Low-Level Laser Hair Loss
This technique is designed around a scientific
concept known as photo bio-therapy. This
involves the use of laser lights to stimulate
cell growth. As with drug treatments, patients
who seem to respond to this form of therapy have
areas of thinning, rather than areas of the
scalp that are completely bald. Laser therapy
for hair loss can be administered in a doctor’s
office and is also available in a smaller home
version.
The home version works like a comb to spread the
hair so the laser light can more easily reach
the scalp. More powerful laser systems that
utilize a rotational therapy process are
available for use under a doctor’s supervision.

5 Top nutritional tips to
prevent hair loss
Protein is composed of the amino acids essential for
the building of new cells, including hair.
Five
amino acids are of particular relevance to hair
growth - cystine, cysteine, methionine, arginine and
lysine.
Inadequate protein intake over a lengthy period can
force hair into the resting phase with shedding a
few months later. It is obvious then that sufficient
portions of protein rich foods should form part of
your daily diet. The best sources of dietary protein
are lean meats, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products,
soy, nuts, grains and seeds. At least 15% of your
daily calories should come from protein-rich foods.

Camouflage Techniques
Using cosmetics is a common way of hiding ones
hair loss and is often used by persons who are
just starting to thin, especially in the crown.
A number of over the counter products are now
available that can make the hair look thicker.
They come primarily in powders, sprays and
creams. The main limitation of all of these
products is that unless the person has a
significant amount of hair to hold the cosmetics
in place, it doesn’t look natural.
Wigs, hats (particularly baseball caps) and
scarves are all used to hide one’s balding. In
recent years, elaborate hair systems, attached
by glue or sewn to the patient’s existing hair,
have evolved into a major industry. The problem
with these systems is that they must be
periodically adjusted, requiring repeated visits
to the salon and significant expense. Because
they can’t be removed at night, they cause
traction hair loss, making the user even more
dependent on the hair piece. They are also
difficult to clean and often give the wearer the
appearance of having too much hair.
The final option to hide one’s hair loss is to
simply shave the head. For many men, and for a
small percentage of women, this solves the
problem in its entirety. While it may take
people time to adjust to this new look, some
patients simply feel more free by eliminating
the hair loss problem in this way.
