What does change is the number of follicles which are producing healthy hair. Hair follicles form in utero, so no new follicles are formed after birth, and no follicles are lost as we get older. As we age, typically the number and rate of healthy hair producing follicles is reduced, however the use of photobiostimulation in the new laser comb acts to keep the follicles going through their normal phases of replacing old hair with new. The scalp is skin which contains a fixed number of follicles which is determined at birth. We lose anywhere from 100 to 150 hairs per day normally and replace these with others of roughly the same number as they start their growth phase.

How the Scalp Benefits From Using a Laser Comb A laser comb directs low level cold wave light energy towards the hair follicles in the scalp to provide them with circulation and improved blood flow which carries nutrients necessary for healthy hair production.

We are born with anywhere from 100,000 to 350,000 follicles which go through the three phases of production, transition and resting.
