Laser comb for hair from falling and growth. Fact or Fiction?

Laser Comb. Saw this device on the Internet I was very interesting - what is it, what is good and what is, in this respect the arguments except the colorful promotional articles?

Especially Autumn time we girls always connected with a furious search for funds for growth if not, then at least from falling out.

In fact, the autumn moult - a natural process, so try frantically to stop this disgrace - it makes no sense. This is slightly more abundant loss will not leave you bald, and even unlikely to significantly affect the density. Yet, to use means to strengthen the hair, to maintain density during this period - will not be superfluous.

In this method there Trichology opredleniya intensity of hair loss:
To perform this test is necessary to capture a small tuft of hair (hair 50-60) between the thumb and forefinger, and with some effort, but not very sharply, pulling hair. If left in the hands of researchers over 10% of the hair (hair than 6), the test indicates the presence of a pathological hair loss (positive test). Fewer lessons hair indicates the physiological hair loss. The procedure should be carried out in 4 areas - in the parietal region of the left and right in the frontal and occipital. To correct the test the patient is asked not to wash my hair for 5 days preceding the survey. Often patients come to the reception on the same day when they washed my head. In such a situation, the dough holding impractical because all telogen hair will already washed.

Or there is a second method, the calculation of the hair with shampoo:
Helps to assess the intensity of hair loss, make a differential diagnosis between androgenetic alopecia and telogen. In preparation for the test patient should not wash their hair for 5 days. After washing your hair with shampoo, you must cover the drain hole in the bathroom with gauze. Collect all the remaining hair in the bathroom and put them in a row on white paper. Calculate the total number of washed hair, the hair amount to 3 cm in length, 3 to 5 cm. Hair length less than 3 cm are usually vellus, diameter less than 30 microns. Normally, the amount thus washed hair is usually 200-250. When the number of androgenetic alopecia washed vellus hair is usually above 10%, while telogen hair loss - less than 10%; the total amount of washed hair with AGA usually does not exceed 100, telogen alopecia - more than 250. In this test, it should be noted that among the short hair can be hair, broken or cut to this length shearing, and they are "stupid" tip - such hair is considered "long". It is impracticable to test if the length of the patient's hair at least 6 cm. The disadvantage is that the forces exerted when washing hair may be different, is also important the intensity with which the patient is brushing her hair in the days of preparation for the test.

Observations which should not be afraid:
1. Fall short hair. Please note that the presence of fallen short hair- is normnoy at opredlenii numerical indicators! So even if you do not spend any calculation methods, but just short notice voloski- is normal.

2. Loss of enhanced if the head is dirty. - If you carefully and thoughtfully read these two ways of counting of hair loss, can be understood that this is normal and the way it should be! This is a natural physiology.

3. otsutvii combing number of lost hair after washing increases. - It's just normalno and logical and all is well with you!

Therefore, if you notice 3 of the moment, it does not scare them stoit- is normal, logical move all processes.

Now back to the laser comb.

A group of Hungarian scientists in 1967 showed the ability of the laser beam to penetrate deep beneath the skin surface to the roots of the hair, stimulate blood flow, cause the growth of new cells and remove toxins. The result was the recovery of the scalp and the individual hair follicles.
 In 1992 he published the first paper that discusses the possibility of using a laser for hair growth. Laser treatment is one of the possible options for the treatment of androgenic alopecia and other types. That's only in medical institutions are used more powerful laser devices than domestic comb.
And in 1903, Dr. Niels Finsenu awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his contribution to the treatment of diseases with concentrated light energy.
According to the US Department of Health and other experts in the treatment of hair loss, low level laser therapy for hair treatment itself can stop hair loss by using low-frequency pulsing of the light beam, which has a rejuvenating effect on the scalp, increases blood flow and restores the hair roots.
In 2008, Dr. Yves Crassis (Evaluation of the Activity of Laser Doses On Ex-Vivo Hair Growth Lyon, France) conducted a study of the effect of laser radiation on the hair follicles ex-vivo. The study found that those hairs that were subjected to daily 4 minutes of laser radiation - have grown stronger than those hairs that were simply placed in the culture medium. Hair subjected to laser radiation increased by 75% more than the hair is not exposed to the laser.

In more scientific terms, the biological effects of therapy with low-intensity laser radiation due to the active introduction of photons in the tissues of the body. Received energy initiates a cascade of chemical reactions that modulate a variety of cellular functions.
In 2005, Bernstein described the growth of terminal hair on the back of the neck at the 24 -year men after a single exposure to this area of ​​the laser with a wavelength of 810 nm. Korean researchers conducted a series of experiments to study the hair growth in mice exposed to 890-nm laser, 1,5 mW / cm2. They showed that in the control group of mice with hair growth resumed 13 days after epilation, hair full recovery occurred by the 25th day. In the group of mice that were exposed to laser noticeable hair growth was observed already on day 7, and full recovery of hair happened to the 20 day.
 Most lasers used for cosmetic purposes to affect skin components that absorb light. The main components that affect your hair is
- Melanin (hair follicles)
- Hemoglobin (blood vessels)
- Water (throughout the epidermis and dermis - the scalp)


Medical lasers can be high or low power. Powerful lasers are very effective in treating a number of diseases, they are used for the destruction of hair follicles and hair removal, treatment of blood vessels (eg varicose veins), and reduce wrinkles. High-power lasers can penetrate tissue, burn tissue and radiate heat.



Low power lasers do not emit heat, and, as a rule, are used to treat damaged tissue, rather than destroying the fabric.



Low-power lasers using hair loss, proceed as follows. The chromophore absorbs a laser beam, which then stimulates the growth of hair in balding area, possibly by increasing the blood flow and increase the flow of oxygen, which can stimulate the hair follicles at the cellular level and thereby hair grow thicker and longer.



Some doctors believe that these effects are caused by photochemical reaction due to the interaction of laser light with hair follicles. This reaction change the internal processing cells and signals this to start growth, and not to die slowly. Hair that has already begun to miniaturization (thin in diameter) appears to respond to treatment, although completely bald areas usually does not disappear.



When choosing a laser comb is important to pay attention to its power. The laser power is 3 670 living species, 780, 830, and mixed type devices.

How to apply:

Depending on the capacity of the comb is likely to be different and instructions. But that's what they write about comb DIVOLUX "Noticeable results only occur with regular use of the laser device. It is recommended to use the device more than once a day and more often, the better. We advise you to use the device as follows - 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening. Note: This device has contraindications. Consult your dermatologist. "

Unfortunately, very often on sites do not write technical characteristics of the device, in which case you should specify this seller.

One of the first combs, appeared for home use, HairMax LaserComb began in 2007 with the depth of the mixed type-rays 670, 780, 830. (830 is the maximum depth and that it is used by physicians in the Food Stamp offices)

Another firma- Revage 670, depth rays 660nm.

LASER HAIR HS585, GEZATONE- more ubiquitous in our Russian firm. But I have never been able to find its characteristics. I'll try to clarify here later.

In the treatment of hair loss laser is used as an independent therapy, it is complemented by taking pills, vitamins, meso therapy, ozone therapy and appropriate Skin Care: shampoos, lotions.

While looking for all this stuff - not seriously interested in myself, I do not know how "soon", but I think that puzzled the acquisition of such a device for themselves and ever tell you about my personal impressions.

While at my disposal only darsenval and apply it to the hair I Do not like it very dry oily scalp and dandruff appears small, because of this, I almost never made a normal course good for the hair.
