Effect of female pattern hair loss 'low power laser' treatment
Hair loss is often thought to be exclusive to men, but women are not free from the fear of hair loss. Many women find that their hair is thinning overall and the hair loss has progressed noticeably on the top of the head, but when they go to important meetings, they take out a wig with a 'someone else will find out' part of it. do.
Androgenetic alopecia, also known as baldness, occurring in women is called female pattern alopecia, and the hair follicles are miniaturized under the influence of male hormones and the hair gradually becomes thinner. Unlike men, where hair loss begins when the hairline draws an M-shape, in the case of women, hair thins around the crown while maintaining the frontal hairline. However, the cause of this was not known. In particular, it is known that the decrease in female hormones and the increase in male hormones have a lot of influence as it tends to worsen after menopause.
The treatment of female pattern hair loss is first used by drug application and oral medication, but the effect is somewhat lower than that of men. Alpha triol and minoxidil, similar to female hormones, are used for topical drugs, but the drug itself is less effective than oral drugs. Various anti-androgens or 5-alpha reductase inhibitors can be used as oral preparations, but they cannot be used conveniently for women of childbearing age because they can affect the fetus.
Hair transplantation can also be performed, but men mainly have a receding hairline, and due to the effect of overlapping after transplantation, a rich look can be seen with a small number of transplants. There is less overlapping effect compared to
A new treatment method that gives hope to such a situation where satisfactory treatment is lacking has recently been introduced. That's low-power laser therapy. It is a medical device that was first introduced under the name of 'Hair Thickner' in Time magazine in 2000. .
A few years ago, I conducted a clinical trial for the first product in Korea as a lead researcher, and as a result, I created a new item called 'Medical Laser Irradiator for Hair Loss Treatment' and registered it as the first product in Korea. This study was the first study to verify the effect through scientific comparative research in the world, and it was honored to be listed in the SCI-level thesis for the first time as a hair loss treatment laser in the world.
I recently conducted a clinical study on actual patients in collaboration with LG Electronics and obtained approval for the device.
Lastly, I would like to add a word about laser for hair loss treatment. Before purchasing a product, be sure to conduct a clinical test properly to confirm that it is a medical device with confirmed clinical effects.
