Laser Hair Therapy Machines

Low level laser hair therapy (LLLT) is a revolutionary, non-invasive breakthrough for both men and women suffering the devastating effects of hair loss. Laser hair therapy can give you the thicker, fuller and healthier looking hair you want.

Low level laser light, when applied to the scalp, is one of the newest therapies to treat hair loss. Laser therapies for hair restoration are available through hand-held laser devices that may be used at home, or in a medical setting under a physician's supervision. http://hairfoundation.org/hair-library/article-llt.htm

How LLLT Works:
Low level lasers are "soft" lasers, also known as "cold" lasers, and do not have the thermal-component to cut, burn or vaporize.

A Low Level Laser Hair Therapy solution uses a device that contains therapeutic soft low level light lasers which delivers light energy directly to the scalp.

Laser hair therapy was developed in Europe and used for improving hair volume and hair shaft quality that helps to prolonging the life of your hair color and improving hair colors and perms.

Low level laser light is the compressed light of a wavelength from the cold or red part of the light spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Natural light is different in it is one precise color. It travels in a straight line, monochromatic and it concentrates its beam of light in a specific location.

High Power VS. Low Level Lasers: 
High power laser can be used to cut through tissue and they also give off heat. Low level laser on the other hand do not give off heat and use photo energy.

For years the leading hair replacement clinics / salons around the globe have used ‘cold-beam’ laser technology to help people that suffer from different hair conditions. We know that Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) works by increasing the blood flow to the areas of the scalp around the hair follicles. This increase blood flow works to encourage hair volume and in-turn, give you healthier looking hair.

The specific type of laser used for low level laser therapy (LLLT) meet the international safety standards and the legislative specification for “non-significant risk” products, and is classified as a Class IIIA cosmetic laser.

NEW at IHRS! Hair Regenesis Therapy

Many People have been talking about the latest development in hair restoration therapy, HRT - and now it's available at IHRS! Hair Regenesis Therapy is a state of the art, non surgical, totally natural, form of regenerative medicine which uses the patient’s own blood as an injectable treatment for hair loss. HRT utilizes the patient's nutrient rich plasma to stimulate hair growth by injecting it into the scalp. This solution is suitable for both men and women and has proven successful for many patients.

How HRT Works: 
• Nutrient rich plasma is extracted from the patient’s blood. Vital platelets within the plasma contain growth factors that activate and rejuvenate cells in the body.

• The blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma that is enriched with growth factors

• The nutrient rich plasma is then separated and removed from the rest of the blood and placed in a syringe, prepared for procedure

• Anesthesia is applied to the scalp, for a pain free procedure

• Nutrient rich plasma will then be injected into the scalp. And done!

No sedation or any medication is given during the procedure to inhibit the ability to drive or use machinery, unless advised by the patient to do so.

The procedure is so simple you could do it on your lunch break!

The cost of HRT treatment depends on the amount of sessions needed to obtain the desired result. Depending on your level of hair loss, consultants are available to assist you in estimating how many sessions are needed for you.

Results may be noticeable within 90 days, but could take up to a year. HRT can be used alone or safely combined with all other hair therapies such as transplantation, low-level laser therapy and topical and oral treatments.

Advantages of HRT Therapy:
• Simple, non surgical procedure
• Multiple injections:procedure lasting approximately 60-90 minutes
• Safe and reliable results
• Very quick recovery period
• Beautiful and extremely natural looking results! http://www.wellnesskliniek.com/en/hair/prp-treatment-hairloss

IHRS – Testimonials

Nothing says exceptional customer service like great reviews and testimonials from actual clients, so we've decided to share some much appreciated reviews from real clients of IHRS. Keep reading to see how IHRS has helped these clients and can help you in your journey to hair restoration too!

Dear IHRS,
“Thank you, thank you for all your help with my five-year-old son Brian. I cannot believe the difference in his behavior at school since he got his hair replacement. This has made such an improvement in his self-esteem.

I must admit I was hesitant about my search for a solution to his hair loss which was caused by his accident. I was fearful that I would not be able to find a suitable solution to Brian's baldness at such a young age.

As you know, children are cruel. I did not want to risk Brian being in a situation where his hair replacement would come off, especially on the playground.  Also, I could not imagine how anyone could match up the fine texture of his hair.

You had the answers to all my questions and erased any doubts I had about hair replacement systems. You furnished us with a wonderful natural-looking, low-maintenance, secure, and incredibly handsome system.

Again, thank you. I hope that we have given you something back by letting you know how genuinely happy you have made us.”- Kathy S.
(Brian's Mother)

Dear IHRS,
“My scalp would get sun burned easily. Once my friend took a picture of me and I could not believe how thin my hair had gotten. I knew I had to do something about it.
With ReAllusions I can wear any style, any way I want to: long, short, and color too.”
-  Julie, Age 38 

Dear IHRS,
“I remember waking up one morning, looking in the mirror and realizing that my hair was never going to grow back. As a stylist, I wouldn't settle for anything that might look unnatural. That's why I was picky!

Thank goodness I took my time and found you. My life has definitely changed for the better. I can relax on the weekend, enjoy my photography and not worry about people bringing up my hair loss. I would recommend this to anybody with a hair loss problem!” - Paul C., Age 24

Watch Shawn's testimonial below!

We hope that these testimonials showed you that other people have gone through the same devastating effects of hair loss as you but they found the help and support they needed. You’re not alone because IHRS is here for you!

