What causes excessive hair loss?
A number of things can cause excessive hair loss. Excessive DHT in the body, stress as a result of relationship break ups, also stress as a result of loss of a loved one, a major surgery or for women's high hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy can cause hair loss. Stress related hair loss is temporary, you can treat it with laser Bio -stimulation treatments or with time after a long time the hair will grow back. DHT related hair loss chokes the hair follicle, starts a miniaturization process making the hair thinner and thinner until it becomes fuzz hair and later the hair roots will vanish. Also thinner veins around the scalp area are responsible for insufficient amount of blood flow, therefore starving the roots of nutrients and oxygen that is necessary for healthy hair growth.
Good news is that Medical Laser Bio-stimulation helps these conditions causing vascular dilation and deflecting the DHT from the hair follicles!

Hormonal imbalances may cause hair loss is rare. If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, you may experience hair fall out. This type of hair loss requires hormone therapy by a specialist MD.
Some medicines can cause hair loss.
Among other hair loss causes there are also the following:
- emotional strains, stresses and nervous disorders,
- radiation,
- infections,
- polluted environment,
- toxic substances,
- injury and impairment,
- aging.
A combination of these factors increase hair loss considerably.
Over the past 20 years it was proved that hair loss is due to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). DHT causes gradual shrinking and thinning of the hair follicle until it does not exist anymore. DHT attaches itself to the hair follicle and over time causing it to thin and shred. Over 90% of the time DHT is the cause of hair loss.
Female-Pattern Hair Loss
As women age, their hair tends to thin out. Women's pattern of hair loss is analogous to men's, but has several important differences. Women's hair loss tends to be an even overall thinning; as opposed to men's hair loss in which the hairline recedes and/or there is balding at the crown of the head. Women tend to lose hair on the crown and at the hairline, which is referred to as female-pattern hair loss.
Women may experience some hair loss because of pregnancy and delivery. This loss is related to temporary hormonal imbalances. After pregnancy, hair growth should return to normal in most cases however, recovery time is different from one individual to another.
If you are suffering from female hair loss, stress related hair loss or female pattern hair loss the sooner the problem is diagnosed and addressed, the better results you will get from treatment. Please call us on 416 480 1700.
Male-Pattern Hair Loss
If you are a man between the ages of about 20 to 45 and you start to lose scalp hair, then the chances are 95 per cent certain that you are experiencing male pattern baldness. As the term suggests, male pattern baldness follows a typical sequence or pattern. Hair loss can start in different areas but is usually at the temples and/or on the crown of the head. Initial thinning of hair progresses over a number of years and may lead to total baldness but more typically loss of hair over the top surface of the head.
If you are suffering from male hair loss or male pattern the sooner the problem is diagnosed and addressed, the better the results you will get from treatment. Please call us on 416 480 1700.
Laser Therapy: How it Works?
Laser Therapy (LLLT) aims to increase the circulation of blood to the hair follicle area to stimulate the hair organ (nerves, muscles and growth centers of the hair follicle) to enhance or speed up the normal life and production cycle of the exposed hair follicles.
The increased blood flow and circulation in the scalp helps bring nutritiens to the follicle, and removes harmful waste products such as DHT. Increase in ATP leads to increased cellular metabolism and increased energy to transform from a weakened follicle to healthy follicle. This healthy follicle will produce healthier hair, prevent hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth.
Is it Right For me?
Normal hair loss is in the range of 70 to 100 per day for most people. If you are losing more hair than replenishing, if you start noticing early signs or stages of hair loss or thinning hair – this is the right treatment for you. We treat both men and women.
Benefits of Laser Therapy
- Increases scalp blood flow and follicle microcirculation by 20 to 30%.
- Increases nutrient supply to enhance hair growth.
- Stimulates and accelerates hair growth.
- Reduces excess levels of skin 5-alpha reductase and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormones that contribute to genetic thinning.
- Normalizes sebum production in the scalp.
- Reduces reducing pore clogging for hair to grow through easily.
- Reduces tight, tender scalp.
What Happens when I have the treatment?
The laser hair treatment elevates blood flow in the area of the scalp and into the hair follicles themselves. Once the blood circulation in the hair follicles increases, added nutrition is then brought into the hair follicle and then stimulates growth within it. In other words, with the utilization of the laser hair loss treatment, nutrients are then transported to the area of the scalp and then nourishes the hair follicle.
There is no pain or discomfort from the therapy. There are no known side effects.

How many Treatments do I need?

You would continue treatments twice a week for the following 7th- to 12th week depending on the severity of the condition. Treatments last approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
