Male Pattern Baldness / Posted by Jessie Gomez / No Comments

In men, the most common type of hair loss is male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia. This is commonly experienced by males with ages ranging from twenty to forty. It is estimated that 2 our of 5 males in their mid-20s suffer from male pattern baldness, but is often unaware of the problem until hair loss has reached an advanced stage. Thus, it is important to understand hair loss and the treatment most appropriate for it in order to prevent the condition from becoming irreversible.

Male pattern baldness is a genetic predisposition caused by the increased sensitivity of the hair follicles to the androgen dihydrotestosterone.

Laser Hair Loss Therapy for Male Pattern Baldness

Male Pattern Baldness | No Comments

Laser therapy for hair loss refers to the use of low level laser (a cold beam laser) which has therapeutic applications on several medical conditions such as mild pains, skin diseases, and neurological conditions. Low level laser does not have the thermal element to create heat. In fact, it passes all international standards as a non-significant risk laser. (Low level laser therapy should not be mistaken as laser removal therapy because the latter uses high level laser.)

Under laser hair loss therapy, when cold beam laser penetrates through the scalp, photobiostimulation occurs. Photobiostimulation is a natural process during phototherapy wherein cells get excited or revitalized. Specifically, it energizes the power plants of the cells, the mitochondria for better cellular performance. This results in hair restoration. LLLT is also said to improve blood circulation in the scalp.
