Good news for people with baldness:a US company has developed a cap that helps hair grow back. This tool that uses low light laser therapy can be worn anywhere and at any time of the day.
According to a 2015 IFOP survey, 13% of French people reported being bald. This is a proportion that has remained stable over the past 25 years. The phenomenon also affects 3% of women aged 65 and over. While nearly one in four French people are affected, many people are looking for a way to get their hair back. It must be said that for many, hair loss is very difficult to accept.
The US company Kiier has developed a high-tech device that is intended to combat baldness or rather androgenic alopecia. This is the Laser Therapy Cap, a simple looking cap promising, using low light lasers , to treat the acceleration of hair loss.
While the use of this technology may be surprising, it has been around for decades. The principle of the cap is in fact based on Low-level laser therapy (or low-light laser therapy – LLLT) that the scientist Endre Mester discovered in the 1960s. However, the latter is already used by doctors for the purpose of treating hair loss. In addition, this technology has been the subject of several studies aimed at determining its effectiveness. It turns out that the results all go in the same direction, concluding on an improvement in hair regrowth in both women and men.
Back to our Laser Therapy Cap. Its lasers generate no heat. Thanks to the light coming from diodes, it improves blood circulation in the scalp. This allows nutrients to reach the root of the hair in order to nourish it. The cap comes in two versions:the Kiier Pro with 148 laser diodes and the Kiier Premier with 272. The company promises efficiency up to 93% , for visible results between three and seven months of use.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already approved this device. Kiier, however, offers a full money-back guarantee in the event that there are no results after seven months of use. Remember, however, that the device treats men concerned by levels II to V (on VIII) on the Hamilton-Norwood scale and women, by levels I and II (on III) on the Ludwig scale. Thus, the Laser Therapy Cap is unable to treat excessive baldness.
