Lumiere LED Light Therapy

Voted second best way to grow back hair, this is for men and woman that are balding or thinning.

Lumiere LED Light Therapy

A Known Technology for Healing
Lumiere employs Photomedicine at 663 nm to:

Provide proper FDA approved wavelength for optimum results
Promote hair growth
Slow hair loss
Increase blood flow
Increase waste removal from scalp
Increase cellular proliferation
Improve healing of compromised tissue

Anagen Phase or Growth Phase. Approximately 85% of all hairs are in the growing phase at any one time. Lumiere provides energy for cellular health and proper growth which produces stronger, healthier and fuller hair.

Catagen Phase or Transitional Phase. During the Catagen phase the hair follicle shrinks to about 1/6 of the normal length. The Lumiere can increase the cellular health of the dermal papilla as it breaks away to rest and assist it to be more prepared for the Telogen cycle. Lumiere stimulates growth of thicker, healthier hair.

Telogen Phase or Resting Phase. During this time (5-6 weeks) the hair does not grow but stays attached to the follicle while the dermal papilla stays in a resting phase below. Approximately 10-15 percent of all hairs are in this phase at any one time. The Lumiere stimulates the hair root for the new growth cycle.

How does it work?

Patient results are the by product of the proper application of the correct wavelength of laser light given in the correct dosage per unit of time. If proper penetration is not achieved, then there will be minimal if any cosmetic improvement.

Lumiere TM uses FDA approved 663nm true laser diodes for deep clinical penetration of the scalp and hair follicles for maximum patient benefits.
Lumiere uses only the highest quality laser diodes which provide the proper FDA approved wavelength for hair growth and optimum results. Collective scientific theory is that laser therapy stops and or reverses the cycle of follicular miniaturization by stimulating the follicle.via cellular energy transfer.

Nanometers are the rate that something is delivered. For example Lumiere has 663 nanometers. Viewing the diagram below you can see how that would affect the scalp and create hair growth.

What are the benefits of hair rejuvination?

The only non drug/medication approved FDA treatment for hair growth.
Proven hair growth of over 19 new terminal hairs per square cm.
Stops the progression of hair loss in 85% of the patients (clients).
78% increase in hair tensile strength.
25% increase in volume (thickness) from improved/repaired hair shaft quality.
54% increase in scalp blood flow.
No prescription required.
Pain free.
Surgery free.
Side effect free.

Have the benefits of  therapy been scientifically documented?

Yes! There have been multiple studies which clinically prove the efficacy and effectiveness of laser therapy.

2007- A recent double-blind placebo controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effect of  hair rejuvenation by comparing it with a sham or placebo laser.

The end result of that clinical trial was the FDA approval of a very specific type, strength and wavelength of laser therapy for hair growth!

Lumiere uses the precise laser specifications that the FDA clinical study results were based upon.

2003 – International Journal of Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology (Published Article) demonstrated that 93.5% of patients experienced increased hair counts when the results of all temporal and vertex patients were considered as well as up to a 78.9% increase in hair tensile strength.

There are also over 3,500 published papers on the effects of Low Level Laser Therapy.

What Is Trichotillomania?

Trichotillomania (pronounced: trik-oh-till-oh-may-nee-ah) is a type of psychological condition that involves strong urges to pull hair. The condition is fairly rare - statistics show it affects only 1% to 3% of the population, although new research suggests that the rate of hair pulling may be around 10% or higher.

Trichotillomania affects about twice as many girls as guys. Most people who have trichotillomania develop the condition during adolescence. But it can start when a person is as young as 1 year old.

People with trichotillomania pull hair out at the root from places like the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, or pubic area. Some people pull large handfuls of hair, which can leave bald patches on the scalp or eyebrows. Other people pull out their hair one strand at a time. Some inspect the strand after pulling it out, or play with the hair after it's been pulled. About half of people with the condition put the hair in their mouths after pulling it.

Trichotillomania isn't just a habit that a person can easily stop. It's a medical condition.

Trichotillomania is a type of compulsive behavior, which means that people with the condition feel an overwhelming urge to pull their hair. People with trichotillomania also may experience other compulsive behaviors, such as nail biting or skin picking. Some may have problems like depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Compulsive behaviors like trichotillomania can sometimes run in families.

Trichotillomania often leads to embarrassment, frustration, shame, or depression about the condition. Self-esteem problems are very common among those with trichotillomania. They usually try to hide the behavior from others, which can make it difficult to get help.

Why Do People Feel Compelled to Pull Their Hair?

Doctors don't know for certain what causes trichotillomania. Some think it might be related to OCD since OCD and trichotillomania are both anxiety disorders. This is one reason why the impulses that lead to hair pulling can be stronger when a person is stressed out or worried.

Experts think that compulsive behaviors like hair pulling may be caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain. These chemicals, called neurotransmitters (pronounced: nur-oh-tranz-mit-urs), are part of the brain's communication center. When something interferes with how neurotransmitters work, it can cause problems like compulsive behaviors.

Sometimes compulsive behaviors happen when the mind mistakenly thinks that activities like hair pulling will provide relief from stress or other problems. Some people with trichotillomania say that they notice a pleasurable feeling when they pull their hair or get relief from uncomfortable feelings. (This isn't the case for all people with the condition, though; some, like Daria, don't know why they do it.)

Any relief that comes with hair pulling usually only lasts for a moment. The urge almost always returns. That's because when the mind becomes used to giving in to the powerful urges that go with compulsive behaviors, the behavior is reinforced. The mind gets trapped in a cycle of expecting to have the urge fulfilled.
