FDA
Approved Medical Hair Loss Treatment
Worldwide, it is estimated
that 30% of all people, male and female, in their 30s, 40% of all
people in their 40s, and 50% of all people on their 50s suffer hair
deterioration. It is recognized that less than 5% of hair loss sufferers
seek treatment or use a hair loss product because of the fear of
side effects from drug therapies, the ongoing expense of treatments
or the fear of surgery. There has been little hope of an attractive,
affordable and acceptable treatment, that is, until today.
Now there is well-founded
hope in the battle to maintain a full healthy head of hair: the
HairMax LaserComb™. The LaserComb is a Laser PhotoTherapy device
that has been shown to be safe and effective for the home treatment
of hair loss (Alopecia). Laser PhotoTherapy, also called Low Level
Laser Therapy in the medical community, is a safe, effective therapy
with no known side effects.
About
The HairMax LaserComb™
The HairMax LaserComb
is a hand-held, precision-built device that delivers the stimulating
effects of laser energy to activate the growth of healthy, vibrant
hair.
The HairMax LaserComb
has continuously shown, in most people, to:
- Control hair loss
in men and women of all ages.
- Stimulate re-growth
of scalp hair.
- Strengthen, improve
and thicken existing hair.
- Improve the condition,
quality and overall cosmetic appearance of hair.
The HairMax LaserComb works by delivering the energizing effects
of Laser PhotoTherapy, a form of light stimulation, which causes
hair to grow thicker, fuller and healthier. HairMax LaserComb treatments
stimulate hair follicles to produce healthy new hair without topical
solutions or drugs, which may cause worrisome changes in hormone
levels.
In December of 2002,
the Canadian Government (Health Canada cleared the HairMax LaserComb
as a Class 2 Medical Device capable of stopping hair loss and re-growing
hair in both men and women.
In December of 2003,
The LaserComb was classified as a Class 2a Medical Device in The
LaserComb was found to comply with quality, safety and performance
requirements set forth by the Health Sciences Authority for medical
devices.

Phototherapy
Scientific studies
have been performed showing that increases in the amount of the
biological molecule adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, causes the individual
cells to increase their activity. ATP is integral to the function
of the cell as an “energy transporter”. It is postulated that laser
light energy can be collected in the mitochondria of the cell which
then transfers this energy to produce ATP. This process is similar
to photosynthesis which causes growth in plants.
ATP – Nature’s Energy
Store
All living things, plants and animals, require a continual supply
of energy in order to function. The energy is used for all the processes
which keep the organism alive. Some of these processes occur continually,
such as the metabolism of food, the synthesis of large biologically
important molecules, e.g. proteins and DNA, and the transport of
molecules and ions throughout the organism.
ATP works by losing
the endmost phosphate group when instructed to do so by an enzyme.
This reaction releases a large amount of energy, which the organism
can then use to build proteins and other cell functions.
ATP and Laser Light
Stimulation
Other studies using specific wavelengths of certain lasers show
increased activity in cell and bacterial cultures, probably the
result of ATP production.
The HairMax LaserComb
provides stimulating laser energy in what we believe is a two-fold
approach to energize the weakened follicle. The hypothesis behind
the LaserComb’s success combines increased vascularization and an
increase in cellular metabolism. Laser energy has been demonstrated
to increase the blood flow and circulation in the scalp. This increase
in blood flow is crucial to promoting a healthy hair follicle. The
increase in blood flow brings the important nutrients into the follicle,
while taking away harmful waste products such as DHT. The increase
in ATP as described in earlier paragraphs, increases cellular metabolism
and cellular activity. The hair follicle now has the building blocks
and energy to transform from a weakened follicle to one that is
healthy and capable of producing beautiful, thick healthy hair.
The enhanced environment then in turn invigorates the hair follicle
which produces healthier hair, prevents further hair loss and stimulates
the re-growth of hair.
How
the LaserComb Works
The HairMax LaserComb
harnesses the energizing and nourishing effects of Laser PhotoThereapy
to make hair look healthy and vibrant. Light is energy. Living cells
thrive in light and your hair is no different. The end result is
that the appearance of your hair will improve and you will feel
good about your hair again.
The
HairMax LaserComb Works for Both Men and Women
With two decades of
clinical experience Internationally, the results seen with the laser
used in the LaserComb are both encouraging and impressive. Direct
experience shows that, unlike other treatments, men and women of
all ages respond to the positive benefits of Laser PhotoTherapy.
It is no surprise that satisfied users range in age from 18 to their
late 80's. |
