Are There Side Effects to Laser Hair Restoration for Men?

Hair loss affects men differently than women. When it strikes, hairlines recede and crowns begin to bald. The aggressive onset of male pattern baldness often leads to men grasping at quick fixes—like prescription pills that promise a full head of hair. Today, an ever-growing number of men are letting their prescriptions run out. It all began nearly 3 years ago, when a group of researchers at Johns Hopkins University made a startling discovery: The popular hair loss drug, Propecia^®, seemed to cause significant sexual side effects in men. Moreover, studies indicated that men continued to suffer with side effects like erectile dysfunction long after medication had been discontinued.

In the wake of the Johns Hopkins study, men are increasingly questioning the potential side effects of hair loss treatments. The prescription medication, Propecia^®, has fallen under particular scrutiny. Although some physicians argue that follow-up studies are needed to confirm the long-term sexual side effects of Propecia^®, many men would prefer not leave their sexual health to chance. Laser hair restoration has become a leading alternative to Propecia^®, offering men a safe, proven, and effective way to regain lost hair.

One of the biggest reasons why laser hair restoration is the leading alternative to Propecia^® is relative safety. To date, no study has demonstrated any adverse side effects to hair loss treatment with low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Operating at just 650nm, the medical-grade lasers used by products like Capillus laser therapy caps deliver substantial light energy without causing any damage to the scalp. Light energy is thought to increase circulation and blood flow to the scalp, supplying hair follicles with the oxygen, nutrients, and growth factors needed to grow thicker hair.
