Hair Loss Combs, Do They Actually Work?

Thousands of people suffer from hair loss each year. For some, the hair is simply thinning because of age, while others will notice bald patches on the crown or receding hair so the forehead appears larger. This can be very upsetting but there are treatments available such as hair-loss laser hair combs.

These use low-level laser beams on the scalp to stimulate growth so that you will see thicker hair. They work for just about everyone and have no side effects. This ensures that they are also suitable for people who may have had an adverse reaction to lotions that you massage into the scalp. The power level is merely a vibration so is harmless but effective although some people notice a tingling feeling. These laser combs have been used by salons and hair clinics for many years and other low-level laser treatments have been employed by scientists and doctors for some time.

Laser hair combs work on the entire scalp and can be used with other treatments, such as lotions, although it they are best used in isolation.
