Low-Level Laser Therapy for Hair Loss
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a noninvasive procedure for hair loss that uses laser light to restore hair follicles and hair growth. It improves blood flow to the scalp, increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the hair roots. LLLT is generally used for conditions like androgenetic alopecia in both men and women. It is a safe and painless treatment to reduce hair loss and improve hair density.
What is Low-Level Laser Therapy?
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a US FDA-approved, safe form of treatment for hair loss. It is used for the treatment of the androgenetic form of hair loss common in both men and women. It is also called red light therapy, cold laser, soft laser, biostimulation, and photobiomodulation.
Hair Loss
Androgenetic alopecia has an incidence of up to 70% of men and 40% of women at some point in their lifetime. While men typically present with a distinctive alopecia pattern involving hairline recession and vertex hair loss, women normally present with diffuse thinning of hair. Hair loss is a growing concern for everyone nowadays.
Devices Used for Therapy
Devices that emit light that can penetrate the scalp are used. Excimer (308 nm), helium-neon (632.8 nm), and fractional erbium-glass (1550 nm) lasers have been used. LLLT uses devices such as THERADOME with diodes that emit wavelength 630-670 nanometers, or infrared radiation, available as:
- In-salon hoods or overhead panels.
- Bonnet or head caps.
- Hand-held devices.
Causes of Hair Loss:
- Genetics
- Stressful life
- Androgenetic Alopecia
- Daily lifestyle
- Vitamin deficiency
- Less nutrition
