Laser Hair Growth

Laser hair growth treatment is a relatively new technique for people suffering from hair loss, whether it is for genetic or other reasons. The principal behind laser hair growth is the supply of energy from a low-light laser, which increases the blood supply around the hair follicle, thereby stimulating the follicle to produce hair at a greater rate than it normally would.

There are various laser hair growth systems available and choosing which is right for you can be confusing. Most people opt for a salon-based treatment program, which ensures they receive the latest technology from trained hands. However now there are also at-home laser hair growth systems, which offer added convenience, comfort and typically a more reasonable price as well.

Whether you choose an at home or salon-based system, the most important factors are the wavelength used by the laser, and the penetration depth, as these determine how effective the product is in stimulating the follicle. Spending some time researching the various products on offer before you decide which to go for will help ensure maximal results and value for money.

Most people will require once or twice weekly sessions of laser treatment over a period of months to obtain good hair growth results, so whichever system you choose, ensure that you comply with the recommended guidelines for use and don’t expect too much, too soon. Also, consider combining your laser growth treatments with specialised shampoos and scalp products for better results. And as always ensure that your dietary intake of vitamins and minerals is optimal as this is essential for follicle function.

Laser treatment for hair loss has helped millions of people worldwide but as with anything, please speak to your medical advisor before making a decision to embark upon this revolutionary treatment.
