The Science of Low Level Laser
Therapy
 In
1964, Professor Andre Mester began experimenting with the use of
low-power laser energy in Budapest, Hungary.
In his experiments with wound
treatment on mice, he noticed rapid healing due to microcirculation of
blood supply. This healing was also obvious in Laser Hair Rejuvenation
treatment of diabetic patients suffering with dystrophic sores.
This theory through its
evolution has since been refined and is widely becoming one of the most
popular non-invasive hair loss treatments.
Until very recently, the use
of low level laser treatment has been relatively underutilized in North
America. Today, however, there is increasing awareness and acceptance of
low level laser therapy.
Thicker,
Fuller, Healthier Looking Hair
Not
everyone wants hair transplants or potentially harmful prescription
medications to regrow their lost hair. If you’re looking for
alternatives to surgery or drugs, Hair Restoration Institute of
Minnesota has a treatment program for you. Hair Restoration Institute of
Minnesota has pioneered laser hair loss treatment programs to stop hair loss and regrow lost
hair.
 Low
Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is based on the scientific
principal of photo-biotherapy. Photo-biotherapy occurs when laser light
is absorbed by cells, which causes stimulation of cell metabolism and
improved blood flow.
In
clinical studies, laser light is proven to stimulate cellular
metabolism, protein synthesis, and tissue and cartilage regeneration,
while dramatically increasing blood supply to the targeted area. Low
Level Lasers have been used to treat hair loss throughout Europe for
over a decade as an alternative to hair transplantation and medications.
Their use in the United States has been well documented.
The MEP-90 clinical laser is
FDA approved to treat female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia).
The HairMax laser comb is an FDA Class 2 cleared device for use at home
to treat both hereditary female hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) as
well as common male pattern baldness.

An IRB
pre-approved clinical trial with oversight was

18 wks
Results were reviewed at 10-weeks (20
treatments) and 18-weeks (36 treatments) levels
-
After 20
treatments (10 weeks) 92% of subjects had
increased hair counts of >+10% with 57%
demonstrating an increase of 30%.
