Until recently, LLLT has been relatively underutilized in North America. Today, however, there is increasing awareness and acceptance of low level laser among practitioners.

International practitioners are realizing the benefits of LLLT more than ever before, while North American consumers are increasingly interested in alternative treatments. The LLLT used in the HairMax LaserComb is non-invasive and without any known side effects.

What Is Low Level Laser ?

Low Level Laser Therapy and, lately, Light Therapy are commonly abbreviated as LLLT. The laser energy produced by the LaserComb is within the accepted level of LLLT. The HairMax LaserComb uses a laser diode operating in the red portion of the visible color spectrum. Laser energy is different from natural light in several ways. It is monochromatic, which means all the energy is essentially one wavelength or color whereas a light bulb produces a broad spectrum of light and energy waves. Laser energy is also collimated which means it is a tight beam of light energy that spreads or diverges only a little at great distances while a light bulb loses its brightness very quickly with distance.

And laser energy is also coherent. All energy consists of waves of energy and in the light bulb these waves are not organized or in sync with each other. The waves of light energy produced by a laser are synched or in phase with each other. These characteristics make laser energy a truly unique form of light energy.

LLLT is used throughout the world and for the energy produced by the HairMax LaserComb there are no reported or known adverse side effects.

High Power Lasers vs. Low Level Lasers

There are two types of lasers: high power and low power. High power lasers are used to cut through tissue and give off heat. Low level lasers on the other hand do not give off heat and use photo energy.

The above is a compilation of posts or updates from the Avodart forum, good and bad. This is not a selective compilation of any particular types of posts in the forum.
