What is LLLT or Low Level Light Laser
Therapy?
Low Level Light Laser Therapy is a proven non-surgical
technology using low level light energy to treat and
control hair loss and help men and women with fine thin
hair. This technology has been seen on many T.V.
shows and more recently on the Nashville based show
“The Doctors” hosted by Nashville’s Dr. Travis Stork.
During the show, Dr. Zerring illustrated how the new
hooded laser emits low level light therapy to “Increase
cell metabolism to help the hair grow thicker and fuller.”
He explains that low level laser photons irradiate the
entire scalp increasing micro-circulation of blood
supplies to the hair follicles. This photobioactivating
treatment uses a special light source to increase blood
flow and follicle microcirculation. This pure red, “soft”
laser stimulates the scalp, significantly increasing the
number of red corpuscles that deliver life giving oxygen
and vital nutrients to the hair bulb. This in turn
increases nutrient supply to increase skin repair and
hair growth. It also activates the body’s antiinflammatory
repair and regenerative mechanisms
which have been shown to significantly increase healing
after hair restoration surgery.
Hair follicles that are dormant and not dead can often be
rehabilitated. Existing established hair becomes thicker,
looks and feels softer and is easier to manage.
This wavelength doesn’t burn or damage tissue like the
higher wavelength lasers used in surgery to cut or
cauterize tissue.
What are the benefits of Anagen Laser Hair
Therapy?
Using the correct power and wavelength, the low
level light can:
Increase blood supply by 54% after one
treatment.
Stimulate hair re-growth.
Help to control and manage hair loss.
Increase hair tensile strength and overall
hair shaft quality.
Enhance the lasting effects of salon,
chemical processes such as colors and
perms.
Help to create the healthiest environment
for your hair.
Scientific Measured Benefits of Low Level Light Laser.
Professor Andre Mester is considered the father of Laser
Biostimulation. In 1967 professor Mester noted that while
experimenting with laboratory mice he discovered that low energy
laser radiation accelerated healing of wounds and damaged hairs
around the wounded area. He noted a rapid increase in the
amount of collagen, an increase in micro-circulation, quicker regrowth
and thickening of the hairs in the affected area.
In clinical trials performed by world renowned Dr. Unger, he
discovered that “97% of patients have had some improvement
in hair characteristics, stabilization of hair loss, or hair regrowth.”
Hair re-growth is defined by Dr. Unger and
colleagues as an increase of hair count of 11% or more from
baseline count.
In the most recently conducted FDA clinical trials of the
device, patients studied were men and women with thinning
hair in the scalp area. The patients received two low-level
laser light treatments per week over a six month period.
Results have shown:
• 100% of men had stabilization of hair loss in frontal
and vertex (top of the head) areas;
• 84.6% of men had hair re-growth (11% or more
from baseline) in the frontal area;
• 82.8% of men had hair re-growth (11% or more
from baseline) in the vertex area;
• 87.5% of women had stabilization of hair loss in
the frontal area;
• 100% of women had stabilization of hair loss in the
vertex area;
• 75% of women had hair re-growth (11% or more
from baseline) in the frontal area;
• and, 6.4% of women had hair re-growth (11% or
more from baseline) in the vertex.
“No side effects of low-level laser therapy have been
observed and there have been no reports of eye
damage from exposure to low-level laser light,” Dr. Unger
adds
