More hair with laser therapy

People who suffer from thinning hair or hair loss can be helped with the so-called soft laser therapy, according to the Amsterdam hairdresser Dianne te Mebel.

The treatment with the soft laser would stimulate the blood circulation in the scalp and thus give the hair follicles an incentive to grow the hair faster. The result is fuller and healthier looking hair. According to Dianne te Mebel, many people will be able to postpone a medical intervention such as a hair transplant or may even find it unnecessary.

How exactly does the soft laser work?
The bundled energy of 60 laser lights penetrates approximately 3 mm into the scalp and gives resting hair follicles an incentive to start growing again. The soft laser not only prevents hair loss, but also ensures that the hair comes out of the hair follicle in a healthier way, says Dianne te Mebel. The therapy requires a long breath:the course lasts at least 12 weeks, the first month twice a week, then once; at a time they sit under the lamp for 30 minutes. Hair therapy is a great success in America, stars such as Tom Cruise use it.

Dianne te Mebel, owner of the sustainable hair salon Haar en Gezondheid, is the first in the Netherlands to offer this therapy. For more information, visit www.instituuthaarengezondheid.nl.
