This is done in special clinics, with the help of a special device in shape of a helmet (pretty much like the ones ladies use at the hair dresser). The patient is seated under that helmet, which is placed above his scalp, then the light goes on, and all he further has to do is sit there for about 30 minutes. There is no pain in this laser hair treatment, however, a slight tingling sensation and a local warming may occur in the therapy process.

Yet, one should be careful before going for a laser hair treatment for rejuvenation, because of the following aspects:

  1. It is a very long lasting procedure. There are numerous sessions spread over one year interval, so you’ll have to make sure that you can commit into going to the treatment 3-4 times a week, every week, during all this time. This means you can kiss your vacation goodbye, you need to have a job which does not require long travels, and your leisure time will be seriously diminished (especially nowadays, when all cities are extremely crowded, and people waste a lot of time just traveling from one place to the other).
  2. This laser hair treatment is expensive. The costs can vary between $3000 and $5000 for the whole treatment, and many clinics will ask you to pay this in advance, when you start the first session. It is also a very little probability that you’d be able to convince the health insurance companies that this treatment is vital for you, and you want it reimbursed.
  3. The danger of finding somebody who is not a true professional is also present in this case of therapy. Only think what could happen if that laser would go crazy and instead of emitting the healing, low level radiation, it would go for a stronger one and burn your scalp? Make sure you get references about the doctor who’s going to undergo this procedure on your hair. Try to find former or actual patients and ask them what they think. Search the internet, look for discussion forums on health topics, and see if there are other people who did this and if they are pleased with the results.
  4. Beware that the efficacy of the treatment is still disputed and not very well proved with clinical studies. It is true that the laser hair treatment is approved by FDA, but this means it is a safe treatment and not necessarily an efficient one.

If you are not embarrassed by going bald, then maybe it’s better to just ignore all these and spend your money and your time in a more pleasant and constructive manner. Even bald people have their charm, so I really think men are much too worried when it comes to their scalp.

However, if you suffer day after day, minute after minute, hair after hair, seeing how your hairs are leaving you, then it would be better for you to start gathering information about this laser hair treatment which could bring your smile and your peace back again.
