Lasers in genetic / hereditary hair loss!


( all text is translated from Swedish with Google translation program )



Lasers in genetic / hereditary hair loss!
Laser treatment is thought to slow down hereditary hair loss and to generate an improvement. In order to appreciate any benefit from laser treatment, you must have an existing hair growth, otherwise there is no hair to improve the situation or to try to slow down!

The laser is not a cure but a treatment. As long as you have the right conditions and uses the laser, so it may have an effect.

There is thus no single treatment that continues to this! We must continue to support treatment for as long as you think that the laser has a positive effect. Direct that they stop their treatment process so slowly turns back again. just as the effect wears off at the gym if you quit. It is perfectly natural and nothing strange at all.

You should never start to get laser regrowth on bare surfaces! It is very rare and it is difficult to know if a hair follicle is in a coma or dead. Even if a hair follicle is in coma (and then can go to get back into production), so usually those hairs never become fully developed and achieve normal thickness again.

It can be about individual hairs coming back. Laser to start at the genetic hair loss for that: to a) slow down their hair loss and / or b) get any improvement with thin hair get more nutrition and are becoming thicker again, or c) operate a hair transplant that has been done (slow hair loss around the trnapslanterade area so that not even "own" hair which falls in that way and ultimately make transplant worthless).

Lasers should be supplemented with eg minoxidil (Rogaine or Recrea) and preferably also Finasteride (Propecia) in order to be able to get the best effect and in the best position. In some cases it is enough not only to the laser to get a full effect, then the laser can not eliminate one of the biggest causes of hair loss, namely DHT (dihydrotestosterone). While the laser is increased nutrient inputs to the hair follicle, so DHT can be newly created on a large scale to cause a Catch-22. Then, it is in one's own interest to try to influence the positive balance so that the laser can be useful to the full. So it is recommended that, in principle, always at least supplement their laser treatment with minoxidil! If you have high blood pressure or any heart problems, you should consult a doctor or at least Apoteket's advice before using minoxidil!

Good luck and do not wait until it's too late! Lasers do best advantage of an early pre-emptive, not in bare areas have grown!

Studies & Scientific experiments with laser

Studies & Scientific experiments with laser
There have been trials & studies of various doctors and scientists
around the world. None of the studies have shown no side effects
(Which is quite logical when samam wavelength creates life is used).
All the studies have been positive with various degrees (per cent) reported regrowth!

What is lacking in many people's eyes, however, is far-reaching studies. How long the treatment gives much power? Do you have to consider direct aid after the completion of the basic programs? Many questions like that you would like a reply! Now instead assume the existing clinics abroad which has been around longer than here in Sweden.

They have accumulated experiences of drugs, equipment (strength & nanometers) and support operations. None of these clinics to pay for long, large independent studies. There is one major reason for it. About LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) is approved as a medical form of treatment for hair loss, then no without proper training (doctors) perform treatments longer! Laser hair loss in sales of huge amounts of money around the world and has been great in many countries from 2001 onwards. Below insert a study t.om U.S.'s dermatologists felt so good that they chose to publish it in their own dictionary! This is huge given the fact that dermatologists generally have been laser for hair loss the worst enemy!

Photo Therapy of androgenetic alopecia with low-level narrow band 655-nm red light and 780-nm infrared light
Sang Seok Kim, MD, Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital, Seoul, South Korea, Min Woo Park, MD, Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital, Seoul, South Korea, Chong Ju Lee, MD, PhD, Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital, Seoul, South Korea. Available online 20 January 2007th

Background: The therapeutic application of low energy laser Has Been Used for photobiostimulation and Low Level Laser Therapy Causes an Increase of micro-circulation of tissue and a reduction in inflammation. However, the effect of low-level laser therapy on the stimulation of hair growth hock Note Been investigated.

Object: To examine the effects of 655-nm red light and 780-nm infrared light on patient with androgenetic alopecia (AGA).

