Low Level Laser Therapy ‐ LLLT  Hungarian researcher Mester in 1967, found 500 mili watts, low power 694nm ruby laser increased hair growth on backs of shaved mice  Enhances the Oxygen exchange chain in the Mitochondria, leading to more ATP and Cyclic AMP formation  Displacement of Nitric Oxide & Toxins out of the cells allowing more oxygen to enter for better growth  Induces angiogenesis, forming new blood vessels around the hair follicles  Reduces inflammation and activates response to Reactive Oxygen Species ‐ ROS

Low Level Laser Therapy ‐ LLLT  Hungarian researcher Mester in 1967, found 500 milli watts, low power 694nm ruby laser increased hair growth on backs of shaved mice • Reduce inflammation, enhance wound healing • Stimulation of Oxygen exchange chain in the mitochondria, • Increased formation of ATP and Cyclic AMP

Low Level Laser Therapy ‐ LLLT  Displacement of NO – Nitric Oxide out of the cells allowing more Oxygen into the cells  Released NO induces vasodilatation improving perfusion to the hair roots  Activation of response to Oxidative stress

Laser Protocol  Ideal to have twice a week  Even once a week in busy patients who cannot find time twice a week – is effective  Ware the Helmet for 20 minutes, the device has a auto shut off after 20 minutes  New Classification developed by US FDA for this Laser, it is LLLT – Low Light Laser Therapy  Strength is ½ Watts & is safe to be used at home without any medical supervision
