Laser Hair Treatment - Top Ten Reasons

Here are top ten reasons to try a new laser hair treatment program.

1. The use of low level lasers in the treatment of hair loss is one of the latest technological breakthroughs in hair restoration therapy. This low level laser hair treatment has been used with great success in Europe for over 20 years. Although this treatment is relatively new to the United States, there are only a few companies who've been using laser for over 15 years.

2. Low light lasers use cool red light to stimulate blood flow to the scalp. There are many factors involved in male and female pattern hair loss - genetics, hormones, age. Hair follicles begin to fail because of an overabundance of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) in the body and lack of blood flow to that area of the scalp, from this DHT. Hair follicles shrink and eventually miniaturize and fail to thrive. Finally, hair follicles disappear altogether. Once follicles die, nothing can be done to help them. That's why it's important to start laser hair treatment when your hair is in the thinning stage, before it's gone altogether. Cool laser hair treatment stimulates this blood flow and restores vitality to the root, encouraging regrowth. More and more Doctors are embracing this new technology and bringing it into their hair loss clinics.

3. Laser hair treatment can be used in conjunction with your current mode of hair loss treatment. If you've been taking Rogaine or Propecia and seeing only minimal results, laser hair treatment can boost the effectiveness of both medications. By stimulating regrowth of hair follicles with the use of low level lasers, helps the medications work more effectively. In clinical studies, 45% of patients saw noticeable results in 6 - 8 weeks, and within 4 - 6 months, another 45% saw definite improvement in the quality of the hair that was re-growing, as well as in the thickness of their hair. In the landmark FDA study 93% experienced significant regrowth.

4. Laser hair treatment is pain-free and has virtually no side effects. For those fearful or reluctant to use prescription medication treatments such as Rogaine or Propecia, a laser hair treatment program offers a safe, effective and risk-free way to treat hair loss. Lasers stimulate blood flow to the scalp, and energized the hair follicles, but do not damage skin. You can now find laser treatment and home lasers from clinics with doctors with 10 or more years of experience with laser treatment. So when you choose to purchase laser treatment you don't have to settle for just anyone.

5. Laser hair treatment will not bust your budget. Compared to other hair loss treatments, laser hair treatments are affordable; the cost is much cheaper than alternatives like surgical hair restoration, or a high-end hair system that will require maintenance.

6. Laser hair treatment vs. hair systems - Hair systems require some kind of glue or adhesive to stay on. There is always the risk that an edge will come up or that even the best hair system will be detectable. With laser hair treatment, you're only dealing with your own natural hair. No glue, or hoping people don't notice you're wearing a hair system.

7. No surgery - There is no surgery involved with laser hair treatment and more importantly, no anesthesia required. Hair restoration surgery (or follicular hair transplantation surgery) is very expensive and requires 10 days of downtime following surgery. Laser hair treatments can be done on your lunch break or in front of the TV at night and require no down time. And there is no risk of infection involved as there is with any surgery.

8. Laser Hair Treatments are natural - Many people simply don't believe in taking medication or in doing surgery to restore hair. They want a more natural approach. Nothing is more natural than using light to regrow your hair. The kind of red light used in laser hair treatments is not the kind that will give you sunburn or encourage skin problems. On the contrary, it can even help flaky, itchy scalps to heal and naturally stimulate the health and vitality of the scalp and hair.

9. Perhaps you are self-conscious, and dread the idea of walking into a hair replacement or hair surgery clinic. If you dread the idea of walking in to be measured, prodded and evaluated, or if you're simply too shy to be bothered with it, a laser hair treatment program with an in-home hand-held laser comb or home clinic laser may be your best solution.

10. Hand-held laser combs, brushes and home clinic laser for home use - Home treatment options are an even more cost effective option. Use the laser 2 to 3 times per week at home for 20-30 minutes and it's yours forever. As your hair re-grows after using laser hair therapy, your confidence will grow as well. A thick head of healthy hair means a more vital, healthy, happy you.
