iHelmet is designed for men and women with androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, postpartum hair loss and chemotherapy-induced hair loss. It is FDA CLEARED, CE APPROVED ans SAFE for long term use.
Safe. Non-invasive. Effective.
Every treatment is customized for you based on the extent of the hair loss and scalp area. iHelmet emits some of the strongest lasers to maximize growth and a smart sensor to lighten the setting on areas that are growing hair.
Based on the extent of hair loss and scalp area, each treatment is customized for you. iHelmet emits some of the strongest lasers to maximize growth and a smart sensor to lighten the setting on hair-growing areas.
It is clinically proven for hair regrowth and to combat hair loss.
For best results, combine the Laser Hair Regrowth System with Papilla's proprietary homecare range fortified with plant stem cultures and PDRN Salmon DNA.
The iHelmet is an innovative hair regrowth device which is clearly distinctive from other currently used devices. The App has been tailored to offer each user unique features about their own hair regrowth process, including reminders, records, evaluation, and other hair loss modes of treatment.
Laser power is affected by the environmental temperature; the higher the temperature the lower the power. Between winter and summer, temperature differences can be more than 30%. In short, laser energy = laser power lighting time. To ensure that the treatment is effective, it is necessary to that the laser energy is constant. When the laser power drops, it will compensate by increasing the treatment time, and when the laser power increases, it is necessary to reduce the exposure time. To achieve this, iHelmet has built-in high-precision sensors to monitor the environmental temperature at each startup, and automatically determine the time of lighting to ensure that the total energy is constant. This is one of the unique advantages of the iHelmet laser hair product.
There is no need to use it every day, however, every other day is recommended. The hair follicle tissue absorption of laser energy takes some time to carry out a series of biochemical reactions to promote cell growth. Therefore, in order to fully meet the needs of cell growth, using iHelmet every other day will allow a cumulative process for development.
After achieving the best hair effect, you should still use it twice a week to maintain the full growth effect. By then it should have developed into a habit, like brushing your teeth. It is always more efficient to care for your hair consistently on a daily basis.
iHelmet should be charged after each use to provide optimal performance for the next use.
When the iHelmet BLE app is connected to the iHelmet device, the upper left corner of the light interface has a horn icon. By tapping on this, you can turn the sound on and off but the sound levels cannot be adjusted.
Laser irradiation is accompanied by a thermal effect which accelerates the blood circulation of the head to stimulate the hair growth. If the environmental temperature gets higher than 26° C (79° F) during use, the thermal effect will cause the secretion of sweat in the scalp. Keep in mind that in the summer, it is normal that it results in an increase in moisture. Therefore, it is recommended to use the iHelmet in a comfortable, air-conditioned environment.
Yes. In most cases, there are two kinds of drugs that are used: minoxidil (external use) and finasteride (taken orally/suitable for men). We suggest using external medications or a topical nutrient solution 30 minutes after using the iHelmet since the scalp retains heat after the light treatment.
When warm, the follicles are opened; this is the optimum time for absorbing medication. iHelmet uses a medical grade soft laser light to stimulate shrunken hair follicles enabling them to enter the anagen phase of growth. It is a medically approved and safe treatment which does not have any side effects nor conflict with other treatments.
iHelmet is best used on clean, dry hair. Make sure the scalp is dry otherwise the humidity detected by the sensors will affect the treatment time. Because water will absorb the energy of the laser, it will reduce its overall effectiveness.
Anytime, the effect will be the same. In fact, soft light therapy may improve the quality of sleep when used before going bedtime.
Depending upon the cycle each individual hair is in, the treatment cycle on average is as follows:
1) Decreases hair oil/sebum in 1 month
2) Stops hair loss and nourishes hair in 2-3 months
3) Grows new hair in 3-6 months.
Hair that is already in the Anagen growth phase will continue to grow with improved strength. Maximum benefit can be reached after regular use for 1 to 1.5 years and maintenance use 2-4 times per month.
You should see fundamental changes in your scalp health, such as decreased/balanced oil/sebum within a month’s time. It takes hair follicles 3-4 months to change from telogen (shed phase) to anagen (growth phase). It is also wise to use the iHelmet regularly for a time after anesthesia or stressful events to ensure the healthy growth cycle is not interrupted.
For those with shorter hair, you may simply place the iHelmet on the head and begin treatment. For longer styles, you should brush, comb or tussle the hair to expose the area(s) that require treatment. Use a hairpin to secure hair away from thin areas, if needed.
It is ok to use it 3 days after the scabs have cleared (which takes 7-10 days). However, make sure that there are no open wounds on the head. This also applies for post PRP injections used for hair regeneration. As always, please consult with your doctor or Hair Loss Specialist for clearance before using iHelmet.
Onset shedding is possible if your hair is in the catagen or telogen phase when treatment began. During this period, your hair is transitioning from one phase to the next and will begin to show new growth quickly. It is possible that you may have an increase in hair loss for a short period of time. After the hair follicles have completed the accelerated end of the cycle process and are entering the anagen phase, new hair will grow again.
The following diagram displays the hair cycle:
ANAGEN (Growth Phase- lasts 2-6 years) CATAGEN (Resting Phase- lasts 2-3 weeks) TELOGEN (Shedding Phase- lasts 2-3 months) and then returning to the ANAGEN phase and repeating the cycle. If the user is in the stable period of hair loss, and more hair is in the catagen and telogen stage, then the laser will accelerate the hair follicles to move from the catagen and telogen stage to the anagen stage.
Low-level laser light can penetrate the dermis to a depth of 3-5mm and stimulate mitochondria to improve the production of ATP which is a key energy hair follicle cell.
More ATP means more efficient metabolism of hair follicles, acceleration of the separation from catagen and telogen and speeding up to enter and stay in the anagen state as long as possible.
