Laser Hair Therapy (LHT) is a non-surgical solution for hair loss, thinning hair, or baldness. As well as, other disorders of the scalp such as, dermatitis or over sebaceous glands. For years, LHT has been proven to effectively treat and control problem hair loss for men and women. LHT uses the same principles on hair that sunlight has on plants. It stimulates proteins synthesis in cells to create a healthier, thicker head of hair.

• Restore your own natural hair.
• Increase blood supply to the scalp up to 54%.
• Stops hair loss in 85% of patients.
• Repairs damaged hair shafts, resulting in a 25% increase in volume.
• Reduces excess levels of DHT hormones that contribute to genetic thinning.
• Alleviates scalp irritations, such as dryness, peeling, excessive oiliness, or itchiness.
• Prevents dormant stage in newly transplanted hair follicles.
• Preserves chemical hair color and perms.

The main cause of hair loss can be attributed to the conversion of testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the buildup of oils on the scalp due to overactive sebaceous glands, or vitamin deficiency. The buildup of DHT and oils on the scalp cause hair follicles to shrink and hair to shed prematurely. These traits will make hair much finer and thinner, eventually leading to baldness.

If the follicle is damaged by these known causes, the hair growth cycle is interrupted. Only through professional treatment with Laser Hair Therapy can the follicles be rejuvenated to produce a thick, healthy head of hair. LHT treatments will stimulate blood flow to the follicles allowing it to breakdown the build up of oils and DHT. This transformation will return the follicles to a healthy state and will promote the natural hair life cycle.

The healing power of energy and light…

Studies have shown low-level laser therapy aims to biostimulate. Because of their low power nature, the effects are biochemical, not thermal in turn the do now cause heating, thereby do not damage living tissue. An effect know to occur during the use of low-level laser therapy is growth factor response within cells and tissues. This is due to an increase on ATP and the synthesis of proteins, which improves cell proliferation, and cellular membrane permeability allowing calcium transport to occur.

In clinical studies, low-level light therapy has shown an increase in cellular metabolism therefore increasing the synthesis of proteins. In turn, causing tissue and cartilage regeneration while dramatically increasing blood flow to the target area. This therapy has been implemented throughout Europe, Russia, Israel, and many countries. For over a decade LHT has been chosen as the alternative to hair transplantation or prescription medications, which may cause negative side effects. The laser is classified as an IIIA cosmetic laser, considered safe for cosmetic use by the FDA.

Laser Hair Therapy program has benefited many men and women experiencing hair loss. An analysis of the scalp must first be conducted to determine if an individual is a good candidate for our program. Call today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Melamed Call: 1-88-88-West LA (888-893-7852).

LHT is a low level light laser. The laser therapy unit is the most innovative laser system available in today's market for hair and skin therapy.

Laser therapy, also known as Low Level Light Therapy, Low Reactive Therapy or Photo- biotherapy, is explained in the following manner.

The BHSC Laser system employs cold or soft laser energy. It is not like the lasers used in surgery to burn away or obliterate tissue. It is safe, gentle and effective.

The laser's effects can be explained in the following manner:

The center of an atom is a nucleus. The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. Surrounding the nucleus are electrons, which move in orbit releasing energy. The released energy is known as photons. All life on the planet is dependant on light energy (photons) derived from the sun. The energy is used in a process of photosynthesis to create glucose and oxygen. Photons trigger a multitude of cellular changes called photo-dissimulation.

The true healing power of the Laser treatments is in the controlled direction of the laser light to the parts of the body where and when they are needed. Lasers have the ability to concentrate the flow of photons in a perfect order. The structured photons following the same paths will trigger noticeable changes to the skin and tissues below. Low energy laser is designed to penetrate deep within the tissues without causing heat or damage. This will enhance the body's own innate healing powers.

The laser treatments focus light energy (photons) that normalize damaged tissue by activating enzymes within the body. Enzymes are molecules that speed up the chemical reactions among other substances. It is much like a nutrient to normal healthy tissue while the damaged cells that need help only absorb the photons. The improved blood flow from the light significantly increases the number of red corpuscles that deliver life giving oxygen and nutrients to the hair bulb. This process helps to produce a stronger, faster, healthier growing hair shaft and a healthy scalp overall. Laser Hair Therapy is a cost efficient way to win the battle of Hair Loss with guaranteed, proven results.

Clinical Tests (European Studies)

Nunber of Subjects: 100 Average Age of Subjects: 45
Number of Male Subjects: 80
Number of Female Subjects: 20
All of the subjects presented initially with various forms of alopecia and hairloss.

