The low- level laser therapy treatment is also known as “The Cold Laser”. The laser light generated by low-powered (cold) lasers has recently come into use as a non-surgical hair restoration treatment for patten hair loss.
The LLLT lasers are called “cold” because their light is absorbed by targeting tissue but does not heat the target tissue as occurs with lasers used to cut and remodel tissue. Instead the laser has an interaction with the living tissue which is defined as photobiology. This laser therapy has been proven to have the best results when combined with other medical therapies such as minoxidil or finasteride. Treatments must be repeated to maintain hair growth and the only permeant treatment for pattern hair loss is still hair transplantation.

Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) are two types of products that are used for treating hair loss. Although these medications work differently they but both have Finasteride is used to treat patterned hair loss.  Finasteride is taken orally and is not available over the counter. You must go to a doctor and get a prescription to get put on this type of treatment. This treatment is not recommended for use in women od reproductive age and it tends to be a little more expensive then Rogaine. Finasteride is most effective in stimulating hair regrowth over the crown of the scalp.
Rogaine (minoxidil) on the other hand is used to treat hair loss in both men and women of all ages. It is available over the counter without a prescription. Rogaine (minoxidil) is applied topically, that is, it is applied directly to scalp skin where cessation of hair loss and stimulation of new hair growth is desired. Rogaine (minoxidil) is most effective in improving hair growth in central areas of the scalp more than in frontal and/or temporal areas.
While both types of treatments are effective there is a right type for everyone and some doctors even recommend both to some men.

A recent study was done to show the effects that Finasteride 5mg (Proscar) has on prostate cancer. The results of this study showed that the overall prevalence of prostate cancer in finasteride-treated men was reduced by 24.8% from the prevalence normally expected in men of that age. These results indicated that finasteride 5mg (Proscar) is effective in preventing or delaying the appearance of prostate cancer. But these results cannot be generalized from finasteride 5mg (Proscar) to the lower dose finasteride 1mg (Propecia), which is commonly given to reduce hair loss. Finasteride 1mg (Propecia) is currently accepted by the Food and Drug Administration as an indication for the safe use in hair loss but is in no way proven to prevent or even delay prostate cancer.

Low Level Laser Technology (LLLT)

request-more-information


The Laser Comb using Low Level Laser Technology (LLLT) can help men and women of all ages who suffer from hair loss by emitting pulses of laser light energy to the scalp to stimulate the hair follicles and improve blood circulation in the area, encouraging hair growth once again.
Recently, the FDA has announced its approval of Low Level Laser Technology for use in the promotion of hair growth for men, with approval for women anticipated soon as well. Dr. Bishara fully endorses the results of this advanced technology and is proud to offer LLLT in his office through treatment with the Laser Cap.

During the LLLT procedure, beams of light are absorbed by the scalp to stimulate blood flow and allow more nutrients to flow to the hair follicles. As a result, hair begins to grow again. Many patients experience significant improvement to the amount and quality of their hair after this procedure, and report benefits such as:

  • Reduction of excessive hair loss
  • Improvement of hair shaft quality
  • Repair of damaged hair follicles
  • Thicker, easier-to-manage hair
  • Reduction of excess oil production in the scalp
  • Relief from itchy scalp symptoms

This treatment is non-invasive and is considered safe for most patients, with no known side effects. The technology used during LLLT ensures that no damage will occur to surrounding living tissues, providing maximum results. LLLT has been used in Europe for over 30 years before its recent approval in the US.
