• Increases the blood supply to the scalp by 54% after only one treatment.

• Stimulates hair follicles.

• Stops the progression of hair loss in 85% of patients.

• Increased hair strength and elasticity.

• Fuller, shinier, softer, thicker looking hair.

• For post-operative transplant surgery, such treatments have been shown to help newly transplanted hair to thrive and increases the healing process.

• Repairs damage normally caused by chemical services.

• Delivers light energy directly from different positions without loss of light properties to insure appropriate dosage.

 
THE SCIENCE OF LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY

In 1964, Professor Andre Mester began experimenting with the use of low-power laser energy in Budapest, Hungary. In his experiments with wounds on mice, he noticed rapid healing due to microcirculation of blood supply. This healing was also obvious in Laser Hair Rejuvenation treatment of diabetic patients suffering with dystrophic sores.

This theory, through its evolution, has since been refined and has widely become one of the most popular non-invasive hair loss treatments.

Until recently, the use of such treatments has been relatively underutilized in North America. Today, however, there is increasing awareness and acceptance of such treatments. 

WHAT IS LOW LEVEL LASER LIGHT?

Simply stated, it is compressed light of a wavelength from the cold, red part of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. It is different from natural light in that it is one precise color; it is coherent (it travels in a straight line), monochromatic (a single wavelength) and columnated (it concentrates its beam in a defined location or spot).

HOW DOES LOW LEVEL LASER LIGHT BENEFIT ME?

Research suggests that laser works by three mechanisms:

Energization --Transforming laser energy into cellular energy. Laser light increases the energy available to cells so they take in nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. Not surprisingly many, scientists and physicians have been using low level laser over the past 30 years to speed wound healing and produce new tissue.

Circulation – Increasing blood and lymph circulation through vasodilatation. Microscopic studies have shown laser increases circulation and oxygenation of the blood to the scalp and hair bulb. Laser also removes calcification and blockages around the hair bulb; as well as increases cell replacement or regenerative activity. Laser helps hair to improve in fullness, shine, body and elasticity; therefore problems such as excessively oily or dry scalp, dandruff and itchiness can also be reduced.

Vibration – Bringing cells into harmonious oscillation patterns. The soft tissue and fluids in our bodies actually vibrate! They do this within a frequency range similar to that of cold-beam, red-light laser. When its vibrations become irregular or out-of-step, it can be brought back into “synchronization” by being irradiated with low level laser working at quantum level.
 

"What are the Real Benefits?"

Both men and women experiencing early stages of hair loss (Norwood 1-3), may benefit from and see results from these type of treatments.

It has also been shown to be especially effective in many men and women when used in a multi-therapeutic setting which includes the incorporation of a recognized program of hair loss control and prevention. 

IS IT SAFE?

Yes. LLLT meets all international safety standards and legislative specifications of a “non-significant risk” product, and is classified as a Class IIIA cosmetic laser.  It may be used in conjunction with hair transplant surgery as well as other hair loss treatment procedures.

HOW SOON CAN I SEE RESULTS?

The appearance of reduction of hair loss usually occurs after five to six treatments. Some patients and clients have also indicated that they have also experienced some regrowth after 10-12 treatments.

WHAT ABOUT HOME TREATMENT?

For you convenience the laser comb is available to use in the privacy of your home. A new study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology showed a 93% increase in hair among the respondents using the Laser Comb in the study! Long term international and Recent Clinical Trials with the Laser Comb suggests many benefits from laser hair treatments.

The Boston Laser we use in our clinic emits the same frequency of light (632.8nm) as the Laser Comb in the study. Laser Comb received certification by the Canadian Ministry of Health and has recently been approved by the FDA to strengthen hair, prevent hair loss and stimulate re-growth of hair in men and women. Barbara Walters on 'The View' recently called the HairMax Laser Comb a 'Hot New Product'.
