The old Greek memorandums and books have it in them. People have been making use of it since time immemorial. Yet it took us many hundreds of years to develop upon it and make use of it now. While some people were apprehensive about the side-effects, it has proved to be one of the best and most substantial treatments of all. We, here, are talking about the famous, laser hair therapy, which is feared by most of us. Laser Hair Therapy In an experiment, the scientists discovered that making use of the low intensity laser fastened the growth of hair amongst the mice, which were shaved prior to it. On the other hand, the mice left untreated without the laser showed slowed hair growth. This substantiated the fact that low intensity laser beams increased the growth rate of hair. However, people were apprehensive about the side-effects that the laser might cause. More experiments were conducted and no side-effects were to be seen except that areas prone to laser experienced a hair growth above normal. In 1980, finally, a proper and approved treatment was formed for treating hair loss in people. There were two types of laser forms used medically in treating the patients: High Power Lasers – These high power lasers were used in order to burn or evaporate a tissue. Usually made use of in hair removing therapies (yes, Many people require these as well!) and other surgical methods, high power lasers are less time consuming and involve no bleeding. Low Power Lasers – Low power lasers are what are used in treating patients suffering from hair fall and baldness. The low power lasers when targeted on the affected area, can help in stimulating the cellular functions causing hair growth. Working of Laser Hair therapy Now many ask how the laser functions in enhancing the hair growth. It was noticed, that when the low intensity laser beam effectively penetrates the scalp. It then functions by stimulating the micro-circulation, while improving the metabolism in the cells and also resulting in increased protein synthesis. Some more research work has also established the fact that the laser beam works by increasing the blood and lymph circulation in the scalp and the hair roots, while stimulating the hair follicle and decreasing any from of inflammation. To go into the depth of its function, the laser beam comprises of a few photons of light, which are of single wavelength. When these photons are targeted to the scalp, the cells in the scalp absorb these photons of light and energy. This encourages certain photochemical reactions in the cells, leading to increased production of cellular energy. These results in further normalizing any disruptions the cellular cycle faced earlier due to any of the external causes, while also helping in relieving pain and enhancing the healing process. All the above mentioned factors lead to healthier hair, owing to the protein synthesis; thicker hair due to the follicle enlargement and stimulation of the metabolic activities and finer looking hair due to the increased blood flow. Beside these, the laser therapy also resulted in reducing the hair fall by up to 85% in one session only! In addition to the above mentioned factor, the blood flow increased by 55% in many patients. Latest Inventions While earlier, the process of laser hair therapy involved the patients to go the hair salon or specialist doctors for every sitting, the scientists have now discovered laser hair combs. These hair combs work on the same phenomenon. However, this one time investment ensures that the patients can make regular use of these laser combs within the proximity of their houses as well. The laser hair comb AHS (advanced hair solutions) also been approved by the FDA as an effective hair treatment therapy for hair fall and alopecia cases.
