Hair thinning, whether genetically aggravated, pregnancy aggravated, fever aggravated or whatever! aggravated - let's not mention getting OLD! is a frustrating situation. I was researching this topic when I came across a hair brush that is a low level laser tool, for hair regeneration. In fact there are several kinds. They seem to be growing in popularity for scalp health and hair regrowth treatments.
From Wikipedia:
"Credit for the development of laser theory is generally given to Albert Einstein. In his theory "Zur Quantum Theories der Strahlung", published in 1916, he first used the name stimulated emission.
The word LASER is an accronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
In 1967 a few years after the first working laser was invented, Endre Mester in Semmelweis University Budapest, Hungary wanted to find out if laser light could cause cancer. He took some mice, shaved the hair off their backs, divided them into two groups and gave a laser treatment with a low-powered ruby laser to one group. They did not get cancer and to his surprise the shaved hair grew back more quickly on the treated group than the untreated group. That was how "laser biostimulation" was discovered.[2]"
From the BioFlex site, describing laser therapy in general:
"Once inside the cell, the photons comprising the laser beam can trigger many cellular changes such as the production of enzymes, protein substances vital for innumerable bio-chemical actions. Laser light also stimulates the cells’ mitochondria. Mitochondria are tiny biochemical engines that produce enzymes essential for cell function.
In short, low-level laser therapy appears to heal at a cellular level. It’s like shining a ray of sunlight directly on injured cells inside the body and stimulating the cells to return to normal function."
From the MedX site, describing laser therapy in general:
"When the photons of light penetrate the skin and underlying tissue, they are absorbed by the cell, and converted into biological energy, thereby the cell membrane permeability is altered, and this triggers a cascade of cellular events including:" ...(I have shortened this passage somewhat):
***Stimulation of respiratory chain (in the cell) by the energy of the laser
***Increased DNA and RNA synthesis by the energy of the laser
***Increased levels of beta endorphins and serotonin by the light energy of the laser
***Enhanced collagen synthesis by the laser
***Accelerated tissue repair by the laser
***Increased local microcirculation by the laser"
From Wikipedia "There appear to be no safety concerns in its application for therapy in people or animals....". Bear in mind, that no laser beam of any kind should ever be directed toward your eyes.
(It is recommended to use a sulfate-free shampoo with the laser brush. Tahitian Noni International has an entire line of sulfate-free hair products. Plus the benefit of the noni juice too.)
The several brands that I read about report a 3%-7% return rate for the laser brush and comb tools. This is an encouraging figure, I think. It seems you can find a 20 week up to one year refund time.
The laser brush from Verseo offers a full refund up to a year from purchase, if results are not to your satisfaction. An attractive zero risk factor!
If any of you try one of these devices, please let me know what results you get.
