LOW-LEVEL LASER THERAPY

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is an FDA-approved hair loss treatment that uses focused light energy to stimulate a biological response and promote hair regrowth. Various devices are available, including in-office systems resembling salon steamers and home-use devices designed as hairbands or caps.

The low-level lasers in the headpiece target the scalp, and during treatment, some patients may experience a warm or tingling sensation, while others find it virtually painless. The light energy penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, where it is absorbed by cells to initiate cellular repair, ultimately supporting hair growth.

Is Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Effective for Hair Loss?

LLLT may be suitable for individuals seeking non-medication or non-surgical options. It gradually stimulates hair growth and helps reduce hair loss. Additionally, it can serve as a complementary treatment alongside medical therapy or hair transplant surgery by promoting faster wound healing and enhancing hair regrowth.

Safety of LLLT

LLLT requires no downtime and is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, results vary depending on individual response. Unlike medications, LLLT has no known systemic side effects, making it a convenient option for many patients.

Complementary Role of LLLT

While medications remain the first-line treatment for hair loss, LLLT can be an effective adjunct. It exerts its therapeutic effects externally, penetrating inward to support hair follicles, whereas oral medications work internally to address the biochemical processes contributing to hair loss.
