Baldness is not just an issue with men. Female pattern baldness affects about 30 million women in the United States each year. And for most women, pattern baldness will affect every aspect of their lives. From emotional anguish to feeling a loss of sensual appeal, women can be greatly affected by balding. But the good news is some women can regain their beautiful “crown of glory” through a procedure called laser therapy for hair growth.

What is Laser Hair Therapy?

Laser hair therapy is a procedure involving a cold laser, which stimulates the scalp to encourage new hair growth. There is no heat so the scalp will not be burned or damaged. Laser therapy for hair growth can help either slow or stop the process of pattern baldness in some women though it is not guaranteed for all.

Laser hair therapy can help restore new hair follicle cell growth as well as improve circulation and the metabolism of cells in the scalp. As the follicle cell growth occurs, the natural hair growth pattern returns and causes new hair to grow.

What About Medical Causes?

Female baldness may be caused by a number of medical conditions, including polycystic ovary syndrome, anemia, thyroid disorders, medications, giving birth, autoimmune disorders, and other conditions. Crash dieting can also cause a loss of hair due to the body’s sudden drastic change in nutrition and vitamins. Some women experience baldness with age.

The key to successful laser therapy for hair loss is to seek medical advice first. Find out if there are underlying medical causes for the pattern baldness. Many laser therapy clinics that specialize in hair growth offer a multi-step program to help men and women grow hair. This may include massage of the scalp, consuming vitamins, change in diet and physical activity, and detoxification.

Promoting Natural Hair Growth

Some laser therapy clinics encourage the use of natural shampoos, which are free of chemicals, that can promote hair loss. Many shampoos on the market contain chemicals that can damage hair follicles and dry out the scalp. Natural hair growth treatment gives the scalp a rest from these chemicals, thus, removing toxins and keeping the hair follicles clean. Removing toxins also helps improve blood circulation in the scalp. With proper nourishment being added to the diet and toxins being removed, the laser therapy treatment can be more effective.

Laser therapy for hair growth is not for everyone, and it’s a decision only you can make. If you feel you are experiencing female pattern baldness, seek professional counsel from a doctor to make sure your baldness isn’t being caused by a serious illness. Then consult with a laser therapy clinic to discuss all your options. Research online to learn more about laser hair therapy and how it can work for you.

Hair is something we take for granted – until we discover that we don’t have as much as we used to. Most people don’t realize, though, that we lose hair everyday. Hair goes through a cycle of growth and rest. After growing and resting, strands of hair fall out, and the growth stage starts over. Most people usually lose about 50 to 100 hairs a day, which is hardly noticeable considering the hundreds of thousands of hairs on a head. But when hair sheds at a faster rate than it grows, the result is thinning hair or baldness. American hair growth centers around the country offer excellent new treatments that show great promise for people frustrated and embarrassed over hair loss.

The gradual thinning of hair is a normal part of the aging process. But there are specific types of hair loss that are not just related to aging. Baldness may be due to heredity, certain medications, or medical conditions. Other causes of baldness include diseases (diabetes and lupus, for example), poor nutrition, stress, chemotherapy or radiation treatments, hormonal imbalances, chemical hair treatments, and scalp infections.

Pattern baldness, in which new hair growth is less vigorous and hair easily falls out, is the most common type of hair loss. It affects about one-third of men and women, and is usually permanent. Temporary hair loss may occur suddenly or gradually and may result in bald patches or overall hair thinning. Bald patches can also occur from hairstyles that pull on the strands of hair, like braids, pigtails, or cornrows.

Baldness can’t be cured, but treatments can help promote new hair growth. Medications and surgical treatments have improved significantly in recent years, but one of the most exciting treatment options is laser therapy. Laser therapy delivers laser light to the scalp, improving circulation and increasing cell growth. High quality laser therapy does not cause inflammation, and results in rapid healing of wounds. Without damaging heat, a cold laser penetrates the scalp but does not harm the skin.

