You must have heard about the use of laser beam for hair removal, but have you ever thought about using laser for hair growth? Laser Hair Restoration Treatment is a method of stimulating hair follicles with the help of laser beams. This reactivates the hair cells and causes hair growth after the treatment. We tell you all about this treatment in today’s post.
Laser Hair Restoration Treatment
This is a non-surgical and non-invasive method to induce hair growth. During the procedure, low level infrared light is applied to the patient’s scalp from a laser emitting device. There is no incision or surgery involved in this procedure. All you need to do is to sit under a light emitting device and enjoy a magazine. You might experience a mild tingling sensation when the device is turned on.
A red colored low level light beam from the device is applied to your scalp. There is no thermal component in the light, it is cold. The light travels through your scalp. It does not cause any damage to the tissues or the cells in the body. Instead, the cells absorb the light and start getting repaired. The laser light also improves the circulation of blood to the scalp. All these factors stimulate the hair follicles and cause hair growth.
However, the treatment does not do anything to dead hair follicles. What it does is to restore the almost failing hair follicles. This promotes the growth of hair.
How long does the procedure last?
The procedure is carried over a couple of sittings, each lasting no more than 30 minutes. All the sessions are painless and can be taken up during your lunch break even, after which you can walk out and resume your day to day activities.
Cost of Laser Hair Restoration
The cost of Laser Hair Restoration treatment varies from clinic to clinic. Each sitting can cost you about $2000 and you might need a minimum of three sittings for full effect of the treatment.
