Laser light therapy is a popular method of treating a variety of different skin and hair conditions. It can be beneficial at addressing conditions in which hair loss is occurring, or a number of skin problems like varicose veins, blemishes, scarring and more. The fact that this procedure is minimally invasive is one of the best selling points.
FDA Approval
Laser light therapy has been approved by the FDA for a variety of different uses. Low level laser light therapy is approved for the procedure of stimulating new hair growth. This can be accomplished by treating the affected area periodically with laser light at a low intensity. This causes the hair follicles to begin to grow new hair.
Laser light therapy has also been approved by the FDA for a number of skin conditions as well.
Other Factors
The intensity of the laser that is used in your laser light therapy procedure is important to keep in mind. This will be the single biggest factor in determining whether the therapy itself is both effective and approved. The FDA has only approved certain intensity levels; be sure to check on the intensity level that your doctor plans to use before you have a procedure done so that you can ensure it's been approved.
