Most people lose roughly 100 hairs from their scalp every day. In a majority of people their hair grows back, while in some people it does not. Pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common form of hair loss in both males and females, accounting for approximately 80-95% of all hair loss cases. Other factors that trigger hair loss and baldness are undiagnosed diseases, certain drug side effects, stress, pollution, and genetic inheritance.
Low-level laser light therapy (LLLT) in Delhi is a new non-surgical hair regrowth treatment and also aids in combating early-stage pattern balding. The treatment is provided by DMC Trichology hair experts and has helped many to reverse baldness and combating hair loss.
Low-Level Laser Light Therapy, commonly known as cold/soft laser therapy or red-light therapy, is a proven safe and effective hair loss treatment. It involves the use of powerful LED lenses of wavelengths ranging from red to infrared as these help promote tissue healing and regeneration.
The basic idea behind low-level laser light treatment for hair is that the photons targeted to the scalp tissue get absorbed by the weak hair follicles. This stimulates oxygen and nutrient-rich blood flow to the scalp and increases metabolism in hair follicles belonging to the catagen or telogen phases of a hair growth cycle. The latent hair follicles get activated or awaken and ultimately start growing longer, stronger, and thicker hair.
On a clean scalp and hair, a specialized LLLT device- a helmet or a handheld device, is carefully positioned over the patient’s head, specifically the areas affected by hair loss.
The cold laser light is applied to the targeted area for about 15-30 minutes. If required, adjustments are made in the device settings and positioning to effectively distribute the light across the scalp.
Here are few things that people must take care:
It is recommended that LLLT should not be performed in conjunction with photosensitive medications or products. Any photosensitizing medication or substance should be stopped at least three days before treatment, after consulting the practitioner.
On the day of this hair loss treatment in Delhi, the patient must come with a thoroughly clean scalp and hair.
To achieve optimal results that last for long and without facing difficulties, the patient is instructed to:
Good candidates for low-level laser light therapy are:
The best way to find out if low-level laser light therapy is a right fit for you is to request an initial consultation with hair doctors in Delhi at DMC Trichology.
Modern-day laser diodes and the electronic components that generate laser light are safer and more convenient. Low-level laser light therapy, commonly known as "cold lasers," is believed to alter tissue function without raising the body temperature of the scalp, resulting in minimal side effects. Since low-level light therapy is a non-invasive treatment carried out by licensed, experienced professionals, serious side effects are usually rare. When side effects do occur, they are usually minimal and only last for a short time. If patients experience headache, itching/burning sensation/redness on the scalp after treatment, prompt attention of a dermatologist is a must.
It takes time for low-level laser light therapy to generate desired, expected results. Every patient’s body reacts differently to treatment, but most patients notice thicker, fuller hair in 2-4 months.
Yes. With low-level laser therapy, one can achieve thicker, fuller, shinier, stronger, and healthier-looking hair. But that’s possible only when the targeted area has active hair follicles.
Under the cold laser machine, one feels nothing- no vibration or heat.
Typically, 2-3 sessions a week for 6 weeks, and thereafter one session per week for 3-5 months is recommended as per the hair condition of the patient. The low-level laser light exposure on the scalp is only for 8-25 minutes in every session.
The low-level laser light therapy cost in Delhi for hair varies from one clinic to another and the provider chosen. The overall cost even depends upon the severity of the hair condition, the location of the clinic, the required number of sessions.
