Laser Therapy for Hair Loss

Hair loss is a common problem, and people are always looking for a way to make it stop. Aging, genetics, medications, and even stress can cause our hair to fall out, and often the hair that grows back in is damaged — or no new hair grows in at all. Laser therapy for hair loss is one of the latest “cures” you may have heard about. Some say it not only stops hair from falling out but encourages the growth of healthy new hair. While laser therapy may work in some cases, though, it may have no effect in others. Here is everything you need to know about laser therapy for hair loss.

What is laser therapy for hair loss?
Laser therapy is a nonsurgical treatment for hair loss. It has been medically tested and is approved by the FDA for safety and effectiveness.

Laser therapy for hair loss is administered by means of a device containing 110 to 160 therapeutic soft-low-light-level lasers. The scientific principle is called photo-bio-stimulation; laser light stimulates cell metabolism to help damaged cells repair themselves. Some laser therapy devices can be used at home; other laser therapies must be administered at a doctor’s office.