Lasers treatments are often most effective when done as part of a multi-step process. Hair growth and overall health go together; that’s why it’s important to eliminate harmful chemicals and detoxify the scalp. Most popular shampoos contain chemicals. Switching to a natural, nutritional shampoo and conditioner helps keep hair follicles clean and blood circulating. Scalp massage manually removes toxins, restoring the body’s ability to provide nourishment to the scalp. At American hair growth centers, the process of hair restoration includes a regimen of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids to alleviate oily or dry skin and balance hormone levels. Exercise helps reduce stress to the body and increase blood circulation to the hair follicles.

Before deciding on any course of treatment for hair loss, it is important to seek medical advice from a family physician or dermatologist. The cause of the hair loss is a key consideration in the choice of treatments; a physician can help determine the cause. Plus, baldness can result from underlying medical conditions, so it’s important to address health issues as part of an overall treatment plan. All in all, a combination of treatments, including laser therapy, is a sound approach to hair re-growth. Anywhere in the country, from New York to Miami to Los Angeles or Chicago, hair loss can be a thing of the past.

Hair loss contributes to a lack of confidence and has a ‘negative impact on social or job situations’, according to almost half (40 percent) of the 4,500 respondents in a survey conducted by FL. Lexington International.

And like some of the most popular New Year’s Resolutions, such as weight loss and getting a better job, confidence is a major factor in a person’s decision to seek treatment for hair loss.

According to a recent survey, 60 percent of hair loss sufferers would rather have more hair than money or friends.

The majority of men and women do not want to have hair transplant and choose to live with their hair loss for the rest of their lives.  For those people, the solution that they have been waiting for is here. The American Hair Growth Centers has developed a 7-Step process that will regrow 95% of the lost hair in less than 6-months.

“The treatment is very successful, more so at the early stage of hair loss,” said Jacob, a current client of one of the American Hair Growth Centers in Chicago.  Thinning hair, a receding hairline or excess shedding are common precursors to genetic hair loss, and the result of an inherited sensitisation to the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Without any external interference, the follicles could eventually shrivel and cease growing hairs and/or producing new hair.

While hair loss affects roughly 80 percent and 40 percent of men and women, respectively, there are a growing number of Hair Loss Success Stories as a result of the American 7-Step Process developed by American Hair Growth Centers. Those who make it their New Year’s resolution to stop hair loss and restore their hair to its former opulence must be sure to get the best advice and treatment straight up. Why put it off until tomorrow when you can start to regain today?

The American Hair Growth Centers offer free consultations to both men and women concerned about hair loss. Get ahead in the fight against hair loss and contact us now for more information at 847-945-2000, or check out our website for more information atwww.AmericanHairGrowthCenters.com

False. Most experts do not believe that wearing a hat can cause baldness. To cause hair loss, the hat would have to be tight enough to cut off circulation to the scalp. To be on the safe side, if you do wear hats, make sure they are breathable and not tight enough to cause discomfort.

Hair loss is inherited from your mother’s side

Undetermined. I have seen it said that hair loss is hereditarily passed down on the X chromosome, therefore mothers pass down the gene that causes baldness.

Shaving your hair will cause it to grow back thicker

False. This is another widely believed myth, even though it has no scientific backing.

Hanging upside down will stop hair loss

False. The hair loss market has produced some strange products, but one of the strangest is a device that allows the user to hang upside down for long periods of time. The theory is that the increased blood flow to the brain will stimulate hair growth. Don’t try this one at home, there is no evidence of any medical benefit from this therapy. And all that blood rushing to your head can give a pounding headache.

Vitamin Deficiencies cause hair loss

False, in most cases. In developed countries such as the US, vitamin deficiencies are rare. The mineral zinc, however, is believed by some to help stop hair loss. In extreme cases of malnourishment hair loss may result as a side effect of general poor health. This can occur in people with eating disorders, such as Anorexia and Bulimia. Taking a multivitamin is recommended by the American Hair Growth Centers, many physicians and dermatologists, so this is a rather harmless myth.

In 1966, hair combing made noise on both sides of the Atlantic – musical noise to the east, scientific to the west.

In England, the Beatles released a song that said: “Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head”. In America, William C Waggoner and George V Scott of the Colgate-Palmolive Company published a monograph explaining how they had measured, with a fair degree of precision, the sound of a comb being dragged through a hank of hair.

