Laser Hair Therapy for Chicago, Illinois — Non-surgical Hair Restoration

Laser hair therapy is a treatment option for patients who would prefer not to undergo surgery or take medications for hair restoration, and is safe and effective for both men and women. It can also be used in combination with medications such as Rogaine® and Propecia®, or after hair transplant surgery, for comprehensive hair restoration treatment. At the Chicago Hair Institute, we are proud to offer laser hair therapy to individuals throughout Illinois who are looking for a non-invasive hair restoration option. We offer the effective, handheld X5 Hair Laser™ by Spencer Forrest, which allows our patients to perform laser hair therapy in the convenience of their homes.

Benefits of Low-level Laser Light Hair Therapy

Low-level laser light is an increasingly popular treatment for thinning hair. During a year-long clinical trial at the Chicago Hair Institute, we found that laser light hair therapy:

Increased hair growth.
Increased the thickness and weight of individual hair fibers.
Stimulated hairs in the dying phase to return them to terminal hair status.
Worked well for both men and women.

The technology behind laser hair therapy is the same technology that, for years, has been used for pain reduction and tissue healing. The specific wavelength of laser light used for hair restoration stimulates the blood supply to the scalp to enhance cell activity, allowing nutrients to reach the hair follicles and improve hair growth and health.

Laser therapy may not be the best hair restoration treatment for everyone, and it can't make hair grow in areas where there are no viable hair follicles. Candidates must have some hair present in order for the laser to work. To determine if you are a good candidate for laser hair therapy, schedule a free, personal consultation with Dr. Pomerantz. He will examine your scalp and hair and discuss all potential hair restoration options with you.

The X5 Hair Laser™

In the past, laser hair therapy required frequent office visits that would cost $3000 to $6000. s. Now, patients can use the affordable and highly effective X5 Hair Laser™ in the convenience of their homes. Dr. Pomerantz is excited to offer this laser hair restoration technology to his patients at the Chicago Hair Institute.

Some of the benefits offered by the X5 Hair Laser™ include:

Safety - The device uses class 3R lasers, classified by the U.S. government as safe for home use.
Painless Treatment - The X5 Hair Laser™ uses cold beam low-level laser light that produces no heat or radiation for painless treatment.
Convenience - The X5 allows you to undergo laser hair restoration in the comfort of your home at a time that is convenient for you. In addition, the handheld device is cordless, so you can move around and do other things, such as watch television, while using the X5.
Affordability - You can purchase the laser for a fraction of the cost of in-office treatments or laser combs.

Using the X5 Hair Laser™

It's easy to use the X5 Hair Laser™, and treatment takes only 10-15 minutes, three times per week. You simply move the X5 in a circular motion on one area for 20-30 seconds, and then move to a new location until you've treated your entire scalp. The floating head design of the X5 allows the laser to stay in direct contact with the scalp so that the light is not obstructed by existing hair while you move it along the contours of your head. When used as directed, results typically become apparent after two months; however, it may take three to six months for some people to notice a difference..
