Laser Hair Therapy

What Can I Expect From Laser Treatments

If you are losing your hair, we know you want a convenient, cost-effective solution that will deliver real results, real fast. When used as directed, over 90% of Laser users notice positive benefits starting in as little as 8 weeks. These results include: increased hair growth, cessation of hair loss, faster growing hair, more manageability, and more vibrant color.

It is believed that the Laser is an Anagen inductor promoting healthy Anagen (terminal) hair growth. Hair grows in cycles, Anagen - the active growth phase, Catagen - the resting phase, and Telogen - the shedding phase. At any given time, 10-20% of your hair is in the Catagen or Telogen phase waiting to be shed and replaced by an active Anagen hair (similar to the way a baby tooth is pushed out by a permanent tooth).

The Laser stimulates the scalp and energizes follicles in the Catagen or Telogen phase causing a new Anagen hair to be formed. These new Anagen hairs cause the old Catagen and Telogen hairs to shed now as opposed to being shed at a later time. This increase in Anagen hair activity results in a slight increase in shedding, but should not be a cause for concern. The hairs being shed during this time are being replaced by new healthier hairs. Supporting this hypothesis are user reports of increased hair shedding during the onset of treatment. This is a positive sign and, in-line with the Anagen induction hypothesis, indicates that hairs in the Catagen and Telogen phases are being stimulated to fall out in order to be replaced by healthier, thicker hair.

If you notice increased fallout during the early phases of your treatment, this is a positive indicator that the Laser is working for you.

Below is a breakdown of how a typical male user responds to treatments with the Laser.

Weeks 1-6:

As early as the first treatment, users report that their hair feels livelier, is more manageable, and that their scalp feels healthier. Having "better hair days," noticing more vibrant shine, having less scalp itch, and experiencing significantly decreased hair fallout are just a few of the immediate benefits of using the Laser.

As Early as Week 8:

Consistent with clinical data, 45% of users start seeing noticeable hair growth in as early as 8 weeks. It may start with small "peach fuzz" like hairs sprouting from the scalp, and may also include a general thickening of the hair. Additionally, improved manageability and increased shine are strong indicators that the Laser is working for you.

Weeks 8-12:

During this period, another 45% of users start to experience the full benefits of using the Laser. A cessation of hair loss, marked new growth, and all of the benefits as described in the previous section.

Post 12 Weeks:

Most users of the Laser experience benefits within the first 12 weeks. It is not uncommon for some users to require more than 12 weeks to experience the full benefits. Please remember, it is difficult to see hair growth on the top of your head. We recommend having a relative or hair dresser examine your scalp for new hair growth. It is important to note, though, that sometimes perceived benefits do not parallel actual benefits. While you may not experience dramatic improvements that are easily noticeable, little indicators such as increased shine and manageability, or an overall feeling of better scalp health, are signs that the Laser is positively effecting your hair.

Clinical studies demonstrate that a Laser user should see an average of 20% new hair growth. This is statistically significant, but just as importantly most users experience a reduction in shedding. This reduction in shedding is extremely significant. If left untreated, your hair loss would have continued. Using the Laser to stabilize your hair loss will help to maintain your existing hair and retard the progression of pattern baldness.

If you don't see results between 12 and 20 weeks, we encourage you to continue using the Laser on a regular basis. Many of our users report that even in this time frame, with continued use, they slowly start to notice a thickening of their hair, and signs of re-growth.
