My Hair MD is an approved seller of The Original LaserCap<\/a>. The Original LaserCap is the original technology of its kind and has perfected the delivery of prescription-strength laser therapy for hair regrowth. <\/p>\n

The LaserCap is only available by prescription from an authorized seller.  It\u2019s FDA-cleared laser therapy technology, which is safe, natural and drug-free.<\/p>\n

The LaserCap delivers a higher dose of light energy per treatment than all of the other popluar laser therapy devices for hair restoration.  Many of the competing devices actually delivery an energy dose well below what experts consider to be optimal.<\/p>\n

What is Low-Level-Laser Therapy (LLLT)?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

LLLT is a non-surgical treatment that is either used as a stand-alone treatment for patients suffering from androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) or as a complementary treatment in conjunction with a hair transplant surgery (post-operative).<\/p>\n

This technology stimulates hair growth through the use of infrared light. It is compressed light of a wavelength from the cold, red part of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. This is different from natural light in that it is one precise color.  It is monochromatic (a single wavelength), columnated (concentrates its beam in a defined location or spot), and is coherent (it travels in a straight line). The level of light used for this treatment is also described as \u201csoft\u201d laser therapy because it does not use heat. This is essentially the opposite of many other laser treatments such as laser hair removal, which damages the hair follicle to \u201cremove\u201d it.  LLLT can actually repair and stimulate the hair follicle structures.<\/p>\n

How Does LLLT Work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Also known as Low-Level-Light Therapy, Photobiomodulation Therapy, or simply Laser Hair Therapy. LLLT is used to re-energize inactive hair follicles.  The red laser light (the particles called photons) is absorbed by specialized deep cells (or weakened cells) within the hair follicle, which stimulates their metabolism and provides energy to enhance cellular respiration and hair growth. As a result of this, follicles then become awakened from their inactive state and can produce healthier and thicker hair. Or, rather, instead of the follicle weakening with every cycle until it dies, it reinvigorates the cells so they can recover their health and functioning.<\/p>\n

There are 3 phases of hair growth:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Growth (anagen)<\/li>\n
  2. Resting (telogen)<\/li>\n
  3. Shedding (catagen)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    LLLT helps to boost circulation in the scalp, which supports the metabolism and stimulates the growth phase. This helps to restore the hair follicles, which promotes hair growth by releasing energy, oxygen, and nutrients.  This is why we recommend that each of our hair transplant surgery patients utilize LLLT post-operatively.  It essentially speeds up the healing process and helps ensure the hair has a better chance of surviving and thriving.<\/p>\n

    Research suggests that LLLT works in a couple of different ways:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Circulation \u2013 Increases blood and lymph circulation through vasodilatation. Several microscopic studies have shown that the laser increases circulation and oxygenation of the blood to the scalp and hair follicle\/bulb. The laser also removes blockages and calcification around the hair bulb, as well as increasing cell replacement or regenerative activity. LLLT has been shown to reduce problems such as dandruff, itchiness, and excessively oily or dry scalp. LLLT can also help to improve fullness, body, shine and elasticity of hair.<\/li>\n
    2. Energization \u2013 This is the process of transforming laser energy into cellular energy. LLLT increases the energy available to cells so that they take in nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. Many physicians and scientists have been using LLLT for decades to speed up wound healing and produce new tissue.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      LLLT Treatment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      We generally recommend that patients use the LaserCap for 30-minutes every other day, or approximately 3-days per week.<\/p>\n
