Halo EliteTM is the next generation of clinical therapeutic devices designed to promote hair growth.

The aesthetically pleasing medical design provides the finest true laser therapy for incredible results

2007 - The World’s Most Powerful Hair Restoration Laser – November, 2007
-the Halo Elite. The laser is purpose built for Hair Restoration/Rejuvenation therapy. The device contains more FDA approved laser diodes than any other device of its kind. “We let science tell us the optimum amount of lasers for this type of therapy; and then set out to produce the finest laser system in the world”. The Halo Elite allows for faster, yet more therapeutic treatments. The ultra modern medical design is both elegant and more importantly - therapeutically functional. “We designed this system to be the most reliable device available to provide years of trouble free operation for our clients”.

2007 - FDA approves laser therapy to grow hair - February, 2007
The results of a 26 week double-blinded randomized sham-controlled clinical trial proved the efficacy and effectiveness of laser therapy for hair growth.

The clinical data indicated that 93% of the participants (male aged 30-60) had an increase of 19.8 terminal hairs per cm2 Vs a loss of 7.6 hairs per cm2 for the participants receiving the sham (fake) laser therapy. This is both a medically and cosmetically significant difference.

.:{FDA APPROVED}:.

Laser therapy is the only FDA approved therapy available that is not a drug/medication. No subject experienced any serious unwanted adverse effects.

The Halo Elite incorporates the most innovative FDA approved laser therapy protocol technology to provide the safest and most effective device available on the market.

There have been over 3,500 positive scientific studies of Laser Phototherapy (Low Level Laser Therapy) published internationally to date.

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.

Halo Elite TM uses FDA approved 650nm true laser diodes for deep clinical penetration of the scalp and hair follicles for maximum patient benefits. The Halo Elite has 168 true laser diodes, by far the most in the industry. More diodes, more power, more therapy in less time for your patients. Our laser system is the only laser system that provides complete scalp coverage for stable, consistent therapeutic results. The bottom line is that the Halo Elite provides your patients with fastest, safest and most therapeutically efficient treatments possible.

Halo Elite 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 The Elite has 650 nanometers. Viewing the diagram below you can see how that would affect the scalp and create hair growth.

What are the benefits of laser 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 laser hair 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 Laser 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!

Halo Elite 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.
