What is laser hair therapy?
The LLLT (low level light therapy) Therapy Unit is the most innovative laser system available in today's market for hair therapy offering sleek and brilliant design coupled with the latest technology.

What does laser hair therapy do?
The LLLT Therapy Unit was designed to create a cleaner and healthier environment for the hair and scalp using light energy.

Light energy, when delivered at a low power frequency at different wavelengths, has a bio-stimulating effect on the body. Red light, visible to the human eye, is delivered at 660 nanometers and provides topical heat and massages the scalp allowing the pores to open. Infrared light, invisible to the human eye, is delivered at 940 nanometers and transmits deeper beyond the scalp reaching the cell structure below. The infrared light increases cellular metabolism, blood circulation and the supply of oxygen. The synergistic effect created by the two forms of light allows for an effective producer application and gives the hair its best chance for a healthy growth cycle.

Other effects of light at a lower frequency are: a rapid reduction of inflammatory edema along with a drastic reduction of pain. The infrared light operates at the peripheral nerve fiber level, activating the process of myelimization, optimizing the synaptic function. Infrared light also promotes the process of cicanization or healing.

At the joint levels, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength and muscle resistance are all quickly recovered along with the normalization of the neuromuscular function. The infrared light has a contemporaneous resolution of traumatic wounds and surgery during rehabilitation.

Clinical Tests
Nunber of Subjects: 100 Average Age of Subjects: 45
Number of Male Subjects: 80
Number of Female Subjects: 20
All of the subjects presented initially with various forms of alopecia and hairloss.

The following findings are a result of the clinical trials performed by (Blocked for Privacy Control) Clinic. Milan, Italy

The treatment of the subjects with the BHC Treatment System LDS 100 resulted in a photoreception at the mitochondrial level. Specifically, the radiation was absorbed at the level of the respiratory chain (cytochromes, oxidized cytochromes, dehydogenase flowin) with the consequent activation of the same chain, activating the NAD (Nicotinamide Adanine Nucleutide). At the cellular membrane level, there is an increase in the activity of the enzyme, Na/K aptasis, which activated the flow of Ca+.

The results showed an increase of transduction and amplification of the stimulus in the cellular ambit, with the activation of the cyclical nucleotides which modulate the synthesis of the mRNA and the DNA.

The final photoresponse brought about a bio-stimulating effect on various levels of the cellular metabolism. The exposure to the LDS 100, in short, brought an increase in the cellular metabolism accompanied by and increase of the capillary vascular bed of the radiated area, along with an increase in the supply of oxygen.

Consequently, this metabolic increase resulted in the drastic diminution of hair loss (evidenced by Fig. 1-A below indicating the high percentages in the antagen stage), accompanied by a reactivation of the mitotic activity at the bulb level with an increase of follicular density and relative diminution of the interfollicular spaces.

Scientific explaination and research data
BHC Class I B Laser Recent studies of the sensorial receptor and the chrome strengths have established that light emission can stimulate the sensorial receptor in different ways according to its wavelength. The active stimulus sent forth by the BHC Class I B laser (694 nm) is the result of research and experimentation by experts in photo-electronics, chrome therapy and psychology.
The process of photosynthesis is an excellent example of how light energy can stimulate activity and growth in plant life. Exposure to light results in the bronzing or tanning of the skin. Large multinational companies like GE and Phillips have been spending billions of dollars on the effects of light therapy. The BHC laser system was designed to create a healthier and cleaner environment for the hair and the scalp which not only then permits a more effective product application but also increases the potential for the maturation of the hair.

The product has obtained the necessary approval from European control groups satisfying EEC directives governing electromagnetic and safety compatibility. This product is in compliance with and has met all requirements, for a laser product, set out by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration pursuant to 21 C.F.R. § 1040.

One can understand the applicable principles of infrared through some simple concepts of biophysics, illustrating the photo-biological interaction with the cells. The spectrum of the electromagnetic waves, in operation of the length of the wave, gives rise to the following classifications; radio waves, centimeter waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, nuclear and cosmic radiation.

The living beings live in the compressed spectrum between the infrared and the ultraviolet, with the maximum sensibility around the red color. The cells react to the wavelength of all electromagnetic radiations. Such reactions can be stimulating or harmful according to the power of the radiation.

If you administer radiations with an instrument at a lower power level, said radiations have a bio-stimulating effect. If the radiations are generated at a higher power level, they become isolative.

