Laser Comb Power Grow Comb
The use of laser to activate hair growth began in the last century. In the late 90s, scientists discovered that its cold light can be absorbed by skin cells, increasing their metabolism and protein synthesis. Of course, he is not able to resurrect dead follicles. But each person has a reserve - about 100 thousand "sleeping" hair follicles, which can be "awakened" if desired. This problem is precisely solved by low-intensity laser radiation.
In addition, the laser provides activation of the growth of existing hair, improves their structure and appearance, and prevents hair loss. Curls become shiny, more elastic, sebum secretion of the skin normalizes, dandruff disappears.
After a course of irradiation, the hair becomes unusually strong and increases in diameter by 40-60%.
The "magic of hair growth" lies in the energy effect on:
- melanin, which is concentrated in the hair follicles;
- hemoglobin - in blood vessels;
- dermis water (scalp) and epidermis.
Trichologists work with low-power laser devices, photo-biotherapy is offered in beauty parlors. Today, affordable devices for individual use have already appeared, which include the Power Grow Comb laser comb.
Who can help
A laser comb is nothing more than a miniature copy of professional treatment and prevention devices, although it looks like an ordinary hair brush. The degree of influence of Power Grow Comb is somewhat less than that of professional counterparts, but the price is democratic and you can carry out procedures at any convenient time.
Recommended for weak and dull hair prone to falling out. A laser comb works well as a restorative agent after cosmetic procedures: bleaching, repeated coloring, highlighting, perm. Successfully used after hair transplantation: to accelerate healing and activate growth. An excellent preventive measure against baldness.
The Power Grow Comb laser comb can be used by people with androgenetic or hereditary alopecia. Laser exposure can reduce the rate of negative processes.
The comb is not entirely effective in the formation of large bald patches in men, but it easily copes with diffuse thinning of hair in women, when the follicles enter the resting phase, “fall asleep”, and the hair shafts become brittle. This type of dropout is usually caused by:
- past infectious disease and long-term medication;
- prolonged low-protein diets;
- a sharp decrease in the body of important elements or vitamins: iron, zinc, selenium, vitamin A;
- stress, overexertion;
- hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause, etc.
Medicines and the frequency of sessions in these cases are determined only by the doctor.
Contraindications
The intensity of the laser used in cosmetology is much lower than when used in surgery or cauterization, so it cannot harm a person.
It is comparable to the strength of the Sun's radiation on a fine day, which is why such laser light is called low-intensity. However, the consequences of prolonged exposure are not yet known, so it is not worth the risk of exceeding the recommended time for preventive measures and treatment. There are a number of contraindications.
Forbidden to use:
- with cancerous and severe forms of chronic diseases;
- with active inflammatory processes, high temperature;
- hemophilia;
- paralysis of the facial nerve;
- dermatitis of various etiologies;
- with sunburn;
- with open wounds, scratches, abscesses, inflammations on the surface of the head;
- during pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- children under 12 years old.
Appearance and filling
Power Grow Comb in non-working condition is used as a regular comb for hair care. Lightweight, comfortable shape, modern design and materials. No one will guess about its secret purpose. Only the control system, which is located on the side of the case, gives out an innovative essence.
Filling - laser diodes with different wavelengths: 7 red and 7 blue. Runs on four AAA batteries that are included. The comb attachment is removable, designed for medium length or long strands. Its installation is very simple, no effort is required. Switching the slider achieves a different degree of impact during home procedures. Light radiation evenly penetrates the irradiated area of the scalp, which guarantees optimal dosage.
There are four modes of operation:
- blue LED radiation with a wavelength of 470 nm - affects only the upper layers of the skin: it increases blood microcirculation, thereby providing nutrition and normalizing the structural state of the hair shafts;
- red LED radiation with a wavelength of 660 nm - provides deep penetration, covering completely the roots of the follicles. Blood circulation almost doubles, the growth of already existing strands is activated and the “sleeping” bulbs inevitably awaken;
- a stream of low-intensity laser radiation - promotes the regeneration of the dermis and epidermis, increases cell metabolism, supplies nutrition to the hair roots, helps the follicles grow stronger, which stops hair loss;
- biostimulating micromassage - vibration increases blood supply in capillaries, promotes the supply of nutrients to the skin and hair follicles.
How does it work
Manufacturers recommend using a laser comb three to five times a week. Hair and scalp should be clean and dry. The total session time per day is 10-15 minutes.
Increasing the exposure time is not associated with achieving a greater effect, so do not waste your energy.
Impact on one point should not exceed 4 seconds, movement - slow movements against hair growth 1 cm from the previous position. The optimal direction is from the forehead to the crown of the head, after - from the temples up and from the crown to the back of the head. In the zone of active hair growth, it is better to make partings in order to provide better irradiation.
Particular attention during the procedures should be paid to the most problematic areas, massaging and irradiating them a little more than the rest. In areas where there is no hairline, it is better not to use a toothed nozzle.
When using a laser comb, shampoos that do not contain sodium sulfate should be selected for washing your hair. Refrain from products that block the production of hormones, avoid activities that lead to hair loss. There are no other special requirements. Everything is very simple. The course of treatment is at least one month. Optimally - during the year. They start with three to five procedures per week, after the start of active hair growth, they reduce to one session per month.
results
The effectiveness of treatment depends on many reasons: the degree of damage, hereditary predisposition, stress, the use of drugs, age, and much more. The smallest chances are people whose bald patches are more than 10 years old. The blood flow in such areas is disturbed and the follicles are not able to revive. Owners of hair who thinned less than three years ago have a good chance of success: the skin has not lost the ability to absorb laser energy and the microcirculation in the affected areas has not yet disappeared.
Based on customer feedback, the greatest progress is made with minor problems with hair loss, usually after stress, and in the absence of serious general diseases. A pleasant transformation for them occurs after 4 or 5 exposures. In such a situation, a course of only 10-15 procedures will suffice.
The results of the comb can be viewed here.
With the methodical implementation of all recommendations, the first results in most people with moderate problems of strands and scalp will appear in one to two months. Tangible changes - after 6 weeks. By this time, hair loss should stop or significantly slow down. According to the results of studies, more than 90% of all subjects reached this indicator.New hairs should be expected no earlier than 8-10 weeks after the start of Power Grow Comb. During this period, the existing curls will grow faster, acquire shine, thicken, become more elastic.
Overgrowth of open areas with fluff, according to average indicators, begins after six months of procedures. For dense coverage and acquisition of strength, density and average thickness of the rod by new hairs, it will take from eight months to a year. Sometimes a weakened body needs more time to awaken its hidden reserves. Experts warn that laser therapy does not provide a permanent result and requires regular maintenance of the stimulation of the hair follicles.
It is very important during the period of using a laser comb to consolidate the successes with additional nutrition of the skin and curls. After the procedures, it is always easily digested and beneficial. It can be oils, mousses, rich in vitamins and minerals, all kinds of masks, rinses, sprays.
It is necessary to objectively evaluate the initial data and not rely solely on an innovative device. Do not forget about a healthy lifestyle, diet, walking in the fresh air, comfortable and good sleep, which is no less important for hair growth.
