Photo
Digital photos are taken at the beginning of your program and at the end your program; They may also be taken periodically throughout the term of your program.

Laser treatment
Your laser treatment program includes a minimum of 24 treatments. Each Laser treatment is 15 minutes in length. Your consultant may recommend additional treatments or make change to this protocol base on your progress.

Scalp Blood Flow
An important blood study was conducted by P.J Pontinen PHD., measuring the effects of blood flow to establish the effect of increased scalp blood flow. It showed an increase of 54% after the first 30 minute session. This is significant because increased blood flow leads to healthier hair follicles. The way a laser equipment is constructed, with regard to how the laser light is distributed, has a profound effect on the treatment results. The laser hair care delivers the light directly from the laser source, without the loss of light properties and ensures the appropriate dosage.

This treatment has proven to be successful for both men and women. If you have already had a hair transplant, the laser stimulation will enhance your hair’s thickness.

If you are a woman and suffer from hormonal imbalances, Hair Solution’s specialists will give you specific therapies to follow before determining your success with the program. Under no circumstances will Hair Solutions proceed with treatments until we are satisfied you are an excellent candidate who can expect great results.

Low level lasers (referred to as “cold lasers”) stops hair loss in both men and women that works by stimulating the blood flow in the scalp and blocking the harmful hair loss effects caused by DHT. (Dihydrotestosterone).

This proven treatment does not have the thermal components to cut, burn or vaporize tissue. Low level laser therapy, (LLlT), is based on the scientific principal of photo-biotherapy. Photo-biotherapy occurs when laser light is absorbed by the cells in the scalp which causes stimulation of cell metabolism and improves blood flow. Hair growth is generally obvious in 3 to 6 months.

Photo-biotherapy occurs when laser light is absorbed by cells, and causes stimulation of cell metabolism and improved blood flow.

Low Level Laser light was first used to treat lower extremity ulcers in diabetics with poor blood supply. The lasers improved blood flow and at the same time, an astonishing side effect was noticed; body hair located within the radius of the laser beam grew thicker and longer than the surrounding hair.

In clinical studies, laser light is proven to stimulate cellular metabolism, protein synthesis, tissue and cartilage regeneration, while dramatically increasing blood supply to the targeted area.

Low Level Lasers have been used to treat hair loss throughout Europe for over a decade as an alternative to hair transplantation and medications. Their use in the United States has been well documented.

Beginning the Program
When you begin the program, you will receive the products recommended by your consultant.

These products are designed to create a healthy environment for your hair re-growth.

Your hair care products may include all or some of the following: Laser Hair Care Shampoo, Conditioner, Minoxidil, DHT Blocker, and Enzyme Cleaner, as well as instructions for their use.

It is not a requirement of this program to use any or all of the products, but they are available to you.

The microscopic hair camera test takes magnified photos of your hair at the scalp level. This will allow us to compare the diameter change in your hair and see new hair growth that is not detectable with the naked eye. This test is conducted periodically throughout the term of the program. Digital photos are taken at the beginning of your program and at the end of your program; they may also be taken periodically throughout the term of your program.

Your laser program includes a minimum of 45 treatments.

Each laser treatment is 20 minutes in length. Your consultant may recommend additional treatments or make changes to this protocol based on your condition or progress.
*Results may vary.

Scientific studies
The laser hair care system is designed to stop the progression of hair loss and stimulate the growth of new hair. European studies monitoring hundreds of patient have shown an average of 85% success rate in stopping the progression of hair loss and average of 30-60% stimulation of new growth.

Dr. Darrow believes that baldness and hair loss are not always inevitable, and rate of hair loss can often be reduced with proper treatment.

Not everyone wants hair transplants or potentially harmful prescription medications to re-grow their lost hair. If you’re looking for alternatives to surgery or drugs, call Dr. Darrow and find out about his program to stop hair loss and potentially re-grow lost hair.