The Beatles never fully explained why they did what they did. Waggoner and Scott, in contrast, took pains to explain themselves. The Waggoner/Scott writing style differs from that of the Beatles’ John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Savour their words:

“In an attempt to investigate characteristics of hair sound and feel as experienced by an individual during the combing process, an electronic comb which measures frequencies generated by tooth-hair interface friction was developed.”

Waggoner and Scott devised a simple method to investigate those characteristics. They wrote about it with typical panache:

“An Ace Waveserra hard rubber comb was affixed to the contact microphone by two small bolts. A third bolt, which had been placed through the comb frame, served as a pressure-adjustable contact bridge between the comb and microphone. In this situation, any sound frequencies received by the comb are carried to the contact microphone via the steel bolt.”

Waggoner and Scott’s biggest discovery, in their view, was that “bleached hair gives much higher raspiness levels than unbleached hair”.

But, like all good scientists, they express healthy scepticism about their own work. “The hair-on-hair versus comb-on-hair noise ratio should be explored,” they urge. “Our assumption that the major noise component is a result of tooth-hair interface friction may be vulnerable.”

Appearing in the Journal of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, under the title Instrumental Method for the Determination of Hair Raspiness, the Wagonner/Scott study indeed proved to be just one step along the path to full understanding of hair sounds.

Seven years later, a report in that same journal both paid tribute to Waggoner and Scott’s hair acoustical work, and surpassed it. Walter Newman, at Johnson & Johnson Research Center, and George Cohen and Cletus Hayes of Bristol-Myers Products, achieved one of hair science’s holy grails. Their study describes “a quantitative and reproducible method of measuring the force required to pull a comb through a tress of hair”.

This in turn led, if only metaphorically, to the publication in 2002 of one of the sublime achievements of modern physics, a study performed by seven Australian scientists under the indisputably lyrical title An Analysis of the Forces Required to Drag Sheep Over Various Surfaces. The authors were awarded the 2003 Ig Nobel prize in physics. Despite the strong objections of the vice-chancellor of the university at which five of them were based, the team accepted the prize, and received much subsequent international acclaim.

Make no mistake about it: hair loss may be brought on by a number of things, including heredity, the onset of diseases, vitamin deficiency, strong medical treatments like chemotherapy, too much hair styling, etc. The person’s overall health and present environmental conditions also affect hair growth, or the lack of. However, the most common reason for hair loss is simply aging. As we grow older and reach that certain milestone in our life, our cells do not regenerate enough to afford us that healthy head of hair we had when we were younger. In fact, this is a problematic area concerning our entire physique. When we age, we tend to develop more wrinkles; we tend to develop more bodily aches; we tend to get sick easier.Good question. The answer lies in the healthful benefits now being discovered with the regular intake of green tea, particularly its ability to raise antioxidant compounds in the blood. Antioxidants are actually protein compounds that help slow down the oxidation process (hence, the name.) Oxidation brings about cell decay, which is necessary for human existence. Old cells must “die” in order for new cells to develop. When we were younger and assumingly at the peak of our health; our cells decay and regenerate almost at the same. This is the reason why we hardly notice or pay them any heed whatsoever.

However, as we grow older, our cell regeneration abilities become slower. Consequently, this shift in balance means that our cells decay at a faster rate. This causes our skins to become more wrinkled or less elastic; our joints more prone to creaking and aches; and our hair to lose both its natural color and more of them end up on the floor than on our heads. We all know the fact that humans shed about 100 hairs a day, right? Unfortunately, when we grow older, our bodies can no longer regenerate enough new cells to compensate for the hair loss.

There are potent compounds found in green tea that contain high levels of antioxidants. These antioxidants are important tools in slowing down cell decay, letting new cells play catch-up by regenerating into new ones. This means that by consuming enough green tea on a daily basis, the process of hair thinning may be slowed down somewhat. Once it does, then new hairs can grow back.

• Use of certain medications, such as blood thinners, antidepressants, oral contraceptives, heart medications, gout treatments or vitamin A.
• A fungal infection of the scalp.
• An underlying disease, such as diabetes or lupus.
