Laser Hair Restoration

The main cause of hair loss in men is male pattern baldness. This condition is in action whenever you see a man with patchy hair loss at the front of his head or on the crown. In both instances the hair is dying because the blood flow to the hair follicle has been interrupted. This is known as Androgenetic Alopecia. Although this is fairly common in men it can also be found in women. It is a genetic condition that, unlike the old wives tale, can be passed down from the mother's or father's side of the family. The method of laser hair restoration attacks this condition and helps the hair follicles to start manufacturing hair material again.
The laser brush is a tool designed to counter act the symptoms of this condition which include hair loss in patches usually at the front of the scalp or on the crown. It is claimed that the mechanism for laser hair regrowth is that the heat from the low level light source increases blood flow which in turn counteracts the affects of the male pattern baldness.
This may make sense as the MPB is cause by a build up of DHT at the root of the hair where the blood supply connects. This DHT is a metabolite of testosterone. Although men have more of this hormone than women it can affect both sexes. In fact, when present in women it is called Female Pattern Baldness.
The Titan laser is one such tool and the hair max laser comb is another. The manufacturers of both of these appliances claim that they will help to regrow hair on baldspts or over the entire head. The US FDA has not tested the affectiveness of the devices. They have certified that they laser hair restoration brush and comb will not cause more damage but they have not done any studies that prove the laser tools actually improve hair growth.
Hair laser loss treatments have not been around all that long so long term studies have not had a chance to be done. What studies there have been seem to be inconclusive. I suggest doing a lot of research by visiting manufacturer sites and doing all you can to find out whether they would work for you.

Laser Comb Does It Regrow Hair

The laser comb is a new device that is gaining a lot of attention as a way to regrow hair quickly and easily. The theory behind this tool is that the light heats up the scalp and give better blood flow to the hair follicles. Considering that the number one cause of hair loss in men can be attributed to male pattern baldness this heating may make a difference. The jury is still out.
Male pattern baldness is caused by DHT in the blood stream. DHT is a metabolite of testosterone which is the male hormone responsible for the growth of the male sex organs during puberty along with other things. Actually women also have testosterone just in not as large a quatities as the men do. The testosterone can have the same affect on the hair though because women suffer from a condition where hair falls out in patches known as female pattern baldness. The causes are the same as for the men. The excess DHT in the blood stream builds up at the boundary between the hair follicle and the blood vessels. This buildup eventually chokes off the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the hair growth mechanism and the hair dies. This condition takes a while to come to an end which is why you see the hair on a man who is going bald turn whispy and thin before it actually falls out. Eventually though the hair succumbs to the loss of vital nutrients and oxygen and dies.
The laser hair comb is designed to increse the blood flow to the scalp. The feeling is the increased heat will cause more blood flow which will counteract the decreased flow caused by the DHT buildup. Laser hair growth would be caused because the increased blood flow would allow the nutrients and oxygen to get to the roots of the hair. There are two main laser hair restoration tools on the market today. There is a laser hair comb and a laser hair brush. Both of these use low level lighting to supposedly increase the amount of hair growth.
It has been claimed that the FDA has certified the laser hair comb and laser hair brush for use as hair restoration appliances. This is not the case. What the FDA said was these tools would not cause any damage but they specifically did not run scientific tests to see if they actually performed as advertised.
The laser brush seems to have a little larger following at this time but it is hard to tell. I would suggest you visit several manufacturer's websites and see if the information seems good to you.
