Low Level Laser: Painless Therapy for Hair Loss
Many people are suffering from hair loss due to different factors. Hair loss can occur after you have recovered from sickness or undergone a major surgery. Another factor is if you are stressed due to some problems or overloaded work. Additionally, if you are having hormonal imbalance like after a few months of giving birth or thyroid gland problems (either overactive or under active), you will notice that you have more hair falling from your head. Hair fall will not be a problem if new hair would immediately start coming out from your scalp in the same location. However, if hair falls from your head without any replacement afterwards then that is when you start losing hair. The normal hair fall would be up to a maximum of one hundred hairs in a day. Usually this happens to men when they are not getting any younger.
There are many ways that can help you have a fuller and healthier hair. And one of the most popular treatments being utilized is the Low Level Laser. This therapy low power laser so it is safe. It supplies energy to our body using non low photons of light. It is critical that the light wavelength is correct so that our body can absorb and convert light into energy. There are actually different types of laser. We have one that uses high power so that it can cut our tissues. While the Low Power Laser passes on a straight line, uses one wavelength and focuses its beam on a specific area. With these characteristics laser using low power can easily penetrate into our skin without feeling the heat. This is called the Low Level Laser.
The Low Level Laser treatment history can be traced back in 1964 when Professor Andre Mester of Budapest, Hungry conducted an experiment. He used low laser rays to heal the wounds of lab mice. He then discovered that the laser rays stimulates better blood circulation that also caused hair located on the wounded area to grow thicker and longer. His observation is also similar to the National Hair Journal’s post about the faster rate of hair growth and thickness during summer season when mostly people are exposed under the sun.
Now the idea of Low Level Laser is being used as treatment for hair loss. The process does not require a surgery but rather an almost infrared light is used to help your hair grow. Laser rays are directly applied on the scalp so that the supply of red blood cell is stimulated. This will in turn provide more nutrients and oxygen in the scalp. Additionally, with the increased red blood cells, blood circulation is improved allowing your hair to grow well.
The low level Laser tool has similar appearance with that of a hood hair dryer or hair steam which usually fitted on your head. All you have to do is put the tool at the top of your head. The low level laser toll will rotate while laser rays are emitted into your scalp. It is usually red in color, will not cause any burn or cut in your tissues or should not put you at risk of having a cancer. But you just have to remember to put some protection over your eyes. Other laser products resemble combs such as the Laser Comb by Hairmax.
