The laser treatment increases the blood flow in the scalp. It also increases the oxygenation in the blood. This provides the required nutrients to the hair root and the cells that are stimulating the hair follicles. The implanted hair is also in the growth phase immediately after the laser surgery.
This surgery is also known as blood less surgery. But care should be taken in order to maintain this status of laser treatment. Excessive use micro grafting technique will result in the increase of the graft space in the scalp. This will cause blood loss and coagulation of blood in the scalp. This is a disastrous draw back when the procedure are not cleanly followed.
The major advantage in the use of laser is that it can easily create a slit for the plantation of the dissected grafts. The size of the slit can also be controlled by the laser beam according to the size of the grafts. The laser beam wave length is varied according to the size of the grafts needed for implantation of the hair.
The laser hair replacement also has some other draw backs like the destruction of elastic fibers and the dermal collagen in the head. Irrespective of these defects the laser treatment has proven its worth by the advancement of technology in the laser field.
Laser Hair Removal: Toss the Razor?
Permanent Hair Removal with Lasers? Can You Really Kiss the Razor Bye Bye?
Permanent hair removal via new laser technology is quickly becoming the method of choice for thousands of women to permanently banish those long leg and underarm shaving sessions, and to leave them soft and smooth without wasting precious minutes every day. So, what is the cost of laser hair removal, and what does the process entail? Well, I will tell you...
First of all, not everyone is eligible for laser hair removal, so you should definitely consult with a specialist or specialist organization before you even consider this route for permanent hair removal.
While laser hair removal is much less expensive than the (somewhat painful) method of removing hair called electrolysis, some individuals may only be eligible for electrolysis due to physical and hair characteristics which make laser hair removal very difficult or impossible.
First of all, any person who is exceptionally dark in skin pigmentation would not be a good candidate for this procedure, and may want to look into alternatives to lasers to remove unwanted body or facial hair. Additionally, people with tanned skin and light hair, or people with generally very light hair would not be good candidates.
Cost of Laser Hair Removal?
The cost can vary considerably, depending on whether you choose to do a large area of your body, like your legs (which will cost considerably more), or just a small area, like facial hair above the lip and so on. Generally each session costs roughly $500 for smaller or medium size areas, and depending on the surface area covered will cost more per session, and require return sessions to get all of the hair removed.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Well, I've got good and bad news here. You will require return treatments to keep the hair gone, and to get all of it, and contrary to what most people believe, you will not be able to hang up the razor forever, because you will still have a few stray hairs here and there. Trust me, it would be nearly impossible to get every single hair, maybe some day, but this technology has not come this far yet today. I will say this, you will be considerably smoother and have to worry about shaving way less though, so it's still worth it.
And get this, while they know that laser hair removal makes your hair fall out, they still are not exactly sure why. In other words, there is conjecture that the laser action and heat below the surface of the skin breaks the hair follicle apart and destroys that hair permanently, but they don't have 100% conclusive evidence of that theory yet. What happens after a laser treatment is that over the course of the next few weeks or months after treatment, the hair on the treated area just falls out. For whatever reason, laser hair removal tends to work best for people with a fair complexion and darker hair.
Interesting huh? So, if you were considering having your hair removed by a laser professionally, whether it be for your legs, or facial hairs or any other unwanted bodily hair, hopefully now you can go into it a little more educated!
The Cost of Laser Hair Removal in Colorado Springs
What is the cost of laser hair removal in Colorado Springs? If you've been researching this topic online, you have probably found that answering this question is quite frustrating! It is hard to get a definitive answer from practitioners and clinics, but gauging whether or not the cost is worth the benefits is a very important step in your decision-making process. Let's take a look at costs you may encounter.
First, it is important to know that your cost will depend on:
ท Your area. Colorado Springs clinics will typically offer lower prices than you'd see in bigger cities like Denver or Boulder.
ท The specific clinic. Some clinics charge more than others. Part of this may be due to the level of experience and skill of their practitioners, but part may also be due to the part of town in which they are located.
ท Again, the skill of the practitioner plays a central role in the cost. More training and experience drive prices higher.
ท The area you want treated. Your back will cost you more than your upper lip, for instance, because it's a bigger area and because it takes longer to treat. An upper lip can be treated in about a minute, while a back can take in excess of an hour or two.
