Low-Level Laser Therapy

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a medical treatment for hair loss that uses laser light to stimulate new hair growth. LLLT is a non-drug therapy and its effectiveness is based on the activation of the cells responsible for hair growth, so-called stem cells.

Low-level laser therapy, also known as red light therapy and cold laser therapy, involves exposing scalp tissue to photons. These photons are carried and absorbed by weak cells and promote hair growth. This treatment has no side effects and is painless, making it a great alternative to hair transplants.The FDA has approved LLLT as a treatment for hair loss related to alopecia.Laser helmets stimulate new hair growth in men and women with different types of alopecia. As a top cosmetic hair clinic in Chennai, DHEGHAM AESTHETICSprovides highly sophisticated and effective Low-level laser therapy services.

What is the procedure performed?

The device used for low-level laser treatment for hair loss is a helmet consisting of four light-emitting diodes (LEDs) connected to a computer chip. The patient wears this random laser helmet and the doctor adjusts the helmet till LED produces wavelengths that are absorbed by the cell membranes of the hair follicles.

When this happens, the stem cells within the hair follicle divide and multiply, creating new hair fibers. Light is thought to trigger the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which stimulates stem cells. Increased ATP production also increases energy levels and improves blood circulation in the body.

The most commonly used schedules are-

• 655nn Laser comb treatment is administered to the patient for approximately 15 minutes three times a week for 26 weeks.
• 655nn Laser Comb Treatmentrecommends doing it for about 10 minutes every other day.
• It uses a 780nn infrared or 655nn red light laser comb for 10 minutes daily for 14 weeks, or until the patient sees hair regrowth.
• The latest recommended schedule is to use the laser hair helmet for 25 minutes every other day for 16 weeks.
