RESTORATION OF HAIR WITH LASER

 

HOW CAPILLUS WORKS

Capillus laser therapy is a physician-recommended, FDA-cleared treatment clinically proven to regrow thinning hair and prevent further progression of hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia (pattern balding). In just 6 minutes every day, Capillus laser therapy caps use low-level lasers that are safe and secure for stimulating, activating, and regenerating cells within the hair follicle to create more supple and healthier hair.

LASER THERAPY

Low-level light treatment is a method that has been utilized by people suffering from male and female hair loss in the pattern. Red light from lasers has proven to be efficient in stimulating and energizing hair follicle cells.

LASER THERAPY: AN ESTABLISHED SCIENCE

The year was 1966 when Hungarian medical doctor Endre Mester published his first study that showed an increase in hair growth in rodents treated with laser therapy leading to alopecia the first medically valid reason for using lasers. Recently, LLLT (low-level laser therapy) has been accepted as a method of the treatment of hair loss, as evidence from clinical trials as well as positive patient outcomes have confirmed the procedure.

Although it's been in use for more than 10 years... during the past few years, low-level light therapy has received widespread acceptance from the top doctors who specialize in hair restoration. This includes internationally renowned doctors who are the leaders and are members of highly regarded industry associations such as the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery.

The treatment of low-level light (LLLT) is used since the 1960s for treating different medical conditions like ulcers that are chronic, alopecia and chronic headaches as well as neuropathic pain with no major adverse side consequences. Each of these treatments is dependent on the biochemical effects of photobiomodulation on living organisms. The application of very low levels of near-infrared or visible (NIR) light to reduce swelling, pain and inflammation as well as helping to heal deep tissues, wounds and nerves, as well as preventing damage to tissue has been recognized for over forty years prior to the development of lasers 1..

Many areas of medicine have incorporated the art of phototherapy with low-power lasers to their work:

• Physical Therapists: to treat a vast array of chronic and acute muscular aches and pains
• Dentists for treating inflamed or damaged oral tissue as well as to treat various ulcers.
• dermatologists: treatment of edema and ulcers that are not healing burnings, dermatitis, and edema
• Orthopedists for relieving pain, treating chronic inflammation, as well as auto-immune diseases
• Veterinary Medicine
• sports Medicine as well as Rehabilitation clinics for reducing swelling, hematoma, easing discomfort, increasing mobility, and treating injuries to soft tissue that are acute.

LLLT AND THE MANAGEMENT OF HAIR LOSS

Low-level light therapy was first accepted through the Food and Drug Administration in 2007 to treat mild to moderate loss of male pattern hair with a laser comb created to help re-grow hair. The issue with a laser comb is that it's not practical for the use which results in improper application of the instructions and, as a result, not achieving optimal results in clinical use. The introduction of Capillus' laser cap for therapy revolutionized the usage of

LLLT to treat hair loss with the red laser has led to:

• Improve cell metabolism and improve the vitality of blood vessels on the scalp to create thicker, more supple, and durable hair shafts
• Increase the sebaceous glands' activity for silkier, more beautiful hair
• The production of melanin is increased in hair follicles, which darkens gray hairs.

LLLT FOR HAIR

In recent times hair restoration has become an emerging field where the use of LLLT technology has allowed doctors to enhance the outcomes of patients. In combination with treatments for transplants of hair or prescribed hair loss medicines, Laser hair therapy is able to dramatically enhance the condition of hair follicles giving a more full and more natural-looking hair.
