Laser Therapy
Low Level Laser Therapy
Low Level Laser Therapy or LLLT, commonly known as cold laser is an adjunct to standard medical treatment for hair loss.
It works on the principle of slowly heating up the hair shaft through a series of small diode emitters. This slow heat travels through the hair shaft and stimulates the hair roots and surrounding stem cells. This mild stimulation may result in reduction in hair loss and making the hair shaft thicker. The results are variable and depend on individual response.
How LLLT Works
The laser light that is used in LLLT creates a particular wavelength, which has a special capacity to be absorbed by the molecules of the hair follicles. The light encourages to shift of hair follicles into the growth stage in numerous ways.
When it penetrates the scalp, it produces the stem cells accountable for the regeneration of the hair follicles, promoting hair regrowth. It also works to boost the production of ATP and the metabolic function of the cells for faster hair growth.
The light acts to boost blood flow in the targeted area of the scalp, therefore improving the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles, pushing the hair to grow with a more generous length and diameter. This helps to produce thicker hair shafts and results in fuller-looking hair overall.
Considering Laser therapy?
If you want to stop and perhaps reverse hair loss, you might consider laser treatment as an option. After Hair Transplant in Delhi at MedLinks, we do not usually recommend the use of LLLT. However, patients may use it without any negative effects after 1 month of the procedure.
