Laser hair growth device now FDA approval
It may seem strange to hear of a laser used for hair growth, but this treatment has been some time and was accidentally by a scientist at the effect of laser radiation on mice to test detected. It was invented in 1967 shortly after the first laser work that Dr Endre Mester at Semmelweis University in Hungary our research to see if laser radiation cased cancer in mice led. No tumor was found, but what is very surprising that the regrowthfaster on a shaved test area of rats and mice in an untreated group. This effect called low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also called biostimulation laser teeth bleaching, cold laser therapy is known, now used for the treatment of hair growth.
It can be performed due to the high cost of recent laser technology, very little has been explored during the two decades after the first experiments. In 1980, LLLT was getting more expensive asTreatment by a series of exclusive hair clinics. The lasers used were complicated large-scale stationary apparatus which subjects had to sit under a hood, like a salon hair dryer. The treatments were performed as often as 2-3 times a week, this was often inconvenient for people who can travel many miles to walk to the nearest clinic or salon. But the results were very good and soon began to many salons in Europe, Asia and the newest addition to the U.S.Treatments.
This hair growth laser treatment is an effective treatment for hair loss by numerous scientific studies. In 1982 Trelles, M., and Mayayo, E, has published "The growth of hair under the influence of the He-Ne laser beam. In this study, patients with alopecia areata responded with positive results after only 6-8 times per week treatment . Later studies in 1990 and tested at different laser wavelengths laser pulse to find the laser actuallyConfiguration for the treatment of hair loss. Most therapeutic lasers now operate at a wavelength of 600-1000 nm, the wavelength, the degree to which light penetrates the scalp is connected. The best wavelength to use, but argued that there should be sufficient to penetrate at least a depth of 5-6mm to its roots reach the goal. Many of the current device LLLT with visible red light with a wavelength of 660 nm, which can penetrate to a depth of about 8-10mm. Laser wavelength of 800-900nmbe used, at a depth of penetration of about 30-40mm, but these are mainly used to treat muscle problems common e.
More recent studies LLLT laser hair began to identify the reasons and ways to help stimulate hair growth laser and light therapy to recognize. These studies have shown that laser light levels of the chemical adenosine triphosphate (ATP) increases, also known to stimulate the cells of the hair follicle is alive. LLLT has alsoEffect of increasing blood flow to the hair root, which delivers nutrients to cells, from which the hair follicle. The increase in blood flow is thought to wash away harmful residues that growth can affect the hair cycle. This helps to improve scalp, thinning hair, new hair growth.
In recent years, laser technology to a stage where a laser can be made to a smaller size than the advancedYour little fingernail and very low cost. In 2000, one company has developed and patented the device first miniature LLLT laser hair growth with laser technology. This allows for the first time that an effective treatment for hair loss that LLLT were cheap and small enough at home, without being used to go to a clinic for its duration. The new device comes in the form of a comb / brush, which will only be used for 10-15 minutes three times a week. The producers claim thatmaking the user experience may vary, 45% of users positive results after 8 weeks of treatment with a further 45% see benefits from ten to sixteen weeks to see.
In February 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved laser comb device for use in the treatment of hair growth. The laser comb is one of only three regrowth treatments reimbursed by the FDA for use in the hair, others are finasteride and minoxidil. The laser hair now hasnew hope for many men and women suffer from premature baldness.
