Laser Light Hair Treatment Background

Boston Hair Laser: The helium-Neon (He-Ne) Laser was first used in some countries of eastern Europe about eighteen years ago for very different diseases to speed up the healing process. A He-Ne laser produces light measured at a wavelength of 632.8 nanometers, a pure wave-length at the peak of red light in the visible light spectrum. 

Boston Hair Laser Light therapy provided the essential boost of pure red light at precisely the right frequency to revitalize and repair hair, yet it utilizes a soft laser that uses less energy than a 40-watt light bulb. 

Our New LaserTek 9000 gives you more laser treatment on 20 minutes than the Boston did in 150 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions about Laser

Q: Does laser work for everyone?

A: Laser treatments are good for the hair. It works in varying degrees on everyone, from slowing, arresting or reversing hair loss to increasing the shine, body and elasticity of hair. Nothing is more detrimental to your personal appearance than thin-looking lifeless hair. Laser is recommended for either men or women who are in the early stages of hair loss or who demonstrate sufficient hair follicles of being rehabilitated by the laser hair therapy program. To maintain a health head of hair, especially if there is a history of baldness in your family, the sooner you start, the better.

Usually noticeable improvement is achieved in 4 to 6 months. However, if you have heavy hair fall-out, you may notice a reduced rate of fall-out after only a few treatments. Results vary  per individual, and compliance is necessary to achieve the best results. Unlike many treatments, the Laser's energy works on all areas of the scalp: front, top back and sides.

Q: How does laser work?

A: To appreciate how it works, you need to understand the basics of how hair grows and replaces itself in its natural cycle. Every hair on one's head usually grows for several years and then falls out, then root then rests for some weeks before start to re-grow a new hair. This cycle continues throughout our lives. Unfortunately, as we age, some people replace fewer hairs than are shed (and or thinner, lighter hair) resulting in thinner hair and gradually baldness occurs, You don't go bald or thin out because your hair falls out - it's meant to do so. You go bald or thin out if it doesn't grow back! Laser used on a regular basis strengthens and regenerates the hair roots. This slows or arrests, and in some cases, reverses the degenerative cycle as previously described.

Once the hair roots are dead, nothing can be done to restore them, so the sooner treatment is started, the better your results are. Therapeutic pure red light stimulates blood supply to the hair bulb and scalp, increasing the number of red blood cells that deliver vital oxygen and nutrients. The results is a restorative and reparative chain reaction that clears debris from the hair shafts, swells the cortex and closes the cuticle leading to a healthier scalp and hair that looks and feels softer, thicker and shinier, and is more easily managed. Used in conjunction with Scalp Scripts and oral treatment, laser light therapy delivers even more benefits, because the laser light closes the cuticle. When LaserTek 9000 is used with quality conditioners, damaged hair, split ends and even dry, matted hair begin to show improvement. Even the negative effects of chemical perms are reversed with Laser treatments, because each strand of hair is nourished and repaired; making perms look more natural and waves and curls last longer. This is because the laser not only bonds the conditioner to the hair, leaving each strand repaired and shining, it also bonds moisture, invaluable for repairing damaged hair.
