Photobiomodulation Therapy (Low Level Laser Light Therapy)
There is an important fact that you must understand when it comes to treating your hair loss. It is that you have a condition, which is called androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness or female pattern hair loss, may progress over time without appropriate therapy. It’s just the way it is.
A significant cause of thinning hair and baldness is due to miniaturization of the follicles, whereby the long, thick, plentiful hairs that we all love on our heads, over months to years, become shorter, thinner, and less pigmented. It is observed as thinning hair and hairline recession. This is caused by decreased blood flow in the tiny vessels in the scalp that directly feed the follicles with oxygen and other nutrients. The light energy generated by the Auxo A300TM may cause an increase in this blood flow, thereby reversing miniaturization of the follicles from small ones back into large ones.
After 50% of your hair becomes miniaturized is when you even begin to notice your hair is thinning! So, it is critically important that you start treatment once it becomes evident to you.
The Hair Health Institute provides this effective non-surgical treatment modality to patients. When most people think of lasers, they think about lasers that actually destroy tissue like those for hair removal or skin rejuvenation—hot lasers. This, of course, is NOT what we are talking about here!
Not All Hair Lasers Are the Same
Diodes are the light-generating parts of the device that create a beam of energy that reaches into the scalp. For decades, the type of diode that has been used is called a through-hole diode that generates a very fine beam, which penetrates just so far into the scalp skin.
Fast forward to today where an advanced type of diode has been developed that is found only in the Auxo A300TM laser cap device: the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) diode. This technology casts a wider energy beam and one that goes more deeply into the scalp skin where the blood vessels to the follicles reside.
This is clinically important because of laser density. The more closely approximated that the delivery of light energy is, the bigger its impact on positively affecting the scalp’s blood supply to each hair follicle. Given that the Auxo A300TM’s beam is wider with SMT devices, we now have a new therapy benefit to treat hair loss.
Why Should You Use the Auxo A300TM?
- The treatment area of the scalp is larger—going to below the ears laterally and far down into the donor area in the back of your head (great for FUE patients)
- Because the lasers no longer flash or pulse, treatment time is ten minutes each day
- It has a total of 300 SMT diodes—a more reliable and higher dosage than the competition
- It is made as a soft, flexible shell that is lined with medical-grade silicone, which makes it very comfortable to wear
- It is used in the privacy and comfort of your home or while you are traveling
- The battery is small and powerful
- There is a 5-year limited manufacturer’s warranty for the Auxo A300™
- This is the first and only device cleared by the FDA for laser hair regrowth to utilize Surface Mount Diode Technology and for safety and efficacy
Final Thoughts to Consider
- Whether you are a man or woman who is just beginning to experience thinning hair, this device may help you stop its progression.
- If you are a hair transplant patient:
- You know that your transplanted hair will stay long-term; however, you will continue to have further progressive loss of the non-transplanted, native hair around the grafts because these follicles are still subject to genetic hair loss.
- By using the Auxo A300TM post-operatively, you may have less post-op shedding, a larger percentage of your grafts to just begin to grow without first shedding the hairs in the grafts, and potentially earlier regrowth of your transplanted hairs.
