Question:
I have been looking into low-level laser therapy. It seems to have a wide variety of medical uses from hair density to dermatology to sports medicine. I am just starting to thin in my hairline and would like to know if this is a good treatment for me at this time to slow down or stop my hair loss.

Answer:
This is one of a few different types of non-invasive treatments that are available in hair restoration. There are patients who have success when using the low-level laser therapy in situations like yourself where they are just starting to have some thinning in the hairline region.

The laser therapy has been known to increase circulation to the scalp and possibly slow down the progression of the patient’s hair loss.

There are no guarantees that this type of treatment will improve your particular situation. There is the possibility that it could not allow the hair loss to progress and worsen.
