Laser Therapy for the Regrowth of Your Lovely Locks

More recent LLLT (low level laser therapy) 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 device can now be manufactured to a size smaller than your finger and at a very low cost.

A company developed and patented the first miniature LLLT hair laser combwth 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 laser 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 percent of users will see positive results after 8 weeks of treatment with another 45 percent seeing benefits from 10–16 weeks onward.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared the laser comb device for use in the treatment of hair loss and the stimulation 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.
