Treating baldness with laser light
Nov 2007
Some hair loss treatment centers are using this method and claiming it
promotes hair growth in bald spots. Earlier this year, the Food and Drug
Administration approved a laser device for Hair Loss use.
Sunetics International of Las Vegas has developed a number of laser products for
hair growth, including the Advanced Laser Therapy System for use in hair loss
clinics.
Part of the equipment fits over the patient's head like a helmet.
Patient testimonials indicate the system works. But dermotologist Dr. Michael
Maloney is not yet a believer.
He says there have been thousands of treatments for hair loss "and some of
them don't work very well and some of them end up being dangerous."
Earlier this year, the FDA for the first time approved a laser device for Hair Loss
use to promote hair growth.