NeoGraft™ Hair Transplantation at IHRS

International Hair Restoration Systems is proud to offer Surgical Hair Restoration as a permanent solution for men with thinning hair. With more than 30 years of experience, IHRS has the best professionals in the field to perform Surgical Hair Transplantation.

At IHRS our approach to hair transplantation for each client is different. We begin by offering a FREE evaluation to accurately determine if you are eligible to undergo the procedure and/or if surgical hair transplantation is the best route for optimum results. Once our hair loss expert determines that you are a candidate for hair transplantation, we customize the procedure based on your age, hair type, health, the degree of hair loss and overall expectations.

During the transplant procedure, the doctor removes hair from the "donor area" of the patient’s head and transplants them into the area of the scalp with loss. The "donor area" consists of hairs genetically pre-determined not to fall out, making them the ideal candidates for transplantation! IHRS's NeoGraft™ Procedure can move four to six times as much hair as the standard approach, using follicular unit grafts throughout, producing a completely natural result. Learn more by visiting Hair4Me.com.

Take the first step by scheduling your FREE hair and scalp analysis to find out if you're a candidate for Surgical Hair Transplantation or one of our other professional hair restoration options! Hair4Me.com

ReAllusions Hair Replacement for Women at IHRS!

REALLUSIONS® HAIR REPLACEMENT FOR WOMEN is the solution to women suffering from thinning hair and hair loss. It is a non-surgical hair replacement technology designed specifically for women that offers a permanent solution to thinning hair.

ReAllusions has proven extremely effective in the treatment of inherited hair loss as well as hair loss due to accidents, systemic disorder, or medical treatments such as chemotherapy. ReAllusions is virtually undetectable and offers a natural appearing front hairline while adding density to the hair.

Now, you must be wondering what exactly this incredible treatment does? Well, ReAllusions uses a new and improved non-invasive skin like membrane implanted to your scalp's own layers of skin. ReAllusions is seamless between your own growing hair and the hair that has been reconstructed and is undetectable to both touch and sight.

Unlike conventional surgical hair restoration, ReAllusions does not require a “donor” area because it is not a surgical procedure and does not use chemicals. The ReAllusions hair system can also be used to provide additional hair to those who have already undergone hair replacement surgery but are still looking for more fullness and density. However, not everyone who suffers from female hair loss is a viable candidate. Possible candidates can only be determined by a free 30-minute evaluation performed at IHRS.

If you have female pattern baldness, alopecia or suffer from burns and scars, then ReAllusions' ability to replace hair in any area of the scalp, and create a totally natural hairline makes the perfect solution to your hair loss.

For more information call (904) 425-5097 or visit www.hair4me.com/ to request your free, no-obligation evaluation. Get the expert advice you’re looking for and start living the life you want with the hair you desire!

Men’s Hair Loss

Over 50 million men suffer from the devastating effects of hair loss in the U.S. alone. While factors such as stress, medications, poor diet, and even lack of sleep can cause men to lose their hair, the largest influence is genetics.

Androgenetic Alopecia, more commonly known as Male Pattern Baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Male pattern baldness is usually caused by increased sensitivity to male sex hormones in certain parts of the scalp and is passed from one family member to the next. This means you inherited hair follicles that suffer from dihydrotestosterone or DHT for short, these hair follicles shrink until the follicles stop producing hair.

According to the American Hair Loss Association, male pattern baldness is responsible for approximately 95% of men’s hair loss. About 25% of men who suffer from male pattern baldness will start to experience hair loss before they reach the age of 21. Nearly two-thirds of American men will experience some form of visible hair loss by the age of 35 and by the age of 50 approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning hair. See the diagram below.

Image

Male pattern baldness is identified by the pattern of hair loss. The typical pattern of male baldness begins at the hairline, and gradually recedes until forming an "M" shape. Eventually the hair becomes finer, shorter, and thinner, creating a u-shaped ring of hair that wraps around the back of the head.

While male pattern baldness is usually diagnosed based on appearance, your hair loss could be caused by many other reasons.

Hair Loss and Breast Cancer

According to statistics:

·        About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.

 

·        For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than any other cancer, besides lung cancer.

·        Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women. Just under 30% of cancers in women are breast cancers.

We are fortunate to have many treatment options available for the complexity of the cells in each individual cancer. Be aware that these treatments do have a side-effect: hair loss.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Why does this happen?

Hair loss can occur as the result of chemotherapy which targets rapidly dividing cells – cancer and healthy. Within a few weeks, a patient may lose some if not all their hair. This also includes hair all over the body. The extent to which hair loss ensues depends on which drugs or other treatments (Radiation or Hormonal) that are used, as well as the longevity of it all. Fortunately, this is temporary and may grow back at a later date.

What can be expected?

The loss of hair often occurs one to three weeks after the start of treatment. It can happen rapidly in clumps or gradually. The accumulation of hair can be observed on your pillowcase, in a brush or comb, and even in the shower. This may continue throughout the treatment and up to a few weeks after.

How it be prevented?

It is not a full guarantee that hair loss will not occur. Nevertheless, the best thing to do is plan for the possibility. Trying to maintain a healthy mind and body after hair loss depends on a person's particular situation, such as the support of friends and family, as well as the attitude of the person.

How to make the best of it?

The best way to deal with the situation is to research what you can do to prepare yourself for possible upcoming events. Sources such as www.mayoclinic.org, ww5.komen.org/, and breastcancer.org are great sites that can assist you in the process of treatment.
