What is Laser Hair Therapy?
Laser treatment for hair loss, or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a modern treatment option for several different types of hair loss.
Laser hair growth treatments, or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), aim to improve hair growth and treat hair loss by improving circulation and stimulating new hair growth.
Near-infrared or red laser light can promote the repair and regeneration of tissue. Because of this, laser therapy is often used for wound healing and several cosmetic skin treatments.
Key Benefits
• Increases blood supply to the scalp.
• Stops the progression of hair loss in 85% of the patients.
• Stimulates regrowth of hair.
• Repairs and improves hair shaft quality.
• Dramatically prolongs the life of hair color and perms.
• Relieves irritating scalp conditions.
Typically, patients may observe the following results;
1. No change of condition: No stop or slowing of hair loss, no hair regrowth observed.
2. Stabilisation of condition: Loss of hair has substantially slowed or stopped completely. No regrowth observed
3. Restoration of hair: Hair loss has stopped, and existing hair appears more healthy, thicker and fuller.
4. Regrowth of hair: Loss of hair has stopped, existing hair appears more healthy, ticker and fuller. New hair regrowth has been observed.
The most important factor that dictates what result you can expect (1-4 above) is essentially how long you have been losing your hair, plus other factors such as hereditary conditions, genetics, general health, hormones etc. As a rough guide our statistics have shown;
1. Hair loss over 7 years has no real benefit from LLLT technology, if hair follicles have been dormant for this time, they have likely been reabsorbed into the body and must be replaced by a hair transplant, no amount of laser energy can solve this problem
2. Hair loss between 5-7 years has a low chance of achieving strong results.
3. Hair loss between 3-5 years has a much better chance of achieving strong results
4. Hair loss < 3 years responds best to laser therapy.
Is laser hair therapy safe?
Yes! The energy produced by the photons does not have the thermal component to cause thermal injuries to users or operators. Laser light energy does not change or alter molecular structures; it stimulates the body’s mechanism to repair and heal itself. This treatment is also ideal for anyone who is immune compromised or has had chemo or radiation. Read more at Accelerating Hair Growth After Chemotherapy
Can LLLT Help Hair Transplant Success?
Low-level laser therapy, also called LLLT, is used often in conjunction with hair restoration surgeries. While LLLT has been shown to work alone, laser therapy cannot completely reverse a severe balding area on its own. Instead, individuals suffering from severe male-pattern baldness opt to use both treatments to increase their success.
Post-surgery, LLLT helps bring blood, oxygen, and nutrients to balding areas, promoting stronger effects. Although hair transplants are often successful on their own, some follicles are stubborn at re-entering the growth cycle. LLLT provides the extra push that these follicles need to get back to business. Since hair loss is a progressive, long-term condition, undergoing long-term treatment after a hair restoration surgery can limit additional thinning as well.
How much does it cost and what is included in the price?
Hair restoration is available only as a package. It is important that to see results the entire program must be completed. As we tend to want immediate results with anything we do, we feel it is to your benefit to pay up front so that you are more likely to continue through with the entire program.
You will come in twice a week for 8 weeks. The treatment takes less than 30 minutes.
The cost for the Laser Hair Regrowth package is $1800.00 plus HST.
