Do you find yourself avoiding get-togethers and work interactions because of hair loss? It can be really disheartening to watch your hairline recede or see your hair thinning. You might have spent hours looking for miracle products, only to feel let down because they don’t work. That’s where low-level laser therapy comes in. It’s noninvasive, fast, and convenient to regrow a full head of hair with no needles or downtime involved.
What is Low-Level Laser Therapy?
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also known as red light therapy, is a noninvasive treatment that uses gentle, low-intensity light to encourage hair regrowth. LLLT devices use red or near-infrared light, usually in the range of 630 to 670 nm. This wavelength penetrates the scalp well, helping to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth without hurting your skin or nearby areas.
There are various LLLT devices you can use, but the most popular are laser caps. The treatment is painless, and each session usually lasts between 15 to 30 minutes. We recommend consulting a qualified provider to get a personalized treatment plan.
Pros
- Non-invasive and painless: No needles, no incisions, no discomfort.
- Convenient: You can use it at home, so no need to keep going to a clinic.
- No downtime: You can get back to your usual activities right after the session.
- Safe: Safe: It’s approved by the FDA for treating pattern hair loss and has minimal side effects without damaging your skin
- Clinically proven: There is clinical evidence showing that it can help with hair growth and slow down hair loss.
Cons
- Requires consistency: You need to use it regularly over a long period to see results.
- Variable results: Not everyone will see the same level of improvement.
- Cost: High-quality devices can be quite expensive.
- Time commitment: Although laser treatment using laser caps only takes 15-30 minutes on average, you will need to wear the device daily for at least 6 months.
Does Laser Therapy Really Work?
Laser therapy hair treatments work for all individuals regardless of age, gender, genetics, or hair. But it’s important to remember that results can be different for everyone. Studies show that many patients see their hair get thicker and denser. But how well it works depends on factors like why you are losing hair, how early you start treatment, and how your body responds.
LLLT is especially effective for pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) and is FDA-approved for this. It works by stimulating your hair follicles, boosting cellular activity, and increasing blood flow to your scalp. While it might not work for everyone, many of our patients notice significant improvements in hair growth and less hair loss with regular use.
Best Device for Laser Therapy for Thinning Hair
At Miami Hair Institute, we use the Capillus MD, the most powerful laser device for thinning hair. Inside the cap are 320 laser diodes that work hard to improve the quality of your hair and help restore it.
Using the Capillus MD at home is super easy. All you have to do is wear the cap for just 6 minutes a day. It’s that simple and convenient.
If you’ve had a hair transplant, the Capillus MD can help keep the rest of your hair healthy. It’s been shown to prevent more thinning over time and helps the hair around your transplant stay strong. Plus, it speeds up healing after the surgery.
