Hair Treatment Procedure

WHAT IS LLLT?

Low Level Laser Therapy uses the red and near infra-red light for wound healing of injuries or lesions and also to reduce inflammation and provide relief for both acute as well as chronic pain. The technique was developed in 1967 and is popularly known as LLLT. This procedure mostly focuses on increasing the speed; quality and tensile strength of tissue repair; fix inflammation and reduce pain (analgesia).

The red and near infrared light (600nm-1000nm) are the most commonly used lights in LLLT. The source of these lights can be laser or high intensity LEDs.

The intensity of the lasers and LED's lights used for therapy is not high like a surgical laser.

There is absolutely no heat felt during treatment. The after effect of laser treatment is very much similar to photosynthesis in plants. The appropriate intensity and time duration of the red and near infrared light helps reduce oxidative stress and also increases ATP. The exposure to LLLT is also known to improve cell metabolism and lessen inflammation.

The LLLT machinery delivery ranges from 10mW - 500mW (0.01 -> 0.01 Watts).

The power density is generally between 0.005W/Cm² -> 5 W/Cm².

The most wide spread application of LLLT is healing and recovery of soft tissue injuries, joint conditions, neuropathic pain, non-healing leg and pressure ulcers.

• LLLT : A safe effective and convenient therapy

Low level laser therapy has various alternative names like red light therapy, low level light therapy, cold laser, soft laser, biostimulation and photobiomodulation.
LLLT works on the principle of using an infra-red laser beams to treat various different health conditions.
The most concerned and common health issue is hair loss.
The biggest advantage of LLLT is that it is a pain free undemanding and uncomplicated therapy with minimal time commitment.
The prime aim of the therapy is to reduce inflammation and to simultaneously enhance the local blood flow and activates hair growth.
The therapy has FDA approval, and is scientifically considered as both safe and highly efficient treatment for hair restoration, but provided done accurately and under perfect guidance.

• Androgenetic Alopecia: The Treatment under consideration

LLLT can act as a remedy for androgenetic alopecia.
Androgenetic alopecia is also most popularly known as male or female-pattern baldness.
Androgenetic alopecia is considered as a genetic condition and is the biggest known cause of hair loss in men as well as women.
Alopecia generally starts affecting 50% of men around the age of 40, and 75% of women at around 65.
Individuals with androgenetic alopecia have a gene which makes them more fragile to the effects of the androgenic hormone—Dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
DHT can accumulate in the innermost roots of the hair follicles, and is the main reason behind the hair follicles to grow smaller and smaller.
Ultimately the follicles are completely blocked and as a result the hair stops growing anymore.

Mechanism of Action:

Hair growth can be mainly divided into three phases:

• Anagen phase: Also known as the growth stage.

• Catagen phase: A changeover phase when the hair follicles start shrinking.

• Telogen phase: A final stage where the hair follicles become completely dormant and shed.

The activation due to LLLT helps the hair follicles to get back into the anagen phase (thus restoring hair growth), in multiple ways.

Primarily LLLT uses a light source that generates a precise wavelength (ranging from 630 to 670 nanometers). This wavelength has a unique quality of being imbibed by the molecules of the hair follicles.

This precise type of light invades the scalp and stimulates the epidermal stem cells which are reason behind the revival of hair follicles.

The therapy helps to enhance the blood flow which in turn leads to increase in the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles.

Eventually, LLLT leads to activation of various metabolic processes which are required for hair growth and simultaneously avoid the build-up of DHT in the follicles.

• Devices used and Treatment Time:

LLLT can be performed at home or in a salon.
Mostly 2-3 sittings per week are ideally suggested.
Each sitting ranges from 8 and 15 minutes, and remarkable and noticeable outcomes are generally seen after 2 to 3 months.
The therapy can be performed using the following material:

• In-salon hoods or overhead panels

• Hand-held devices

• Bonnets or head caps

Associated Risks

Associated risks and side effects:

There is hardly any risk associated with this method

Post Surgery Do's And Don'ts

Cost

Since the recommended cosmetic surgery will differ from person to person, the overall cost of treatment can also vary depending on numerous factors.

Patients should discuss the total cost of surgery with their surgeons.

Cosmetic surgery is generally not covered by any medical insurance. However, once in a while, if there is a medical condition related to the surgery, there can be some form of insurance compensation available.

Mostly medical insurance is provided to surgeries used to repair birth defects, reconstructive surgery after an accident or severe burns etc.
