Have Laser Light Hair Therapy Benefits Been Scientifically Measured?
YES! A European, 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 cessation of hair loss.
All patients, except three, showed a clear re-growth of hair with a reduction of at least one category in the Hamilton Classification Scale.
Out of eighteen patients, fourteen showed an increase in hair thickness and all eighteen showed improvement in the general hair shaft quality. The results showed no improvement in the placebo group or any adverse effect of the treatment.
The present double-blind study confirmed by histological examination, revealed that regrowth of new hairs can be achieved in most middle-age and younger males with typical male pattern baldness, when the scalp is irradiated with Laser Light Hair Therapy for 15-20 minutes, twice a week for six weeks with follow-up maintenance visits.
