Fort Worth Salon Offers Hair Loss Laser Treatment
FORT WORTH (CBS 11 / TXA 21) ―
It claims to re-grow hair in a matter of weeks. For men or women who've suffered hair loss, a new laser could help restore their hair and their confidence.
A client who uses the laser at
Stylemakers Salon in Fort Worth didn't want CBS 11 News to identify her. The woman wears a wig to conceal her hair loss. "That's one of the first things that people see is your hair. It's devastating when you lose your hair. You don't, it's not something you can hide," she said.
With no warning, the client's hair began falling out in clumps. "I visited several doctors and they did blood workups, but they couldn't find out what was wrong."
The woman says she has always worn her hair long, but when she began noticing bald spots knew she needed a solution. "I began to be very concerned that if I didn't do something about it I was going to end up losing all of my hair."
When clients go to
Stylemakers, Shelly Beatty first analyzes their hair follicles. "What we're looking for is to make sure they do not have a clogged or plugged hair follicle," the salon owner explained.
If the follicles are active and clear, the client will begin low level laser treatments twice a week. According to stylists, the treatment helps increase blood flow around the hair follicles. "The existing hair they currently have is going to start feeling thicker and full and they're going to get more volume to the hair they already have," claimed Beatty.
Stylists say after starting treatment clients should begin seeing some results immediately. "The more hair you have to begin with, the less time you've been losing hair, the better results you'll get," said Beatty.
The process reportedly also works for men. The photos to the right are before and after pictures of male clients. There are also before and after photos of female clients.
After treatment the client who spoke with CBS 11 News said her hair follicles are showing more volume and are darker than when she started treatment. "I've had great results from this treatment, and I'm very committed to it," she said.
The treatments cost $75 a session. A complete regimen can run anywhere from $700 to $4,000, depending on individual choices and needs.
