"In the last couple of years I was loosing hair
rapidly. There was no hair volume on the top of my
head. My hair was getting thinner and thinner. In
three months at Trichology & Hair Solutions of
Virginia, I could see darker thicker hair filling in
my widows peak and all over the top of my head. It
seems to have reversed the process of my hair
thinning. I feel like I have gone back in time 5-10
years."

The
Principles
of Low
Level Laser
Therapy
or
photo-biotherapy
are as old
as sunlight
itself.
Harnessing
and refining
the therapy
with low
reactive
lasers, like
Hair Clinic
Laser Light
Hair
Therapy, is
relatively
new. Low
level lasers
are "soft"
lasers,
often
referred to
as "cold"
laser, and
do not have
the
thermal-component
to cut, burn
or vaporize
tissue. Low
Level Laser
Therapy (LLLT)
is based on
the
scientific
principal of
photo
biotherapy.
Photo
biotherapy
occurs when
laser light
is absorbed
by the
cells, which
stimulates
cell
metabolism
that enables
damaged
cells to
repair
themselves.
Photo-biochemical
changes in
cells can
only be
achieved
with the
correct
amount of
light
energy,
delivered at
the
appropriate
wavelength.
According to
Dr. David G.
Williams,
laser
researcher,
low level
laser
therapy, or
LLLT, is a
miraculous
healing
tool.
LIGHT ENERGY
Normal white light produces a thermal effect in the skin. This
is due to its relatively high energy output, with a large share
of it's light in the infrared spectrum being absorbed by the
water in the outer cell structures. Laser light, with one
specific wavelength, penetrates deep into the layers of skin and
is absorbed, provoking a photo-biochemical chain reaction. The
Laser Light Hair Therapy device has 30 diode lasers mounted in a
half sphere, which rotate around the entire head, delivering
laser energy to the tissues of the scalp. Laser energy
(Photons), penetrate deep into these issues and are absorbed by
deeper cell structures, resulting in a photo-biochemical chain
of cellular and sub-cellular events. Laser Light Hair Therapy is
clinically proven, in European studies, to stimulate these
cellular and sub-cellular events, leading to a dramatic increase
in micro-circulation of blood supplies, cessation of hair loss
and stimulation of hair regrowth.
Various light sources including lasers have been used in
attempts to stimulate hair growth and stop the progression of
hair loss since the 1950's.

In 1984 Dr. Trelles showed in one study that patients with
alopecia areata who were treated with HeNe Laser 632.8 nm
showed a good response. Dr. Trelles reported that most of
the patients with alopecia areata responded well after only
6 to 8 treatments administered twice a week for four weeks.
The HeNe laser was placed 30 centimeters from the alopecia
area with dosages ranging from 3-4 joule per sq. cm. No
fibers or lenses were used. In the same study, microscopic
evaluation of the hair shaft structure on the alopecia
areata irradiated areas showed a clear modulla rich in
Keratin after treatment. Daily treatments appeared to
prevent regrowth, causing irritation with a probable
increase in hair loss.
-
At the 4th Annual Meeting of the Japan Laser Therapy
Association in 1992, success was reported with an increase
in both hair growth and the density of the hair follicle in
the laser treated areas of both male and female stress
alopecia and alopecia areata patients, with only one failure
out of 40 cases reported in two papers.
Two clinical double blind controlled studies have been completed
on Laser Light Hair Therapy
-
Cessation of hair loss, increased regrowth of hair with
improved hair quality.
-
Increased circulation in scalp blood flow.
Hair Loss(Study #1)
A
double blind comparative study of laser treatment with placebo
laser (LED)5 for treatment of Hereditary Androgenetic Alpecia in
young males. Abstract: A double blind placebo controlled study
was carried out to evaluate the effect of laser therapy by
comparing Laser Light hair Therapy (inGaAl, 670 nm) and a
placebo laser (LED). The duration of hair loss and baldness,
according to the Hamilton Classification, were recorded. A skin
biopsy for histological examination was taken before and after
treatment. In addition a photograph was taken of the patient at
the same time. Hair shaft thickness was measured with hair
stretched equipment where the hairs can be stretched on a graded
scale from 0-10, normal value of hair shaft being 0.5.
There results were confirmed by histological examination. All
patients with the exception of one in the laser-treated group
showed a complete cessation of hair loss. All patients except 3,
showed a clear regrowth of hair with a reduction of as least one
category in the Hamiliton classification. Pre-treatment
typically showed the dermis with large, relatively normal
amounts of follicles. Most of them were in the telogenphase and
did not show any real hair. Some of the follicles were widened
with keratin taps at the follicle opening. Post-treatment showed
the dermis with almost the same amount of hair follicles as
pre-treatment, although a number of new follicles could be seen
with clearly noticeable hair growth. 50% of the follicles were
now in the anagen phase. A clearly visible regrowth of hair was
found in post-treatment sample comparison. When comparing the
histological findings, transformation into more anagenic hair
follicles could be observed in 83% of the patients on laser
treatment, but in none of the placebo patients.
Out
of 18 patients, 14 showed an increase in hair thickness, and all
18 patients showed improvement in general hair shaft quality.
When measured with the hair stretcher, the results showed no
improvement in the placebo group or any adverse effects of the
treatment. The present double-blind study definitely showed that
regrowth of new hair can be achieved in most middle-aged and
younger males, with typical male pattern baldness, when the
scalp is irradiated with Laser Light Hair Therapy for 30
minutes twice weekly for 5 weeks, with follow-up maintenance
treatments.
IS LASER HAIR THERAPY™ SAFE?
Yes!
The Laser Hair Therapy ™ devise is safe and is classified as a
Class IIIA cosmetic laser.
The
energy produced by the photons does not have the thermal
component to cause thermal injuries to users or operators. Laser
light energy does not change or alter molecular structures.
Low
Level Laser has been used for numerous conditions in Europe for
over thirty years and has been the subject of over 2,500
scientific papers, published worldwide. There are no reported
side effects to the treatment which is painless, and non-toxic.
