Alopecia is a very common problem among adults. For women and men hair loss can be a devastating blow to their self-confidence. Although eventually most all of us lose some hair as we age, some people are genetically prone to lose more hair with aging. Also, there are medical conditions that can result in hair loss. Over the years, slow progress has been made in the treatment of hair loss. Ultimately hair transplants have been the ultimate treatment until the discovery of low-level light therapy was found to significantly improve hair growth. Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) from the Fotona Smoothbeam laser is a simple and pain-free way to grow hair. Just like different plants require different levels and intensities of sunlight to grow and thrive, scientists are finding that stem cells in humans behave the same way. Different organs and tissues respond to different wavelengths and low intensities of light in predictable ways. The future is bright for cell rejuvenation using gentle LLLT, most likely eliminating the need for aggressive surgery, high intensity lasers, and toxic medications in the future. Fotona Smoothbeam for hair growth is a novel treatment discovered by accident while this laser was being used for skin rejuvenation. Along the edge of forehead where the anterior hairline starts, people who were getting Fotona 4D treatments started regrowing hair! This was very evident in bald men who were receiving this treatment.
The mild thermal pulses from the non-ablative erbium;yag Fotona Smoothbeam laser ensures that the laser light is delivered to the tissue gently and efficiently, heating the scalp in a safe and controlled pulsed manner. Activation of Stem Cells in the dermal papillae of miniaturized hair follicles triggers the hair follicle to form an active hair follicle from the epithelial cells. This leads to new hair formation within the follicle. The end result is prevention of future hair loss and increased hair density and thickness.
Our Fotona Smoothbeam hair regrowth program is called HaiRestart. Treatments are very quick and pain free. The treatments take about 10 minutes. We recommend 6 treatments every 2 weeks followed by reevaluation. We also recommend that a full work-up be done for your hair loss before the treatment to identify any underlying medical reason for your hair loss. Most of our patients combine the Fotona Laser treatments with oral medications, vitamins, and PRP to guarantee the best shot at a successful treatment.