Method: Patient-treated Their village Scalp Them Selves, Using a portable light source (655 nm and 780 nm), and irradiation was Performed for 10 minutes once a day. Hairs in precisely Defined circle at the vertex (AGA region) and occipital sites Of The Scalp in 24 AGA male patient were Evaluated Using global photography and phototrichogram. Each circumscribed area of the Scalp, centered with a dot tattoo to ensure Reproducibility, was Photographed just after shaving and Two Days Later, The Same Area Again was Photographed. From the photo-images-the hair density and Anaga / telogen ratio (A / T ratio) were Determined by image analyzer software. Each patient was Evaluated at 0, 4, 9, and 14 weeks of photo therapy. After 14 weeks, the degree of satisfaction of patient and physicians were assessed.

Result: The results Can Be summerized AS FOLLOWS: (1) The mean hair counts of baseline were 137.3/cm2 On The vertices and 153.3/cm2 On The occiput, with the hair density of the occiput-being significantly Higher Than That Of The vertices. (2) The mean hair counts after 14 weeks, at the end of treatment, were 145.1/cm2 On The vertices and 163.3/cm2 On The occiput. Therapy with 655-nm red light and 780-nm infrared light significantly increased the density of Hairs on Both the vertex and occiput (P <.005). (3) The ratio of Anaga / telogen (A / T ratio) of baseline was 79.7 on the vertex, 89.6 on the occiput and A / T ratio at the end of treatment were 84.7 on the vertex and 91.9 on the occiput, respectively. (4) The Number Of Satisfied patient at the end of treatment was 20 (83.3%). No side effects were Reported.

Conclusion: The hair counts was Affected beneficially into the vertex and occipital region of the patient with androgenetic alopecia after 14 weeks of photo-therapy with 655-nm red light and 780-nm infrared light.

Laser, hair transplant or hair replacement ?

Laser, hair transplant or hair replacement ?
You have to be able to separate laser & Transplantation. In short
is really the following:

Laser:
Used to slow and reverse the process so that victims thin hairs can recover and hopefully become thicker again. The laser is not a good option for bare surfaces! The laser can not often give regrowth in those areas. The laser is a treatment. The laser must be maintained and preferably supplemented with appropriate drugs. When the laser is trying Swedish Hair Laser Center will always be one step ahead. Through our cooperation with companies abroad and keeping us updated in the field, so we use always tried drugs and laser machines! For you as a prospective customer so the laser is to ensure that they get the right information, have the right conditions, make sure the right equipment is used and so on. We are not represented anywhere in the country, but there are some other laser operators to turn to as well. The main issues for you with good conditions then becomes: 1) ensure that there is a modern Class 3 machine used (there are specs on the back or CE mark) 2) find out what aid treatments in the future will cost per years, how many are included and at what price?!

Hair transplantation:
Used to fill in bare or thin areas in which the laser can not work due to dead hair follicles. Unfortunately, the transplant does not affect individual's hereditary hair loss in some way, so transplantation is really no "treatment" without a cosmetic solution. It is therefore important to continue to counter genetic hair loss so that one's own hair around the transplanted area remains. Transplanted hair is mostly immune to DHT when hair follicles are taken from the neck where there are an equal number of receptors that may relate to DHT. With regard to hair transplant you can get more information on the NHC's site.
We recommend all our customers to contact New Hair Clinic at the current interest in questions & hair transplant. They are currently in Lund & Stockholm.

Hårersättningar:
Nowadays there is very advanced hårersättningar / wigs actually going to take for your natural hair. The most important thing there is to be aware of the need to 1) learn to Styling his hair properly 2) the thinnest and most faithful compensation is perhaps the most 3-5 months 3) You always have to remove, clean & re-attach hårersättningen was 3-4 weeks, approximately. For someone who can not take part either by laser or a transplant can hårersättning was the last and best solution!


In many cases, a combination of laser & Transplantation preferable!
If one begins with laser treatment to put the brakes on his hair loss and increase blood circulation to the scalp (including bare areas, of course). When you perform a transplant to occur several advantages. Tex as growth hormones which are released
increase the formation of capillaries. They are necessary for the relocated hair follicles are to be fed. It may therefore be a positive increase blood circulation even in the "dead" areas where the transplanted hair follicles will be placed. Several hair follicles survive the transfer and they will also "get" faster, plus the brakes and can improve their hereditary hair loss around the transplanted area. On the sets so you also maintain its investment in the transplant.

