What is Low Level Laser Therapy and How Does it Work?


Low Level Laser Hair Therapy is a treatment used to treat those who suffer from thinning/damaged hair, or androgenetic alopecia, also known as pattern balding. Androgenetic alopecia affects 70% of men and 40% of women.  Laser Hair Therapy is a safe hair restoration option that can be greatly effective as a stand-alone treatment or as an additional treatment after a hair transplantation to speed up healing and hair quality. Low Level Laser Therapy is also called red light therapy, cold laser, cool laser, soft laser, biostimulation, and photobiomodulation.

Laser hair therapy is FDA approved and utilizes red lasers, typically 630-670 nanometers in wavelength. These lasers penetrate the scalp to increase the blood flow. This then stimulates metabolism in the catagen and telogen follicles, which can result in an increase of hair in the anagen stage.

“The photons of light act on cytochrome C oxidase leading to the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is converted to cyclic AMP in the hair follicle cells, releasing energy and stimulating metabolic processes necessary for hair growth.
Release of nitric oxide from cells leads to increased vascularisation to the scalp distributing nutrients and oxygen to the hair roots.” - Anoma Ranaweera B.V. Sc; PhD



There are no true downsides to laser hair therapy, it is relative inexpensive, clean and painless, no adverse effects have been reported, and it requires minimal time commitment. You can even have a laser treatment on your lunch break!
