Why Laser Therapy? Which Laser Device? How Do They Work?

There always seems to be a lot of information floating around about men’s hair loss and which treatment, if any, is the best receding hair loss treatment. There have been several natural hair loss remedies circulating around the traps of late that possibly hold some promise including the use of laser hair regrowth technologies, which offer many with thinning hair a possible ray of hope.

Laser hair growth treatment has shown some positive effects in some people, which on average have usually occurred within about four months. Predominantly these people have used home-based laser hair devices, approximately three times per week on alternate days, for around 20 minutes at a time. The lasers have effectively shown promise at being able to nourish and stimulate the hair follicles into producing thicker, fuller, healthier hair.

Which Laser Hair Regrowth Devices Work Best?

The industrial grade lasers are usually 5 milliwatts, 650 nanometers of red laser light. This is the wavelength that has been shown to reach deepest into the tissue and is the best to promote new hair growth.

Some equipment sold in the market and which supposedly supports the regrowth of hair are in actual fact no more than electronic add-ons, or fancy natural-colored lights, and they do absolutely nothing to regrow hair. If a product doesn’t offer a satisfaction money-back guarantee, this should tell you everything you need to know—avoid them like the plague; otherwise, you can expect to have wasted your money.

LED (light emitting diode) devices don’t work either. These are nothing more than natural lighting, which is as expected totally ineffective. They may appear cheap, but that’s because they don’t work. Again, check the results guarantee offer. (If they have one or not, chances are they won’t.)

Laser Hair Regrowth Concern about Lasers

A real concern many people have when they think of laser hair regrowth devices is the classic question: are laser hair regrowth lasers harmful? The short answer is no, they aren’t. There are no known or reported side effects of low level laser therapy (LLLT). In fact, the power level of these lasers is considerably lower than most of the electronic gadgets you probably use around the home every day.

So when you use a laser hair regrowth device, you can expect (beyond the possible advantages of increased hair production) other purported health benefits such as improved blood circulation which helps with wound healing, a better supply of blood around the body, lower incidences of swelling, and better help in relieving pain.
