Hair loss is a problem that many people care about, but they are afraid of the side effects of taking medicine, and they are afraid to perform hair transplants. Now there are new low-energy lasers with specific wavelengths that can stimulate the activity of hair follicles and prevent hair loss. Low-energy laser was originally used to promote wound recovery, reduce inflammation, etc., but foreign studies have confirmed that at a specific wavelength of 670nm, it can stimulate the activation of scalp hair follicles, enrich blood flow, and prevent a large number of hair loss. It is now used with drugs, hair growth water, etc. For other treatments, the success rate has increased from 40% to 60% to 85%, and low-energy lasers can also be used alone for those with less severe hair loss.

Lin Mingfang, a self-employed plastic surgeon, said that the cycle of hair growth and fall is affected by dihydrotestosterone in the body. Under the influence of genetics, male androgenetic baldness will be particularly obvious, but women also have a crisis of androgenetic baldness, which occurs on the top of the head after menopause. Hair volume will start to thin out, but it is not serious and is less common among women. In addition, serious hair loss caused by drug side effects or excessive stress is also a problem encountered by many office workers and teenagers in recent years. All these can be treated by laser-assisted treatment, but a comprehensive treatment method still needs to be determined under the doctor’s prescription. The success rate of the method is only about half.
New laser shortens rest period
Laser is a kind of light energy invisible to the naked eye. When the scalp is irradiated with a specific wavelength, it will increase protein synthesis, promote vasodilation, increase blood circulation, and make cells proliferate, so it can prolong the period of hair growth and shorten the hair rest. However, if the hair follicles are completely necrotic, the adjuvant therapy of laser irradiation is very ineffective.
Relieves inflammation and pain
Lasers with a wavelength of 670nm are low-energy lasers. In addition to promoting blood circulation in scalp pores, low-energy lasers can also promote wound healing, repair tissues, and reduce inflammation. on physical therapy.
Comprehensive therapy is better
Whether it is oral medicine or hair tonic, the average success rate of any single method for treating hair loss is only 40% to 60%. Studies have confirmed that if oral medicine or hair tonic is combined with low-energy laser, the success rate can be increased to 85%. Dr. Lin Mingfang said that if it is a patient with less severe hair loss, low-energy laser therapy can also be used alone, 1 to 2 times a week, the course of treatment takes about 1 month, and the price is about 20,000 to 40,000 yuan.
Be careful with massive hair loss and diagnose first
The scalp is too greasy and the shampoo is not rinsed well, and long-term accumulation can also cause severe hair loss. Judging from the normal amount of hair loss, an adult loses 100 hairs every day. If you feel that there is too much hair loss, please ask a doctor to diagnose the cause. Do not rub, rub hair tonic or use home remedies by yourself, otherwise it will easily lead to dermatitis and cause redness and swelling of the scalp. fester.
The most important thing is to clean the scalp
Cleaning the scalp is a basic maintenance routine. No matter what type of shampoo or ingredients, it must be thoroughly rinsed so that it will not hurt the scalp. As long as the scalp is injured, if the unwashed shampoo or hair styling products clog the pores of the scalp, it will fall out. Hair will be more serious. Therefore, the most important thing in shampooing is to clean, and you cannot rely on hair care to slow down hair loss.
Physician Says: Traditional Therapy Fails After Stopping
The methods used to treat hair loss in the past will all fail after stopping, but the auxiliary stimulation of low-energy laser normalizes the hair growth cycle, and it can still rely on self-growth after stopping. However, the treatment of hair loss still tends to be comprehensive, and not everyone is suitable for a single treatment.