ท The number of sessions. You may need to go back only three times, or you may need to return for up to eight visits.
Here are some average prices so you can get an idea of what you will have to pay (per session):
ท Chest: $150 to $450
ท Back: $300 to $800
ท Bikini area: $150 to $450
ท Both legs (half) $250 to $650
ท Underarms: $150 to $250
ท Full face: $250 to $650
The price you pay, of course, is dependent upon your needs, as well as other factors. Many clinics offer free initial consultations. Take them up on this: get a consultation and then discuss how many sessions would be needed and how much each one will be. By that time, the practitioner should have an idea of how to approach your treatment.
The costs may seem very high, especially when you can try hair removal methods, like shaving, plucking, or waxing at home for very little money. Laser treatment is much more effective and long-lasting. Consider the results - and the time and money you'll save by not shaving or waxing nearly as often - as you consider cost. Removing embarrassing hair is an investment in your self-confidence and happiness.
Laser Hair Removal - Treatment for Permanent Hair Removal
The desire for permanent hair removal in both men and women has created a worldwide craze - Laser Hair Removal. People are queuing up at clinics around the world hoping for the miracle cure to rid themselves permanently of hair in undesirable places. But for permanent hair reduction, the bare reality is that it is very rare that just one session of laser treatment will give the desired result. And here's why:
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Some say YES, some say NO. Studies show that the best-known method of achieving permanent hair removal is Laser Hair Removal, and if the procedure is performed correctly (using the right equipment), permanency is definitely possible. That's because laser hair removal actually kills the hair follicle, which impairs it's ability to grow. But you need to get the hair at the right stage in the growth cycle to ensure permanent hair removal, which means that you will need to undergo a number of treatments.
You see, hair grows in 3 stages, and Laser treatment in the first growth stage (Anagen stage) is the best for permanent reduction. Laser treatment in the other 2 stages (Categen and Telogen) can be less effective, because in these stages new hairs are being formed which may not be target-able by the Laser. So for permanency you will need to undergo a number of laser treatments over time to kill all the hair follicles in that region.
Which Growth Stage is Best for Permanent Hair Removal ?
Everyone's hair grows differently, depending on their age, weight, metabolism, hormonal interactions, genetics, medications and environmental influences. Irrespective of this, hair grows in a cycle which has 3 distinct stages, and the ability of the Laser to target and destroy the hair follicle actually depends on the stage of the hair in the growth cycle. That is because the Lasers used in hair removal actually target the pigment in the hair to "zero in" on the hair follicle. In the initial growth stage of hair, there is more pigment in the hair, thus the Laser is more effective.
Following is an overview of the 3 different hair growth cycle stages, and how effective laser treatment is in each of these stages:
The ACTIVE or ANAGEN growth phase (lasts 2-6 years), comprises approximately 85 % of our body hair at any given moment in time. During this ANAGEN phase, the hair shaft and follicle has an abundance of pigment and is most sensitive to the laser light. So in this stage, permanent hair removal is very likely. The Laser will destroy the hair follicle and no new hair will grow.
The REGRESSIVE or CATAGEN phase (lasts 1-2 weeks) is the period during which the hair stops actively growing but is not shed. This phase often lasts several weeks comprising about 3 - 4% of our total body hair at any given time. In the early part of this stage, you can expect the same results as in the ANAGEN stage. But later in this stage, a new hair might already be forming, and because it will have no pigment yet, it won't be destroyed.
The RESTING or TELOGEN phase lasts 5 - 6 weeks, at the end of which the hair falls out and a new hair begins to form. Approximately 10-13% of our body hair is in this phase at any one time. Again, the new hair will not have any pigment and the laser will not be able to target it. This new hair will shortly enter the ANAGEN stage, and if it is exposed to a Laser treatment when it has entered the ANAGEN stage, then permanency can be expected.
In summary, each hair on your body will naturally be at a different part of the growth cycle, and that is why it will be necessary in most cases to undergo a number of Laser hair Removal treatments at varying intervals to completely destroy all hair follicles in the region you are targeting. You might be lucky and destroy more than 85% of the hair follicles in the target region with just one treatment, but the statistics point towards needing at least 2 treatments (possibly 3 or more) to totally destroy all hair follicles in any part of the body.

