RED LIGHT FOR HAIR LOSS

Hair Loss is a frustrating problem often triggering anxiety in those are affected. Consultation with a dermatologist is recommended to secure an accurate diagnosis is important prior to embarking on treatment.
Often there are dormant hairs present in the scalp ready to grow. These potential hair, however, need additional stimulation prior to becoming cosmetically significant.

The most common form of hair loss is Androgenic Alopecia which will affect up to 70% of men and 40% of women over time. Treatment includes both preventing further hair loss and stimulating new growth.
There is a growing body of evidence that photobiomodulation is an effective therapy to help initiate and maintain new hair growth in these dormant follicles.

Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) or "cold laser" delivers high intensity red (630 nm) light. LLLT is believed to increase blood flow in the scalp and stimulate metabolism in the hair follicle resulting in the production of growing hair.
