Hair Growth Cycle
Healthy Hair Growth Cycle:
- Unlike other mammals human hair growth and shedding is random and not seasonal or cyclical.
- At any given time, a random number of hairs will be in one of three growth cycles: Anagen, Catagen, or Telogen.
Main stages of hair growth and healthy shedding:
Anagen: is the active phase of the hair. The cells in the root of the hair are dividing rapidly. A new hair is formed and pushes the club hair (a hair that has stopped growing or is no longer in the Anagen phase) up the follicle and eventually out. During this phase the hair grows about 1 cm every 28 days. Scalp hair stays in this active phase of growth for two to six years.
Catagen: this phase is a transitional stage and about 3% of all hairs are in this phase at any time. This phase lasts for about two to three weeks. Growth stops and the outer root sheath shrinks and attaches to the root of the hair. This is the formation of what is known as a club hair.
Telogen: is the resting phase and usually accounts for 6% to 8% of all hairs. This phase lasts for about 100 days for hairs on the scalp and longer for hairs on the eyebrow, eyelash, arm, and leg. During this phase, the hair follicle is completely at rest and the club hair is completely formed. Pulling out a hair in this phase will reveal a solid, hard, dry, white material at the root.
About 25 to 100 telogen hairs are shed normally each day.
* Hair loss happens when the healthy and natural growth cycle of the hair follicle is interrupted and becomes fixed or stuck in "its rest phase" known as Telogen and will not return to its "the growth phase" called, Anagen.
Types and causes of hair loss for women and men can include:
- Androgenetic alopecia (DHT)
- Chemicals
- Cicatricial (Scarring) Alopecia
- Tight braiding
- Genetic tendencies toward hair loss
- Hormonal imbalances
- Thyroid Imbalance
- Menopause
- Prescription drugs
- Physical and emotional stress
- Poor Nutrition
- Toxicity
- Autoimmune disorders /Alopecia Areata
- Diabetes
- Scalp Ringworm
- Hair Pulling
Fact: Many women and in some cases men, may have a combination of these factors which is why it is important to seek professional help.

LHT has received 30 years of world-wide testing for effectiveness and safety. For the past 18 years we have used laser and recently incorporated 2 devices cleared by the FDA to promote hair growth
Laser Hair Treatment utilizes low light level lasers, delivering light energy directly to the scalp providing nutrients and energy to the hair follicle root. Functioning on the same scientific principle as that of photo-bio-stimulation; laser light stimulates cell metabolism and helps damaged cells to repair themselves. This breakthrough technology has been featured repeatedly on National newscasts across the United States. Physicians are praising this new technology as an effective treatment for hair loss. It is most effective when incorporated with a multi-therapeutic approach with products designed to inhibit DHT, both topically and orally to provide proper scalp hygiene and enhanced Minoxidil 5% compounded with w/ 5% Saw Palmetto.
How lasers came to be a standard in hair loss therapy
The Laser was first used in Eastern Europe about 25 year ago to speed up the healing process of diseased individuals. Since the late 1700s, scientific studies have shown that sunlight- or the lack of it - definitely affects our body's biochemistry.
Light also affects our hair, including how fast it grows. We have all experienced how our hair grows quicker during the summer, and this increased growth is due to improved blood supply to the hair follicles stimulated by the red light in sunlight.
FAQs about Hair Loss Laser Programs
Who is a good candidate for the program?
This hair loss program is for all men and women who want to improve weak thinning hair. It is however important to note, with any therapy early intervention is very important.
What should I expect?
Hair re-growth generally can be expected to begin somewhere between the 4th and 6th month. Many may experience thicker and healthier hair as first signs of improvement.
Is it safe?
This is one of the first questions many people have. The answer is absolutely. Laser therapy has been used successfully for more than 30 years to treat a broad spectrum of medical conditions. This therapy has no side effects and is both painless and non-toxic. The type of laser light used in low level laser therapy (LLLT) meets all international safety standards and legislative specifications of a “non-significant risk” product, and is classified as a Class IIIA cosmetic laser.
Are there any side effects?
