Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi,I m a 28 year old female & recently visited Advanced Hair Studio (AHS) for a free consultation!My scalp was examined by the consultant in AHS & was told that it appears to be an over production of testosterone (DHT) and that I would be an ideal candidate for advanced laser therapy that uses a laser beam once a month for over 6 months along with the use of their products such as shampoo, serum & tablets! I was quoted €2200 (€300 taken off for free consultation - so would have been €2500)....So my hair density has decreased significantly in the last 7 years (since I was 21) & have went to endless consultations & tried every lotion and potion but not much difference! My hair has slightly improved but is still very light! It is my top& sides of head mainly. I get sunburned on my scalp if I dont wear a hat! My parents hair was quite thick until their 40 s & I have 3 siblings with very thick hair and one sister who is 26 with similarproblem!Would you recommend me to try this procedure?! The consultant told me he wasn t a trichologist which I was disappointed with....was just someone trained by the company! This raised a red flag with me as I m afraid that it s a complete waste of time & it s all just a scam :-/Would hugely appreciate any feedback or advice!! Have already spent hundreds on other scams & want to research better this time!I m just so frustrated as it consumes my thoughts & as a female & hair being your crown of glory I feel upset every time I look in the mirror! I know there may not be a solution!Would appreciate any advice! Thanks so much!!
High levels of androgens, including DHT, can shrink your hair follicles as well as shorten this cycle, causing hair to grow out looking thinner and more brittle, as well as fall out faster. Laser hair therapy works by stimulating cellular activity in your follicles to slow down and minimize hair loss while supporting hair regrowth. Although, multiple sittings for 16 weeks may be required for any visible results. 100 percent success rate cannot be guaranteed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
