Laser Treatment for Hair Loss: LLLT

Hair loss (or alopecia) is a common disorder which affects over half the global population. There are many forms of the condition, however, androgenic alopecia affects around 50% of males over the age of 40 and around 75% of females over the age of 65. Fortunately, nowadays there are many treatment options available and at YourHairDoc we have researched the most effective and safest solutions to hair loss so that we can give you a choice in the route that you take. Whilst we specialise in FUE and FUT hair transplants, laser treatment for hair loss is becoming a popular option.

Laser Treatment for Hair Loss

In some cases of hair loss, a surgical intervention may not be needed and the patient may prefer to take the non-surgical route initially. Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is a laser treatment which can be administered both in-clinic and at home, and can be effective for both male and female hair loss.

LLLT uses infrared light, which has long been known to promote tissue repair and regeneration. The low-level light intensity of LLLT stimulates cellular activity and can promote new, healthier hair growth. This works as the epidermal stem cells in the hair follicle bulge and shift them to an ‘anagen’ (active growing) phase.

Scientifically Proven Efficacy

We are pleased to offer Low Level Light Therapy as a treatment backed by the latest scientific reasarch. LLLT is also totally painless, and benefits from no downtime. It can be administered by one of our specialist team of experts here in the clinic via a clinical-standard device, or you may benefit with an at-home cap, which can be worn in the comfort of your own home. Dr. Somji would be pleased to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of both options with you at a no-obligation hair loss consultation at one of our clinics.

Over a course of months, you could start to experience a more significant increase in hair growth, giving a thicker and more lustrous appearance to your hair. This non-invasive approach could be all that is needed for the very first stages of hair loss to encourage new growth and regenerate areas of thinning.
