One out of every three people experience noticeable hair loss. Thinning hair is a challenge that many men have to deal with, but 30 percent of women are also affected. With more than 352 million men and women suffering hair loss in the USA and Europe alone, adding laser treatments to your practice will increase your revenue stream by tapping into this $5.4 billion hair loss market. With an average sale of $3,000-$4,000 per client, physician and aesthetics practice owners are adding more than $200k to their annual revenue with only one new client per week.

What makes this a pristine opportunity for most practices is that you already have a steady stream of potential clients walking in your door. Although men are still a slightly larger percent of hair loss suffers, women are the fastest growing number and the most underserved group. Fifty percent of all women will have thinning hair by middle age, and more and more of them are turning to medical treatments like low level laser treatment for help.

Laser therapy has been widely used for years in vision correction, orthopedic surgery, wound healing, fighting acne, and a wide range of other medical treatments. Although the laser technology was just recently cleared by the FDA to re-grow hair, the Hair Loss Control Clinic (HLCC™)has been utilizing lasers as part of their treatment programs for over 16 years.
