Is red light therapy effective for hair loss?

Some studies suggest that red-light therapy, while primarily used to improve mood and energy, can also benefit hair health by stimulating hair follicles and improving circulation to the scalp. We explore holistic approaches like this as part of our commitment to comprehensive hair care. For example, red-light therapy can support hair growth for certain clients by boosting cellular activity, which is essential for healthy hair.

Red light therapy, also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT), has shown some promise in treating hair loss. Studies suggest that red or near-infrared light can stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. The light increases blood flow and energy production in cells, which helps hair follicles become healthier and regrow hair.

In my own experience, the Theradome helmet, a red light therapy device, has helped thousands of people grow hair. We've had thousands of customers use the red light therapy alongside other hair loss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants, and they've reported great collective results. Red light therapy seems to enhance the effectiveness of those other treatments.

Red light therapy (RLT) can be an effective treatment for hair loss in certain individuals, particularly for androgenetic alopecia. It works by stimulating hair follicles and increasing blood flow to the scalp, which can promote hair growth. The therapy is generally safe with minimal side effects and can be used alongside other treatments, like our own FULCRUM Fortify, a topical medication that contains minoxidil, finasteride, caffeine, and azelaic acid, or with exosomes, which help senescent cells resume their activity.
