What is Photobiomodulation?

Photobiomodulation, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), involves using a device to deliver light to the scalp to stimulate hair growth. This technology is thought to increase energy production in cells and promote healthier hair. It's generally used several times a week for best results.

Efficacy and Safety

Studies show that photobiomodulation can be beneficial for hair growth, but results can vary. It's generally well-tolerated, with minor side effects like headaches or scalp irritation. Consulting a healthcare provider can help determine if this is a suitable option for you.

Other Hair Loss Devices

In addition to LLLT, other devices like microneedling pens are being explored for hair loss treatment. These devices create tiny injuries in the scalp to boost collagen production and enhance absorption of topical treatments. Their effectiveness and safety are still under investigation.