The results of the study showed that 93 of the participants (ages 30-60) using the hand held laser unit had an increase in the number of thick hairs. The average number of terminal hairs per square centimeter increased by 19 hairs/cm² over a six-month period. During this study, there were no reports of serious adverse side effects. The number and types of adverse side effects were similar in both the active and placebo groups.
Lexington's Managing Director comments on the green light.
The managing director of Lexington LLC, David Michaels, had the following comment to make "We are very excited that we have reached a major milestone in hair care and science. Laser hair therapy is the talk of the hair restoration industry today. Furthermore, not only were the results of this study extremely significant, but with the credibility of the FDA clearance, we are soundly positioned to make a substantial impact in the emerging hair restoration industry."
Understanding Laser Hair Loss Treatment
Hair loss is a major problem for both men and women and can cause significant distress emotionally and physically. There are many different types of hair loss and many different types of treatments available. One such treatment is laser hair loss treatment.
Also known as low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been under much discussion since it's development by restoration specialists. Many forums debate whether laser treatment really works or not. So before embarking on this course of treatment, seeking the advice of a doctor or specialist at a hair loss clinic is vital.
This type of treatment first came about in 1964. As with many medical breakthroughs, this was purely by accident. A researcher named Andre Mester had the theory that exposure to cold laser light, similar to that of UV light emitted by the sun, may lead to cancer.
Andre Mester tested his theory by shaving mice and exposing them to constant cold laser light, while leaving an unexposed control group. Surprisingly the light did not cause cancer in any of the mice. He did however, find that the mice exposed to the laser light therapy grew their fur back much quicker than the control group. Mester named his discovery photo-biostimulation. The theory behind this laser light therapy is that it stimulates the hair cells into an accelerated state of hair growth or regrowth.
The treatment today involves low level laser rays being directed at the scalp by a mechanical device so that the red blood cells of the scalp are stimulated. The laser treatment is said to work by converting adenosine triphosphate to adenosine diphosphate. This in turn releases energy and causes cellular metabolic changes.
The laser light penetrates into the soft tissue of the scalp and increases nutrient absorption. Increased protein production and cell proliferation leads to a decrease in the disruption of follicular protein and nutrient loss. This results in a much healthier scalp, shiny thick hair as well as hair loss prevention.
In addition to these changes nutrients and oxygen are supplied to the scalp helping the normal process necessary for healthy hair growth. Laser therapy for hair loss, has been said to improve overall quality of the hair as well as promote new hair growth and increase the size of the hair shaft.
For best results laser treatment is normally performed in a series of sessions. This process can be quite lengthy, so a level of commitment is required from the patient. Initially 2-3 treatments are required weekly for the first 4-6 weeks. After this first stage, laser treatment is continued on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, depending on the severity of the problem. Some patients may require a 6 month laser light program, but for more serious cases, treatment may last as long as a year. Each session can take up to 30 minutes and is said to feel very much like a comfortable warming sensation that is pain free.
Some treatment reviews have stated that laser hair loss treatment has been particularly successful for frontal hair loss treatment as well as vertex areas (top of the head) in both men and women. Some reviews have shown that hair regrowth in women has been successful in both frontal and vertex areas.
Of course the real question is does it actually work? The FDA has given it's approval to laser hair loss treatments and has given it a 'yes'. According to research low level laser treatment has resulted in a 90% success rate, with an average regrowth rate of 19 hairs per centimeter.
One of the big advantages of laser treatment is that it has no known risks or side effects attached to it. The process appears to be completely safe and benign. However, you may be one of the unlucky 10% who do not respond to laser treatment. For those who do respond to the treatment, it should be used in conjunction with other common hair regrowth products and treatments. These may include medications such as natural herbs for hair loss, hair loss shampoos and supplements.
Laser treatment is very costly, so it will not be for everyone. The procedure also takes a long period of time to complete. But for those not on a budget and have the time for laser hair loss treatment it can provide a permanent hair loss solution.

How They Work
Treatments use a very low energy light and use photobiotherapy principle. The cells absorb the light and heal themselves. The laser penetrates the tissues of the scalp which stimulates the micro-circulation of the blood supply. It supports cell metabolism and synthesizes protein. This process is believed to break down DHT-dihydrotestosterone, a male hormone that causes hair loss.
