1. What causes hair loss?
Hair loss is a universal condition affecting all ages, genders and nationalities. Hair loss in both men and women results from hormonal, chemical and systemic changes in the body. For example, pattern baldness in both male and female results from a by-product of testosterone known as Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is produced in high quantities by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase in the scalp. The binding of DHT to the genetically predisposed hair follicle results in gradual miniaturization and eventual deterioration of the hair follicle which is reported to be the cause of 85% of hair loss.
2. What is the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit?
The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit is a system that is extremely effective because it works by targeting the cause (e.g. DHT and the scalp) and the effect (e.g. miniaturization of the follicle) in three (3) easy steps. The LEIMO system has also been effective for customers who have lost hair through pregnancy, menopause and previous chemotherapy.
The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit includes 1 LEIMO Personal Hair Laser, 1 Bio Cleansing Shampoo, 1 Thickening Conditioner, 1 Scalp Therapy Day Treatment, 1 Scalp Serum Night Treatment, 1 Deep Cleansing Scalp & Body Scrub, 1 Universal Adapter, 1 Rechargeable Base Station and 1 Instruction Guide.
3. How does the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit prevent hair loss?
The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit works by blocking the cause (DHT in the scalp) and reversing the effect (miniaturization of the follicle). The LEIMO Bio Cleansing Shampoo and the Thickening Conditioner cleanses and conditions the hair follicle and hair shaft. The Scalp Therapy Day Treatment and the Scalp Serum Night Treatment vasodilates the blood vessels of the follicle and inhibit the formation of DHT in the follicle. The all natural Deep Cleansing Scalp & Body Scrub cleanse away pore-clogging grime and dead skin cells. It helps to improve scalp texture giving your scalp a healthier environment for thicker and fuller looking hair. The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser provides photo laser therapy to stimulate the hair follicle and promote hair regrowth.
4. What is the Money Back Guarantee and how does it work with the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser?
The LEIMO Hair Laser Starter Kit includes a 12-Month Money Back Guarantee (MBG). This MBG is offered directly to the customer from LEIMO International and not from the retailer or stockist. The MBG provides a satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely 100% satisfied with your results after using the LEIMO system for 12 months, LEIMO International will refund the laser portion of the Starter Kit’s cost less the price of the LEIMO hair care products included in the kit.
5. How does the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser work?
The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser is the world's first cordless take-home consumer device for hair-loss prevention and hair care using Laser and LED therapy – a surprising advancement for hair beauty restoration and revitalization that involves no medication, no drugs and no side effects. The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser delivers photo therapy to stimulate the hair follicle and promote hair regrowth. The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser is included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods as a Class IIa medical device with the intended purpose of hair follicle stimulation and hair regrowth. It uses Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to create a process known as Photo-Biostimulation. Photo-Biostimulation provides stimulus to the hair follicle by increasing the cells available energy which results in hair regrowth and healthier hair follicles.
6. Don't lasers remove hair?
There are two “types” of lasers: Cold Beam Laser and Hot Beam Laser. Hot and Cold lasers are technologically two very different types of lasers. Technically, there are many reasons the cold laser technology is far superior to hot lasers. Hot beam is used for destructive purposes such as hair removal, whereas cold beam is used for therapeutic purposes which stimulate cells rather than destroying them. LEIMO uses cold beam laser technology. Our laser falls within the international guidelines and specification for a cold beam low level laser therapy device.
7. What kind of results should I expect using the LEIMO system?
Within two to three (2- 3) months, you will start to notice a difference in how your hair looks and feels. Your revitalized hair will look fuller, denser and shinier. With continuous usage, your hair quality will continue to improve and stay healthy. The important thing is not to look for hair regrowth on a daily basis, all this does is frustrate you and add concern to your condition. One way to check your progress is to take photographs of your hair on a monthly basis. Either yourself or a friend or partner can do this for you. Rest assured this will show progress. And remember, hair does not grow faster under treatment. You must also keep in mind that you will not see appreciable differences from day to day basis.
8. Why is it important to use the LEIMO Scalp Therapy Day Treatment and Scalp Serum Night Treatment?
The LEIMO Scalp Therapy Day Treatment and Scalp Serum Night Treatment are the major components of the treatment to block the main cause of hair loss by inhibiting DHT on the scalp. It vasodilates the blood vessels of the follicle and inhibit the formation of DHT in the follicle.
9. Do I need to use the LEIMO Bio Cleansing Shampoo and LEIMO Thickening Conditioner everyday?
The LEIMO Bio Cleansing Shampoo and Thickening Conditioner have been specifically formulated as an everyday use shampoo and conditioner. We encourage a clean scalp to be maintained as this helps to remove the harmful effects of DHT from the scalp and enhances the effectiveness of the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser by reducing material build up on the laser window. With every day use, the active natural concentrate cleanse the hair shaft and follicle from excess sebum, both deep within and on the surface of your scalp and hair.
Please note that it is very important to use the LEIMO Thickening Conditioner along with the Bio Cleansing Shampoo as part of your daily routine.
10. What is the difference between the active foaming agent in the LEIMO Bio Cleansing Shampoo and what others use?
The LEIMO Bio Cleansing Shampoo has been specifically formulated with the powerful BioGrowth™ System that utilizes mistletoe and fennel ingredients to moisturize and improve the hair and scalp condition. This creates a healthy environment for thicker, fuller and healthier looking hair.
