In this article, we will explore the expectations and experiences of a Lanap procedure exemplar. Developed by American surgeon Dr. Ralph Fasanella, Lanap (Laser Assisted New Apparatus for Permanent Hair Restoration) offers a new approach to hair loss and thinning.
What is Lanap?
Lanap is a minimally invasive laser surgical treatment that contributes to stimulating active hair growth and regenerating hairs. It utilizes low level lasers to enhance the blood circulation in the scalp, promoting better nourishment for the hair follicles and triggering the anagen phase (growth phase) of hair growth.
A Patient’s Experience
"I have gradually been losing my hair," shared Julia, a 32-year-old woman who, after a year of trying various hair care products and treatments, decided to explore Lanap as an option. "My parents had also experienced early hair loss, and I knew I had to do something to keep my own hair."
Julia described her experience with Lanap as impressive. "I noticed visible results following the first session, and my hair grew faster and healthier," she explained.
Scientific Evidence
The effectiveness of Lanap is supported by numerous studies and research. Dr. Mark Hyman, a renowned cosmetic surgeon, stated: "Lanap provides an effective solution for people suffering from hair loss. It stimulates the active growth of hairs while preventing further hair loss."
One study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy found that Lanap led to a significant increase in the density and thickness of hair, as well as a reduction in the diameter of the follicles [1]. Another research indicated that Lanap could improve the overall condition of the scalp by increasing blood flow and oxygen supply to the hair follicles [2].
Comparisons with Other Treatments
Compared to other hair treatments such as minoxidil shampoo or hair transplantation, Lanap is a less invasive and lower risk alternative. There is no need for long-term use of hair care products or the removal of one’s own hairs for transplantation procedures.
