At the Gabel Hair Restoration Center, we are pleased to offer our Portland patients the newest, safest, and most advanced hair loss treatment options. In addition to hair restoration surgery, our patients have access to leading non-surgical hair restoration solutions like low-level laser therapy (LLLT). We are excited to offer LLLT treatment with the LaserCap, a portable laser cap that can be used in the convenience of your own home.
What is the LaserCap?
The LaserCap is a low-level prescription-strength laser therapy cap designed to stop hair loss and help regrow hair. The device works well for male and female pattern hair loss who suffer and those with androgenic alopecia and thinning hair. The product is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to promote hair regrowth. The LaserCap offers a higher dose of light energy per treatment than all the other popular laser therapy hair regrowth devices available today.
How Does Low-Level Laser Therapy work to treat hair loss?
LaserCap laser therapy reactivates inactive hair follicles using LLLT. Monochromatic red laser light is absorbed by specialized cells deep within the hair follicle, starting up and energizing cell respiration and kickstarting natural hair growth. From there, the follicles are reawakened and produce thicker and healthier hair.
LASERCAP LASER THERAPY: Easy, Safe, and Effective
Watch the video below as Dr. Gabel explains how hair lasers like the LaserCap are helping men and women reclaim a youthful head of hair.
“I recommend low light laser therapy — specifically the LaserCap system — because it is very easy to use, it’s safe for patients, and it has been shown to be effective for the treatment of hair loss. Many patients that we have treated have been very happy with the results of using this system.
Why LASERCAP LASER THERAPY?
Patients often ask “Why choose the LaserCap system over other laser caps and laser combs? Does laser hair therapy work?” Dr. Gabel explains:
“There are all sorts of devices out there for low light laser therapy. I feel LaserCap is one of the better units because it has so many individual lasers. What the studies have shown is that you have to have a certain amount of energy delivered to the scalp. It is this energy from the lasers that makes it so effective. Since the LaserCap unit has over 80 laser diodes, it’s able to deliver that amount of energy to all the areas of the scalp that have hair, which eventually translates into a thicker result [head of hair].”
Do I Need a Physician for LLLT with LaserCap?
Products like the FDA-cleared LaserCap hair growth laser are designed to be used at home and on the go, but it is important to consult a hair loss professional prior to beginning use. There are many reasons why LLLT treatment should always be guided by an experienced hair restoration surgeon, including the following:
- Treatment will begin with a personalized hair loss diagnosis and restoration recommendation. When visiting a physician, each patient receives a personalized evaluation and treatment plan to ensure individual needs and expectations are met. Treatment with LaserCap is flexible and convenient, usually consisting of 30-minute sessions a few times each week.
- Physicians can help you verify the FDA clearance of your product. Although many products online claim to be “cleared by the FDA,” few actually live up to that promise. Physicians can help verify the clearance of your laser cap. They can provide information on the manufacturer and 501(k) clearance number assigned by the FDA. This ensures both safety and efficacy long before treatment begins. Not all laser caps are created equally. Patients are cautioned against purchasing any laser helmet or comb online, without the guidance of a medical professional.
