Low Level Laser Light Therapy- A Hair Restoration Treatment

Lasers were introduced and are in use for several years, but only a few people know about their use for hair restoration in Delhi or other parts of the world. Yes, Low level lasers are used to treat hair loss and instigate new hair growth.

Low Level Laser Light Therapy, also called Red light therapy, soft laser, cold laser, photobiomodulation and biostimulation, has come up as an effective & FDA-approved method to deal with hair loss without any surgical intervention. This advance method of hair restoration is used in case of Androgenetic alopecia as well as in case of diffuse baldness or spot baldness (alopecia areata).

Low level laser light therapy (LLT) is not a one-time process. It must be repeated at specific intervals so as to maintain results. Basically, 3 sessions of half hour must be given in a week. And this continues for 4 to 6 months so as to reverse the effect of hair loss. Once the hair are recovered, a ‘maintenance’ schedule of 1 to 2 sessions per week is also given to sustain the new growth and keep the hair healthier and stronger.

Working of Low Level Laser Light Therapy:

The hair growth cycle comprises of three phases: growth (Anagen phase), Resting (Telogen phase) and Shedding (Catagen phase). Hair loss in the case of androgenetic alopecia relies on a testosterone derivative in the skin, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). LLT is supposed to raise the blood flow in the scalp and encourage metabolism in catagen or telogen follicles, which further result in the production of anagen hair. A Laser light with specific wavelength and a particular amount of power is used in this hair restoration treatment in Delhi or other parts of the world. The light does not cut or burn the skin. This laser light is absorbed by the cells and the process of cell repair begins.

Actually, the photons of light act on cytochrome C oxidase leading to the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is transformed to cyclic AMP in the hair follicle cells, emitting energy and stimulating metabolic processes mandatory for hair growth. Emission of Nitric oxide from cells leads to increased vascularisation to the scalp circulating nutrients and oxygen to the hair roots.

A person suffering with thinning hair or pattern baldness due to hereditary condition can go for a LLLT. Advantages of LLLT for hair loss:

• Low level laser light therapy can be used in both males and females for controlling hair loss

• Results shown just after 12 to 26 weeks of use.

Laser therapy used for hair loss treatment in Delhi or other parts of the world depends on the devices that emit a red light (with a wavelength of 630-670 nm) or infrared radiation which can penetrate the scalp. The desired wavelength would be 630-670nm.
