Whether you take proper care of your hair or not, one thing that all women fear is losing their precious locks. Thinning hair is something that 70% of people suffer with at some stage in their lives but very few know about treatment for the problem. We’ve decided to take a look at how low-level laser technology (LLLT) can help prevent hair loss and save your mane. Hair loss is the result of a number of different factors such as stress, exhaustion, malnutrition, some medicines and even hormonal problems, and usually begins in the mid-twenties age bracket and continues occurring until the age of 50. There are certain chemical elements in some cosmetic products that can cause the hair to enter a ‘resting period’ (which means it stops growing) faster than if you left it au natural. This, in turn, causes an increase in hair loss. However the obvious answer, and all too often the most accurate one, to the burning questing ‘why do we lose our hair’ is this: it’s in our genes. It has been clinically proven that most men and women who suffer from genetic hair loss or thinning hair (Male or Female Pattern Baldness) will benefit from Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). Let us introduce to you the iGrow LLLT system. This home use helmet device, uses LED light and cold low-level laser, known as LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) to stimulate and rejuvenate hair follicles before they die. Yes, ladies that are fretting over thinning hair, your prayers have been answered. Initially designed for males that were experiencing hair loss, the iGrow system essentially presses pause on male pattern baldness and works as a rejuvenation system for females. Initial tests have shown the treatment is more effective on women. The red light spectrum focuses at 655 nanometres wavelength and has proven to be the most effective nano length for hair stimulation in recent years. Light from a laser in a specific wavelength has an effect on your body when it is absorbed within the molecules of a targeted tissue. When the laser light is absorbed by target tissue molecules, the energy level of the molecules is increased and the molecules respond by ‘working off’ the excess energy with adaptive changes. These changes may be chemical or physical and they may have biological effects on the target tissue or surrounding tissues. Because the changes in the molecules are brought about by phototherapy, chemical changes are said to be due to ‘photochemistry’ and physical changes to ‘photo physics.’ As a result, the biological effects on tissue are called photobiomodulation. So how effective is LLLT at treating hair loss? Well, the vast majority of physicians and medical experts agree that LLLT can be effective in treating male and female pattern hair loss. The device is to be used for 6-9 months at home for 25 minutes every second day and results show an average of 40% increase in growth. LLLT can also be effective when used in conjunction with other medical therapies. Experts have also observed and noted that the overall health and condition of existing hair may be improved in a LLLT treated area, even if no new hair growth is stimulated. In addition, LLLT has been shown to improve outcomes of hair transplantation by improving patency of grafts and speeding healing time. With a handy connection to hook up your iPhone, Playstation or iPad etc. and has zero side effects, this is definitely worth investing in.
