Research Centers

• Research hair-restoration centers in your area that provide laser light therapy. This non-surgical treatment uses soft low-level light lasers to stimulate the hair follicle, so that it will repair your existing hair and re-grow hair in any viable hair follicles. Make sure that the doctor you choose to do your treatment has the latest and best equipment available. Laser machines that have wavelengths between 670 to 690 are considered the best for stimulating new hair growth. During your treatment, the low-level light laser stimulates blood flow to the hair follicle, reactivating it.
  
  

Have Your Hair Follicles Tested

• Have your hair follicles tested by the hair-treatment center. Personnel at the hair-treatment center will look at your scalp under a microscope and be able to tell if your hair follicles are still viable. The best candidates for laser light therapy are patients in the early stages of losing their hair, for example, just beginning to see thinning hair on the crown of the head or hair line in the past seven years. However, it is possible to regrow hair follicles that have been dormant for approximately up to 20 years. But you will have more success, if you've only had hair loss in the past 7 to 10 years. The treatment center should give you an estimate of how much hair you should expect to re-grow.
  
  

Treatment Plan

• Set up a treatment plan with your doctor. Most treatment plans include going for therapy twice a week for the first three months. For the next six months, you will have your treatment once a week. At each treatment, you will sit under a laser light hood for approximately 30 minutes. The procedure is pain free, with little to no side effects.
  
  

Office Visits

• Continue going to your therapy for approximately 9 to 12 months. You will start to see some hair growing back during the first three months. Statistics indicate that hair loss is reduced in 85 percent of the patients treated and our existing hair will be 25 percent thicker and stronger, according to GenesHair.
  
  

Hand Held Device

• The FDA approved a handheld device that you can use at home for your laser light therapy. This device makes it easier for you to do treatments at home, instead of going into the office.
  
  

The Cost

• The cost of the laser light hair therapy is approximately $90 to $200 per month. Some hair therapy centers give a money-back guarantee if you do not see the results they told you was possible for your hair follicles.
