How Does Laser Light Therapy Work?
To understand how this therapy works, it is helpful to understand a little about how hair grows.
Hair growth cycles have three phases:
- The growth, or anagen phase
- The resting, or telogen phase
- The shedding, or catagen phase
When low-level laser therapy is introduced, it increases blood flow to the scalp, which is intended to encourage metabolism in follicles in the resting and shedding phases. This helps stimulate the growth phase.
This form of hair restoration therapy addresses some of the most common causes of genetic hair loss and can be used by both men and women. The treatments are painless, leave no scars, and require less time and money.
