About CNV Laser Hair Growth Helmet

Is it too late for me to start using CNV?
In order for low-level light therapy (LLLT) to work, you cannot be completely bald. The hair follicles must still be alive, otherwise laser therapy may not be effective. As long as you still have hair, even thin hair, laser therapy may be beneficial to you. CNV is not intended for individuals with severe hair loss. Please refer to the Norwood-Hamilton Scale (male) or Lugwig-Savin Scale (female) to identify your stage of hair loss. LLLT is suitable for (IIa-V for men, I-II for women). Consult your physician if you are not sure whether low-level light therapy can benefit you. Alternatively, you can email your pictures to cnvbeauty@hotmail.com to have our specialists evaluate your hair conditions to see if laser therapy would be beneficial for you. 

What's the difference between lasers and LEDs?
Lasers emit coherent light and can be transmitted over longer distances as they focus on a single point. LEDs tend to distribute their power over a larger area, without the traveling effect of laser. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) tend to target and affect local tissues that are exposed to the light. From a short distance, lasers and LEDs may behave very similarly and deliver energy in a similar way. Because it's not coherent light, LEDs can actually use higher power at healing wavelengths and not cause harm, especially since we use high quality LEDs to maintain the required energy levels. All light sources are designed and positioned close to the scalp to allow hair follicles to receive the proper light energy to promote hair growth.
The CNV uses the combination of both lasers and LEDs to deliver photons to the scalp to reach both the superficial tissue and the deeper tissues (hair follicles). LEDs work along with lasers to provide wider coverage to the full scalp. The LEDs CNV uses are powerful medical grade LEDs near monochromatic light, which has properties very similar to lasers, yet still providing broad stimulation of the scalp to ensure exposure of all hair follicles to the light energy.
Here's a video from Dr. Larsen, laser and light therapy specialist, explaining the difference between lasers and LEDs and why they are effective for hair growth.

Will CNV promote a reduction in hair loss?
Low-level light therapy (LLLT) uses a scientific process to fight hair loss and promote hair growth by stimulating cell metabolism at the follicular level. This treats genetic hair loss and allows users to have long term success without experiencing adverse side effects or increase in health risks. Many solutions on the market use drugs and chemicals to regrow hair. These may have long term complications for your health and wellbeing. We are against the use of any potentially invasive and unsafe options. We advocate using the right methods to improve your beauty and health. This is reflected in our non-invasive, drug-free, and side-effect free product line.

Are the lasers harmful?
We use low-level lasers (Class 3R). Laser diodes are safe and have been used for decades. Cold lasers are non-invasive, however all lasers can harm you if you look directly at them. The lasers do not emit heat or radiation––the treatment is completely pain-free. These lasers are cleared by the FDA for both safety and efficacy.

What if CNV doesn't work for me?
While we expect low-level laser therapy to help most hair loss sufferers improve hair conditions and promote growth, inevitably a small percentage of users may not see significant results. Unfortunately, it's impossible to truly know whether your hair will respond to light therapy until you try it. For individuals with severe hair loss, laser therapy may not be beneficial. However it's not expected to worsen your hair conditions.
Fortunately, we offer a 12-month 100% money back guarantee on the CNV Laser Hair Growth System, so you can try it for yourself risk-free. If it doesn't work after 12 months, you can simply send it back for a full refund. We'll even pay for return shipping. We offer this guarantee to you, so you can experience it confidently without having to worry about losing your investment if it does not grow hair for you.


Can laser therapy be used with other hair loss products?
Physicians believe that laser therapy can be safely used with other hair products. In fact, many physicians have reported that laser therapy can help improve the effects of other hair loss solutions because it can increase cell metabolism rate and elevates blood flow in the scalp area, which can enhance absorption and supply of nutrients. 
This published article by the International Journal of Trichology discusses a study of low-level laser therapy on male and female patients who suffered from androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss). They concluded from the study that " LLLT represents a potentially effective treatment for both male and female androgenetic alopecia, either as monotherapy [by itself] or concomitant therapy [along with other treatments]. Combination treatments with minoxidil, finasteride, and LLLT may act synergistic to enhance hair growth... No adverse reactions were reported."


