Laser Treatments Reduce Hair Loss

By: Home | Health-and-Fitness


If you are one who has waited too long to start your hair loss treatment program, then I have good news for you. Although, early treatment for male or female pattern baldness is certainly the optimum time to get a jump on hair loss, adding laser hair loss treatments to your hair loss treatment regimen will improve your results even if you are in more advanced stages of male or female pattern baldness.

An effective hair loss tool

If you have more advanced stages of hair loss and find that your current hair loss treatments aren't producing quite the results you want, don't give up. There is an effective treatment you can add to your arsenal of hair loss tools to ramp up hair growth. People are having good results from laser hair loss treatments in stopping hair loss and restoring hair. The interesting thing about the recent studies is that 90% of the people that received laser therapy had benefited from reduced hair loss, hair re growth or both. More than 40 percent of the participants in the study experienced positive results as early as 6 weeks and the ofther half between 6 to 12 weeks.

Laser therapy improves results gained through DHT inhibitors.

Studies have also shown that laser therapy improves the performance of quality oral hair loss products as well. For oral or topical hair loss products to be effective, they have to deliver sufficient amounts of their active ingredients to the essential parts of the hair follicles. Laser treatments significantly increase the amount of oral DHT inhibitor that reach the hair follicles due to the increased blood flow achieved from the treatments. DHT inhibitors simply work better combined with laser treatments. More DHT inhibitor reaches the hair follicles.

It Improves the benefits of topical hair growth stimulants.

However, the good news doesn't stop here. Laser hair loss treatments also have improved the results people are getting with topical hair growth stimulants that contain Minoxidil.

The hand held laser.

A hand held laser is very convenient and easy to use. It only takes 10 to 15 minutes three times per week at home. While hand held lasers are not quite on par with in-clinic laser therapy, they still are quite effective in treating hair loss. Beyond the initial purchase of the laser, there is no expense in administering this treatment from home. In-clinic laser therapy of course cost money with each visit.

FDA gives clearance for compact hair loss lasers.

The hand held version of the therapeutic laser has been medically tested and proven to be both safe and effective as a non surgical way of treating hair loss. The FDA cleared a hand held laser made by Lexington LLC as a medical device, and as a result, offers an attractive option for hair growth for medical practitioners.

Clinical results

Lexington conducted an extensive clinical study in four different locations across the United States and submitted the results to the FDA according to their submission requirements. 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.

David Michaels, Managing Director of Lexington LLC, shares his thoughts on this momentous announcement, "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."
