The helmet that can cure BALDNESS (allegedly): $800 headgear uses lasers on the scalp to stimulate hair growth and thickness

Around one and a half billion people across the globe are bald or have some form of hair loss.

Now a company in California has come up with what it claims to be the solution - a helmet that fires cool lasers at the wearers scalp to stimulate hair growth.

The Theradome headgear is said to be the only wearable, clinical-strength laser treatment that people can use at home, but it will set buyers back almost $800 (£475).

THERADOME'S PROMISED RESULTS

The Theradome claims to reverse the shrinking of follicles using lasers with regular use, up to between 18 and 26 weeks.
The company promises that such dedication results in cleaner, thicker and more manageable hair that is less oily. Hair shafts are larger and there is less fallout in the shower and on pillows.
Between 28 and 52 weeks of use for 20 minutes twice a week, it regrows hair by increasing blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles as well as boosting cell metabolism and reducing the effects of protein blocking enzymes.
In this time, the scalp will be healthier, less itchy and less inflamed, the company said.
After 100 weeks of treatment, hair will be fuller and thicker.

It claims to grow healthy new hair, double the follicle size of existing hair and can even prevent hair loss.

‘Getting your hair back is a convenient and affordable process,’ the company said.

 

Laser light therapy has been proven to improve hair health, but cold laser therapy has only been available at specialist clinics.

Theradome lets people use this advanced technology at home, and contains high efficiency lasers that produce virtually no heat but allow the maximum amount of light to be delivered, the company claim.

However, the technology comes at a price as the helmet costs $795 (£473 plus shipping).

It contains 80 lasers, so that light can reach 90 square inches (582 square centimetres) of the 111 square inch (720 square centimetre) average scalp area.

Users of the device are meant to wear it for 20 minutes at a time, twice a week.

For the first 18 to 24 weeks of use, it is designed to reverse the shrinking of hair follicles to stop further hair loss.

The helmet contains 80 lasers so that light can reach 90 square inches (582 square centimetres) of the 111 square inch (720 square centimetre) average scalp area. It is rechargeable and features proximity sensors (pictured) to ensure that the lasers are in the correct position

The helmet (illustrated) claims to set about regrowing hair by increasing blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles, stimulating microcirculation, improving the metabolism of cells and protein synthesis

‘You will find you have cleaner, more manageable hair with improved lustre and fuller body, decreased oiliness and larger hair shafts. You'll also find less hair fallen out in the shower and on pillows,’ the company said.

After 28 weeks of regular wear, the helmet claims to set about regrowing hair by increasing blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles, stimulating microcirculation and improving the metabolism of cells.

It ‘reduces the effects of protein blocking enzymes, promoting thickness and density,’ the company said.

Theradome claims that with regular use for up to 50 weeks, wearers of the laser helmet will have thicker and longer hair, plus a healthier scalp that is less itchy and inflamed.
