Slow down hair loss and promote regrowth using light energy
Low-level laser light therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive treatment for androgenic hair loss in men and women. This therapy involves using red light wavelengths, typically around 650nm, to stimulate hair follicles, slowing down or stopping hair loss and promoting the regrowth of thicker, healthier hair. Administered at home using Foundation Light Therapy devices, this provides a convenient solution for patients seeking to improve their hair density.
LLLT works by increasing blood flow to the scalp and stimulating the mitochondria within hair follicle cells. The enhanced blood circulation ensures that hair follicles receive more oxygen and nutrients, which are crucial for hair growth. The stimulation of mitochondria, the energy centers of cells, boosts cellular activity, leading to stronger, thicker hair strands. This dual mechanism helps stabilize hair loss and can even reverse the miniaturization process of hair follicles, transforming fine, vellus hairs into robust, terminal hairs.
Laser light therapy helps with:
- Androgenic (male and female pattern) hair loss
- Thinning hair
- Active hair shedding
- Reduced hair density
- Miniaturized (vellus) hairs
- Post-transplant healing and recovery
- Scalp inflammation
- Poor blood circulation to hair follicles
- Early-stage hair loss
- Weak and brittle hair strands
Benefits of laser light therapy:
- Non-invasive and painless treatment
- Safe with no reported side effects
- Can be used at home or in a clinical setting
- Promotes increased blood circulation to the scalp
- Stimulates hair follicle cellular activity
- Helps stabilize and reverse hair loss
- Enhances the thickness and strength of hair strands
- Can be combined with other hair loss treatments like minoxidil
- Suitable for both men and women
- Easy to use with minimal effort required
- Provides long-term benefits with regular use
How does laser light therapy work?
Overview
Laser light therapy is a straightforward and effective treatment to combat hair loss. Whether you choose to undergo this therapy at home or in our office, the process is simple and pain-free. Here’s a detailed description of what you can expect during laser light therapy.
At-home laser light therapy
You will receive a device like the Foundation Light Therapy cap or the Foundation Light Therapy Optima, which are equipped with low-level laser diodes. Place the cap on your head and secure it with the appropriate connector band for a snug fit. For the first six months, you must wear the device for 10 minutes three times a week or 5 minutes daily. You can even wear the cap under a sports hat if you prefer. After six months, you may reduce the frequency to twice or once a week, as recommended by your doctor.
In-office laser light therapy
Choosing in-office Miami laser light therapy means you’ll receive treatment from our skilled nurse practitioner. When you arrive at our office, you’ll be comfortably seated, and the in-office laser unit will be positioned over your scalp. This device functions similarly to the at-home version but is operated by our trained staff to ensure optimal placement. Each session lasts 10 minutes and is scheduled two to three times a week. This method is especially beneficial for post-transplant patients, as it accelerates healing and enhances hair growth.
Recovery time after laser light therapy
Recovery time after laser light therapy is virtually non-existent. Since the treatment is non-invasive and painless, you can resume your regular activities immediately after each session. There are no restrictions on washing your hair or engaging in physical activities. You may notice improved hair growth and reduced shedding within a few months. Consistent use, as directed by your doctor, will yield the best results. The process is effortless, allowing you to integrate the therapy seamlessly into your daily routine without any downtime.
Laser light therapy FAQs
Can I use laser light therapy with other hair loss treatments?
Absolutely. Laser therapy can be used as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with FDA-approved medications like Propecia and minoxidil. Using minoxidil before the laser therapy session can enhance its absorption and effectiveness.
What is included with a Foundation Light Therapy device?
The FLT laser cap includes a rechargeable battery pack, an A/C power adapter for charging, a patented laser therapy device containing 300 laser diodes, and a sturdy airport-compliant carrying case. International power adapters are also available.
Does laser light therapy work for everyone?
While laser light therapy is effective for 60-70% of patients, results can vary. It is most effective when used consistently and in combination with other treatments like minoxidil.
