HairMax LaserComb: An Effective Male Hair Loss Treatment
Hair loss is a universal problem that affects millions of people throughout the world. Though hair loss is associated with the physical appearance, it can cause psychological issues with both men and women especially when they are at young age. Male pattern baldness is one of the common forms of hair loss in men of all ages throughout the world. It is estimated that about 95% of all baldness cases in men are due to male pattern baldness.
Hair loss causes: An old belief
Hair loss has always been associated with aging. As men and women age, the body encounters many profound hormonal changes. These changes can substantially affect the normal hair-growth cycle, which can in turn lead to baldness. However, ageing is not the only common cause behind male and female hair loss. This old belief has been negated by the fact that young men in their 20s and 30s are now experiencing hair loss. This has also led to a thorough study of the root cause of hair loss in men.
What can cause male pattern baldness?
A man’s personal habits, lifestyle and diet play a crucial role in male pattern baldness for a huge number of men. However, hormones are considered to be the major cause behind this pattern of hair loss in men.
Hair follicles are tiny structures from which hairs grow in the scalp. In a normal hair growth cycle, a hair strand grows for a period of three years from each follicle. Over time, it sheds and a new hair strand grows in its place. Testosterone gets converted into another hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme. In some men, due to overproduction of DHT, the hair follicles develop sensitivity to this hormone and tend to shrink in sizes. They reduce in size to such an extent that they are not able to hold hairs and even grow new hairs. This leads to thinning of hair at the temple and crown of the head. As a result, bald patches appear on the scalp. A receding hairline on the cross sides of the forehead with these bald patches to form a typical ‘U’ or ‘M’ pattern of hair.
HairMax LaserComb: A unique approach to hair loss treatment
Apart from hormonal imbalance, poor nutrition to the hair follicles can also initiate hair loss in both men and women at an early age. The HairMax LaserComb is a handheld device that is designed to rejuvenate hair follicles and encourage hair growth by using photo-bio stimulation. A low-level laser beam emitted by the HairMax Comb to the scalp region stimulates the cells to make them active. The circulation of the blood to the hair follicles improves due to the increased activity of the hair cells. This helps in proper distribution of oxygen and nutrition to the follicles.
The HairMax LaserComb is a portable and rechargeable device that needs to be used three times per week. It should be glided through the hair for 10-15 minutes in each sitting. To view any noticeable results, this laser comb should be used for at least 12 weeks. This device has been approved by FDA to be used by both men and women to prevent hair loss and boost hair re-growth. The laser light of this device causes proliferation of cell growth in the hair follicles. The HairMax LaserComb Advanced 7 is the original version of this device and has been clinically tested for the treatment of androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).
