What is it?

Laser Light Hair Therapy has been successfully tested and used in Europe and the United States, where some of the most important scientific and medical discoveries of this century have evolved. For six years it has been employed mostly in the field of dermatology to treat hair loss and diseases of the scalp. Clinical studies reveal that the use of "soft" laser light, delivered with the correct power and at the appropriate wave length, has the ability to stop the progression of hair loss in 85% of patients tested and to encourage re-growth in more than 57% of patients tested. Dr. Beheshti is one of the first physicians in Canada to carry this laser.

Laser Light Hair Therapy is a safe, effective treatment for hair loss without the use of drugs or surgery. There are absolutely no side effects or pain. The following are the FDA approved guidelines for Laser Light Hair Therapy:

• Stop excessive hair loss caused by genetic male and female pattern baldness
• Thicken existing hair by 25%
• Increase new hair regrowth in 87% of patients tested and will improve hair quality
• Increase blood circulation to the scalp, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the hair bulb
• Helps reverse the negative effects of chemical product damage
• Most successful and safe hair regrowth method offered in the free world

How does it work?

It is configured very much like a state-of-the-art space age hair dryer under which the client sits for 30 minutes. Non-surgical "soft" laser light stimulates the tissues of the scalp significantly increasing the number of red corpuscles that deliver life-giving oxygen and nutrients to the hair bulb. The energy and wavelength of the laser is such that there are increased nutrients to the hair follicles, but not so much that any damage is done to the hair, or the skin. This low level laser energy sets into motion a chain reaction of cellular events, that result in increased blood flow to the hair follicles, and this not only sweeps away debris from the hair shaft, but also increased the amount of nutrition the hair gets, resulting in healthier, thicker hair.
In clinical studies, laser light is proven to stimulate cell metabolism, protein synthesis, 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 sports injuries.

Low Level Laser Photons irradiate the entire scalp increasing microcirculation of blood supplies to the hair follicles. Pure red ‘Soft laser light stimulates the scalp significantly increasing the number of red corpuscles that deliver life giving oxygen and nutrients to the hair bulb .Hair Follicles, which are dormant but not dead, can often, be rehabilitated.

The result is a restorative reaction that clears the debris from the hair shafts, swells the cortex and closes the cuticles,leading to a healthier scalp which enhances hair that looks and feels softer, thicker, and shinier, and is more easily managed. When laser hair therapy treatments are used with quality conditioners, damaged hair, split ends and even dry hair begin to show improvement. The negative effects of chemical perms are reversed with the laser treatment program, because each strand of hair is nourished and repaired. Laser hair treatment also removes calcification and blockages around the bulb to provide an excellent environment in reducing problems such as excessive oily to dry scalp, dandruff and itchiness.

Laser hair therapy is the long anticipated technology, for the latest refinement in preventative hair care for men and women.

Are there any side effect?

Laser Hair Rejuvenation is safe and effective for both men and women. It is effective for all hair colours and both men and women. To date, there have been no side effects noted.

What is the treatment process?

Laser Light Hair Therpy treatments begin with an aggressive 8-week regimen during which the client has two 30-minute treatments per week, followed by one treatment per week for sixteen weeks. The next phase of the treatment program requires one visit every other week for sixteen weeks, and finally two treatments a month for the remaining six months.

OR

The Laser Light Hair Therapy Program that consists of 30 treatments over a one year period. Each treatment is 30 minutes in length. The treatment schedule is broken down into four phases and decrease in frequency as the year progresses.

Phase One:

1 treatment, twice a week, for 5 weeks.

Phase Two:

1 treatment, once a week, for 3 weeks.

Phase Three:

1 treatment, once every two weeks.

Phase Four:

1 treatment, once a month for 3 months.

Results are permanent. Future treatments to the clinic are not required.

What causes hair loss and what can you do about it?

Alopecia (al-o-pe'sh-ah) is the technical term for any abnormal form of loss of hair.

The natural falling out of the hair should not be confused with alopecia.

When hair has grown to its full length, it comes out by itself and is replaced by a new hair. The natural shedding of hair occurs most frequently in spring and fall. On the other hand, hair lost in alopecia does not come back unless special treatments are given to encourage hair growth.

Certain hairstyles such as ponytail and tight braids may be contributing factors in constant hair loss or baldness.

Alopecia senilis (se-nil'is) is the form of baldness occurring in old age. This loss of hair is permanent.

Alopecia premature (pre-mah-tu'-rah) is the form of baldness beginning any time before middle-age with a slow thinning process. This condition is caused by the first hairs falling out and being replaced by weaker ones.

Alopecia areata (ar-e-a'tah) is the sudden falling out of hair in round patches or baldness in spots, sometimes caused by anemia, scarlet fever, typhoid fever or syphilis. Affected areas are slightly depressed, smooth and very pale, due to a decreased blood supply. Patches may be round or irregular in shape and they may vary in size from one-half inch to 2-3 inches in diameter. In most conditions of alopecia areata, the nervous system has been subjected to some injury. Since the flow of blood is influenced by the nervous system, the affected area is also poorly nourished.

 

Hair loss (Alopecia Androgenetica) is hereditary

Levels of testosterone in the body and sensitivity to its side effects are determined by hereditary factors and are related to male and to some extent also female hair loss. Tightness of scalp is also hereditary.

Tightness of scalp and poor circulation cause hair loss

Tight scalp is the main cause of impaired blood flow, particularly on the top of the head. Microcirculation in the scalp can be almost completely hindered. Contracted blood vessels are prevented from transporting necessary nutrients and trace elements to the hair follicles. Lack of oxygen prevents effective keratinisation. The hair growth cycle is disturbed, in that once hair attains the resting phase it remains there unable to recommence growth. The hair follicle grows into gradual decline and ultimately vanishes, merging with skin tissue. Unless adequate blood flow can be restored, tight sections of the scalp will become bald. Help may be possible through laser treatment, which stimulates the circulation in the scalp, allowing oxygen and necessary nutrients to be transported to the hair follicle. The efficacies of medicinal preparations that prevent hair loss are based on their circulation stimulation properties. Each individual is subject to many factors that can cause hair loss. The effects of each can however vary with age.

Is laser light therapy safe?

YES. The energy produced by photons does not have the thermal component necessary to cause thermal injuries to users or operators. Results achieved depend on the type of treatment required and in accordance with the specified times set out for that treatment.
