The average person loses 50 to 100 hairs per day. That amount is normal, not a reason for concern. But when the loss gets more, and the body can’t compensate, then you can get worried about getting bald. The studies about hair diseases, their rareness and cures have shown that today, the most common problem is hair loss. And the reason for hair loss varies by sex. It depends on environmental factors and nutrition for women but men, it’s mostly genetical; so that the cure for any gender is different. 

One of those cures is laser therapy. It has been using as a cure for many diseases such as skin resurfacing, tattoo removing, epilation for a long time due to wavelength, energy, and frequency adjustments. Nowadays, with developing technology, one of the most common uses of laser is hair loss therapy. 

What Is Laser Therapy?

The purpose of laser therapy is to make the barba thicker than before. It helps grow new hair and stops hair loss. The therapy process is easy, painless and comfortable.

First of all, doctors open tiny holes on the patient’s scalp. Then the serum will be applied by massaging. Laser application comes after this, and it happens through a special comb. Cold light that has 670 nm wavelength will be sent to the hairy skin. Laser beams that penetrate under the skin create new hair and growing them stronger by stimulating and strengthening non-activated hair follicles then making blood circulation faster.

Patients won’t be feeling any pain because the therapy does not dissipate heat. Through the therapy, existing hair gets stronger and looks more voluminous than before. The therapy provides 40-50% new hair according to the patient’s hair form. 

The effects can be noticeable after 2-4 months. During the applications, patients can eat, drink or read if they want. Sessions must be done 2-3 times a week, and every session takes approximately 20 minutes.

Who Are Suitable For Laser Therapy?

Anyone who is older than 18, observes hair thinning, hair loss, or any damage can get this therapy after a doctor’s approval. Because laser therapy has no common side effects and it does not require so much time. Patient’s hair length is not important. Also, laser therapy increases the success of hair transplantation due to its technique. 

What Is the Difference Between Hair Transplantation And Laser Therapy?

The people who:

• Go through intense hair loss on top of their head or sides of their forehead, 
• loses their hair in a short time because of genetics or various diseases,
• doesn’t have a possibility to grow new hair,

can prefer hair transplantation. 

But people who don’t want to get hair transplantation or can’t get enough big area on their scalp to transplant hair usually prefer laser therapy instead of it. Furthermore, laser therapy has an effect on pigments; it can decrease the amount of white hair. 

On the other hand, laser therapy doesn’t include any incision, burning or surgical operation, so it’s completely painless.
