Hair Comb Lasers

There are many companies and claims popping up in the market and on the internet today all touting the benefits of the laser comb to re-grow hair. Research is showing that low level laser therapy (LLLT) is definitely beneficial to the hair follicles as its laser beams stimulate blood circulation to promote rapid cell growth. This brings nourishment and oxygen back to dormant hair follicles so your hair begins to grow in a normal, healthy way.

The laser hair comb works at the cellular level with your body’s own natural healing processes down to the level of the nerves and DNA. Use of this laser device can also correct the overabundance of a substance called DHT (dihydrotestosterone) triggered both by age, hormones and genetics that can begin to weaken hair on a follicular level, targeting the roots. This causes hair not to grow back after normal shedding.

Using the Laser Comb

Low level laser light (cool light from the red spectrum) emitted from the laser comb is applied to the scalp for twenty to thirty-minute sessions every other day. Each session involves moving the laser brush or comb in a pattern that covers the entire scalp in the twenty to thirty minutes. During this time, the user feels nothing other than the “teeth” of the laser hair comb as it passes through their hair and over their scalp. The true healing power of the laser treatment is in the controlled direction of the laser light to the parts of the body where and when they are needed. The best quality comb I have found contains 17 diode lasers, focused through clear conical shafts that are the “teeth” of the comb.

These supports keep the diodes a uniform distance from the scalp that allows for equal coverage on a curved head. Many manufacturers of less expensive types of laser brush or comb put a combination of lasers and LEDS (light emitting diodes) in their product (or only the LEDS) so that they may look the same, but they do not deliver the same results as a quality comb. The best part is that you can use the laser comb in the privacy of your own home. The best ones are battery operated, light weight hand held devices with no power cords to contend with.

Many people ask if using the laser comb more often would be beneficial. However, the manufacturer’s recommendations follow FDA guidelines and should be adhered to closely. Another common question asks if the laser light penetrates through the thicker parts of the hair too. It does, and the proper movement of the laser device over the scalp ensures that all areas receive treatment. A quality laser comb uses the same safe LLLT as many dermatologists and doctors use in the clinical setting, and does not create heat or damage.

Your Choice of Laser Comb

Make sure you contact a reputable dealer and get the specifics on the number of lasers per comb, any money back guarantees, customer support, and their knowledge of their product. A valuable laser comb company should also be able to provide you with the information and sale of nutritional supplements directly correlated to hair and scalp health, and shampoos and conditioners that are sulfite free and cleanse gently while leaving no residue to clog the pores of your scalp.

A de-chlorinating water filter for your shower also helps with scalp health, and provides the best site possible for the laser comb to target. For a non-surgical, easy, all natural way to look and feel better about your hair and scalp health, investigate and choose a great product for you!

Emerging from the wealth of supplements and topical solutions to help with hair restoration, is a modern tool that is getting some hair restoration practitioners really excited. The new kid on the block is the Laser Comb.

Lasers have been used in specialist clinics for hair restoration for some time now, but the technology has, in the past few years, been made available in the form of portable laser combs that can be safely used at home.

So how exactly does this technology restore your hair growth?

The laser combs provide a low level laser light known as a cool laser which stimulates the scalp and in particular the hair follicle and blood flow to the follicle.

The energy from the laser light is able to penetrate to a specific depth within the scalp. This is determined by the wavelength of the laser light used in the comb. Typically the light can reach a depth of around 5 to 6 mm. In this way the laser is able to provide energy directly to the follicle and it’s blood supply. The improved blood supply to the scalp provides better levels of nutrients to the hair follicle and so the health of the follicle improves. The removal of harmful waste products is also more efficient as a result of the improved blood flow.

Laser combs vary in the number of laser light sources used as well as the intensity of the light. As a result each model has varying instructions for use, but a normal routine might comprise three session per week of about 10 to 15 minutes brushing. You will have to be patient though as results will take some time.

The effectiveness of the laser comb can be dramatically improved by combining it with a topical treatment such as monoxidil and a DHT blocking supplement such as Procerine. Taking this approach can produce noticeable results in around 12 weeks.

To further support the case for using a laser comb, the FDA gave approval to the HairMax Laser Comb as able to promote hair growth.

The cost of a Laser comb may at first seem high, but once paid for you can use it as long as you like. Compared to the ongoing costs of supplement or topical treatments, the laser comb can work out cheaper for a prolonged period of treatment.

The laser comb is certainly an effective treatment to improve the quality and strength of your hair and when used in an overall hair restoration strategy, can provide the results you are looking for.