Or, you can actually choose to do that I personally have done??!
I like helrakad and do not see my earlier hair loss as a major problem.
It may be that it now has over 20 years and that there were no opportunities for me to slow down my hair loss. So you will experience no "problems" of his hair loss so you should certainly not consider any action at all. Then it is better to relax and let nature take its course. The only thing that is important to remember, is that if you do like myself and not run the laser, do not use minoxidil, etc. ... so the situation will deteriorate in time you go shaved and when / if you have a beautiful day let it all grow out again, it's probably not much left on my head = (

There are also various online forums where you can search for information and exchange experiences. The forum, which I personally think adds most useful current hair loss is Look Good forum. The only thing I miss in there are more "real" laser customers. At present it seems that the only type of laser which is either a) companies like us who do it openly or under the "guise" 2) persons from competing industries / companies that throw dirt. Unfortunately, so is failing to prevent and protect themselves from. People who do not feel that they have no "hair problems" are often absent from that kind of forum / discussion. On this forum there are a lot of good information about different products and experiences from hårersättningar.

Why is laser treatment so expensive?

Why is laser treatment so expensive?

Yes, the question is whether it is really expensive?! It depends of course on what you compare it with and what you get for your money. Many people, especially when women spend 500-1000: - a month on her hair. Then cut products + + staining, etc. included. And when they have problems with hair loss and are thinking of laser treatment as some think that a full program of 26 000: - (total) is expensive. If you choose the interest-free financing for three years as boils at 722: - per month! There is no more than the maintenance of their hair tends to go on ... or what a centrally located parking spot costs per month! Now, it is an opportunity to save their hair, at least postpone the process and alleviate the problems.

In our case, so are products of (at most) 8000: -. Since such treatments are 61 pc in 11 months (less number of treatments usually do not give the bestrålningsdos required). In many cases, customers may also lend itself to a laser helmet (retail price 15 000 :-). Advertising, rent, staff, TV (all of our Center has cable television for customers' comfort and also for you not to sit and read and then lower your head and miss the laser treatment front & bays!) Are elements which must be paid. It is Thus, at most about 295 - per treatment! you compare it with another hairdresser visits (350 -) or visiting a masseur (450 -), so the visits are much more expensive in the long run and at one time than laser for hair loss is. You have to think about paying for a long treatment in 61 visits.

If you care about her hair and now has an opportunity to improve or at least slow down their situation, then it is not 722: - per month worldwide.
Even if there is anyone 100% guarantee for improvement, so is it worth the effort and that itself noted that hair loss is slowed down. You only live once and when the hair is gone well, so it is too late to do anything about it.

Does it only sound on the whole and are properly informed and know what can and should expect, so there should be no doubt. This would probably nearly all people with hair loss problems go on laser treatment. The problem is that some "vendors" giving false information and also market hårersättningar. They may promise a customer "hair" or "hair" back, but when exactly is not that the customer will get it back by a great laser! But of those companies .... and if they also market hårersättningar so it may be such, they believe. It is not fair play, but is still not completely wrong terms. Such has nothing to do with laser treatment. Will someone be praised all the hair back and gets back a lot, so they are nevertheless dissatisfied in the end .. as you can understand! If instead the customer is informed that he probably can not get anybody better regrowth but enough to slow down and possibly improve the situation a bit ... then the customer can see it in a completely different way.

Will the customer on how the situation has gotten worse and worse for years now and last year worsened in rocket speed .... well then, think the customer rather than on what he has to lose if he goes to treatment, rather than to assume what he has to win! If the customer receives a braking and also a noticeable improvement, so he will be overjoyed! All because the client was properly informed and self-realize the limitations that exist and that the "miracle" only one braking & improvement is really for someone who for years always been thinner & thinner on the crown.

Does the selection of Laser Machine matter?

Does the selection of Laser Machine matter?



