Laser Hair Therapy What is Laser Hair Therapy™? Laser Hair Therapy™ (LHT) is a "NEW" non-surgical scientific approach to treating hair loss, thinning hair, baldness and problems associated with the scalp. This patented cool laser creates a soft halo of light around the scalp. LHT is a medically tested, effective and proven method using low level laser energy, or "soft cool" laser light to effectively treat and control problem hair loss. The LHT non-surgical treatments utilize a device containing therapeutic soft low light level lasers developed in Europe for the treatment of hair loss and diseases of the scalp. The treatment delivers light energy directly from multiple rotating laser positions designed to increase the blood flow to the scalp. The laser therapy functions on the same scientific principal of that of photo biotherapy; where the laser light stimulates cell metabolism and causes damaged cells to be repaired. This breakthrough technology has recently been featured on national newscasts across the country. Physicians are praising this technology as an effective treatment to combat hair loss. How long has AHI been offering Laser Hair Therapy™? Three years ago, Advanced Hair Institute was the first company to introduce this technology in Minnesota. Laser Hair Therapy™ is now available in the Framingham office. As a result, AHI success stories have been featured in both local and national newscasts. Evolution of Laser Hair Therapy™ This non-invasive technology has been used successfully in Europe for over 10 years and is being hailed today in the United States as a major break-through in combating hair loss. Laser Light Therapy was first tested in Europe over fifteen years ago. It was designed to treat diseases of the scalp and skin. In 1964, Professor Andre Mester began experimenting with the use of low-power laser energy in Budapest, Hungary. He observed that low energy laser exposure has a stimulating effect on the biological system, while high-energy laser exposure had an inhibiting effect. In his experiments with wound treatment on mice, he noticed rapid healing due to microcirculation of blood supply. This healing was also obvious in laser light treatment of diabetic patients suffering with dystrophic sores. He was amazed to find sores that would not otherwise heal were healed, and he also observed accelerated hair growth and thickening of hair in the treated areas. This theory through its evolution has since been refined and is widely becoming one of the most popular non-invasive hair loss treatments. What are the benefits of Laser Hair Therapy™?

Increases blood supply to the scalp by 54% after only one treatment. Stops the progression of hair loss in 85% of the patients. Stimulates regrowth of hair. Repairs and improves hair shaft quality resulting in a 25% increase in volume. Dramatically prolongs the life of hair color and perms. Relieves irritating scalp conditions. When used post-operatively with hair transplantation, the newly transplanted hair follicles can forego their dormancy stage.   Laser Hair Therapy - Patient: Brian Pre-Laser Hair Therapy 6 Months into Laser Hair Therapy   Laser Hair Therapy - Patient: John Pre-Laser Hair Therapy: Crown Area 3 Months into Laser Hair Therapy   Who is the best candidate for Laser Hair Therapy™? Men and women between the ages of 18 and 65, with thinning to moderate hair loss. LHT is the long anticipated answer for the hair transplant specialist challenged by the ineligibility to perform transplant procedures on certain individuals primarily due to the following scenarios: A) Patients with early stages of hair loss. (Thinning areas where the existing hair is still too close together to warrant an incision between the existing hairs.) B) Women that experience general thinning throughout including the sides and back area where a transplant specialist would typically harvest the donor site.   Is Laser Hair Therapy™ Safe™? Yes! The Laser Hair Therapy™ devise, (which is classified as a Certified Class IIIA cosmetic laser) is approved for cosmetic use in the United States. The energy produced by the photons does not have the thermal component to cause thermal injuries to users or operators. Laser light energy does not change or alter molecular structures; it stimulates the body's mechanism to repair and heal itself. Have The Benefits of Laser Hair Therapy™ Been Scientifically Measured? Yes! A double-blind placebo controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effect of laser light therapy by comparing it with a placebo laser. All patients with the exception of one in the laser treated group showed a complete stop of hair loss. All patients, except 3 showed a clear regrowth of hair with a reduction of at least one category in the Norwood Classification. Out of 18 patients, 14 showed an increase in hair thickness and all 18 showed improvement in the general hair shaft quality. The results showed no improvement in the placebo group or any adverse effects of the treatment. The present double-blind study confirmed by histological examination, revealed that regrowth of new hairs can be achieved in the most middle-age and younger males with typical male pattern baldness, when the scalp is irradiated with Laser Light Therapy for 30 minutes twice a week for 5 weeks. The treatments are pain free, completely safe without side effects.   Laser Hair Therapy - Patient: Jeremy Pre-Laser Hair Therapy: Crown Area 3 Months into Laser Hair Therapy   View other Services We Offer : Women's Hair Solutions - Restore Both the Inner and the Outer Beauty Men's Hair Solutions - Regain Your Looks and Self-Confidence Laser Hair Therapy - Non-Surgical Method to Control & Treat Hair Loss Pulsed-Light Hair Removal - A Modern Breakthrough in Hair Removal Epidermex™ Skin Treatments - Some Imperfections Are Only Skin Deep!
