The Laser can effectively use to treat baldness, laser rays are directly applied to the scalp by a mechanical device so that red blood cells are stimulated. Lasers actually work by converting ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate), which releases energy and causes cellular metabolic changes. During this process, additional nutrients and oxygen are provided to the scalp assisting the normal chemical processes performed by those cells, increasing overall blood circulation. Laser therapy can improve overall hair quality, promote hair growth, and increase hair shaft diameter.