The LEIMO Bio Cleansing Shampoo uses a naturally derived foaming agent, Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) which has little or no irritations and allergies. Other manufacturers use Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) which is a synthetic foaming agent and can often cause skin irritations and allergies. The foaming agent used in the LEIMO Bio Cleansing Shampoo is sourced from coconut and palm tree extracts.
11. What is the LEIMO Scalp Serum Night Treatment?
The LEIMO Scalp Serum Night Treatment is an ultra concentrated natural formula that fights against the effects of thinning hair and DHT. Helping to reduce these effects, allows the hair follicles to rejuvenate and produce thicker and stronger hair. It is a topical formula made of natural active ingredients that has been scientifically proven to be the most potent anti-DHT compounds known today. It works by decreasing the levels of DHT in the scalp. This allows the hair follicles to rejuvenate and produce thicker and stronger hair, creating a fuller and healthier head of hair.
12. What is the LEIMO Scalp Therapy Day Treatment?
The LEIMO Scalp Therapy Day Treatment is an intensive antioxidant treatment designed to deliver a rich blend of Saw Palmetto extracts to help safeguard against the build up of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp and follicle. DHT is one of the primary reasons for problematic hair in both men and women. It is used in conjunction with the LEIMO treatment system and provides an all natural alternative to Minoxidil (Rogaine or Hair Again). The non-medicated Scalp Therapy Day Treatment provides a natural form of vasodilatation which is a process by which blood vessels in the hair follicle become wider following the relaxation of the smooth muscle in the vessel wall. This will increase blood flow to the hair follicle which helps to assist hair follicle health.
13. Is the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser listed as a medical device?
Yes, the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser is included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods as a Class IIa medical device with the intended purpose of delivering photo therapy to stimulate the hair follicle and promote hair regrowth.
14. Does LEIMO hair care range have any side effects?
LEIMO's active ingredients are made of all natural compounds and have a long history of use both orally and topically. Please always use the product as directed.
15. Does LEIMO work as well for women as it does for men?
Yes, and we have many satisfied women customers. In most cases, the cause of hair loss in women is the same as in men. Many women develop thinning hair and hair loss due to the same reasons as men who suffer from pattern baldness.
16. Can I use other hair care products or color my hair while using LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit?
Yes. You can use any other hair care products as you want, including hair colors and styling gels. However, please be reminded that before each therapy session, always keep your scalp and hair clean.
17. I recently had hair transplants, can I use LEIMO?
Yes. Although the transplanted hair is theoretically resistant to the destructive effects of DHT, the hair follicles surrounding the transplanted area may still be genetically susceptible to DHT. If these hair follicles are not protected, they will eventually be lost resulting in additional transplants.
18. How long will I have to use the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser for?
Laser therapy should be maintained everyday (10 minutes per day, 60 to 70 minutes per week) for the first year. This will ensure the maximum laser therapy results be delivered to your hair follicles. After this period, laser therapy can be used in a preventative maintenance mode – i.e. two to three times (2- 3x) a week (like flossing teeth).
19. Can I use the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser more than 10 minutes per day?
No, only in circumstances where you have missed one or two days in the week period. Remember, the maximum recommended stimulation per week is 70 minutes. Therefore if you missed one to two (1 - 2) days worth of treatment, you can catch up by using the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser 20 to 30 minutes in one (1) session.
20. Do I have to leave the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser turned On all the time?
The LEIMO Personal Hair Laser uses a cordless battery charging system that requires trickle charge technology to maintain the battery. If the battery in the laser is depleted consistently, long term battery life damage will occur. When not in use, the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser should be kept in the cradle with power supplied to the laser unit.
21. How long will I have to use the LEIMO Wet Products (LEIMO Bio Cleansing Shampoo, Thickening Conditioner, Scalp Therapy Day Treatment, Scalp Serum Night Treatment and Deep Cleansing Scalp & Body Scrub) for?
DHT will start to reform as soon as you stop using the LEIMO products, so using them should be a daily activity just like brushing your teeth.
22. What happens if I stop using my laser or wet products?
Without proper Photo-Biostimulation and DHT blocking, your hair will eventually return to its normal state of entropy. Hair loss will occur if you do not make efforts to prevent its return. You must continue to maintain your hair treatment through the use of the LEIMO products.
23. Do I need to use all of the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit products?
All the components of the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit are recommended for a holistic approach to hair restoration and hair regrowth. Of course, each individual product will produce results. However, when all the products are used together, the best results are obtained. Your hair is important, so give it the best chance!
24. Can I use laser therapy if I am pregnant or have a pre-existing medical condition?
If you are pregnant or have a pre-existing condition and are unsure of how the treatment might affect you, please consult your doctor or personal health professional before using the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit. Only use the LEIMO Personal Hair Laser Starter Kit as directed.
25. I experience a burning sensation, itching or redness on my scalp using the LEIMO Scalp Therapy Day Treatment, is this normal?
All the ingredients in the LEIMO Scalp Therapy Day Treatment are made from natural sources. The active ingredient in the Scalp Therapy Day Treatment is designed to act as a vasodilator to the hair follicle capillaries. If the Scalp Therapy Day Treatment is applied to a warm scalp, the effect is exacerbate in some cases and the feeling of a “stinging” or “burning” or “itching” nature is similar to using Dencorub or Deep Heat (sport gels or creams). The feeling passes relatively quickly and will leave no lasting effects. You must remember to use the Scalp Therapy Day Treatment on a “cool dry scalp”. This will minimize the effect burning sensation, itching or redness, if you are inclined to be effected in this manner. If the conditions persists for more than 30 minutes, please call the LEIMO Customer Service Center or consult your doctor or health care professional.
