Hair loss is no laughing matter. It could be a symptom of probably something more distressing. Plus, the fact that there is no known cure for this condition could be most disturbing and depressing.

It is not difficult to determine whether a person is balding. The common cause of hair loss in men and women is androgenetic alopecia or pattern baldness, a hereditary type of hair loss. Like many other illnesses, it has symptoms. Though there is no known cure, pattern baldness can be treated the conventional way. For mild cases of pattern hair loss, that is, when the signs of severe hair loss start showing up, hair laser regrowth therapy may prove effective.

Symptoms

Female Pattern Baldness

Hair loss in women is associated with an atypical pattern of hair growth. It can even include growth of hair in the face. Usually when a woman enters menopausal stage, the hair at the top of the head will start thinning in a diffuse pattern. A thinner or finer hair is noticeable because of a lighter shade and crispness associated with it.

Male Pattern Baldness

A man starts losing his hair when the frontal hairline recedes as the hair at the top of the head starts thinning altogether.

Laser Treatment

Since the hair follicles have only miniaturized or shrunk in the early stage of pattern hair loss, hair laser regrowth is the way to restore hair. Laser therapy refers to the use of a certain light source to treat hair loss. Laser hair regrowth therapy usually involves the application of low level laser which has no thermal or sonic component. It has, however, restoring capabilities aimed at damaged hair follicles. Low-level laser has several therapeutic effects on the living cells according to more than 2,500 scientific researches worldwide.

Laser therapy is a type of phototherapy which induces photo-biostimulation. This is a process wherein the cellular energy increases, thereby stimulating the mitochondria, the cell’s power house, for better cellular performance.

Laser therapy is safe and effective for both men and women. It does not put the patient at any significant risk. But as implied earlier, laser therapy is only effective in treating mild to moderate cases of androgenetic alopecia. More so, hair laser regrowth therapy is considered as a temporary, albeit effective solution. Since pattern baldness is chronic, the patient should commit to hair laser regrowth therapy on a regular basis.
