8 Things consumers should know before getting laser hair restoration

Author : HairLaserRemoval.co.uk  How laser hair loss works? Does it really work?

1. How does laser therapy work?
   Laser therapy reactivates hair growth by stimulating live, but weakened, follicles at the cellular level. It does not reactivate dead follicles.

2. Is laser therapy right for me?
   Laser therapy is effective for patients who want to improve weak or thinning hair. However, it does not work for areas of the scalp that are totally bald.

3. How soon should I expect to see results?
   Some patients may see improvement in a few weeks. But significant changes should be expected for six to 12 months.

4. What happens if I stop using it?
   Laser sessions don't cause permanent changes to the follicles. To keep hair growing, patients must follow a regular treatment schedule.

5. Does it work for women too?
   Yes. Laser therapy is a safe and effective treatment for many types of female hair loss.

6. How much does it cost?
   The average prices for 1 session of laser hair loss therapy is $80 (£45), usually at least 25 will be needed.

7. What other treatment options are available?
   Laser therapy can be effective, but the best strategy is to use a multi-therapy approach which may include: Finasteride (Propecia), minoxidil (Rogaine), nutritional supplements (Viviscal, saw palmetto) and follicular-unit hair transplant microsurgery.

8. How do I know it's working?
   Anyone who has hair loss should visit a doctor who specializes in hair restoration and is familiar with what laser therapy can do. Baseline photos and density measurements should be documented before starting treatment. Early results can be subtle, so careful tracking and follow-up is crucial. Discuss with your doctor appropriate expectations before starting therapy.
