Hair loss is a big worry
to many people, both male and female
Hair thinning is a scary reality for men and women alike.
While many live in a state of denial until their thinning
or baldness is irreversible, recognizing the problem
early is your best defense against further thinning.
Blood flow to the scalp A
study in Japan found that blood flow to the scalp of
young men diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia (male
pattern baldness) was 2.6 times lower than in the normal
control group. A research team at L’Oreal’s
subsidiary, Inneov, identified diminished circulation
as a critical element of the balding process that needs
to addressed in the treatment process, if one is to obtain
cosmetically significant results.
The discovery that increasing
blood flow to the scalp helps stave off baldness
may be old news to many barbers. For years, they
have been advising clients to massage their scalps
as a way of stimulating circulation and hair
growth. |
Diminished
peripheral circulation has also been
implicated in what is termed “senescent” or
age related thinning, a universally occurring condition
that results in thin, wispy, see-through hair, that
is common in both genders in their late 50’s
and beyond.
Stress or
Tension One particular condition
that can cause hair loss due to poor circulation
is tension or stress. When someone is stressed, their
scalp tissues tighten – thus reducing blood
flow to the extremities of your body. This includes
blood flow to your hands, feet, and yes – your
head as well. Once the capillaries constrict, the
hair roots no longer have enough nourishment.
"Shedding 50 to 100
hairs a day is normal. When a hair is shed, it
is replaced by a new hair from the same follicle
and the growing cycle starts again. Scalp hair
grows about one-half inch a month. As people
age, the rate of hair growth slows" |
"Clients are reporting Low-Level Laser
Light ss one of the most effective therapies to treat
hair loss. Currently, over-the-counter laser therapy
devices for hair growth are available through convenient
hands-free systems, which may be used at home, and does
not require the supervision of a physician."
Low level laser therapy is intended
for men and women with thinning hair
or pattern baldness caused by a hereditary condition.
Laser Therapy Background and History
In 1903,
the second Nobel Prize in Medicine (Physiology) was
awarded to Niels Ryberg Finsen, M.D., in recognition
of his contribution to the treatment of diseases with
concentrated light energy, PhotoTherapy. Dr. Finsen
was recognized for opening a whole new avenue for medical
science.
It was this Nobel Prize winners important discovers
in the field of PhotoTherapy that laid the foundation
for the invention of the Laser Comb for the treatment
of hair. Dr. Finsen is also responsible for bringing
early credibility to this therapy.
"In 1967,
a Hungarian scientist studying the use of lasers for
other purposes in mice, discovered that visible red laser
light may stimulate hair growth. The hair on the backs
of the mice were shaved in the area to receive treatment.
One group of mice received laser treatments, and one
group did not. The hair within the shaven area grew back
more quickly in the mice treated with laser."
Previously, laser photo therapy was only available
at expensive clinics and salons in Europe, Australia,
and elsewhere worldwide.
The underlying technology of the hand held Laser Comb
is based on Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or Laser PhotoTherapy.
It is thanks to these many years of research that the
hand held hand held Laser Comb is available to user with
the backup of solid scientific backing.
There have been over 3,500 positive scientific studies of Laser PhotoTherapy
(Low Level Laser Therapy) published internationally to date.
How LLLT
Works
Modern scientific research has proved
that laser can penetrate through surface tissue to enhance
the activity of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is
one of the key matters to delivery intercellular energy,
thus small power and low energy laser has obvious activation
effect on cells, can influence metabolism, boost the
tissue regeneration and accelerate the anti-inflammation.
Light from a laser has an effect on your body when the
specific wavelength of light is absorbed by molecules
of the target tissue. When light energy is absorbed by
target tissue molecules, the energy level of the molecules
is increased and the molecules respond by "working
off" the excess energy with adaptive changes. These
changes may be chemical or physical and they may have
biological effects on the target tissue or surrounding
tissues.
Clinical evidence to show
laser hair therapy is effective?
Physicians have varying views on whether or not low level laser therapy
is effective. While some physicians reject its use entirely, others believe
that low level laser therapy can provide benefit for some men and women
suffering from androgenic alopecia (genetic baldness). It has also been
suggested that it may assist a hair transplant patient’s postoperative
wound healing process and expedite hair growth.
¦Results of a double-blind, sham device-controlled,
randomised multicentre trial have shown that 110 male
patients with Norwood-Hamilton classes IIa-V androgenic
alopecia, exhibited a significantly greater increase
in mean terminal hair density compared with subjects
in the sham device group after 26 weeks therapy with
the laser light comb (p <0.0001)
Dr. Charles (one of the well
respected members of the Coalition of Independent
Hair Restoration Physicians) believes it may
provide similar hair loss prevention benefit
to Rogaine in the mid vertex area and crown.
Benefits in the frontal area include an increase
in overall hair quality rather than hair loss
prevention |
Hair growth in subjects who used laser
therapy increased by an average of 19 normal-size hairs
per square centimeter, while it decreased by an average
of 7 normal-size hairs per square centimeter in those
using the placebo device.
Consistent with this evidence for primary
effectiveness, significant improvements in overall hair
regrowth were demonstrated in terms of patients' subjective
assessment (p < 0.015) at 26 weeks over baseline.
Treated subjects also experienced more favourable hair attributes, such
as thicker, shinier, and more manageable hair compared to those who used
the placebo device.
When interviewed by the "New
York Times," dermatologist Sandy Tsao, an
instructor at Harvard Medical School, expressed
skepticism. Lasers have been primarily used to
remove hair--not encourage regrowth. However,
Tsao indicated that when lasers were used to
remove hair at inadequate energy, hair growth
was noted. "So now the theory is, if you
can stimulate the follicle to reactivate hair
cells, you can get new hair growth," Tsao
says. Dr. Alan Bauman, who was featured on "Dateline," calls
laser hair restoration "low laser light
therapy," or LLLT. Bauman explains that
the laser light is absorbed by cells, which in
turn repairs them and encourages regrowth. According
to the "New York Times" article, laser
hair restoration won't bring dead hair follicles
back to life; however, it will stimulate follicles
in the state of decline and make existing hair
thicker and fuller. |
Benefits
of laser therapy for hair loss
¦ Low level laser thereapy can be used
in both men and women
¦ No adverse effects have been reported
¦ It is clean and painless
¦ Low level laser hair therapy is relatively inexpensive
¦ It requires minimal time commitment
¦ Some low level laser therapy devices are portable
¦ Hair growth may occur on the top of the head/crown and along the hairline
of forehead
Improvement is reported in at least some users after 12 to 26 weeks of
use, with reduced hair fall and noticeable hair growth.
The long term clinical research on female baldness and
male baldness carried out by International Laser Association
indicated that “cool electric wave” stimulating
biotherapy will bring numerous benefits to the skin and
hair quality.
The Laser Comb is a low-power hand-held laser device
designed especially for the scalp. It should be used
three times per week and involves slow combing of the
hair for 10-20 minutes
And how did I overcome the shame, embarrassment,
and dread that baldness once inspired in me? And even
more importantly, how can other men Aand women achieve
the same blissful reversal to their own hair loss?
