What Is Low Level Laser Therapy?

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a new and innovative way to help in hair growth. It is a stimulation therapy often also referred to as red light therapy or cold laser therapy.

A Laser Helmet is placed on top of a patient’s head for LLLT. The device emits red light with a wavelength of 630-670 nm which is perfect for hair growth. This frequency of light penetrates a few millimetres into the scalp. It stimulates follicles to stop resting and start growing hair again. That growth stage is called the anagen phase.

It is non-invasive and absolutely pain-free. It makes use of clinical strength laser technology to acquire the desired result.

The Benefits of Low Level Laser Therapy

LLLT stimulates the scalp and hair follicles and has been demonstrated to increase blood supply around the hair follicles by over 50% after initial treatment. Research studies have also shown that it has the ability to stop the progression of hair loss in over 80 % of hair loss treatment patients.

Helpful for Hair Transplant Patients

For post-operative hair transplant surgery patients, laser hair therapy has demonstrated the ability to help newly transplanted hair thrive and nurture the healing process.

Helpful for Chemically Damaged Hair

LLLT can be especially helpful for repairing chemically damaged hair since it provides hair and scalp treatment from multiple angles, ensuring proper dosage.
