Laser Phototherapy (LLLT)
The laser therapy or laser phototherapy technique has been used in Europe for over thirty years. Today, we can notice an increasing awareness and acceptance of Low Level Laser Therapy among practitioners all around the world and consumers are increasingly interested in this alternative treatment.

ATP and Laser Light Stimulation
Studies using specific wavelengths of certain lasers show increased activity in cell and bacterial cultures, probably the result of ATP production.
The Androhair laser comb provides stimulating laser energy in what we believe is a two side approach to energize the weakened follicle, the hypothesis behind the Androhair's success combines increased vascularization and an increase in cellular metabolism. Laser energy has been demonstrated to increase the circulation of blood flow in the scalp. This increase in blood flow is crucial to promote a healthy hair follicle.
The increase in blood flow brings the important nutrients into the follicle, while taking away harmful waste products used daily in personal care products such as DHT. The increase in ATP increases cellular metabolism and cellular activity. The hair follicle now has the building blocks and energy to transform from a weakened follicle to one that is healthy and capable of producing beautiful, thick healthy hair. The enhanced environment then in turn invigorates the hair follicle which produces healthier hair, prevents further hair loss and stimulates the re-growth.
The Laser Comb Growing Cycle
The Androhair LaserComb works by stimulating the natural hair growing cycle. One cycle can be broken down into three phases.
1 - Anagen - Growing Phase
2 - Catagen - Transitional Phase
3 - Telogen - Resting Phase
Each hair passes through the phases independent of neighboring hairs.
The objective of Laser Phototherapy for hair, as delivered through the Androhair laser comb, can be summarized through the following descriptions:
A. Growing hair from a live root.
Androhair provides energy for a healthy growth.
In the "Growing Phase" or "Anagen Phase", each hair grows approximately half an inch (1 cm) a month for a period of 2 to 8 years. The Androhair LaserComb helps by providing energy to the hair growth process and producing healthier and fuller hair.
B. Weakened root with a thin hair.
The laser comb stimulates the growth of a healthier and thicker hair.
Termed "Vellus Hair" (light colored, short, fine "peach fuzz´s hairs), Androhair LaserComb helps these fine hairs by stimulating them to grow into thicker and more mature hair.
C. Live root in resting or renovating phase.
Androhair stimulates the root for a new growing cycle.
In the "Resting Phase" or "Telogen Phase", the hair stops growing and rests for 2 to 4 months and eventually falls out. The Androhair laser comb helps by stimulating re-growth of new hair.
The hair´s life cycle continues until the root dies, at that moment there is nothing else to do but take care of what we have left of our hair.
