Maximize Hair Growth: Why Lasers Reign Supreme Over LEDs!

Maximize Hair Growth: Why Lasers Reign Supreme Over LEDs!

Ditch the cheap LED hair growth devices if you want real results.

You might come across ads for cheap LED hair growth gadgets, but don't be misled! Companies claim LEDs work wonders, but the truth is, lasers outshine LEDs every time.

Ever heard of LED pointers? Probably not — and there's good reason for that. Lasers can reach deep into your skin with powerful light energy, unlike LEDs. LEDs are made differently and are not able to project over long distances or penetrate the skin.

While both lasers and LEDs emit red light, they're worlds apart. Laser light is focused and synchronized, making it perfect for penetrating your scalp. LEDs, on the other hand, scatter their light, unable to reach your hair follicles effectively.

So, why does this matter?

Lasers beam focused energy directly where it's needed (coherent), while LEDs scatter their light in all directions (incoherent). Choose wisely for real hair growth results!

Also, coherent laser light energy is able to transfer to the cells of your hair follicle. More transfer of light energy, more hair growth.

Since laser light is collimated and travels in the same direction, most of the light is directed to penetrate the scalp. LED light is scattered and most of it reflects off the scalp and does not deliver the light energy required to energize the hair follicle.

The Undisputed Truth

MEDICAL GRADE LASERS

LASER light provides a narrow band wavelength of collimated light that stimulates the hair follicle directly.

LED LIGHT

LED light is broadband and dispersed. It does not penetrate to the base of follicle for optimal hair growth stimulation.

When it comes to science, lasers steal the spotlight with hundreds of clinical studies backing their hair-growing prowess. LEDs, on the other hand, lack substantial evidence, failing to impress. 

But why the LED obsession among some hair growth companies? It all boils down to cost. LEDs are cheaper, and these companies try to hoodwink the public with false promises of hair growth. Don’t fall for it.

The Power of Light: Coherence Matters!

Light Output (Coherent vs Incoherent): When comparing light output, lasers produce a coherent beam where photons are synchronized and move uniformly in one direction, while LEDs emit light that is incoherent, scattered, and lacks organization. The advantages of coherent light are as follows:
  • Enhanced Energy Transfer: Coherent photons, which move together in a synchronized manner, can transfer energy between molecules more effectively than scattered photons. This is helpful in processes like photosynthesis, where plants convert light into energy. Similarly, hair growth lasers delivering coherent light can penetrate the scalp more efficiently, stimulating hair follicles and promoting healthier hair growth.
  • Directed Effects: Coherent photons are more precise and can be aimed more accurately than scattered photons. This precision enables targeted control over particular cell functions, possibly leading to better medical treatments.
  • Monochromaticity: Lasers emit a focused beam of light, delivering energy precisely to molecules. This ensures accuracy in treatment and minimizes impact on surrounding tissues. In contrast, LEDs emit a wider range of light, which disperses the energy and decreases effectiveness. 
  • Polarization: Laser light is aligned, concentrating its power in a single beam. This targeted approach enhances the effectiveness of the treatment.
  • Dosage Control: Lasers let us control exactly how much energy is used in treatment, allowing for customized treatments pertaining to the user’s needs. This helps get the best results while minimizing unwanted effects.
  • Scientific Evidence: Scientific evidence proves that despite LED companies making big claims about their products, the scientific proof doesn't support it. In fact, a study from 2018 in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology discovered that LEDs were not as good as lasers at relieving pain and reducing inflammation.

The Bottom Line:

Now you know. If you're looking for a scientifically validated light therapy solution that truly works for hair regrowth, don't bother with red light therapy LEDs. Opt for Hairmax instead – the pioneer and global leader in laser hair regrowth technology (LLLT).
