Your Age Could Be Causing Your Hair Loss

As we age, it is common to start noticing a lot of changes that occur within our body. Our senses and faculties decline along with the undesirable physical changes that begin to take place. Hair loss is one of the changes that both men and women may experience.

If you notice that your hair is thinning gradually, you may consider it as one of the physical changes that occur with ageing. Finding out why this occurs with age and how to prevent such problems can help you fight hair loss as you grow older. Although this problem is especially prominent in ageing men, women also suffer from it.

Both men and women tend to lose hair thickness as they age. Most women in their fifties also tend to shed more hair than their male counterparts. For women, the loss of hair can be actively progressing after menopause when there is a drop in the level of oestrogen. This is attributed to the fact that oestrogen counteracts the activity of androgen hormones. Without oestrogen, androgens are free to act on hair follicles and cause the latter to miniaturize.

Hormones and Male Hair Loss: The Truth Unveiled


Contrary to popular belief, most men who suffer from hair loss are saddened with their situation and would do anything to reverse the condition.

Like women, men who are experiencing hair loss fear rejection and are afraid to become society’s outcast. Indeed, hair loss affects every aspect of a man’s life. It affects their social relationships as well as their professional and personal lives.

All men will face hair loss problems any time of their lives. Some will have to face it earlier than others. The genes from the parents have so much to do with the onset of baldness especially at an early age.

When men reach their twenties or thirties, they will begin to notice thinning hair or early onslaught of hair loss. This premature hair loss is usually inherited. It means that someone on the mother’s or father’s side of the family has a history of hair loss. When your parents are genetically predisposed to hair loss, then you have a greater chance of experiencing this condition.

Male pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss in men. It is due to the amplified sensitivity to the male sex hormones known as androgens in certain areas of the scalp. The hormones make the hair follicles shrink. Eventually, when they become so small, they cannot sustain healthier hair growth, hence creating thinner and finer hair strands. Other times, the hair follicles become dormant that they can no longer generate new hair growth.

Laser Comb: The Power of Light for Hair Loss

The healing power of Light has been well known for hundreds of years, from the earlier days of the Ancient Egypt to the Great empires of Rome and Greece. They all have recognized the power and the essence of light.

Light is the highest form of energy and we are all subject to its glory. For many years, great minds and scientist alike tried to understand more about the nature of light and its positive effects on the body.  They have been able to develop techniques and devices that use light as part of the healing process.

Today, their efforts have finally borne fruit. With the use of light healing, diseases and ailments were treated. Just recently, Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is gaining popularity in the field of hair loss restoration.

LLLT is a revolutionary, non-surgical hair loss treatment for both men and women suffering from the devastating effects of hair loss.  With LLLT in the form of the new laser comb, you can achieve thicker, fuller, shinier, and healthier looking hair.

A laser comb is an electric hair comb that uses laser light therapy to stimulate healthy hair regrowth. This hair loss treatment device can also help treat male and female pattern baldness

Laser Comb and Its Treatment Modality

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a globally accepted name for biostimulation with low energy lasers in order to achieve therapeutic desired effects. Traditionally, LLLT falls under the realm of physical medicine, which uses stimulation therapy to activate the body’s natural defense mechanisms. When LLLT is the stimulus, the treatment modality is known as photobiostimulation.

LLLT has been indicated in physical or manual medicine, sports medicine, dermatology and neuroendocrine disorders in human and animal patients. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of LLLT, as well as its effect on collagen formation, are good indications for LLLT in surgery and dentistry, especially after major operations.

Laser Hair Therapy (LHT) through the low level laser of a laser comb is a non-surgical, scientific approach in the treatment of hair loss, thinning hair, and scalp problems. The goal of LLLT in a laser comb is to increase the circulation of the blood to the follicle area and to stimulate the hair organs (nerves, muscles and growth centers of the follicle). LHT has been medically tested for effectiveness and safety and is FDA-approved.

Laser Comb The Modern Method of Hair Treatment

For hundreds and hundreds of years, we are in the hunt to find the best possible treatment for hair loss. Our forefathers have tried lots of ways to overcome this condition. They’ve tried using potions, lotions, incantations and charms thinking that these would cure the ever-growing hair loss dilemma, but in vain. Fortunately for us, the 21st century offers the best and most advanced treatments for hair loss.

Although we haven’t found the “cure” for hair loss, we should be thankful enough to have found ways on how to stop or cease this phenomenon and we are technically advanced enough to prevent hair loss from further recurring. Some medical treatments can even help stimulate hair growth, among them is the laser comb.

From early days, light has been used to heal a variety of mental and physical ailments.  Today, light is used in a more advanced way. Say for instance, it provides modern therapists with a powerful tool that targets specific conditions and delivers highly controlled light therapy to affected areas of the body in the form of the laser comb.

The laser comb is an electric comb that uses laser light therapy to stimulate healthy hair regrowth.  It works by emitting a low level laser that stimulates the cells in the scalp and hair follicles. Just as plants respond to light, which helps them to grow and thrive, our hair will respond to the low laser light’s phototherapy by growing stronger, thicker, fuller and healthier.

Phototherapy Using a Laser Comb


In the medical world, the use of lasers has long claimed its novelty. Lasers have been in use for medical purposes for many years and its uses range from surgery using high-powered lasers to stimulation of tissue repair. A newer application of laser technology is the use of laser light for treatment of hereditary hair loss.

Laser light generated by low-powered lasers has recently come into use as a non-surgical hair restoration treatment for pattern hair loss. In fact, hand-held “comb”, “brush” or “cap” laser devices are marketed for use at home. Larger “hood” or “cap” devices are used in hair restoration clinics only.

The cold lasers used for treatment of androgenetic alopecia deliver what is called low-level laser therapy (LLLT). The LLLT lasers are considered cold lasers because their light is absorbed by target tissue but does not heat the target tissue as occurs with lasers used to cut and remodel tissues. A laser comb uses LLLT. It has been providing people with a legitimate solution to hair loss and hair thinning problems. Laser and light emitting diodes (LED) are the most frequently used light sources in hair restoration treatment.
