Maintaining your hair may be easier to do than ever. That's what low-level light therapy can do for you. This treatment therapy is approved by the FDA in the United States. It is approved to effectively treat thinning hair or moderate hair loss. There are numerous benefits to using this therapy over other methods of hair loss prevention and improvement. It is a virtually painless process and it is non-invasive. Additionally, this method works on both men and women equally. How can it help you?

What Is Low-Level Light Therapy?

The process uses light or low-level light therapy as a way to reduce hair loss. Laser and light therapy products have low levels of energy, but are very effective overall. There are two types of devices available, one using a laser and the other using LED lighting devices. The process is very precise requiring very specific levels of energy used within a threshold area and within a specific wavelength. The laser products are sometimes called cold lasers because, unlike other laser-type treatments, they do not produce heat.

How Does It Treat Hair Loss?

Ultimately, it is not fully understood how lasers and light therapy affect the hair follicles and prevent hair loss, but it is effective. What we do know is the low level of light energy is absorbed by the body's cells. Once in the cells, it stimulates activity there. This activity helps to encourage hair growth and can help aging cells to work properly. As a result of this increased activity, the process works to restore thinning hair.

How Can Low-Level Light Therapy Help You?

This particular type of hair loss therapy can help many people. If you have any level of hair loss or you may be prone to it, you can use this treatment to get significant results. It works particularly well on people in the following situations:
