Do you suffer from thinning hair? If so, you are not alone. 30 million women in the United States suffer from thinning hair. Laser hair treatments, available here at Michael's in Dayton Ohio, provide hope. This is not just another false claim saying "we can re-grow hair instantly!" For laser hair treatments to be effective, it takes patience and time. The FDA approves this treatment, and studies have shown a 97% success rate in increased hair count after 18 weeks of treatment.  It typically takes one year to achieve ideal results.

The Doctors television show featured this treatment on a segment about thinning hair. This video explains how the laser works:

It's How To Tuesday again at Michael's! Do you have problems recreating your salon look at home? Michael's Salon is putting together a new how to video each week to teach you how to style your hair at home. But here's the difference: our designers are demonstrating the styles on themselves!

Ladies, you can throw away your bump-its, because Elise is about to show you how to back comb and tease your hair to get volume, without having to use an uncomfortable plastic head piece!

Elise used products by Osis to get this look: Dust It mattifying powder and Freeze Fix spray.

The December 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine included The O Guide to Hair Extensions, which featured Great Lengths extensions. Michael's Salon is proud to offer Great Lengths extensions to the Dayton, Ohio community. These extensions are ideal for women with fine or thinning hair, or anyone who wants a drastic change without waiting for their natural hair to grow.




The article does a great job explaining exactly what the extensions are:

"Each one comes as a 100-strand lock of human hair secured at the top with a keratin protein polymer cap. In the salon, each cap is bonded to your own hair, near the scalp, with a tonglike tool. Depending on the length and thickness of your hair, you'll need 50 to 100 pieces."

Michael's offers Great Lengths extensions only after a designer consultation. At this free consultation, your designer will estimate how long the service will take and how much it will cost (based on the volume and thickness or your natural hair), and she will give you advice on how to maintain your extensions to keep them looking healthy.

Here are some maintenance tips offered in O:

• "Shampoo and condition with silicone-free products, because silicone can make extensions slip off"
• "Deep-condition the ends, but avoid getting conditioner on the bonds."
• "Extensions tangle easily; brush them gently at least twice a day with a boar-bristle paddle brush"
  

If you're interested in Great Lengths extensions, call us to schedule your free consultation!

I wanted to give everyone an update on the results of the Laser Treatments for my thinning hair. I have completed 10 weeks of treatments and I'm happy to report "it's working!" In just 10 weeks I'm seeing a huge difference. My hair feels thicker and is noticeably fuller. Also, the texture and condition of my hair has improved tremendously.I wanted to share this video clip of my experience. Posted by: Kim

 

Now I have hope!

 

Shirley Before Laser Enhancement          

  

Shirley After Laser Enhancement

 

If laser hair therapy can do this for Shirley in just 6 months, just think what it can do for you. It is a safe, effective treatment that is painless, has absolutely no side effects and is completely noninvasive. It uses a non-thermal (cool) laser in low level to bathe the scalp and hair in a pure therapeutic red light.

 

Having to deal with fine thinning hair for too many years myself, I can’t tell you how excited I am about this service being offered at Michael’s Salon. Being a woman who works in a salon and loves everything about the beauty industry, loosing my hair was extremely emotional and hard to accept. I just started the laser therapy last week – it’s really simple and relaxing, you just sit under the laser hood for 30 minutes two times a week. The program involves six to twelve months of treatments. To enhance the results, I apply a topical supplement in the areas where I’m experiencing the most hair loss.  I do this every night and wash my hair in the morning. The only hard part in the program is being patient and letting the system work. After seeing the results in Shirley’s pictures above, I’m so anxious to see how the program will work for me.

 

This is me before Laser Hair Therapy. I’ll keep you posted on my results.

FYI, for those of you who haven’t heard about Laser Hair Enhancement - It uses the most scientifically advanced cosmetic lasers, fully FDA compliant. Over 50 laser diodes bathe your scalp and hair in therapeutic light. The most effective treatment ever discovered to create a fuller, thicker, healthier head of hair.

 

It’s like physical therapy for your hair!
