Safety of Low Light Laser Hair Restoration for Women
Low level laser therapy (LLLT), also called cold laser therapy, or soft therapy, has various uses in the medical field, and is now used as a safe hair restoration method. Does this Spark an idea?
-
FDA-Approved
-
LLLT was originally approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a safe and effective method for temporary pain relief of musculoskeletal conditions, and has since been approved for a variety of other uses, including hair restoration.
Features
-
LLLT involves the use of ultra-low-energy laser beams, rather than thermal (heat) lasers, so there is no risk of burning or tissue damage.
-
How It Works
-
Beams are emitted from a handheld device or overhead panels and stimulate the cells of the scalp to trigger proper cell functionality and cell regeneration in the hair follicles. LLLT aims to stop hair-shedding, restore hair growth, and thicken thinning hair.
Painless Procedure
-
LLLT procedures are painless, and without any side effects or recovery time. The entire scalp is treated at once, and the session takes about an hour to complete.
Chemical-Free
-
LLLT involves no chemicals, and therefore hair growth is not chemically dependent. ColdLasers.org reports that studies in both the United States and Europe concluded that LLLT was effective for hair restoration and thickening without any chemicals or conjunctive treatments.
Home Use
-
In January 2007, the FDA approved a home-use LLLT energy-emitting comb for hair restoration. This is simply a compact version of the professional LLLT devices, with the same functions and purposes.
