Hair Regrowth Therapy
How does red light therapy work to regrow hair?
Red light therapy activates dormant hair follicles and works in the following ways:
- Boosts Cell Energy: Energizes mitochondria, leading to enhanced cellular energy and metabolism.
- Enhances Blood Flow: Ensures more blood reaches the scalp, combating root causes of hair thinning.
- Minimizes Inflammation: Fosters a healthier scalp and neutralizes threats like DHT, a byproduct of testosterone. Better-for-you, drug-free, non-invasive hair regrowth in the comfort of your home without the harmful side effects from drugs.
What is the Hair Growth Cycle and why does it matter?
Each of the thousands of hair follicles on your scalp undergo a hair cycle:
- Anagen: Growth phase, lasts 2-8 years. Strong, healthy hair grows from the root.
- Catagen: Transitional phase, lasts 4-6 weeks. Hair growth stops, detaches from the blood supply, and the follicle shrinks.
- Telogen: Resting phase, lasts 2-3 months before restarting Anagen. Here the old hair strand falls out and the follicle lies dormant before entering Growth phase again.
Red light therapy helps stimulate your follicles and move more of your hairs into the Anagen phase to grow back thicker and healthier. LEDs are highly effective and backed by over 50 years of NASA research and thousands of studies. Clinically, both lasers and LEDs have shown to combat hair loss. LEDs, unlike lasers, cover a broader scalp surface area – ensuring a uniform, deep-reaching light energy. What matters most when it comes to hair growth is the wavelength, power, and total energy delivered to the scalp.
Is initial hair shedding a common occurrence? Some users might observe initial shedding, signaling the replacement of old, weak hairs with thicker, healthier ones. This is actually a good sign and a natural part of the hair growth cycle. Although some notice reduced hair loss and shedding immediately, most users will witness visible results between 3 to 6 months due to the gradual nature of hair growth. You don’t lose hair overnight, so you can’t grow back your hair overnight unfortunately.
