Q: If I’m using Propecia or Rogaine, can I still use Laser Hair Therapy?

A: Yes. There are no known drug interaction problems with Laser Hair Therapy. Each of these treatments attack hair loss with a different mechanism. They can be complimentary, as was recently presented at an international meeting which concluded, those using Rogaine™ (minoxidil) may experience a better result when adding Laser Hair Therapy to the treatment plan.

(Central California Laser Hair Therapy recommends: “When someone comes into our clinic who is not currently using finasteride or minoxidil, I typically suggest they try Laser Hair Therapy as a ‘stand-alone’ treatment option first. That way, both we and the patient can judge the efficacy of the Laser on its own merits, instead of wondering which option to give credit for results! The patient can always add one or both of the two approved drugs later in a treatment program.”

Q: What benefit to me is Laser Hair Therapy if I wear a hairpiece?

A: Anyone wearing a hairpiece, weave or extensions realizes they will usually experience a

continuing loss of hair. When that happens, it becomes more difficult to ‘blend’ the hairpiece with the indigenous hair. As time goes on, the wearer of a hairpiece may find him or herself in need of a progressively larger product to keep up with the continuing loss. LLLT can allow the growing hair to keep its body and luster, thereby making for a better overall appearance.

Q: If I’m just going to lose my hair anyway, shouldn’t I just go ahead and have a hair transplant?

A: Perhaps. When someone decides to have hair transplant surgery after there hair loss has more or less ‘stabilized’ (much like John’s, pictured), the major benefit of combining laser hair therapy is to maintain the quality of the remaining hair. In other words, hair transplants do not stop further hair deterioration, so future transplants are often needed. Keeping what you have following a hair transplant surgery is a way of protecting your investment and possibly preventing the need for more transplants.
