1. What Causes Hair Loss?
 
Hair loss in men and women results from hormonal, chemical and systemic changes in the body.  For example, Pattern Baldness (Male and Female) results from a by-product of testosterone known as Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is produced in high quantities by the enzyme 5-alphareductase in the scalp. The binding of DHT to the genetically predisposed hair follicle results in gradual miniaturization and eventual deterioration of the hair follicle. This is reported to be the cause of 85% of hair loss.
 
2. What is LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Treatment Starter Kit?
 
The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit includes the 1 x LEIMO Personal Hair Laser, 1 x Bio Cleansing Shampoo, 1 x Thickening Conditioner, 1 x Scalp Therapy and 1 x Scalp Serum.
 
3. How does LEIMO Hair Laser Treatment Starter Kit prevent Hair Loss?
 
The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit works by BLOCKING the Cause (DHT in the Scalp) and REVERSING the effect (Miniaturization of the Follicle). The LEIMO Bio Shampoo and Conditioner cleanses and conditions the hair folicle and hair shaft. The LEIMO Scalp Therapy and Serum vasodilates the blood vessels of the follicle and inhibits the formation of DHT in the follicle. The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser provides Photo Therapy to stimulate the hair follicle and promote Hair regrowth.
 
4. What is the Money Back Guarantee and How Does it work with the LEIMO hair Laser Treatment Starter Kit?
 
The LEIMO Hair Laser treatment Starter Kit includes a Twelve (12) Month Money Back Guarantee (MBG). This MBG is offered directly to the Customer from LEIMO Australia and not from the retailer or stockist. The MBG provides a satisfaction guarantee – if you are not completely 100% satisfied with your results after using the LEIMO system for 12 months, LEIMO Australia will refund the Laser portion of the Starter Kit’s cost less the price of the LEIMO hair care products included in kit.
 
5. How does the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser work?
 
The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser uses Low Level Laser Therapy to create a process known as Photo-Biostimulation. Photo-Biostimulation provides stimulus to the Hair follicle by increasing the cells available energy which results in Hair Regrowth and Healthier Hair Follicles.
 
6. Don't lasers remove hair?
 
There are two “types” of Lasers – COLD Beam and HOT Beam Laser. Hot Beam is used for destructive purposes – such as Hair Removal , whereas COLD Beam is used for Therapeutic purposes which stimulates cells, rather than destroying them. LEIMO uses COLD Beam Laser technology. Our laser falls within the international guidelines and specification for a COLD BEAM Low Level Laser Therapy device.
 
7. What kind of results should I expect using the LEIMO system?
 
Within 2 – 3 Months you will start to notice a difference in how your hair looks and feels. Your revitalized hair will make your Hair look fuller and denser. With continued use, your hair quality will continue to improve and stay healthy. The important thing is not to “look” for hair regrowth on a daily basis, all this does is add concern to your condition. One way to check your progress is to take photographs of your hair on a monthly basis. Either yourself or a friend or partner can do this for you. Rest assured this will show progress and remember Hair does not grow faster under treatment – you will not see appreciable differences from day to day.
 
8. Why is it important to use the LEIMO Scalp Therapy and Scalp Serum?
The LEIMO Scalp Therapy and Serum are the major components of the treatment to block the main cause of hair loss by inhibiting DHT on the scalp.
 
9. Do I need to use the LEIMO Shampoo and Conditioner every day?
 
The LEIMO Bio Shampoo and Conditioner have been specifically formulated as Every-Day use Shampoo and Conditioners. We encourage a clean scalp to be maintained as this helps to remove the harmful effects of DHT from the scalp and enhances the effectiveness of the LEIMO Personal Hair laser by reducing material build up on the Laser window. Please note, it is very important to use the LEIMO Conditioner along with the LEIMO Shampoo as part of your daily routine.
 
10. What is the difference between the active foaming agent in the LEIMO Bio – Cleansing Shampoo and what others use
 
The LEIMO Bio Cleansing Shampoo uses a naturally derived foaming agent (Sodium Laureth Sulfate –SLES) which has little or no irritations and allergies. Other manufacturers use Sodium Lauryl Sulfate SLS which is a synthetic foaming agent and can often cause skin irritations and allergies. The foaming agent used in the LEIMO Bio Shampoo is sourced from Coconut and Palm Tree extracts.
 
11. What is the LEIMO Scalp Serum?
 
It is a topical formula made of natural active ingredients that have been scientifically proven to be the most potent anti-DHT compounds known today. It works by decreasing the levels of DHT in the scalp. This allows the hair follicles to rejuvenate and produce thicker and stronger hair, creating a fuller and healthier head of hair.
 
