A survey conducted by the China Health Commission, the number of persons with hair loss in China has exceeded 250 million. That is 1 out of 6 persons have had hair loss. There is also data showing that, on average, there is one hair loss for every four adult males in China within the age range of 20 to 40 years. The fastest hair loss is within the 30 year age bracket.
It is interesting to note that this generation is 20 years earlier than the previous generation’s hair loss age. This trend isn’t common to China alone but also occurs in other regions.
Xiaomi has crowdfunded the COSBEAUTY LLLT laser hair growth cap which is touted to effect healthy new hair growth in 12 weeks. The product comes with a crowdfunding price of 1499 yuan ($211).
The COSBEAUTY LLLT laser hair growth cap is equipped with 81 beams of laser light to achieve full coverage of the scalp. It utilises a high-value baseball cap design and weighs only 210g.
The LLLT works in two major ways;
1. Blocking androgens destroys hair follicles
Medical experts finger the conversion of Dihydrotestosterone from the male hormone testosterone as the main culprit of most hair loss. The cap protects the hair by blocking the binding of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to hair follicle receptor (AR) thus, protect the hair follicles from being damaged by dihydrotestosterone.
2. Provide energy molecules ATP, ROS, NO to reactivate hair follicles
The human hair follicles are divided into a growth phase, degenerative phase, and resting phase. The COSBEAUTY LLLT laser hair growth cap uses a 650nm medical laser to accurately reach the roots of 3-5mm hair follicles, activate the hair follicles in the degenerative and resting phases, and re-enter the healthy growth phase.
According to the firm, there are only a handful of certified hair growth devices. COSBEAUTY electric laser hair growth devices have not only passed the stringent CFDA certification, but also passed the FDA certification, which fully meets the technical requirements for hair growth medical devices, ensuring safety and effectiveness.
A clinical report carried by the Beijing Friendship Hospital verified that 80.9% of patients with hair loss experienced significant hair growth treatment.
The product is presently available for crowdfunding on Xiaomi Youpin. We can’t say if the product will find its way into the international market any time soon.