Is CNV safe for home use or while traveling?
The CNV is designed for both convenient home use and for traveling. The helmet was engineered so that you could enjoy clinical-strength laser technology in the convenience of your own time, or wherever you choose to use it. 

How do I use the CNV Essential device?
DIRECTIONS: Place device on your head securely and comfortably. Simply press the START button to begin the session. Once the session is complete, it'll automatically shut off. 
There is a safety sensor on the device, so if it is not positioned properly on your head, the device will not turn on. If the device is removed from the head during a session, the safety feature will also automatically pause the session. To continue the session, place device back on your head and press START.
FREQUENCY: Use the device every other day for 25-minute sessions. 

When is the best time for treatment?
You can use CNV anytime just as long as you do not apply other hair products prior to treatment and make sure that your hair and scalp are dry. Most users prefer to use it in the morning or at night when they're watching TV, using the computer, or reading.

Can I use CNV with other hair treatments?
LLLT (low-level light therapy) can be used on its own or in conjunction with other hair treatments. Many physicians believe that the combination of LLLT and other products—such as topical products, minoxidil, finasteride, supplements—can help to improve results. However other products and treatments are not required in order to see results with laser therapy. It can be used as a stand alone treatment that is effective. Many hair transplant surgeons sell the our laser devices and believe that LLLT can help to increase the rate of healing and maintain results by stimulating the newly transplanted hair follicles. 
We recommend choosing drug-free and non-invasive products to avoid side effects and health risks. Whatever you decide to use–whether it's laser therapy or another product–optimal results are achieved when hair growth treatments are consistently and patiently used over a period of time.

What age is safe to start using CNV?
CNV is safe to use for people above the age of 18. Please consult your doctor before using CNV if you are under the age of 18.
I had a hair transplant or hair procedure, will laser therapy help me?
Hair transplant surgeons we work with have told us that low-level light therapy actually helps hair loss sufferers maintain results after hair treatment procedures. Genetic hair loss is a progressive condition, so this may lead to newly transplanted hairs thinning and falling off. Many transplant surgeons have reported that their patients have seen great success using laser therapy after transplants to help to reduce further hair loss, accelerate recovery time, and maximize results from the expensive procedures.

Does CNV work for women with thinning hair?
Unlike many conventional hair treatment therapies, the CNV Laser Hair Growth System can be safely used by both men and women. The CNV system uses low-level light therapy to regrow hair by improving cell metabolism and increasing energy efficiency at the follicular level. This causes hairs to grow back thicker, fuller, and healthier. The light energy stimulates and nourishes the hair follicles to fight breakage from dry, brittle hair. Many women love to use the CNV to help regain the hair volume, shine, and body they desire. Our system is designed to be used by anyone looking to improve their appearance effectively and safely with no negative side effects.

Can I use CNV everyday?
You are not advised to use it everyday. We recommend to allow one day of rest in between your 25-minute sessions. Using the helmet more than the recommended usage has not been proven to provide better results. Overstimulation of the hair follicles may be detrimental to the hair restoration process.

How long until I start to see visible results?
You can expect to see visible results from low-level light therapy within 12 to 24 weeks of continued use of 25-minute sessions every other day. Results will vary from 
individual to individual. You can expect to see a slowdown in hair loss and reduction in miniaturization of hair follicles in the first 2 to 4 months. From around 4 to 6 months, 
you may notice thicker, fuller hair starts to grow back. LLLT is expected to yield better results as you continue using it to maintain healthy hair growth. 
Be patient as hair growth is different for each and every person. Remember––hair only grows less than half an inch each month. If you're unsure, we suggest giving CNV a try for 12 months. If it doesn't work for you, send it back to us with our 12-month money-back guarantee with free returns. There's no risk. There can only be benefits!
