- Utilizes fractional non-ablative Er:YAG laser with 2940 nm wavelength. The 2940 nm wavelength coincides with the maximal absorption in the skin, optimizing the delivery of laser energy for effective hair growth stimulation.
- The laser delivers mild thermal pulses in a non-ablative manner, gently heating the scalp without damaging the outer layers of the skin. This process stimulates dormant hair follicles and triggers growth while preserving the integrity of the skin.
- Safe and comfortable treatment suitable for all scalp types. HAIRestart is a specialized laser hair loss treatment that utilizes these principles for safe and effective results.
Introduction to Hair Loss and Treatment
Hair loss is a widespread issue that affects both men and women, often leading to a decline in self-confidence and emotional well-being. The causes of hair loss are varied, ranging from genetics and hormonal changes to stress and underlying medical conditions. As a result, many individuals seek effective solutions to restore the health and appearance of their hair. Among the available options, non-invasive laser treatments have gained popularity for their ability to stimulate hair follicles and encourage new hair growth without the need for surgery or downtime.
One of the most advanced and effective solutions is the hair growth laser which utilizes a non-ablative Er:YAG laser to target the scalp, activating hair follicles to promote the growth of new, healthy hair. Suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or early stages of hair loss, the hair restart treatment offers a safe and comfortable way to address hair loss and improve hair density. By harnessing the power of laser technology, this treatment provides a promising option for those looking to rejuvenate their hair and regain their confidence.
Hair Growth Process
The process of hair growth is governed by the activity of hair follicles located within the scalp. Each follicle goes through a natural cycle consisting of three main phases: anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). During the anagen phase, hair grows rapidly, contributing to overall hair density and thickness. However, when this cycle is disrupted—due to factors such as genetics, hormonal imbalances, or stress—hair follicles can become dormant, leading to thinning hair and hair loss.
The hair restart treatment is designed to address these challenges by reactivating dormant hair follicles and supporting the natural hair growth cycle. Using a non-invasive laser at the optimal infrared Er:YAG wavelength, the treatment delivers energy that is absorbed with maximal efficiency in the skin. This gentle stimulation enhances blood circulation to the scalp, nourishing the hair follicles and encouraging the growth of new hair. As a result, patients can experience increased hair density, improved hair thickness, and the prevention of further hair loss. By targeting the root causes of hair loss and promoting scalp regeneration, the hair regrowth laser offers a scientifically backed solution for both men and women seeking to restore their hair’s vitality.
What can this treatment achieve?
- Stimulate dormant hair follicles to promote hair growth stimulation and overall scalp regeneration
- Stimulate a new hair cycle for hair regrowth and restoration
- Prevention of further hair loss is a key goal of the hair loss treatment
- Improve blood circulation to the scalp in the treatment to support the health of the hair
- Increase hair density and thickness, which are important outcomes for hair health
Suitable candidates:
- Early signs of hair loss: androgenetic alopecia, female pattern alopecia, traction hair loss
- Temporary hair loss: telogen effluvium
- Thin and brittle hair from heat/chemical damage
This treatment is effective for a variety of hair loss disorders, including those caused by scalp conditions.
Unsuitable candidates:
- Severe hair loss
- Alopecia totalis
- Scarring alopecia
- Hair loss due to psychological disorder
- Hair loss due to medical therapy: chemotherapy, radiation therapy
Contraindications: (if unsure, always check with doctor)
- Pregnancy
- Active scalp infection
- Scalp wound
Interval: 2–4 weeks
Number of sessions: Minimum 6 sessions recommended, more sessions might be needed depending on hair loss severity
Results: Increase in new hair growth, increased hair thickness, and reduction in hair fall can be observed after 2–3 sessions, with further improvement continuing through additional sessions. Consider adding other concurrent hair growth treatments like Microneedling RF stem cell therapy, Hydrafacial Keravive or Derive hair exosomes for better and more lasting results.
Maintenance: 4–6 sessions/year
Downtime: Mild scalp redness for < 1 day; mild scalp itchiness and flakiness for 3–4 days
Complications:
- Scalp infection (rare)
- Burn injury (rare)
Pre-procedure:
- Photo documentation
- Obtain written consent
Post-procedure:
- Avoid heat/chemical hair treatments for 1 week
- Be gentle while washing/combing the hair