12. What is the LEIMO Scalp Therapy?
 
The LEIMO Scalp Therapy is used in conjunction with the LEIMO Treatment system and provides an all natural alternative to Minoxidil – (Rogain or HairAgain). The Non Medicated Scalp Therapy provides a natural form of Vasodilatation which is a process by which blood vessels in the Hair Follicle become wider following the relaxation of the smooth muscle in the vessel wall. This will increase blood flow to the hair follicle which helps to assist hair follicle health.
 
13. Is the LEIMO Personal Hair laser listed as a medical device?
 
Yes – the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser is included with the Australian Register of Theraputic Goods as a Class IIa medical device with the intended purpose of hair folicle stimulation and hair regrowth.
 
14. Does LEIMO Hair care range have any side effects?
 
LEIMO's active ingredients are made of all natural compounds and have a long history of use both orally and topically. Please always the product as directed.
 
15. Does LEIMO work as well for Women as it does for Men?
 
Yes, and we have many satisfied women customers. In most cases, the cause of hair loss in women is the same as in men. Many women develop thinning hair and hair loss due to the same reasons as men who suffer from Pattern Baldness.
 
16. Can I use other hair care products or colour my hair while using LEIMO Hair Laser Treatment Starter Kit?
 
Yes. You can use any other hair care products as you want , including hair colours and styling gels.
 
17. I recently had hair transplants. Can I use LEIMO?
Yes. Although the transplanted hair is theoretically resistant to the destructive effects of DHT, the hair follicles surrounding the transplanted area may still be genetically susceptible to DHT. If these hair follicles are not protected they will eventually be lost, resulting in additional transplants.
 
18. How long will I have to use the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser for?
 
Laser Therapy should be maintained every day (10 min per day – 60 – 70 min per week) for the first year – this will ensure the maximum Laser Therapy results be delivered to your Hair Follicles. After this period, Laser therapy then can be used in a preventative maintenance mode – i.e. 2 – 3 times a week. ( like flossing teeth)
 
19. Can I use the Laser more than 10 min per Day?

No – only in circumstances where you have missed one or two days in the week period. Remember the maximum recommended stimulation per week is 70 minutes. Therefore if you missed 1 – 2 days worth of treatment – you can “catch up” by using the Laser 20 – 30 min in once session.

20. Do I have to leave the Laser turned on all the time?

The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser uses a cordless battery charging system that requires trickle charge technology to maintain the battery. If the battery in the Laser is depleted consistently, long term battery life damage will occur. When not in use, the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser should be kept in the cradle with power supplied to the Laser unit.

21. How long will I have to use the LEIMO Wet Products (LEIMO Shampoo, Conditioner , Scalp Therapy & Scalp Serum) for?
 
DHT will start to reform as soon as you stop using the LEIMO products, so using them should be a daily activity like brushing your teeth.
 
22. What happens if I stop using my laser/wet products?
 
Without proper Photo-Biostimulation and DHT blocking, your hair will eventually return to its normal state of entropy – Hair Loss will occur if you do not make efforts to prevent its return. You must continue to maintain your hair treatment through the use of the LEIMO products.
 
23. Do I need to use all the of the LEIMO Hair Laser treatment Starter kit products?
 
All the components of the Personal Hair Laser  Starter Kit are recommended for an holistic approach to Hair Restoration and Regrowth. Of course, each product individually will produce results, however when all the products are used together – the best results are obtained. Your Hair is important – so give it the best chance!
 
24. Can I use Laser Therapy if I’m Pregnant or have a pre-existing Medical Condition.
 
If you are pregnant or have a pre-existing condition and are unsure of how the treatment might effect you – please consult your Doctor or personal Health professional before using the LEIMO Hair Laser Treatment Starter Kit. Only Use the LEIMO Hair Laser Treatment Starter Kit as directed.
 
25. I experience a burning / itching / redness on my Scalp Using the LEIMO Scalp Therapy – is this normal?
 
All the ingredients in the LEIMO Scalp Therapy are made from natural sources. The active ingredient in the Scalp Therapy is designed to act as a vasodilator to the hair follicle capillaries. If the Scalp Therapy is applied to a warm scalp – this effect is exacerbated in some cases and the feeling is of a “stinging” / “burning” / itching” nature - similar to using “Dencorub” or “Deep Heat” (sport gels or creams). The feeling passes relatively quickly and will leave no lasting effects. You must remember to use the LEIMO Scalp Therapy on a “Cool Dry Scalp” – this will minimise the effect, if you are inclined to be effected in this manner. If the conditions persists for more than 30 min – please call the LEIMO Customer Service Centre or consult your Doctor or Health Care Professional.
