The Wonder of Hair Laser Regrowth Technology

Hair laser regrowth technology is not just a promising therapy for those suffering from alopecia or hair loss. Overtime, it has been demonstrating great efficacy to millions of hair loss sufferers in the world, as studies would have it.

Treating hair loss through laser therapy has been around for more than 35 years now upon its discovery by the Hungarian scientist Endre Mester. Laser therapy was only limited for use to kill pain, heal lesions, stop nicotine addiction, etc. But due to its observed effectiveness in the management of hair fall and hair loss, it gradually became popular in Europe and now widely used in the U.S. as well. But a lot of people are still very hesitant to try hair laser regrowth treatment for many reasons, so they ask, ‘Does it work?’

Setting realistic expectations from a certain product is the key to determine whether the product actually works or not. Prospective users should be aware of the fact that not a single hair loss treatment product is made for everyone to enjoy.

These devices generally use low level lasers. However, not all devices are the same. Since there are no hard and fast rules in conducting laser therapy, handheld laser devices differ mostly in the penetration depth; thus, they produce varied results.

Laser therapy involves no chemicals and medications. It is a non-invasive method of treating hair loss and, to date, has no significant side effects. Moreover, laser combs are anagen inductors which is why they can be used in conjunction with other hair loss products.

Using Non-Surgical Hair Systems When Hair Loss Products Just Don’t Work

As Brad Pitt feels euphoric after the announcement of the Academy Award nominations this year, nearly half of the world’s adult population could be feeling the exact opposite - not from the lack of nomination of their favourite celebrities but from the lack of mane.

While hair loss is part of the natural ageing process, studies show that it can be a major source of depression, whether permanent or temporary. Thankfully, there are various hair loss products that are just available over-the-counter or online, by prescription, and at hair loss clinics.

Unlike surgical hair restoration, hair growth treatments can take a long period of time to take effect especially if the condition is permanent. Sometimes, they don’t even work. This is where non-surgical hair replacement systems can be a friend.

Non-surgical Hair Replacement Systems

Non-surgical hair replacement systems are hair-supporting devices which are integrated to the existing hair or attached to the scalp to conceal the hair loss condition or thinning hair. Hair weaving, hair extensions, hair prosthetic devices, hair fusions, and wigs are considered non-surgical hair replacement systems designed to provide a satisfactory coverage for the area of hair loss. They are typically made of human hair, synthetic fibres, or a combination of both. If the hair system is of high-quality, wearers can wear them with comfort and resume with their normal daily activities like it is just the natural hair.

Hair Dyes Can Lead to Increased Cancer Risk, Besides Hair Loss

There are endless possibilities you can do with your hair. But it is colouring or dyeing it that is the common routine for us, ladies. Getting a new hair color is indeed very enjoyable, not to mention it does boost one’s confidence one way or another.

But do you know that frequently dyeing your hair can hamper healthy hair growth? Aside from probably developing alopecia (hair loss), hair dyes can increase the risk of developing cancer, according to reports.

The connection between hair dyes and cancer is not groundless. There is a significant amount of evidence to support that using hair dyes for several years can slightly increase a woman’s risk of developing ovarian cancer and certain cancers of the immune system. It is reported that the permanence, period of time worn, and darkness of the shade increase this risk.

There are many types of hair dyes: permanent (or oxidative), semi-permanent, and temporary. Most commercially available dyes are permanent such as intermediates (aromatic amines) and dye ‘couplers’. Permanent dyes account for 80% of the currently marketed products.

A few decades ago, researchers have reported that darker shades (particularly those that contain aromatic amines) are carcinogenic in animals. However, these reports did not indicate that hairdressers were at risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and leukemia. Furthermore, the reports failed to investigate the possibility that environmental and sociological factors may have increased this risk instead.

How Does Aging Affect Hair Regrowth

Hair is elemental in a person’s identity. It is a chief signifier of a person for many people. Woman’s hair, in particular, had always had that certain power to charm or mystify that it has been used in images and stories throughout history.

The hair of Medusa, Rapunzel, and Jo March (in Little Women) point to the assumption that the hair has a powerful charm in so many ways. However, for women, the hair is not as timeless as the hair of these characters in tales. Unfortunately, as we age, our hair ages as well. Overtime, we experience poor hair regrowth due to many factors.

Between the ages 8–14, a girl steps in the puberty stage. Simultaneously, we experience increased self-consciousness and understanding of the importance of beauty in an image-oriented society. This explains why the hair is an essential part to express individuality.

Girls undergoing the phase would then experiment with new hair trends by using the latest hair products and undergoing chemical hair treatments - anything that promise beautiful locks. Unfortunately, oftentimes, this results in hair and scalp damage. In the event, they may experience an aging hair even at a young age.

Hair Loss Products with Powerful Anti-Androgenic Properties

When you are losing your hair, “OK” is never enough. When people around you start comforting you and say, “So what, it’s just hair?” or that “It’s only natural,” it’s then you realize no one really understands the emotional and psychological turmoil churning up in you.

Some people do think lowly of the hair and its true essence. For one thing, it is substantially dead. For another, it causes indefinite vanity. But unless these people experience what you are experiencing, it’s only when they would come to realize the hair seems to take on its own life.

Genetic hair loss is in fact the most trying form of hair loss as it is permanent, not to mention, time-sensitive. Because it is triggered by the androgens, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, hair loss products that contain compounds with anti-androgenic activity can be helpful in its management.

Hair Loss Facts: The Importance of Hair, Then and Now

Imagine if humans were born without hair, that growing hair on the head is considered abnormal? That the term “hair” did not even exist at all? Or that there is no solution, permanent or temporary, to remove or hide it? Wouldn’t just this freakish outgrowth incite psychological and social anxiety? True, that is only theoretical. But when it happens to you, anxiety in all forms will be a certainty because you deviate from the definition of being “normal.”

The point is, this  leaves us fully aware of the social pressures we were introduced to and how we unconsciously succumbed to them. Now they are fully embedded in our system and we cannot simply escape them - because living without hair is the exact opposite of the reality we are living today. How important, then, has hair become?

Even during the metal ages, people already considered hair an essential structure. Evidences from well-preserved graves suggest that people have a high regard for their physical appearance and hair was their primary instrument to a change in appearance. Their hairstyles were quite refined. Women used braids, hairnets, and ornaments. They also kept their hair at a shoulder length or in a bob. In the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age graves, a hair dress was a common equipment.
