Red Light Therapy

We all know natural sunlight can encourage plants to thrive and is essential for our health and well-being. In the same vein, Red Light Therapy can reduce oxidative stress in the body, helping the body to regrow hair. In addition, red light treatment can effectively and efficiently shift energy around the body, potentially speeding up the healing process.

WHAT DOES IT HELP WITH?

Depending on the cause of hair loss, the mode of treatment will vary as well. No known therapy will work for all forms of hair loss, as there is no one-size fits all treatment for it, which is why we offer combination treatments of PRP and Red Light Therapy.

That said, if you’re losing hair because of medication, you would need to stop the medication to reverse the hair loss.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO START RED LIGHT THERAPY?

The earlier a treatment is started, the better the chances of success. There isn’t much that can be done to resurrect a hair follicle once it has died, much like when brain cells die. This is why we recommend beginning Hair Loss Treatments early to ensure optimal success.

WHO ARE THE BEST CANDIDATES FOR HAIR LOSS TREATMENTS?

The primary target of PRP treatments and Red Light Therapy are people who are newly experiencing hair loss, those who are in emotional or physical stress, individuals experiencing post-medication side effects, pattern baldness, and those experiencing menopause.

WHAT IS ILLUMIWAVE?

Illumiwave is a highly effective treatment for those with thinning hair. The Illumiwave laser stimulates healthy cell function.

Hair follicle weakening occurs in the scalp’s vascular network when the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT disrupts the binding of essential proteins and nutrients to cells in the follicle. In time, this lack of nutrients leads to a weakening of the hair in the follicular site. Regeneration of new and healthier cells in the scalp can increase hair quality, hair thickness and hair growth.

Bio-stimulation using lasers at 650nm and 670nm wavelengths are reported to increase nutrient transport and cellular ATP production of cells in the inter-membrane space of the scalp. Furthermore, increased ATP synthesis dramatically increases the mobilization of calcium ion (Ca2+) stores and cell signalling cascades that lead to increased protein production, intracellular nutrient acquisition and cell proliferation. This process ultimately leads to a decrease in DHT-dependent disruption of follicular protein and nutrient loss and to the maintenance of healthy scalp hair. Laser bio-stimulation energy is delivered to the scalp which in turn opens up the vascular network within the scalp by using a cell signalling process.

WHAT’S THE TIMEFRAME FOR RESULTS?

Most patients see full stabilization of hair loss within 3 months and hair regrowth can be seen as early as 6 months.

99% of all patients experience their hair loss stopping and all of them notice thicker, fuller, shinier and healthier hair.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

Our Red Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment and there are no studies or any reports of negative side effects or pain when the devices are used accordingly.
