Frequently Asked Questions
Causes of hair loss in men and women
Before we discuss the solution, it is good to consider the possible causes of hair loss:
- Genetic predisposition (androgenetic alopecia)
- Hormonal fluctuations (such as pregnancy or menopause)
- Stress and tension
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Side effects of medications
- Medical conditions such as alopecia areata
For many people, hair loss is the result of multiple factors at once. Red Light Therapy can often support the restoration of the hair growth cycle.
How does Red Light Therapy work for your hair?
Red Light Therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, works with specific wavelengths (usually 630-670nm) that penetrate deep into the skin. This energy is absorbed by the mitochondria (the powerhouses of your cells) in your hair follicles. As a result:
- Hair cells are activated and restored
- Extends the growth phase of your hair
- Stimulation of blood circulation provides more nutrients and oxygen
- Inflammatory reactions on the scalp are reduced
This makes Red Light Therapy a powerful yet gentle way to stimulate hair growth.
Light therapy: proven effective against hair loss
There is now convincing scientific evidence that Red Light Therapy is an effective method to both reduce hair loss and stimulate hair growth. Clinical studies show, among other things, that Red Light Therapy:
- Improves blood circulation to the hair follicles
- Extends the hair growth phase
- Makes hair texture thicker and fuller
- Reactivates dormant hair follicles
Studies showing concrete numbers
Women with hormonal hair loss experienced a 51% increase in hair growth after treatment every other day with Red Light Therapy.
In a study of 41 men, they developed significantly more hair follicles than the control group.
A 2014 study showed an average increase of 37% in hair growth in women, without side effects.
