Thinning hair is a frustrating and distressing concern. While some hair restoration methods can be tedious and painful, laser hair caps utilizing low-level laser therapy provide a non-invasive solution that is simple, effective, and comfortable. Our team at Michigan Hair Restoration in Detroit is thrilled to offer this cutting-edge technology to help patients reclaim a more positive self-image.

What is low-level laser therapy?

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a cutting-edge, light-based treatment modality that can be used to stimulate cellular renewal. When applied to the scalp, it can restore healthy hair growth. A range of laser light wavelengths – red through infrared – are utilized to repair and regenerate damaged tissue. LLLT was approved by the FDA for male and female hair restoration in 2007.

WHAT IS A LASER HAIR CAP?

Approved by the FDA to restore hair growth, laser hair caps have forged a new path for at-home hair restoration. These devices utilize technology that was previously only available at hair clinics. They involve a functional, discreet cap that can fit comfortably under almost any sports hat. The cap is powered by low-level laser therapy (LLLT) technology that stimulates the hair follicles to trigger hair regrowth.

The laser hair cap evenly distributes low-level laser therapy across the scalp and does not produce a discernible sensation or pain. The treatment can be just as effective as other forms of hair restoration, but without any of the complex products or procedures – simply put on your hat and continue your daily routine.

Best Candidates for a Laser Hair Cap

This safe and effective treatment for hair loss is suitable for men and women who are living with thinning hair. Women typically experience thinning on the top of the scalp, while men are prone to male-pattern baldness, with thinning or balding areas on either side of the forehead, and at the crown. The low-level laser therapy-powered hair cap is most effective for those who are in the early stages of hair loss, as opposed to those who have been bald for many years.

Low-level laser therapy may not be as effective on some darker skin tones, but let us help you determine if you are a good candidate. Dr. Berkowitz has many years of experience and can help you find out more about this innovative, non-invasive treatment.

HOW DOES THE LASER HAIR CAP WORK?

Laser hair caps utilize low-level laser therapy (LLLT), which is a frequency of laser light that stimulates hair growth without the risk of damaging surrounding tissues.

The hair cap is battery-powered and can be worn during virtually any activity. As the system produces no negative side effects, your day will not be disrupted when wearing the laser hair cap.

Low-level laser therapy works by re-energizing hair follicles and increasing cellular respiration. The stimulated follicles will produce stronger and healthier hair, and LLLT can activate hair growth within follicles that have gone dormant. You only need to wear the cap for a short portion of your day, so it’s easy to fit into your routine. You can wear the cap at home if you prefer not to wear hats in public. The treatment is completely flexible and customizable based on your needs and preferences.

Laser Hair Cap vs. Other Methods of Hair Restoration

Most people in Michigan use a laser hair cap as a low-maintenance, non-surgical alternative to hair transplants or to avoid the daily routine of applying minoxidil or other topical creams. Other benefits of the low-level laser therapy-powered hair cap include:

Discreet cap that can be worn under almost any sports cap, customizable to your personal style
No incisions, injections, or pain
Eliminates the need for daily applications of hair growth products
Short treatments that are easy to fit into your day

Additionally, the laser hair cap can be used in combination with other forms of hair restoration. It can be used in conjunction with hair transplants, topical creams, and more. For some patients, combining treatments can enhance or prolong results.

Recovery Time & Expected Results

There is no recovery time associated with using the laser hair cap as a stand-alone treatment. This simple and easy wearable hair growth stimulator is pain-free and does not involve any downtime. In fact, some patients even wear the cap while they are running errands or during other activities, as it is not disruptive or irritating.

The laser hair cap begins working right away, stimulating hair growth in inactive follicles after the first treatment with low-level laser therapy. New hair growth becomes visible typically in about three months after starting treatment. The laser hair cap is known to enhance hair thickness and vitality, boosting your self-confidence and elevating your overall quality of life.
