A method and apparatus for producing hair growth stimulation using light energy, topical compositions, and combinations thereof. By using photomodulation resulting from cellular responses to exposure to specific wavelengths of light, optionally in conjunction with topical compositions and procedures for enhancing the penetration of such compositions, hair follicles are activated to produce hair growth.

A hand-held laser device that stimulates hair growth. The device provides distributed laser light to the scalp while simultaneously parting the user's hair to ensure that the laser light contacts the user's scalp. A unique beam splitting reflector splits a single laser beam to ensure that energy from the laser beam is evenly distributed. The reflector is mechanically aligned with the laser source and has a zigzag structure which mechanically deflects portions of the beam as it passes over the peaks of the reflector. The portions of the laser beam form a line of laser beams that project toward the user's scalp. Parallel rows of teeth are aligned with a central row of individual laser beams and part the user's hair to form furrows in the user's hair as the device is combed through the user's hair. The furrows create an unobstructed path for the laser beam to reach the scalp of the user.

Disclosed herein is a skin condition-improving composition for topical application to the skin, comprising human growth hormone as an active ingredient, and a method for improving skin conditions using the same. The disclosed composition exhibits various skin conditioning effects, such as acne treatment, wrinkle improvement, dark spot removal, skin elasticity improvement, hair growth stimulation, skin aging prevention, skin moisturization and the proliferation of skin epidermal stem cells.

The aim of this invention is to offer a novel agent for hair growth, which has excellent hair growth effects but not side effects. The agent for hair growth of the present invention is characterized by comprising a processed semi-mature soybean and/or a processed semi-mature soybean extracts and at least one substance selected from the group consisting of a processed Polygoni Multiflori Radix, processed Polygoni Multiflori Radix extracts, a processed Cynanchum bungei Decne or processed Cynanchum bungei Decne extracts, preferably further comprising Longan seed and/or Longan seed extracts as active ingredients. This agent for hair growth has no side effects when used externally or internally, it can notably improve hair growth within a short period of time; ranging from 6 to 12 weeks, can return hair to its normal hair colour (for example from white to black) and can improve the gloss of hair.

A method and apparatus are provided for hair growth management by applying low energy optical radiation to a treatment area of a patient's skin, which radiation is sufficient to at least traumatize a matrix portion of each follicle being treated, but not to cause either necrosis of most of each said follicle or immediate gross alteration of any hair shaft therein. The treatments are preferably performed a plurality of times at selected time intervals to achieve a desired level of hair growth management.

There is provided a device for imaging a skin object (7) near a skin surface of a body part, comprising a light source (1) and a detector (8) for detecting radiation returning from said object (7), wherein the device further comprises an elliptical, preferably circular, polarizer (4, 19) between the source (1) and said skin (6) surface, the device comprising a 5 ratio increaser means (3, 4, 19) for increasing the ratio of radiation from said object (7) to radiation from said skin (6) surface. The ratio increaser may be an additional or the same elliptical polarizer. Using elliptically or even circularly polarized light makes hair detection independent of the orientation of hair (7) with respect to light or polarization, which renders 10 the detection more reliable. The invention also provides an imaging method and a hair-shortening device and method.

Disclosed is a laser treatment device which is designed to stimulate hair growth and prevent hair loss by applying LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) to the scalp using laser light of a specified wavelength. The laser treatment device also provides ultra-low frequency mechanical vibrations to the scalp and the combination of light and vibrations is designed to produce synergy. Laser light, which may be blocked by remaining hair, may nonetheless reach the scalp using light-emitting elements attached to the ends of tooth-shaped protrusions. The present laser treatment device is characterised by a bendable applicator having said tooth-shaped protrusions such that it can change shape in accordance with the curvature of the head, which increase the efficiency of light and vibrational energy delivery. The laser treatment device is optimally controlled with a means to measure the light and vibrational energy supplied to the scalp, and the applicator may also be used as a wearable headset, which provide greater simplicity in mounting and removal.

The present invention relates to continuous spray medications involving the scalp, such as minoxidil, finesteride, copper peptides, DHT inhibitors and androgen receptor blockers, for example, in an amount sufficient to stimulate or maintain hair growth. The scalp medication is disposed within a pharmacologically acceptable carrier solution. In further embodiments, the spray scalp medication is dispensed within a product bag containing the medication in liquid form. The product bag is disposed within a container and includes a sheet of gas impervious material having a barrier layer therein. A gaseous propellant is also disposed within the container and is substantially separated from the medication. The valve assembly is selectively operated to produce a fine mist of said medication which is non-chilling, continuous and even.

This invention relates to compositions and processes for stimulating the growth of mammalian hair comprising the topical application of compositions comprising a hair growth stimulating and/or hair loss prevention agent, and a hair and/or skin lightening and/or neutralization agent, in association with a topical pharmaceutical carrier. Unlike other products, the composition of the invention can be used with dyed/treated hair so as to not affect the color of the hair.
