详细描述
Ultrapulse is a is a laser beauty device using erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser (er:YAG). Er:YAG laser is a laser with wavelength of 2940nm which is able to penetrate into the dermis to a depth of 3-4 mm, and energy absorption occurs in the area of the dermal papilla, resulting in an increase in blood circulation of the papilla and activation of metabolism in the hair follicle. It generates multiple micro pores at the epidermal layer that enhances the absorption of the active substances that help to stimulate hair growth developed by Lyzer Co. Ltd in Korea.

时间窗: 4 months
Hair loss index will be recorded in the map and chart provided Cohen Hair Loss Classification System. The hair loss is scored with a single value from 1 to 100 to represent the percentage of hair of the patient's scalp. Global photography of the participant's scalp will be taken during first visit (baseline), immediate post-treatment (6 treatments), 2 weeks post-treatment and 1 month post-treatment. The evaluator will be responsible for scoring the hair loss index based on the global photograph provided.
