Treating Alopecia with Laser Therapy

Alopecia areata, also known as spot baldness, is a condition in which hair is lost from some or all areas of the body. Often, it results in a few bald spots on the scalp, each about the size of a coin.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease. This means that your immune system mistakenly attacks a part of your body.

When you have alopecia areata, cells in your immune system surround and attack your hair follicles (the part of your body that makes hair). This attack on a hair follicle causes the attached hair to fall out.

The more hair follicles that your immune system attacks, the more hair loss you will have.

It’s important to know that while this attack causes hair loss, the attack rarely destroys the hair follicles. This means that your hair can regrow. The less hair loss you have, the more likely it is that your hair will regrow on its own.

Alopecia Symptoms can be the following :

• Small bald patches on your scalp or other parts of your body.

• Patches may get larger and grow together into a bald spot.

• Hair grows back in one spot and falls out in another.

• You lose a lot of hair over a short time.

• More hair loss in cold weather.

• Fingernails and toenails become red, brittle, and pitted.

Unfortunately, alopecia cannot be cured; however, it’s possible to regrow hair. Luckily, Low-level laser therapy is currently seen as a safe form of light/heat treatment under investigation for a variety of health indications. It has actually demonstrated consistent results in the treatment of this disease. Indeed, it is being used to treat the genetic forms of hair loss common in men and women, androgenetic alopecia or pattern balding.

It is of importance to note, however, that the quality of the laser machine used for such type of treatment should be highly considered as it directly impacts and even augments recovery chances.

In this regard, the Physiotherapy Diode Laser System. SIFLASER-1.41 has often been specialists’ top choice as it proved its high efficacy in treating such an issue.

When hair follicles absorb this machine’s low-level 10W laser light at a certain level, it stimulates hair to grow.

Unlike many other treatments that mask pain or only address the symptoms of disease, Laser Therapy treats the underlying condition or pathology to promote healing. This means that alopecia treatment is indeed effective and the benefits of Laser Therapy are long-lasting.

It occurs in men and women of all races equally. The condition can develop at any age, although most people develop alopecia areata for the first time before the age of 30. Alopecia areata is not life-threatening and does not cause physical pain. However, the psychosocial effects of hair loss can be devastating.

 Luckily, Laser therapy has been developed to provide accurate therapeutic services for this specific issue. Accordingly, alopecia patients can get reassured and less sensitive and worried as long as SIFLASER-1.41 is specifically designed to provide them with the needed treatment that will effectively restore their confidence, self-esteem and so life comfort.
