Hair loss is no laughing matter. It could be a symptom of probably something more distressing. Plus, the fact that there is no known cure for this condition could be most disturbing and depressing.

It is not difficult to determine whether a person is balding. The common cause of hair loss in men and women is androgenetic alopecia or pattern baldness, a hereditary type of hair loss. Like many other illnesses, it has symptoms. Though there is no known cure, pattern baldness can be treated the conventional way. For mild cases of pattern hair loss, that is, when the signs of severe hair loss start showing up, hair laser regrowth therapy may prove effective.

Indeed hair causes vanity. Losing it is a destructive thought. Those who suffer from it will go to lengths to prevent the worst from coming. The thing is some of the products for hair loss are neither entirely safe nor effective. Fortunately though there is a certain treatment that is suitable for anyone: hair laser regrowth therapy.

More and more people with alopecia are becoming interested in what hair laser regrowth therapy can do to ease their suffering. In fact, the only reason it remains less known is that it used to come with a high price tag. But what exactly is hair laser therapy?

Laser therapy uses low-level laser, a cold beam laser which is known for its therapeutic magic on living cells. As a treatment for hair loss, it nourishes deep down the scalp to increase blood circulation. It also excites the mitochondria, the power house of the cell, to provoke hair regrowth.

LLLT (low-level laser therapy) used to be only performed in hair clinics and salons. Today, a more state-of-the-art device has evolved from the same mechanism – they are hair laser regrowth combs.

A laser comb is a do-it-yourself handheld battery-operated device that uses LLLT. It is already a decade-old development in the hair-related industry. Aside from the fact that they provide the convenience of home-use, they are also cost-effective in that patients no longer have to do office-based LLLT.

When it comes to hair regrowth, laser therapies don’t come to mind first. In fact, it can be taken for a hair removal process – not the other way around. This is a serious misconception. It is true that lasers are popularly used in the medical field mostly during surgeries. However, this refers to a non-therapeutic type of laser – the one which is not used in hair laser regrowth.

There are two types of lasers: high level laser and low level laser. For hair regrowth, a low level laser is used. Low level laser is a coherent low power light which doesn’t produce heat, sound, or vibration. Therefore, low level laser cannot remove the hair nor cut through or burn skin as opposed to high level lasers. What it does is exactly otherwise.
