A Closer Look at Laser Caps
Doesn’t it seem like just yesterday that you were a kid? When you were a kid, it probably seemed like you’d never grow up. It felt like ages before you could drive a car, get married, or grow up.
As you've grown older, one of the changes you may have experienced is hair loss.. Although frustrating, hair loss is a normal part of aging — more than 80% of men and 40% of women experience hair loss. While most treatments involve surgery and medication, this isn’t a good option for everyone.
Are you looking for an easy, natural way to replenish your hairline? Introducing laser caps – a comprehensive treatment that re-energizes hair follicles so you experience regrowth. Hair Doc provides laser caps to patients in Cow Hollow, San Francisco, who want an easy and pain-free way to get more hair.
How Laser Caps Work — a comprehensive guide
All you do is put it on your head and wear it for 30 minutes, 3-4 times per week. That’s it. Yep, the laser cap is as easy as that!
The secret behind a laser cap lies in Low-Level Laser Therapy — a noninvasive treatment that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate cellular function. The Laser Cap isn’t a new idea. In fact, it was first introduced in the 1960s for hair restoration, but technological advancements have been made since then.
Here’s a further look at how a laser cap works:
When you place the laser cap on your head, hundreds of diodes are introduced to your scalp, bringing prescription-strength light energy to your hair follicles. The cells on your scalp absorb the light energy and convert it to cellular energy, enhancing cellular production.
The light also brings more blood flow to the scalp, providing more oxygen and nutrients and reducing inflammation to create an ideal environment for new growth. The laser cap also works to extend the anagen — or growth — phase of your hair cycle so you experience fuller, thicker hair.
Looking at the benefits
You might have friends who take medication to help battle hair loss. Perhaps you know someone who has undergone a hair transplant. While these are effective treatments, not everyone is willing to take these measures for their hairline.
A laser cap is a great option for those looking for a more natural way to rebuild your hairline. Let’s explore its benefits:
1. It’s noninvasive
You only get one body in this lifetime, so you have to be careful what you do to it. The laser cap is one of the only noninvasive treatment options for restoring your hairline — no nips or tucks are required.
2. Easy to use
A laser cap is as easy to use as it sounds. Coming in the form of a baseball cap, you place it on your head and can read, write, and cook while you nourish your scalp.
3. Safe and painless
This treatment is safe and has a good track record. Minimal to no side effects have been reported, making it a top treatment for male and female patients. No pain or discomfort is associated with the treatment, making it suitable for patients from all walks of life.
4. Long-term results
Like most hair treatments, the Laser Cap takes a few months to integrate with your hair cycle. Most patients experience results in 3-6 months of consistently using a laser cap. However, these results will be permanent as long as you keep using the treatment.
5. Can be used with other treatments
Have you undergone a hair transplant but are looking to maximize your hair regrowth? The Laser cap can safely be combined with other hair treatments, including a hair transplant and medication.
