(Hairloss News) Salon offers balding men a cool zap - Toronto Star

Unger, who acts as a consultant to the treatment given at Tony Chaar Salon, cites a clinical study he supervised that found that the laser therapy resulted in 86 per cent of patients regrowing hair, while another 11 per cent stopped losing hair. Similar LLLT systems are found at some Toronto hair loss treatment centres and doctors' offices but Tony Chaar's is the only Toronto hair salon offering the Sunetics Clinical Laser Model E system. For Chaar's client Greg, having a balding father and brother and seeing his own gradual hair loss begin at 30 prompted him to try the laser treatment. Unger admits the medical field is still not sure what combination or which particular factors in LLLT actually stop hair loss and regrow hair, making it a somewhat controversial treatment. Though Unger would recommend laser therapy to both men and women losing hair, he thinks the best candidates for the treatment are young men who are in the first stages of hair loss, since the laser therapy works only on live hair follicles and does not reactivate dead ones. With message boards detailing horror stories of hair transplants and hairpieces, Bald R Us takes a firm stand against hair loss treatments and Snesko doesn't believe in the LLLT hype, though he hasn't tried it himself. read more
