Nobody is happy to discover that they’re losing their hair. However, it isn’t always clear the best way to deal with the problem. One of the newer alternatives for people that don’t want to get hair replacement surgery is Laser Hair Rejuvenation in West Chester PA.
The Basics
Laser hair rejuvenation therapy, sometimes also called low dose laser therapy, involves using either hand-held devices, in-salon hoods, or head caps to deliver low-level laser therapy to the scalp and potentially stimulate new hair growth in the treatment area. The treatment uses infrared or red light, as these types of light can penetrate the scalp. However, treatment does involve visits of two or three times per week for up to 1 year for the 8 to 15-minute laser therapy sessions. Some people experience an improvement in as little as 12 to 26 weeks of treatment.
Type of Hair Loss
This therapy is currently being offered to help treat hereditary pattern balding in both men and women which are due to the impact of the hormone DHT. This type of hair loss currently affects up to 40 percent of women and up to 70 percent of men. It works best in men who have Norwood Hamilton Classifications between IIa and V and in women with Ludwig (Savin) classifications of II-2, II-1, I-4, or frontal hair loss patterns.
Potential Benefits
People undergoing this type of therapy may grow more hair on the top of their head and along the hairline by the forehead as well as have less hair fall out during the treatment period. The treatment itself is painless, and there are no reported adverse effects. For even more benefits, this therapy can be used in conjunction with other hair loss treatments, such as DHT inhibitors like Propecia or Finasteride or topical treatments like Rogaine.
Potential Considerations
People taking any medications or using any products that make them more sensitive to the sun shouldn’t use Laser Hair Rejuvenation in West Chester PA.
