Below is a list of the Top 3 Hair Loss Technologies we saw come across our news desk in 2014.
iGrow
This gadget is a cap that can be used at home by both men
and women who suffer from hair loss and utilizes LED lasers to rejuvenate and
stimulate hair growth.
Cleared by the FDA, the device is hands-free and can be used in place of other topical medicines or pills. Use of the low-level laser therapy helps to strengthen the hair follicles so they can grow again and even thickens areas around the scalp that are starting to thin.
The device comes with headphones as well as an iPod/MP3 interface so users can unwind and enjoy themselves while letting the device do its work. One of its main targets is to help with hair growth for men who suffer from Androgenetic Alopecia.
HairMax
This device also uses lasers to help ‘awaken’ and stimulate hair follicle growth but does so via a comb.
By combing ones hair with the products patented hair parting teeth, its possible to deliver energy directly to the follicles and improve blood flow. The action of combing through the hair on the scalp is said to also help rid DHT which can be a culprit for hair loss.
What’s unique about this offering is that it works in the same way as plants do to grow. Using “Photo-Biostimulation” light in the red spectrum is delivered directly to the scalp and hair follicles so they can be stimulated to grow.
Theradome
This product also got a lot of hype this past year and is a laser hair therapy helmet also for use in the home.
The company notes its lasers are perfectly times and heated and unlike other offerings on the market with ineffective LEDs.
It also puts a specific focus on women who suffer from hair loss and thinning and offers a chance to help restore hair to a healthy, growing state, from the comfort of one’s own home in just 20 minutes, 2 times a week.
The helmet also comes with a treatment counting system, so users can keep track of how many sessions they have done with the helmet and track progress.
