How does laser light stimulate hair growth?

Nobody knows for sure. But there are several different theories about why it works. Here's what's been suggested.

Theory One - laser light flushes out the chemical that makes you bald

The chemical in the bloodstream that makes you bald is called dihydrotestosterone (or DHT). This builds up in the hair follicles and causes baldness. (This is known - it's not a theory)

One theory of why lasers work so well is that they may be stimulating blood flow around the hair follicle, flushing out the DHT, thus letting the hair regrow.

While this may be part of the reason, it is not a complete answer. Lasers actually stimulate the hair to grow faster, even when just shaved. Shaving has nothing to do with DHT - and lasers still work.

In fact, the effect that lasers have on hair growth was discovered completely by accident.

It was in 1967, shortly after the first lasers were invented, that Endre Mester in Semmelweis University was doing experiments with lasers on skin cancer. He noticed that when applying lasers to the backs of shaven mice, the shaved hair grew back faster in those mice in the treated group versus the untreated group.

Since then, numerous experiments have shown that a certain exact wavelength of laser light - 650 nm (nanometers) - is most effective in stimulating hair to regrow. This is the laser we use in all Lasermax products.

This simple observation sparked an entire industry, and gave people with thinning hair the first chance at a real solution. The laser light regrows a person's own natural hair, right where it belongs. No dangerous drugs or surgery.

Theory Two - Laser light grows hair by transferring energy into the hair follicle

This theory says that the laser energy is simply absorbed by the hair follicle, and this stimulates the hair growth. Basically it says you're absorbing light energy into the scalp, thus causing the hair to grow.

It's thought to be similar to a plant growing by absorbing sunlight. We're not sure that this is the case, but it sure sounds good.

However it works, we just know one thing for sure - IT DOES WORK.

(Scientists have never figured out exactly how glue works at an atomic level either. This doesn't stop a stamp from sticking to an envelope.)

Don't worry if nobody knows why it works, just relax and let it do its job. The results are guaranteed so you have nothing to lose.

Laser light penetrates deep

While you are sitting in an ordinary room with usual light, the light is reaching maybe one sixteenth of an inch into your skin.

This is a picture showing ONE of our powerful lasers - held about an inch from a finger.

This ONE laser penetrates the entire finger, the same way a flashlight would.

One laser is capable of completely surrounding every hair follicle with healing laser light for a radius of about an inch. The light goes past the follicle into the blood vessels underneath, reaching as deep as possible.

With any overhead Lasermax system you have AT LEAST FIFTY of these powerful lasers reaching deep into your scalp the entire time you use it.

There's no way you can go wrong. You do not have to worry about underpowered handhelds.

More lasers = faster results. Each powerful laser penetrates deep for maximum results.

You can relax knowing that you are getting the most powerful home laser system on the market today.
