Dear Hair Restoration Physician and Associates,
Based on feedback from last week’s email, I have edited the biphasic-dose-response graphic below to make it more readable; please see below.

(from Photomed Optics Lab) 
Biphasic photomed treatment dose-responses have been previously demonstrated (e.g., lllt in traumatic brain injury; hamblin et al).  In photomed for hair regrowth, the biphasic dose-response was thought to peak at around 4J/cm2 (similar to what had been previously described with photomed for wound healing). However, new research in photomed-induced proliferation of human dermal papilla cells shows in-vitro peak at 10J/cm2  (and with light-blocking effects of hair and skin, an in-vivo equivalent may be in the 20J/cm2 range or more).  In light of this new information, here’s where some common photomed devices for hair regrowth may lie on the revised dose-response curve:

Below are hematology and microscopic reviews of sample PRP preparations at 2x, 6x and 10x platelet concentrations.

Please see additional information for both photomed optics lab and prp cell lab at  labs.lasercap.us .  And please take our PRP-Preferences Survey (part of our ‘prp+photomed for hair regrowth’ registry trial planning).
thanks
