Who may benefit from the
treatment program?
 Anyone
experiencing hair loss. After a thorough evaluation and diagnosis a
Doctor or certified Laserologist™ determines if or not the program is
suitable for your type of hair loss and baldness.
Baldness is
graded on the International established Hamilton / Norwood scale and
although research has demonstrated that the Laser Hair Care®- Laser Hair
Therapy™ program can reduce baldness with at least 1- 2 grades on this
scale for any type of baldness, several other factors are considered
before you may enter the treatment program.
What causes hair loss and
baldness?
The primary
factors are Genetic and Hormonal but also Medications, Post-partum
changes, Stress, Menopausal changes and Diet may influence hair growth
and hair loss.
Is the device
and treatment safe?
Yes. Laser
Hair Care® - Laser Hair Therapy™ meets all international safety
standards and legislative specifications of a “non-significant risk”
product. There have been no side effects of the treatment reported and
to give you an idea to what extent our treatment method has been used,
an average example is from treatment centers in Finland where specialist
have been offering the laser hair treatments for 11 years and during
that period performed over 20.000 laser procedures, each without any
side effects.
When should I start
having laser treatment?
The earlier
you start the laser treatment the better, the later you try to do
something about your hair loss the less chance there is of reversing the
problem.
How long is each
treatment?
Fifteen
minute treatments spread over a 6-12 month treatment program. There is
an initial intensive treatment period. Thereafter, depending on your
condition, treatment is usually once a month.
 How
soon will I see results?
Reduction of
hair loss usually occurs after 5-6 treatments. Some patients also
experienced hair growth after 10-12 treatments. Over time, all users -
men and women - usually notice progressively increasing benefits of the
treatment program.
What results may I
expect?
Individual
results may vary but thicker hair with reduction or complete stop of
hair loss, improved hair appearance and texture is the first sign of the
treatment effect. Many patients experience hair growth in previously
thin and bald areas.
Can
I use laser with other treatments?
Yes. Although
your laser therapy can replace other treatments your Doctor,
Trichologist or Laserologist™ may most likely advice you to continue using other
treatments you’ve already started. The laser treatment may work as a
compliment to their effectiveness. Baldness and hair loss derives from a
number of biological factors and we encourage a multi-treatment
approach.
Can
I afford this program?
The cost of
the programs vary upon individual treatments and conditions but in
general, are easily affordable. Your treatment program fee will be
determined by your therapist based on your evaluation / diagnosis. Your
therapist will advise you on the various Healthcare Financial Service’s
we offer with a flexible payment program. With our Financial Service,
you can: Start treatment immediately, enjoy low monthly payments,
finance up to 100% of the treatment cost and choose between several
payment options.
Does LLLT cause a heating of the tissue?
Due to
increased blood circulation there is usually an increase of 0.5-1
Celsius, 32.9 – 33.8 Fahrenheit, locally. This is a natural reaction to
the treatment.
Does it have to be a laser?
Monochromatic
non-coherent light, such as light from LED's can be useful for
superficial tissues such as wounds. However, in comparative studies,
lasers have shown to be more effective than monochromatic non- coherent
light sources. Non-coherent light will not be effective in deeper areas.
How
deep into the tissue can a laser penetrate?
The depth of
penetration of laser light depends on the light's wavelength, on whether
the laser is super-pulsed, and on the power output, but also on the
technical design of the apparatus and the treatment technique used.
There is no exact limit with respect to the penetration of the light.
The light gets weaker and weaker the further from the surface it
penetrates. There is, however, a limit at which the light intensity is
so low that no biological effect of the light can be registered. This
limit, where the effect ceases, is called the greatest active depth. In
addition to the factors mentioned above, this depth is also contingent
on tissue type, pigmentation, and dirt on the skin. Laser Hair Care® -
Laser Hair Therapy™ typically penetrates a few millimeters into the
tissue targeting the area of the hair-follicles.