Unfortunately, it is a huge difference between different machines. Output power and nano-meter determines eg laser penetration ability of the tissue. The first generation of LLLT (Low level laser therapy) low-power lasers are 10-15 times as weak as modern Class 3 machines are today! Then they seemed so at a much lower nanometers. Although it was documented as a "regeneration" in selected areas of 55% of clients. It is a very low percentage, but the machines were not for its ultimate purpose. Since that time, developments have taken place and modern machinery is at least 83%, which also affected / improved by adding various drugs / medicines.

IMPORTANT! Gazette am not blind to individual companies own information on their machine, check the facts on the ground. Right now there are companies who writes for example that they have the most powerful equipment on the market, even though the manufacturer itself indicates that it is a Class I (Class 1) machine??! Which country whatever counts as the lowest class. It is sad with such misleading information, so I recommend all prospective clients that the laser itself to see what kind of equipment used. By law, as such information must be on the machine, either for the CE marking or to own a single plate. If someone deleted it or claim that the machine is "tuned" or something similar, you should give up treatment there, and instead choose someone who is honest and represents their equipment and treatment. Most serious laser operators working of course with modern Class 3 or at least Class 2 machines. The choice which is also affected by the nanometer, which it strives. The best choice is always a Class 3 with a greater than 650 nanometers and 669 nm (according to the studies that are available today). Since it is obviously also important that we are running businesses with laser machines
replacing our equipment at regular intervals. Depending on the quality so, most laser machines to be used between 120-150 customers before it should be replaced when the effect wears off.


There is no one who claims that a new class of machine is a bad or worthless. Rather, it is not as effective as a machine where both the laser penetrates deeper and is stronger. The conditions increases with better equipment and some can not get results with a Class 1 machine. You can not talk away the difference and it's rules & laws governing the classification of the machines. The higher laser class, the higher the demands on security and those who use the machines (and on which they are used).

The old type of laser (Helium-Neon at 632.8 nm) would probably now be classified as a Class 1 laser, the weakest form. The low-power lasers that can be used for genetic hair loss belong to either Class 1, 2 or 3. Other classes are stronger, cutting & machining medical lasers. Many companies still use the old class 1 machines, although their output is not sufficient for the majority of customers. Sure, some get results, but for most people as the irradiation is too weak and does not penetrate deeply enough to have any effect. The newer class 1 machines are now operating at 650nm, but it is still only in the same category as most of the laser chamber. The difference is that where one laserkam not treat equally large area at a time and therefore becomes very inefficient. A modern class 3 machine should be at 655-660 nm, which seems the ultimate nano-meter at the loss of hair lie.

It is for example a big difference in the results with the machines at 650 nm and 655 nm. Although the studies so noticeable difference, but in particular will notice the clinics / centers who work with laser difference. I personally would actually prefer a class 2 machine operating at 655 nm than a Class 3 machine operating at 650 nm! When you look at studies from the laser (in general) so it is "field / range" of results for hereditary hair loss from about 650 nm up to 667 nm.Över and during the nano-meter is so little different photochemical processes, and the light changed.

All machines are usually a diff of their lasers / first row of LEDs. Depending on the quality so it can vary up around 3-5 nm. This means that a machine is located at 650 nm probably have to commute first row of LEDs 645-655 nm! It is thus certain points during the nanometer, which is required for a good result. Is it then a class 1 machine with low power output so ...=( Selects the other hand, a Class 3 machine at 660 nm, for example, that means that ALL the first row of LEDs also with diff including staying in the best "area ... 655 - 665 nm. It is either below or above the recommended range, and the trials & experiments have been performed. So the choice of equipment is extremely important for the client! Many remarked that their machine is best, but it's just to check the facts. Nanometer and laser-class must be marked on the equipment. Some chains locked up to a certain supplier and are therefore forced to use "old" equipment and praise then of course it. Then you will get better supplier terms and purchase price of course. However, we have chosen to do the opposite. We never buy a machine and then claim that it is best, we do the opposite and instead check in advance which ones really seemed best and then buy them! It is a big difference .... ....
