These sores were usually located on the lower extremities
of diabetes patients where the lack of blood supply
was an issue. Laser light was focused on the areas
to be treated with astonishing results. Not only did
the sores heal, but also the body hair located within
the radius of the laser beam grew thicker and longer
than the surrounding hair. This was proof-positive
to researchers that laser light delivered with the
correct power at the appropriate wavelength had a
positive effect on cell function within the hair follicle.
In clinical studies, laser light is proven to stimulate
cell metabolism, protein synthesis, and tissue and
cartilage regeneration, while dramatically increasing
blood supply to the target area. This same technology
is currently being used to successfully treat carpal
tunnel syndrome, arthritis and sport injuries.
How
it works
It is believed that
laser light penetrates into the scalp tissue where
it stimulates the microcirculation, improves cellular
metabolism, and protein synthesis. Furthermore, European
studies suggest that LLLT increases blood and lymph
circulation at the hair roots, decreases inflammation,
and energizes follicular cells causing hair to grow
thicker and fuller.
Various light sources including lasers have been used
in attempts to stimulate hair growth and stop the
progression of hair loss since the 1950's.
A double blind comparative study of laser treatment
with placebo laser (LED)5 for treatment of Hereditary
Androgenetic Alopecia in young males. Abstract: A
double blind placebo controlled study was carried
out to evaluate the effect of LLLT comparing (inGaAl,
670 nm) and a placebo laser (LED). The duration of
hair loss and baldness, according to the Hamilton
Classification, were recorded. A skin biopsy for histological
examination was taken before and after treatment.
In addition a photograph was taken of the patient
at the same time. Hair shaft thickness was measured
with hair stretched equipment where the hairs can
be stretched on a graded scale from 0-10, normal value
of hair shaft being 0.5.
There results were confirmed by histological examination.
All patients with the exception of one in the laser-treated
group showed a complete cessation of hair loss. All
patients except 3, showed a clear regrowth of hair
with a reduction of as least one category in the Hamiliton
classification. Pre-treatment typically showed the
dermis with large, relatively normal amounts of follicles.
Most of them were in the telogenphase and did not
show any real hair. Some of the follicles were widened
with keratin taps at the follicle opening. Post-treatment
showed the dermis with almost the same amount of hair
follicles as pre-treatment, although a number of new
follicles could be seen with clearly noticeable hair
growth. 50% of the follicles were now in the anagen
phase. A clearly visible regrowth of hair was found
in post-treatment sample comparison. When comparing
the histological findings, transformation into more
anagenic hair follicles could be observed in 83% of
the patients on laser treatment, but in none of the
placebo patients.
Out of 18 patients, 14 showed an increase in hair
thickness, and all 18 patients showed improvement
in general hair shaft quality. When measured with
the hair stretcher, the results showed no improvement
in the placebo group or any adverse effects of the
treatment. The present double-blind study definitely
showed that regrowth of new hair can be achieved in
most middle-aged and younger males, with typical male
pattern baldness, when the scalp is irradiated with
LLLT
Lasers have recently been approved for cosmetic use
in the United States as a Certified Class IIIA cosmetic
laser by the FDA, which has the most rigid standards
in the world. It was declared as the ‘Invention
of the year’ by Times Magazine US and has been
extensively covered by CNN.
Additional on-going scientific and clinical work has
led to the treatment protocol we use at the Harmonix
hair clinic- FOLLICLE PHOTOBIO REJUVINATION(FPR)
FPR incorporates the use of various bio stimulating
cosmeceutical trichoenergisers,trichonutrients ,scalp
soothers and low level laser therapy which act synergistically
and rejuvenate the follicles giving you your original
hair back and improving your scalp and hair quality.
Trichoenergisers which utilizes a patented
lipoceutical delivery system, containing the mixture
of various naturally derived ingredients This formula,
contains high energy compounds that assist in supporting
skin metabolism, homeostatic & cellular balance
of the scalp counteract and inhibit environmental
free-radical damage to hair also supplies vital nutrients.
Scientifically engineered for the life of your hair.these
are massaged on the scalp in a unique
Stimulation Technique That Brings Blood To The
Papilla, the Center of Growth At The Base Of The Follicle,
And Helps Keep The Scalp Flexible and Youthful, Which
Is The Key To Beautiful, Thick Hair
