Microscopic Analysis
A microscopic analysis reveals hair disorders and deficiencies. According to Dr. Linda Amerson, doctor of Trichology*, a microscopic analysis is vital for all consumers who are concerned about the nutritional health of their hair, and much more. You’ll learn what your hair strands and hair bulb reveals. This microscopic analysis is especially important for women with hair loss since hormones, thyroid or anemia levels may be a major contributor to female hair loss. Dr. Amerson’s microscopic hair analysis will determine whether there is internal or external damage causing hair loss and what the cause is:

Androgenetic alopecia confirmation
Nutritional deficiencies
Mechanical (heat) damage
Chemical damage
Emotional stress
Medication

A microscopic analysis will thoroughly detect the following:

Chemical or mechanical damage present
Clogged hair follicles
Damage to the cuticle and cortex layers
Dirt, build up and bacteria present
The effects of DHT developing
Stress to the hair
Lack of nutrition to the hair
Heavy sebum build up around the hair root
Hair shaft defects (there are 36 types)
Lack of vitamins and proteins in the hair
Lack of vital nutrition in the hair's dermal papilla
Lack amino acids and essential acids

It is important to know the causes of your hair loss, as hair loss could be an indication of poor health, nutritional deficiencies, etc. Women should speak to their doctor about checking their hormones, thyroid, or anemia levels. We highly recommend a microscopic analysis from Dr. Amerson to ensure the optimum results from your laser hair therapy. The analysis involves just 10 hair strands that are simply obtained when brushing or combing hair and is available through Hair Edge for only $99.

Hair loss treatment flexibility has now been opened up significantly with the addition of Low Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) as a primary or adjunct treatment tool. The clinical application of LLLT has increased dramatically over the last decade, and many specialities have found a variety of applications for its use.

*Trichology is the specialist field for the diagnosis and treatment of hair loss and scalp problems. The distinct advantage trichology enjoys compared to other health related fields is that it bridges the gap between naturopathic and conventional western medicine. This gives the trichologist the scope and flexibility to select the most appropriate treatment without being constrained by the limitations of any one discipline.