There are three components to laser treatments. Energization changes the light energy from the laser into cellular energy. As a result the cells can take in nutrients and get rid of waste that much quicker. Circulation is the process of increasing the blood and lymph circulation using vasodilatation. The laser has been shown to oxygenate the blood to the scalp and hair bulb/follicles. Vibration brings cells into harmonius movement or oscillation.The frequency is similar to the low level cold-beam red-light laser.
Benefits of Hair Loss Treatments
There are benefits from these treatments. The need to use chemical treatments is unnecessary, so therefore the horrible smells of some chemical treatments is no longer an issue.

Low Level Laser Therapy for Hair Loss Treatment
Androgenic alopecia is known to be one of the most common forms of hair loss in men of all ages. If you are suffering from this hair loss, you are not the only one who is noticing bald patches on your scalp. Of all the cases of male baldness, about 95% are attributed to androgenic alopecia. Usually, ageing is associated with baldness, but occurrence of this pattern of hair loss in men younger in age has raised the concerns. An in-depth study of the root cause of male pattern baldness can help in its effective treatment. A range of hair loss products available in this category help in hair regrowth as well as improve texture of the hair. Let's take a brief look on male pattern baldness and its treatment.
Male pattern baldness: An inside story
Based on genetic background, the occurrence of androgenic alopecia can vary from one population to another. The environmental factors can contribute very minimum to this type of hair loss. Men suffering from this condition experience hair thinning at the temple and the crown. This is followed by receding hairline on the lateral sides of the forehead and bald patches on the vertex. In order to get a better understanding of this hair condition, it is essential to get an idea about the normal hair growth cycle.
The three phases in the normal hair growth cycle include the growth phase, the resting phase, and the shedding phase. Firstly, in the growing phase, hair growth takes place for an average of three to four years. At an average about 90% of follicles engage in this phase to grow hair. Secondly, in the resting phase, no hair growth takes place and its length remains the same. The average duration of this phase is about two to four months. Only about 5% of follicles engage in the resting phase. Lastly, the shedding phase is the shortest of all phases in which hairs shed in order to initiate new hair growth. A lot of natural hair loss treatments tend to enhance the function of hair follicles to help in regrowth and quality of hair. But the problem starts when hair follicles present in the scalp area develop sensitivity to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Usually, an enzyme 5-alpha reductase present in the scalp area converts testosterone (male sex hormone) into dihydrotestosterone. This over-sensitivity to DHT tends to shrink the follicles in their sizes. In this way, it directly affects their ability to sustain and even regrow new hair. To help these follicles regain their ability to grow new hair, it is necessary to inhibit the production of DHT.
Laser treatment for androgenic alopecia
Laser therapy has been proven to be a boon for medical science. It helps in the treatment of a lot of health conditions. With the advent of a new device HairMax LaserComb, an effective treatment of hair condition such as androgenic alopecia is very much possible. This device emits low lever laser beams into the scalp area to help revitalise the hair follicles.

Surgical Hair Replacement - Cost of Laser Hair Replacement Surgery and Other Important Factors
One of the most successful hair replacement procedures carried out these days is the use of laser hair replacement. The laser is a special equipment from which a high intense light is used to treat patients with various kinds of disease.
In hair type of replacement, the laser beam is focused on the scalp to remove dead skin cells where the growth of hair has become impossible. The exact type of laser used here is called the fractioning laser.
It is not all the skin cells that are touched by the laser. Those not touched helps to provide blood flow that nourishes the dead skin cells so as to allow the growth of cells once again. Hence, those areas affected by laser develop hair growth from nutrients through blood flow.
If you are worried about hair restoration, then you need to try laser hair replacement surgery. Although the procedure is quite expensive (between $1400 - $3500) yet it is the most effective type of hair surgery out there. After you might have successfully undergone this treatment, you are allowed to revisit the clinic for follow up treatment.
If you have decided to go for the laser hair replacement surgery then you will need to talk to a surgeon to get details of all you need to do in the procedure.
The doctor or surgeon can diagnose you to know if you are fitted to undergo the procedure even though it is not really a cumbersome process. Moreover, you will get to know about other things like the cost and if there could be any side effects.
