Laser Hair Growth
If you are looking for a solution for your hair loss and thinning hair, biostimulation lasers might be the solution you seek. Across the country, biostimulation lasers are now being used to successfully stimulate hair regrowth.
Biostimulation lasers provide a type of therapy called low-level laser therapy (LLLT). New Jersey Plastic Surgery offers the iGrow™system for low-level laser therapy treatments.
How Do Lasers Cause Hair Regrowth?
Clinical studies have show that over time, low-level laser therapy stimulates thicker, fuller hair growth. The exact reason that biostimulation lasers stimulate hair growth is unknown. The treatment is thought to work because the laser light stimulates cell health in the hair follicle and promotes blood flow in the scalp.
Does Laser Treatment For Hair Growth Hurt?
Laser treatment for hair growth does not hurt. During low-level laser therapy, red lights on a specific wavelength are directed at the scalp. Because these low-level, biostimulation lasers are cold lasers, they do not generate heat. Most patients do not report any sensation during treatment.
What Is A Single Treatment Session Like?
During a single low-level laser therapy treatment, you sit beneath a device that directs laser light to the scalp. Some machines resemble an old-fashioned hood hair dryer. Other devices are worn like a helmet. A treatment session lasts 15-20 minutes.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The best results of low-level laser therapy for hair growth are achieved during a long-term treatment series. Before undertaking low-level laser treatment to stimulate hair growth, you should be aware that a treatment series is a long-term commitment.
A series of treatments can be as many as 2-3 treatments per week for one year. Depending on the specific laser used, an individual treatment can take as little as 15 or 20 minutes. After the initial year of treatment, less frequent maintenance treatments should be undertaken.
Is Laser Treatment For Hair Growth Safe?
Biostimulation lasers are safe, and are cleared for use by the FDA.
