Hair thinning may feel like it’s made an impact all of a sudden, but in reality, it starts gradually. The first signs can include a widening part, a weaker hairline, less density, or a general lack of thickness overall. More than 80% of men will experience significant hair loss during their lifetime, but for some, this thinning happens earlier in life than expected. As a result, non-surgical treatment options, including laser hair therapy, are becoming more and more popular.
If you’re sceptical about how effective this form of hair loss treatment is (or any others, for that matter), that scepticism can serve you well. Too many hair restoration treatments make big claims without the results to back them up. With Transitions Hair’s laser hair therapy, however, you’ll find the real deal, with low-level laser therapy promoting hair growth and providing proven results that stand the test of time.
What is Laser Hair Therapy?
Laser hair therapy uses targeted low-level red light wavelengths to stimulate hair follicles at a cellular level. This is a non-invasive, painless form of therapy that’s safe for long-term use, avoiding the side effects and risks of surgical treatments or medications as an alternative hair restoration approach.
Multiple clinical trials have shown that low-level laser therapy can stimulate noticeable hair regrowth. For example, a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study found significant increases in hair density and hair shaft thickness in people treated with LLLT compared to those using a placebo device.
Laser hair therapy makes use of simple science, with the red light helping to rejuvenate weakened hair follicles. As a result, they’re able to produce more hair and maintain a healthier scalp environment. For men who are looking to preserve and strengthen their existing hair without harsh side effects, laser hair therapy is one of the most trusted non-surgical solutions available.
How Laser Hair Therapy Works
Laser hair therapy is a convenient, easy-to-use process that can be done in the comfort of your own home. With Transitions Hair’s HairMax laser therapy solution, you don’t even need to come into our hair centre for multiple appointments a week.
The therapy itself works by improving thinning hair in three key areas:
-
Enhanced cellular energy - when the laser light hits your hair follicles, it stimulates the mitochondria inside them, boosting ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) production. This is the fuel your cells use to grow stronger and healthier hair, helping follicles to transition from a resting state back into active growth.
-
Improved blood flow and nutrient delivery - since laser therapy helps to widen the tiny blood vessels that exist around the follicle, these blood vessels are better equipped to increase circulation and deliver essential nutrients and oxygen directly to your hair roots. The better your scalp’s blood flow, the better your hair’s growth potential.
-
Reduced inflammation around the follicle - since chronic inflammation is a major contributor to thinning hair, laser therapy’s ability to calm inflammation markers directly contributes to a better environment for stronger regrowth.
How to Know If Laser Hair Therapy is the Right Hair Loss Solution for You
Laser hair therapy has already provided many Australian men with excellent results, but only when it’s matched to the right type and stage of hair loss. It’s most effective when hair follicles are still alive and capable of growth. Laser hair therapy may be the right solution for you if:
- Your hair is thinning, but not completely lost
- You’ve experienced increased shedding over the last 6-12 months
- You’re looking for a treatment that doesn’t involve surgery or medication
- You’re experiencing early-to-moderate male pattern hair loss
- You’re able to commit to a consistent at-home treatment routine
Laser hair therapy may not be the right fit for you if:
- Areas of the scalp are already completely smooth or shiny
- Your hair loss is advanced and didn’t begin recently
- You’re looking for a rapid ‘overnight’ result
- Your hair thinning is the result of scarring or autoimmune conditions
There’s no need to make this decision on your own. Transitions Hair offers personalised assessments with our expert hair restoration team, where one of our specialists can review whether your hair follicles are active enough to positively respond to laser therapy.
Other Forms of Hair Restoration Treatment
If laser therapy isn’t the right fit for you, there are a number of other non-surgical hair loss solutions that can provide hair restoration results.
These include:
-
Non-surgical hair systems - with innovative, modern hair systems delivering natural-looking and secure solutions, you can restore your hair and achieve a seamless blend with both your remaining natural hair and your everyday lifestyle.
-
Scalp treatments - by committing to advanced scalp detoxification, exfoliation and nourishment, you can give your hair follicles a better environment that’s more equipped to support their ongoing stimulation.
-
Combination treatments - for some men, combining laser treatment with scalp programs or non-surgical systems can address hair loss from multiple angles.
Conclusion
Laser hair therapy is one of the most reliable, clinically supported tools that’s available for strengthening thinning hair and restoring hair loss. When it’s started early enough, it can have a significant impact on reducing shredding, increasing density and extending the life of your existing follicles.
