Low-level laser therapy works!

Hair loss can be devastating for both men and women, it can impact their confidence and social skills. AGA – Androgenic Alopecia is the most common type of hair loss disorder across both sexes. Large percentages of 50-75% of men and women are affected by AGA as they age, 40 and over[1 –3]. However, there is hope for those dealing with hair loss!

How Does Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Work?

LLLT is an approved treatment by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), known to help increase blood circulation to the hair follicles [6]. Laser therapy has demonstrated proliferative effects in a variety of tissues and cell types, including hair follicles [7]. LLLT induces proliferation, migration, oxygenation, anti-inflammation, adhesion and transition of hair follicles from telogen (non-growing) to anagen (growing). All studies including LLLT found significantly more dense hair following treatment protocols. SUCRA (surface under the cumulative ranking) scores proved Low-Level Laser Therapy to be one of the most effective hair growth treatments, followed by scalp injections, finasteride and minoxidil [7–8].

Low-Level Laser Therapy is increasing hair density and promoting growth in both men and women, protocols are assigned by their providers. Higher quality laser devices are available in professional offices and there are also at-home devices readily available to the consumer. We suggest you still see a provider to determine the best treatment laser & treatment protocol for your individual hair loss needs.

was i born bald?

Was I Born Bald????

Hair loss and thinning hair are conditions that are not all equal country to country.

If you are a male living in the Czech Republic, you have a 42.7% chance of going bald. The United States ranks 6^th behind the United Kingdom for bald men.

If you want to keep your locks, hop the next flight to Japan, or Hong Kong! Sounds great to me since sushi and Asian cuisine is my all-time favorite.

You are not alone! Julius Caesar hid a receding hairline beneath that crown of olive leaves, and Napoleon rushed into battle with a comb-over.

Of course, plenty of our country’s forefathers donned powdered wigs to cover patchy hair loss (theirs brought on by a syphilis outbreak), and presidents John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, and Dwight Eisenhower, among others, had less than a full head of hair.

Even modern-day pop culture has enlisted many a chrome dome into its ranks — here’s looking at you, Bruce Willis, Jude Law, Mathew McConaughey, Sir Elton, and the list goes on!

If you’re balding, to say you’re not alone with this problem is no overstatement. A reported 70 percent of men will be affected by hair loss during their lifetime. Many times, balding is a natural part of the aging process, but certainly not always.

Since the problem of baldness goes so far back, it can be difficult to understand why there’s not yet a cure for it.

Fortunately, there are numerous treatments that are proven effective for thinning hair and hair loss. Hair growth is possible, and the hair loss gene can be turned around with work and commitment.

Educate yourself, do not believe ONE solution (other than transplants) will do the trick!
