FAQ � Androhair Uses Laser Phototherapy For Male Hair Loss - How Does it Work


There are many solutions that can lead to hair recovering such as laser phototherapy that one product the Androhair uses. This article explains the theory behind laser phototherapy.


Hair loss for a man can be the cause of low self-esteem and can lead to depression. The process can unfortunately start as early as the late teen years, however the majority of men it happens in their late 20's early 30's. The usual sign is thinning at the crown and temples first followed by wider hair loss of the scalp thus being more visible. There are many reasons why this happens.


Male baldness is often hereditary and passed down through the generations. The hair is usually lost at the temple and crowns because of an excess of a chemical called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT which leads to thinner hair follicles and thus leads to thinner hair.


The other main causes of hair loss can include:-


1. Iron-deficiency (anaemia)

2. Under active thyroid

3. Fungal scalp infection

4. Some medicines

5. Stress


If you believe that you male hair loss maybe caused by this then I would suggest consulting you doctor who may advise treatment to rectify the matter or at least stop more hair loss.


For example if you have anaemia then a doctor may suggest a change in diet and offer medicine to counter the problem of lack of iron in the blood. Please note that anaemia is can lead to loss of memory as well.


Can I stop it?

If however on consulting your doctor you find that it isn't a medical condition that you suffer from then a wig or hair transplant are the most direct forms of treatment


A wig though isn't most men's idea of a solution. There are then certain treatments that can be used and one is laser phototherapy. Laser phototherapy uses a laser diode operating in the red portion of the visible colour spectrum. Laser energy is also collimated which means it is a tight beam of light energy that spreads or diverges only a little at great distances while a light bulb loses its brightness very quickly with distance.


Studies using specific wavelengths of certain lasers show increased activity in cell and bacterial cultures, probably the result of ATP production. In simpler terms the laser phototherapy stimulates the weakened follicles and combined with increased vascularization leads to greater cellular metabolism. In other words it increases the blood flow to the scalp thus leading to healthy hair follicles allowing thicker hair growth.


Laser phototherapy has also shown to take away the harmful DHT chemical that causes the hair loss in the first place. It two part process allows the scalp to naturally recover and promote healthier and thicker growth. Laser photo therapy invigorates the scalp and can provide an answer to the male hair loss question.
