Laser Cap Helps Fight Baldness, Thickens Hair Even While Watching TV or Eating Popcorn

A new laser cap that uses low light laser therapy can help fight signs of hair loss to prevent men from completely going bald. It can be inserted in a ball cap and use at home while relaxing.

This is a novel way to address problems of male pattern baldness that affects around 42% of men in ages between 18 to 49 who experience moderate to extensive hair loss.

What is Low Light Laser Therapy?

According to Physiopedia, the term laser is the acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Different technologies have made use of laser technology for various practical uses.

Low-level light therapy (LLLT) was discovered by Hungarian physician Endre Mester in the 1960s. It is a non-invasive light source that generates a single wavelength of light commonly used in medicine by physiotherapists to treat musculoskeletal conditions.

This applies to the field of medicine is called photobiology or biostimulation. It can accelerate the repair of connective tissue and act as an anti-inflammatory agent.

A study entitled "The growth of human scalp hair mediated by visible red light laser and LED sources in males," showed that LLLT could be used to improve hair count in both men and women who suffer from androgenic alopecia, the most common form of hair loss.

How Does Low Light Therapy Regrow Hair?

Lasers typically emit hot light, but LLLT does not generate heat, which is why it is sometimes referred to as cold laser therapy.

According to Futurism, low light laser therapy works by emitting light from the laser diodes that enhances blood circulation in the skin, which transports more nutrients. Therefore, LLLT stimulates the metabolism and protein synthesis in hair follicle cells in a process called photobiomodulation.

Prolonged usage of photobiomodulation could activate hair follicles and switch them from their dormant or telogen phase into their active or anagen phase that enables hair to regrow in places where it stopped growing.

LLLT in Laser Cap System For Hair Regrowth

LLLT was only used in clinics before, but several companies have now made it possible to treat baldness even at the comfort of the user's home while sitting on a couch and watching TV or eating some snacks.

For example, Kiierr Laser Cap is equipped with a helmet that can fit inside a regular baseball cap. The laser diodes in each Kiierr laser cap emit a wavelength of 650 nanometers that is clinically proven effective. The more intense the light is emitted, the lesser time is needed for the completion and success of the treatment.

The results of using LLLT could be visible after three to four months, with maximum results after six or seven months. Meanwhile, using Kiierr 272 Premium for 30 minutes every day is 93% effective in regrowing and thickening hair.
