Send us Fan Mail LED and Laser ~ What's the difference? Adam is from Leeds, he is now in his 40s, and has experienced Male Pattern hair loss since his 20s. After his wife began to notice changes in her hair too, they started to look for options. He went to visit a hair loss clinic, where they introduced him to low level light therapy. The treatments proved to be very time consuming, expensive and difficult to fit sessions into day-to-day life. They liked the idea of laser and the scientific evidence behind it, and decided to create their own laser device, a convenient, good looking baseball cap design which has 272 diodes. Laser can penetrate through the layers of the scalp, right to the hair follicle and stimulate growth, prolonging the length of the hair follicle growth cycle.

She was a model as a child, and has always been judged on her looks, even by her own family. She then became an aesthetician who works with skin, and says that this is an industry where you are also judged on how you look and your appearance by clients and peers. She has been diagnosed with Female pattern hair loss and Teogen effluvium after visiting three dermatologists to get answers and a suitable treatment plan. She has had to advocate for herself and do a lot of research. She sill feels like she has no idea what will happen regarding her hair loss going forward. Rachel states that although her family were sympathetic at first, they soon lost patience with her and have made it clear that they think she should have got over it by now, put a wig on, and got on with her life. her relationship with certain family members is conditional, and the relationships have broken down over this. Losing her hair has caused tension between her and her family, and left her with no support network or help. After times where she has really struggled with her hair loss, she feels completely alone and has noone to support her. She has had to seek help and community online with others who have had hair loss and understand her better. After struggling with surgeries, illness and addictions, she still describes her hair loss as being the worst thing that has ever happened to her.
