Oxygen Laser Therapy, also known as “cool laser” therapy, is a method used to treat androgenic alopecia (hair loss) by harnessing the phototherapeutic effect. It involves the use of a laser beam with a noninvasive wavelength consisting of 100 percent oxygen. This innovative treatment is considered safe and effective for addressing issues such as hair thinning, hair loss, and scalp-related concerns.
The therapy utilizes a diode laser beam with a wavelength of 655 nm2, which stimulates the metabolism of tissue cells in the hair roots. Optimizing this process, it promotes healthy hair growth. Additionally, it converts adenosine triphosphate (ATP) tissues to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), releasing energy and increasing cell metabolism. This results in reduced hair fall and contraction of the scalp pores. Moreover, the therapy aids in the repair and replenishment of scalp cells.
Research suggests that oxygen laser hair treatment encourages hair follicles to enter an active growth cycle known as anagen, leading to the development of stronger and healthier hair.
During the procedure, laser plates are placed on the scalp, allowing the infrared laser to penetrate the scalp’s skin. This “cold beam technology” mildly heats the skin, dilating the capillary vessels and stimulating blood circulation. Improved blood flow brings essential nutrients to nourish the hair strands more effectively. The therapy also opens up the pores, increasing oxygen intake. Oxygen laser therapy is considered effective in cases of moderate hair loss, particularly when hair loss begins in stage 2.
It’s important to note that while oxygen laser therapy may be a promising treatment option, individual results can vary. Consulting with a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist is recommended to determine the most suitable treatment approach for hair loss concerns.
