Laser Hair Therapy has been around for years now and we are still learning new ways in which it can heal different parts of the body. Laser Therapy when treated for hair loss stimulates blood flow in the follicles, thus allowing the hair to grow faster. Before we get into the 6 reasons why laser hair therapy will work for you, let's explore the basics.
What is low level laser therapy?
Low Level Laser Therapy ( LLLT ) is a form of phototherapy or light therapy. This involves the application of low power light to the scalp in order to stimulate healing. It is also known as cold laser, soft laser or low intensity laser.
How does it work?
Photons, which are particles of electromagnetic energy, are emitted from the low power laser. These particles enter the tissues and are absorbed in the mitochondria, which are tiny structures within the substance of each individual cell. The energy is converted to chemical energy within the cell. The permeability of the cell membrane changes which in turn produces various physiological effects. These physiological changes affect a variety of cell types including macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and mast cells.
