Does Laser Hair Loss Treatment Work For People Over 50?

Welcome to another helpful health article for men and women over 50. As you know, I generally give you content about natural, holistic, or alternative health concerns. However, today, I want to touch upon something that's not so natural, but more and more people are becoming interested in it... laser hair loss treatment.

I found it very surprising that laser hair loss treatment is becoming one of the most common ways of treating hair loss today... even aong men and women over 50! As a matter of fact, it was already being performed in the last decades of the Twentieth Century before the equipment was even put on the market. Interestingly, laser hair loss treatment is considered a non-surgical solution for hair loss, thinning hair and baldness as well as a series of other disorders of the scalp such as dermatitis.

However, technically, it is a piece of equipment made out of around 50 therapeutic soft low light level lasers delivering light energy to different areas of the head. This principle is based on stimulating cell metabolism while repairing damaged cells at the same time. By using the power of laser light, it is said you can boost and revitalize your hair.

The theory is that light is energy and as a consequence, cells are able to survive thanks to light. The same goes for your hair. Much to my surprise, this has proven to be particularly efficient when combined with the proper hair hygiene products. I have found that laser hair loss treatment is more effective when used with Minoxidil (the first drug approved by the FDA for hair loss), together with the right scalp hygiene.

This type of treatment has been so successful that it has received numerous, positive reviews. Many magazines (including those catering to seniors), newspapers and TV channels claim that the success of this method of treating hair loss is one of the best on the market today.

It is said there are many benefits of laser hair loss treatment and the people who have tried it have been satisfied with the results... claiming that their hair loss had been greatly reduced after about six weeks of treatment and re-growth could be seen after about three months.

It is also stated and believed that using laser hair loss treatment can improve the flow of blood supply to the scalp after a single treatment. The correct dosage of light energy is applied from a different number of laser positions that helps in stimulating hair follicles, preventing too much hair loss and giving beautiful hair that is shiny, soft as well as thick and better manageable.

Laser hair loss treatment is the new, scientific approach to reducing scalp hair loss. It does not require any kind of surgery at all, just patience and time for the hair to recuperate. Moreover it has been tested to be both safe and effective.

Last but not least, studies conducted by the International Journal of Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology, have demonstrated that laser hair loss treatment can positively help lots of hair loss sufferers in reducing the amount of hair loss. However, it is my personal belief that more studies should be done on long term and side effects... especially on old folks like us that are over 50

What's your take on this new form of treatment?
