Today, hair regrowth therapy is one of the most popular ways to treat hair loss in both men and
women. If you are battling thinning hair and want to grow your hair back, laser hair therapy
may be the solution. Treatment is quick and easy and can even take place in between trips to
the salon.
Here at Precision M.D. Cosmetic Surgery Center, we use the Capillus Laser Hair Cap to get
your hair growing again.
What Is Laser Hair Therapy?
Men and women lose hair for various reasons: genetics, disease, medications, stress, or the
natural aging process. The average person loses up to 125 hairs per day, and by age 50, many
men and women are aêected by some degree of hair loss.
Laser hair therapy applies natural, red laser light to the scalp to treat thinning hair, hair loss,
and baldness. This low-level laser light therapy (LLLT) helps stimulate the cells of the hair
follicle, allowing your body to produce new, healthy hair.
This non-surgical and non-invasive technology is designed to be both quick and convenient.
For example, laser hair therapy can be used in conjunction with other hair treatment methods,
such as topical vitamins and natural remedies that can help strengthen and prevent future
hair thinning and hair loss. Best of all, it works!
Benefits of laser hair therapy include:
Stimulation of hair regrowth
Reduction of further hair loss
Thicker, fuller hair regrowth
Improvement in the overall health and quality of hair
Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Therapy?
Laser hair therapy is appropriate for men and women of all ages who notice hair thinning or
receding hairlines. Since the procedure is safe with no known side eêects, laser hair therapy
can be used at any stage of hair loss.
What Is the Capillus Laser Hair Cap?
The Capillus laser hair cap is a laser hair therapy designed for quick and convenient use at
home. The system is concealed in a baseball-type cap with a flexible design that goes unnoticed
as you carry out everyday activities, such as working, walking, exercising, driving,
running errands, etc.
The Capillus laser hair cap can be used as a stand-alone thinning hair treatment or, under the
supervision of a physician, can be used as a treatment to complement other forms of thinning
hair treatment, such as over-the-counter or prescription medications like minoxidil (Rogaine®)
or finasteride (Propecia®) and/or hair transplant surgery.

How Is Laser Hair Therapy Performed?
Hair grows in a linear pattern. Laser hair therapy uses laser lights that penetrate the scalp and
interact with the cells. This mechanism awakens hibernating hair follicles and stimulates
cellular metabolism, which is responsible for hair growth.
With LLLT, a specific wavelength of light is absorbed by the scalp and converted into heat
energy. This light therapy improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to the hair follicle, fueling
the natural regrowth of fuller and thicker hair.
Patients have the option of wearing the Capillus laser cap for 30 minutes every other day or
for six minutes per day to achieve laser hair regrowth. This can result in up to a 20 percent
hair volume increase in some cases.
The Capillus laser hair therapy system works best in the initial stages of hair loss, and the
earlier you start this thinning hair treatment, the more likely your chances of success. It is
important to remember that, like with all hair growth treatments, results can vary from
person to person. This is why you should have realistic expectations, as laser hair restoration
via the Capillus system does not represent a “magic bullet” for hair loss/baldness.
There are no messy topical/oral medications to administer. This laser cap is easy to use with
no combing of hair required.
What Is Laser Hair Therapy Recovery Like?
The Capillus laser cap is the only FDA-cleared, FDA registered, and clinically tested at-home
solution for thinning hair. Because this laser cap uses infrared light to stimulate the scalp, this
treatment is non-invasive, non-surgical, pain-free, and without known side eêects.
This makes the recovery process smooth and hassle-free.
What Results Can I Expect From Laser Hair Therapy?
Although results might vary from one patient to another, laser hair therapy normally results
in hair regrowth within three to six months of treatment.
However, individual results might vary.
