What is Cold Laser?
Low level Laser Therapy (LLT) or "Cold" laser light is compressed light of a wavelength from the cold, red part of the spectrum. It is a concentrated beam of light that can penetrate the surface of the skin with no heating (thermal) effect, no damage to the skin and no known side effects in over 25 years use in Europe.
How does Cold Laser Light hair therapy work?
Cold Laser therapy irradiates the entire scalp increasing microcirculation of oxygenated blood supplies to the hair follicles./pure red ‘soft' laser light stimulates the scalp, significantly increasing the number of red corpuscles that deliver life giving oxygen and nutrients to the hair bulb. Hair follicles, which are ‘dormant' but not dead, can often be rehabilitated and debris is flushed from the hair shaft, swelling the cortex and closing the cuticle. Established hair becomes thicker, looks and feels softer and is easier to manage. In 90% of cases a significant amount of re growth becomes very apparent.
Being a Laser treatment, does it hurt?
No it doesn't. The cold or soft lasers do not have the thermal component to cut, burn or vaporize tissue. The only side effect is: it stops hair coming out, makes it thicker and fuller and stronger, and promotes growth of Vellus hairs or dormant roots.
Is Cold Laser therapy safe?
Yes, the devise is classified as a certified Class 111A cosmetic laser. Laser light energy does not change or alter molecular structures, it stimulates the body's mechanism to repair and heal itself.
Who is the best candidate for treatment?
Men in the early stages of hair loss and women who are experiencing a general thinning of hair It is often used by menopausal women, chemotherapy patients, clients with thin, damaged hair and clients suffering sudden hair loss from stress.
Does it work for everyone?
We have a 90% success rate through our own Hair Clinics of re growth of lost hair; however before you are accepted for laser treatment we have to give a microscopic analyses of the scalp. If after a 500 magnification of the scalp Vellus hairs can be seen then you will be accepted for treatment
