WHAT IS LASER HAIR THERAPY?

Laser Hair Therapy (LHT) is a new, non-surgical, scientific approach in the treatment of hair loss, thinning hair, and scalp problems. LHT has been medically tested and is FDA-approved for safety and effectiveness.

The LHT non-surgical treatments utilize a device containing 110-160 therapeutic soft low light level lasers. LHT delivers light energy directly from 110-160 laser diodes covering your head. LHT functions on the same scientific principle, as that of photo-bio-stimulation; laser light stimulates cell metabolism and helps damaged cells to repair themselves. This breakthrough technology has recently been featured on national newscasts across the country. Physicians are praising this new technology as an effective treatment of hair loss, when used in conjunction with proper scalp and hair hygiene products, such as HLCC™ Complete, the most potent natural DHT inhibitor and 5% Minoxidil w/ 5% Saw Palmetto.
 

THE HISTORY OF LOW LEVEL LASER HAIR THERAPY

In 1964, Professor Andre Mester was experimenting in Budapest, Hungary with the use of low-level laser energy ("soft cool" photo light that penetrates the surface of the skin with no heating effect, no damage to the skin and no known negative side effects) to treat skin conditions in diabetic patients. He discovered that sores that would not heal were healed. He also, to his amazement, observed an accelerated hair growth and thickening of hair in the treated areas. Professor Mester’s chance discovery was the beginning of an entire new science devoted to developing practical medical procedures, using low-level energy lasers.

The modern history of medical lasers began in the 70's and owes much to IBM. Doctors working in the IBM laboratories were the first to use lasers to remove tissue without causing any heat damage to surrounding areas.

This pioneering work paved the way for others, like Dr. Steven Trokel, a New York City ophthalmologist, who performed the first laser eye surgery in 1987 and led to the most significant advancement in medical applications thus far--the pulsed laser. The pulsed- laser revolutionized the practice of plastic and cosmetic surgery by making safe, consistent laser resurfacing possible.

Today, thousands of hospitals, clinics and doctors worldwide are using lasers to safely treat a variety of medical conditions that previously where not treatable or hard to treat.

Europeans have benefited for years from what is now termed Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), the non-invasive, breakthrough technology used to enhance the appearance of hair.

In fact, the use of this breakthrough treatment for both men and women is supported with more than 3,500 published scientific studies worldwide, for example:

In a clinical study published in International Journal of Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology (Volume 5, Number 2, 2003), it was reported that the "combined average hair count increase for all men and women (using laser hair therapy) in the temporal and vertex areas was 95.5% and tensile strength was increased 78.9%".

Further evidence of laser therapy efficacy was reported In a six-month Dateline news survey of volunteers using different hair loss treatments (a popular over the counter medication, an over the counter lotion combined with the medication, a European natural ingredient, laser therapy and hair transplantation).

Aug 21, 2009 – BOCA RATON, FL – A study conducted by Laboratoire Bio-EC — of Paris, France — on the on ex-vivo growth of hair from Low Level Laser Light exposure of hair follicles in culture medium were presented recently at the 17th Annual Meeting of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons (ISHRS). 

Michael Hamblin, PhD from Harvard Medical School/Wellman Center for Photomedicine, compared a dose of laser energy and a reference dose on the growth of hair in a lab culture to show that laser energy stimulated hair growth. Isolated follicles were placed in the Philpott hair culture medium, exposed to low level laser irradiation, and measured for hair length increases. Analysis of hairs grown ex-vivo exposed to the two laser doses, were photographed at regular intervals over ten days.

The conclusion of the study was that the wave length dose studied induced statistically significant increase in hair growth vs. control dose at the conclusion of the study.  The significance of these results is that it documents the ability of laser light to stimulate hair growth in vitro. The results showed that laser energy stimulated proliferation of cells in the hair matrix.

Now you have the opportunity to discover what Europeans have already discovered using laser hair therapy--thicker, fuller, shinier, and healthier looking hair.

Low Level Laser Therapy has been featured on news telecast stories all over the country on all of the major networks.
