Hair Loss InformationLasers and Hair Growth – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog
Can you stimulate the scalp to grow hair with Lasers? One hair restoration site was promoting hair growth with Lasers used for women’s hair loss.
The following is just my personal opinion. In my practice I have offered lasers and have carried out limited trials on various lasers offered. I got these lasers free so I tested them on my patients and did not charge them for these treatments. I saw no consistent benefits from the lasers in most of the patients who had the treatment. Some patients have reported subjective benefits and they have been happy. But I have not seen the benefit on a measurable scale so I do not promote it in my practice.
Low Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) is pushed by many doctors because they sell these lasers as laser combs, Laser Hats and other Laser delivery systems under the premise that they bring blood to the balding area and the hair growth therefore improves or there is some direct impact of the LLLT therapy on the hair. There has been no clinical demonstration that these lasers actually help grow hair. If in fact it did bring blood to the area (which I doubt), bringing blood to the area cannot make hair appears where it has died from genetic hair loss. As hair is being lost, it is often impacted by miniaturization (a transition period leading to full hair loss in some people) and the Lasers have not been shown to be effective in these conditions either. Hair won’t suddenly appear, but your wallet will get lighter. Some doctors make a killing selling lasers for as much as $3,000 each.
Hair Loss InformationEnergy Drinks: Does Redbull Grow Hair? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog
I am taking Red Bull along with my work out program. I keep losing hair and I saw from your blog site that working out will not cause hair loss. With that in mind, I want to know if using energy drinks can help my body grow hair. I drink a great deal of Red Bull, but I have not seen value for my hair regrowth.
What in the world would make you thing Red Bull may help your body grow hair? I am missing the logic!
Red Bull contains: caffeine, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamins B6 and B12. There is nothing special about it from a hair follicle point of view.
Energy drinks like Red Bull will not grow your hair back as you have already noticed. When taken in excess amounts, this particular brand can be dangerous, especially if you are a diabetic. There was been one report in the medical literature that presented a patient who drank about 100 ounces of Red Bull per day (5 20 ounce servings). In this particular patient, he developed renal failure (kidney failure) which fortunately did reverse when the Red Bull was stopped. Red Bull contain caffeine as well as other ingredients such as vitamins, sugar, amino acids, and herbs and when taken in moderate doses, it is probably safe, but 100 ounces a day for 3 consecutive weeks, did seem to bring on the kidney problem, a condition that could be life threatening. Just one report may not really do this side effect justice. Using energy drinks in moderation like anything you consume, makes sense.
Hair Loss InformationLaser Vectus Hair Removal Now In Our Los Angeles Office – 15% Discount – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog
We just got the most up-to-date laser hair removal system in our office (The Laser Vectus System) and I stepped up to the plate as one of the earliest patients with this very new technology. My target was my back hair, my neck hair and most significantly my ear hair. I am sure you can see from the subject of this post that my vanity does dictate my actions. As for pain, it was barely detectable for me. Even if it hurt, I knew that the benefit for my ear hair was worth whatever pain it would cause, and once it was done, it was a non-event for me.
From reading our previous posts on hair cycling addressing Anagen and Telogen hair cycles, back hair is like any body hair, which means than only about half of the hair is growing at any one time. The laser only kills hair in the Anagen phase of hair growth. With this knowledge, I expect that the next time I do it (about 8 weeks), there will be new hair on my back that came out of the Telogen phase and went into the Anagen phase. As the laser can only kill hairs in Anagen, at my second session, half of the hairs that remain will not show (as they are beneath the skin surface in some ‘stem cell’ form), so I will have to do it a third time about 8 weeks later to get those hairs that were not in Anagen. The more times I do it, the less Anagen hairs will appear until they will essentially be all gone. My neck hair will probably have a growth cycle similar to my back hair; however, possibly with longer Anagen hair cycles so I am hopeful that the ear hair will have an even higher Anagen to Telogen ratio that would therefore take less sessions.
Now I am so excited about it, I might just tackle some of my chest and arm hair next, but my wife likes my chest hair so the problem is more of a ‘couple problem’ then a medical one. I knew women who did their bikini pubic area and underarm hair. We men may not be as bold and fearless as some women. If you are like me and your are in Southern California, you might now want to take advantage of our Laser Hair Removal Technology and make an appointment with us for an evaluation (see: http://www.newskin.com/z_vt_hair_removal.htm). This technology is not for everyone, especially for men with very dark skin (African Americans) or white hair (not easily killed in Anagen as the laser kills the darker hair only). We will offer anyone coming from this site a 15% discount off of our regular prices for hair removal to qualified candidates.