The following findings are a result of the clinical trials performed by European study groups.

The treatment of the subjects with the LED therapy resulted in a photoreception at the mitochondrial level. Specifically, the radiation was absorbed at the level of the respiratory chain (cytochromes, oxidized cytochromes, dehydogenase flowin) with the consequent activation of the same chain, activating the NAD (Nicotinamide Adanine Nucleutide). At the cellular membrane level, there is an increase in the activity of the enzyme, Na/K aptasis, which activated the flow of Ca+.

The results showed an increase of transduction and amplification of the stimulus in the cellular ambit, with the activation of the cyclical nucleotides which modulate the synthesis of the mRNA and the DNA.

The final photoresponse brought about a bio-stimulating effect on various levels of the cellular metabolism. The exposure to the LED therapy, in short, brought an increase in the cellular metabolism accompanied by and increase of the capillary vascular bed of the radiated area, along with an increase in the supply of oxygen.

Consequently, this metabolic increase resulted in the drastic diminution of hair loss (evidenced by Fig. 1-A below indicating the high percentages in the antagen stage), accompanied by a reactivation of the mitotic activity at the bulb level with an increase of follicular density and relative diminution of the interfollicular spaces.

Scientific explanation and research data

BHC Class I B Laser Recent studies of the sensorial receptor and the chrome strengths have established that light emission can stimulate the sensorial receptor in different ways according to its wavelength. The active stimulus sent forth by the BHC Class I B laser (694 nm) is the result of research and experimentation by experts in photo-electronics, chrome therapy and psychology.

The process of photosynthesis is an excellent example of how light energy can stimulate activity and growth in plant life. Exposure to light results in the bronzing or tanning of the skin. Large multinational companies like GE and Phillips have been spending billions of dollars on the effects of light therapy. The BHC laser system was designed to create a healthier and cleaner environment for the hair and the scalp which not only then permits a more effective product application but also increases the potential for the maturation of the hair.

The product has obtained the necessary approval from European control groups satisfying EEC directives governing electromagnetic and safety compatibility. This product is in compliance with and has met all requirements, for a laser product, set out by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration pursuant to 21 C.F.R. § 1040.

One can understand the applicable principles of infrared through some simple concepts of biophysics, illustrating the photo-biological interaction with the cells. The spectrum of the electromagnetic waves, in operation of the length of the wave, gives rise to the following classifications; radio waves, centimeter waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, nuclear and cosmic radiation.

The living beings live in the compressed spectrum between the infrared and the ultraviolet, with the maximum sensibility around the red color. The cells react to the wavelength of all electromagnetic radiations. Such reactions can be stimulating or harmful according to the power of the radiation.

If you administer radiations with an instrument at a lower power level, said radiations have a bio-stimulating effect. If the radiations are generated at a higher power level, they become isolative.

The infrared radiation penetrates in depth. It transmits without producing great photo-biological effects; if not there where it comes to be absorbed then in the interface between the epidermis and the dermis. The photo-biological bases of therapeutic use of infrared radiation re-engage themselves in a mechanism "fallen" on various structures. There is a photoreception at the microcondrial level. The radiation is absorbed at the level of the respiratory chain (cytochromes, oxidase cytochrome, dehydrogenase flowin …) with the consequent activation of the respiratory chain and further the activation of the NAD.

At the cellular membrane level there is an increase in the activity of the enzyme Na/K, which in turn acts on the flow of Ca+. At this point one has a transduction and an amplification of the stimulus in the ambit cell structure, with the activation of the cyclical nucleotides which modulate the syneresis of the RNA and the DNA. The final photo-response is the bio-stimulation at various levels of the cellular metabolic structure. The biological activation spreads from cell to cell sending chemical transmissions. The infrared light increases the cellular metabolism accompanied by an augmentation of the capillary vascular bed of the radiant vascular zone with an increase also in the supply of oxygen.

Other effects of infrared light at a lower frequency are: a rapid reduction of inflammatory edemas along with a drastic reduction of pain. The infrared light operates at the peripheral nerve fiber level, activating the process of myelinization, optimizing the synaptic function. Infrared light also promotes the process of cicatrization or healing.

At the joint levels, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength and muscle resistance are all quickly recovered along with the normalization of the neuromuscular function. The infrared light has a contemporaneous resolution of traumatic wounds and surgery during rehabilitation.
