TECHNOLOGY LLLT – low level laser therapy
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) applied to the scalp as a treatment for hair loss

A lot of tudies have shown that LLLT stimulated hair growth. Devices with LLLT technology LLLT over almost two decades have been used in the world’s leading clinics specializing in the problems of baldness.
LLLT technology history
In 1967 the first working laser was invented by Endre Mester in Semmelweis University Budapest, Hungary.He discovered accidentally that the laser light can cause hair growth as a side effect in treating skin cancer.
Dr. Mester made independent experiments on mice. He divided them into two groups, shaved off the back of the animals. The first group included mice applied by low-powered laser. The second group of mice was irradiated by ordinary light. Few weeks later he noticed in the group where the laser light was applied to the backs of shaven mice that hair grow back more quickly. The hair looked thicker, stronger and there definintly seemed to be more of it. (These experiments led to the first scientific publication on the LLLT theme and hair: “Mester E., Szende B., Tota, J.G. The effect of laser beams on the growth of hair in mice. Kiserl Orvostud.” 1967; 19: 628-631″.)
Over 20 years ago HairMax became a pioneer of at-home laser hair regrowth LLLT technology and is the undisputed global leader in the field, after numerous clinical studies bringing doctor recommended laser light treatments to hair loss sufferers around the world.
