Cool Lasers
Does Cool Laser Therapy work?
The low laser energy therapy is relatively new in the United States. It has been used in Europe for some time. The evidence is anecdotal, but there is no real good objective science to prove value. Everyone wants to believe that it works. Products like the laser comb are available for around $600 and people seem to be willing to invest in such products in the hope that it will work. I have reviewed all of the cursory science from Europe, and possibly there is a suggestion that the increase in hair fullness may be in the order of 10%. If that happens, then it would be good, but the issue is ‘at what cost?’ I am going to participate in a well controlled assessment of this therapy shortly. If the company follows through with the study, it will put numbers to the value of laser treatment so people like you can determine its worth in your approach to hair loss. At this time, I can not endorse it, but I feel that there is no down side to its use except the money you invest.
