Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

What is Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)?

The Laser Hair Therapy Program treats hair loss using the latest hair loss treatment technology to strengthen and accelerate the growth of newly formed hair, and prevent the shedding of existing hair, by using Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) LED light in the range of 650-680nm, which can be seen with the naked eye, with a red laser.

What are the benefits of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)?

• Hair grows faster and becomes stronger.
• Stimulates and increases blood flow in the scalp.
• Provides more nutrients to the hair roots.
• Reduces hair loss and makes hair appear thicker.
• Reduces chronic scalp inflammation.
• Speeds up wound healing, beneficial for post-hair transplant patients.
  

Does Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) cause pain?

LLLT does not cause any pain because it uses low-energy lasers that do not cause discomfort or any sensations during treatment. 

Is Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) dangerous?

LLLT is highly safe, certified by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The treatment uses low-frequency waves to stimulate the outer scalp only, without penetrating deep. However, it's recommended not to stare at the laser light for too long to avoid eye strain. If using a laser device, wearing sunglasses is advised. 

What's the principle behind the light that improves hair?

Research has shown that LLLT stimulates hair and scalp through Photo-bio-stimulation, affecting the function of mitochondria and cell metabolism, releasing growth factors and cytokines, which aid in cell growth and improve hair thickness, strength, and reduce hair fall, and scalp inflammation.

When can results be seen with Laser Hair Therapy? 

It is recommended to have treatment three times a week, with each session lasting about 20-25 minutes, for a total of 60 minutes per week. Clear results can usually be observed around 3-6 months after treatment, depending on the severity of the condition. This treatment can be combined with other programs like hair supplements, PRP, or the Triple H Program for better results. 

How many types of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) are there? 

    LLLT is usually categorized based on the type of equipment: portable devices (home-use) and clinical devices. Portable devices include hats, combs, and brushes with LED lights and clear usage instructions. Clinical devices are larger and are used in clinics for more controlled and intensive treatments. 

What are the limitations of LLLT? 

It should not be used as the sole treatment for patients with severe hair loss, such as bald heads or extremely thinning hair with visible scalp. Results may take time, so combining LLLT with other treatments like hair transplantation, stem cell injections, or vitamin supplements is recommended for faster results.