The infrared radiation penetrates in depth. It transmits without producing great photo-biological effects; if not there where it comes to be absorbed then in the interface between the epidermis and the dermis. The photo-biological bases of therapeutic use of infrared radiation re-engage themselves in a mechanism "fallen" on various structures. There is a photoreception at the microcondrial level. The radiation is absorbed at the level of the respiratory chain (cytochromes, oxidase cytochrome, dehydrogenase flowin …) with the consequent activation of the respiratory chain and further the activation of the NAD.

At the cellular membrane level there is an increase in the activity of the enzyme Na/K, which in turn acts on the flow of Ca+. At this point one has a transduction and an amplification of the stimulus in the ambit cell structure, with the activation of the cyclical nucleotides which modulate the syneresis of the RNA and the DNA. The final photo-response is the bio-stimulation at various levels of the cellular metabolic structure. The biological activation spreads from cell to cell sending chemical transmissions. The infrared light increases the cellular metabolism accompanied by an augmentation of the capillary vascular bed of the radiant vascular zone with an increase also in the supply of oxygen.

Other effects of infrared light at a lower frequency are: a rapid reduction of inflammatory edemas along with a drastic reduction of pain. The infrared light operates at the peripheral nerve fiber level, activating the process of myelinization, optimizing the synaptic function. Infrared light also promotes the process of cicatrization or healing.

At the joint levels, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength and muscle resistance are all quickly recovered along with the normalization of the neuromuscular function. The infrared light has a contemporaneous resolution of traumatic wounds and surgery during rehabilitation.

Reported Studies of LLLT in Hair Loss (Man & Woman)

NOTE: These medical studies are abstracts of reports submitted . Various light sources, including lasers, have been used in attempt's to grow hair and stop hair loss since the 1950's. Some of these studies have included light sensitive drugs. These studies are not presented here.

Professor Andre Mester (1964)
In 1964, Professor Andre Mester began experimenting with the use of low-power laser energy in Budapest, Hungary. He observed that low energy laser exposure has a stimulating effect on the biological system, while high-energy laser exposure had an inhibiting effect. In his experiments with wound treatment on mice, he noticed rapid healing due to microcirculation of blood supply. This healing was also obvious in laser light treatment of diabetic patients suffering with dystrophic sores. He was amazed to find sores that would not otherwise heal were healed, and he also observed accelerated hair growth and thickening of hair in the treated areas. This theory through its evolution has since been refined and is widely becoming one of the most popular non-invasive hair loss treatments.

Laser researcher Dr. J. Layton Wright states: … "Laser Hair Therapy increases microcirculation of the hair follicle, which allows nutrients and freshly oxygenated blood to access the hair follicle with the results being a stimulation of the natural hair growth cycle."

Dr. Trelles (1984)
In 1984, Dr. Trelles showed in one study that patients with alopecia areata who were treated with He-Ne laser 632,8 nm showed a good response. Dr. Trelles reported that most of the patients with alopecia areata responded well after only 6 to 8 treatments administered twice a week for a couple of weeks. The He-Ne laser was placed 30 centimeters from the alopecia areata with dosages ranging from 3-4 Joule per sq. cm. No fibres or lenses were used. In the same study, microscopic evaluation of the hair shaft structure on the alopecia areata irradiated areas showed a clear medulla rich in keratin after treatment. Daily treatments appeared to prevent regrowth, causing irritation with probable increase in hair loss.
At the 4th annual Meeting of the Japan Laser Therapy Association in 1992, success was reported with an increase in both hair growth and the density of the hair follicles in the laser treated areas of both male and female stress alopecia and alopecia areata with only one failure out of 40 cases reported in two papers.

European Studies (1997)
In 1997 a European group of scientist's published their work on LLLT in the treatment of alopecia of the scalp. The authors tried to verify the efficacy of low energy laser (LLLT) in scalp alopecia. Sixty patients were divided in two groups: A) laser group, 33 patients treated with both LLLT and classical therapy; B) control group, 27 patients treated only with classical therapy, Before, during and after treatment, historical samples were done.
For the group A the results were rather superior but in a twice shorter time shorter time than group B. The maintenance of the good results needed classical therapy for a long period. They conclude that LLLT therapy could have a useful complementary method for the treatment of scalp alopecia.

The same European group of scientist's published their findings on LLLT use in the treatment of alopecia and crural ulcers in 1998. The authors tried to verify the efficacy of LLLT in scalp alopecia and crural ulcers of different causes. Laser used was (red diode, continuous emission, 8 mW power, wave length 670 nm spot size about 5 mm diameter on some points. They also use as control classical therapy. Before, during and after treatment, histological samples were taken from alopecia regions. For the laser groups (alopecia and ulcers) the results were rather superior and in a three or twice time shorter than the control group. They conclude that LLLT therapy is a very useful complementary method for the treatment of scalp alopecia and crural ulcers
