2024 Best Way to Help Your Hair Grow Faster and Stronger
JLzhengThinning hair can be troubling for both men and women and searching for an effective solution is quite challenging. In recent years, laser caps have been promoted as a way to regrow hair in as little as three months, but do they work? Over 35 million men and 21 million women in the United States are dealing with hair loss and are familiar with various creams, pills, and surgical treatments, which often come with side effects. This has led to a growing interest in natural, safe, and non-invasive options. Red light therapy (RLT) is becoming an increasingly popular solution, with some studies suggesting it can reverse hair loss and restore natural hair growth. In this blog, we will explore the research behind RLT, its effectiveness for male and female pattern baldness, and how to use it at home for the best results.
What are Laser & LED Hair Helmets for Hair Regrowth?
Megelin’s Laser hair growth helmets are cap-like devices designed to stimulate the scalp using red light, promoting new hair growth. Most of these helmets use lasers, while some rely on light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to achieve this effect. Users are typically recommended to wear the helmet several times a week. According to manufacturers, noticeable hair regrowth can be expected within three months of regular use.
How do Red Light Therapy and Laser Work to Regrow Hair?
Red light therapy activates dormant hair follicles and works in the following ways:
- Boosts Cell Energy: Energizes mitochondria, leading to enhanced cellular energy and metabolism.
- Enhances Blood Flow: Ensures more blood reaches the scalp, combating root causes of hair thinning.
- Minimizes Inflammation: Fosters a healthier scalp and neutralizes threats like DHT, a byproduct of testosterone. Better-for-you, drug-free, non-invasive hair regrowth in the comfort of your home without the harmful side effects of drugs.
- Increased Collagen Production： Collagen supports the dermis containing the hair follicles, acts as an antioxidant against free radical damage, protects the follicles from normal functioning， and promotes hair growth.
Effect of red light therapy on hair growth
- Increase Hair Growth
- Promotes Scalp Health
- Reduces Inflammation
Which method of hair regrowth works best, LED or laser?
LED: The relatively wide irradiation range enables it to cover a larger area of the scalp and is therefore suitable for full hair growth. Its energy is relatively weak and there is no risk of high heat or burns, making it suitable for prolonged use.
Laser: Higher intensity, but more limited in its exposure, usually only able to target specific areas of hair loss. The laser's energy is more concentrated and can penetrate deeper into the hair follicle.
In short，our Megelin hair growth helmet combines both LED and laser technologies. This product not only covers the entire scalp but also provides more targeted treatment for localized hair loss.
Risks and Side Effects of Using Laser Hair Growth Helmet
- Low-intensity light therapy (using lasers or LEDs) is considered a safe method for treating hair loss when used under guidance. Most people do not experience side effects even with prolonged use.
- Some individuals may experience temporary scalp redness or tightness after treatment, likely due to increased localized blood flow.
- Consistent weekly treatments are crucial, typically recommended at 3 times a week for 15 minutes or longer per session. This is because hair follicles have a growth cycle of approximately three months. Continued treatment ensures that dormant follicles are continually stimulated into the growth phase.
- Unlike some medications that promote hair growth, red light therapy does not induce unwanted hair growth in other body parts. It achieves this by stimulating the natural hair growth process, ensuring hair only regrows in the treated area
Conclusion
In summary, Megelin laser and LED hair growth helmets utilize low-intensity light therapy to stimulate follicles and promote hair regrowth. Mechanisms of action for red light therapy and laser include increasing cellular energy production, improving blood flow, and promoting collagen synthesis, all contributing to healthier follicles and hair growth. Overall, these therapies offer a non-invasive and effective approach to combating hair loss and promoting scalp health. Welcome to Megelin's laser LED hair growth helmet.
