LASER hair rejuvenation

Overview

​

Every day, most people lose about 100 hairs from their scalp. While the majority of people grow those hairs grow back, some people don’t due to:

• age

• heredity

• hormonal changes

• medical conditions, such as lupus and diabetes

• poor nutrition

• side effects of medical treatment, such as chemotherapy

• stress

​

Treatments to stop hair loss and possibly reverse it include:

​​

• hair transplant surgery

​

What does it do?

​

Low-level laser therapy — also referred to as red light therapy and cold laser therapy — irradiates photons into scalp tissues. These photons are absorbed by weak cells to encourage hair growth.

​
