LASER HAIR GROWTH STIMULATION
Did you know more than 21 million women and 35 million men in the world suffer from hair loss? Do you experience post-Covid hair loss? Or maybe you lost lots of hair after giving birth?
Losing hair or receding hairlines can negatively affect people’s self-esteem. When your natural hair growth takes a hit, it can negatively affect your mental health. It happens when you see other people wearing different hairstyles that you cannot pull off.
Losing or thinning hair is often a dreadful experience for people. While men somehow manage to spend life with a bald look, it is rarely an option for women. This is perhaps why many people opt for various treatments, including pills and creams. While these treatments may help people restore their hair growth to some extent, they have side effects.
Fortunately, advanced treatments such as LED light therapy have revolutionized the industry, helping people battle hair loss. LED light therapy is an easy-to-choose, easy-to-use option for both men and women as a treatment for hair loss. Light therapy for hairlessness has shown promising results in many studies.
The process is natural and tremendously efficient to slow down hair loss without any disruptive and destructive side effects.
LED light therapy shows promising results as the best alternative to conventional methods. The therapy is effective for hair loss and other conditions like sun damage, arthritis pain, and nerve damage.
Red light therapy is a kind of phototherapy. It uses specific light wavelengths to decrease hair loss and inflammation, promotes skin tone, and accelerates healing. Primarily, red light therapy is an integrated part of the comprehensive light spectrum. Unlike ultraviolet light or infrared light, which are often invisible to the naked eye, red light is visible. Blue light helps with excess bacteria, fungus, mites, and other organisms that are living on our skin.
To put it simply, your body responds to red light the same way plants react to sunlight. While sun rays provide a full spectrum of different wavelengths (including infrared and red light), they also contain hazardous UVA wavelengths. Using only red light frequency, on the other hand, does not have any side effects.
Red light therapy is especially effective for hair loss when used in the 620nm to 660nm wavelengths. Typically, the light increases blood circulation in the scalp. It stimulates and reinforces the metabolism in your hair follicles. This results in improved production of hair.
Your hair growth stops when cells at the base of follicles, including papilla and matrix, stop functioning properly. The severe cellular issue (due to stress, genes, or any medical condition) may cause hair growth to slow or cease completely.
Red light works by penetrating the skin to the hair follicles and stimulating the cells, matrix, and papilla to produce energy. It results in successful replication in the cells at the base of the follicle. The replication leads to fresh hair growth from the previously dormant follicles.
- Stimulates Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) production. It is a coenzyme that fuels cellular structures. Increased ATP causes individual cells in the hair follicle to speed up their activities, including the rate of replication. Restored cell energy of the hair follicles stimulates the papilla to create more keratin, resulting in better and faster hair growth.
- Improves collagen production, which is crucial for keratin. While collagen is also protein, it is not present in your hair and plays an important role in growth. It is an antioxidant that fights damage due to free radicals (components that develop during environmental pollutants, stress, poor nutrition in the body, etc.). Free radicals can severely damage your hair follicles and contribute to the inability to produce hair. Improved collagen leads to less oxidative damage, thereby increasing hair growth.

- It has no side effects
- It improves hair strength
- Stimulating hair regrowth
- Reducing further hair loss
- Increasing hair density
- Improving the condition of your hair
Hungarian physician Endre Mester (1903–1984) was a pioneer of laser medicine, especially the use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT). In 1967, only a few years after the first working laser was invented, he started his experiments with the effects of lasers on skin cancer. He is credited as the discoverer of the positive biological effects of low-power lasers, which have been advocated as an alternative medicine for use in wound healing, smoking cessation, tuberculosis, temporomandibular joint disorders, and musculoskeletal conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Mester’s publications on the bio stimulatory effects of the low-intensity laser started in 1967. He performed early science experiments on the biological effects of laser irradiation. While applying lasers to the backs of shaven mice, Mester noticed that the shaved hair grew back more quickly in the treated group than in the untreated group.
LLLT stimulates stem cells, hair follicle bulbs, and shifting hair follicles towards growth faze.
LLLT is cleared for use in individuals with Fitzpatrick skin type I-IV only.
In the beginning, clients might experience hair fallout due to hair follicle bulb stimulation. Make sure you do not have malignant lesions in the area you want to be treated, get cleared by a doctor if you do. You might experience dryness and itchiness after the first few sessions. Sessions can be received three days after ammonia-free hair color service and services have to be stopped three days before the scheduled hair color service.
LLLT is an overall safe and effective modality for hair loss.
LLLT is recommended two to three times a week for 25min with day rest in between sessions. Hair and scalp have to be clean, preferably with chemical-free shampoos for the treatment. Results are visible after 2 months, best results are seen after 6 months of treatments

LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that enters the skin’s layers to improve the skin.
In the 1990s, NASA began studying LED’s effects in promoting wound healing in astronauts by helping cells and tissues grow.
Today, dermatologists and estheticians commonly use LED light therapy to treat a range of skin issues. Skin specialists often use LED light therapy together with other treatments, such as creams, ointments, and facials, to give you the best results.
LED light therapy helps treat a variety of skin concerns and conditions, including:
-
-
- Eczema.
- Hair loss.
- Mild to moderate acne.
- Psoriasis.
- Rough, scaly, precancerous spots on the skin (actinic keratosis).
- Rosacea.
- Sun damage.
- Wounds.
- Wrinkles.
-
LED light therapy isn’t appropriate for everyone, including people who:
-
- Take certain medications that increase their sensitivity to sunlight, such as isotretinoin and lithium.
- Have a history of certain conditions, including skin cancer and inherited eye diseases.
- People with epilepsy
In order to achieve the best results, home care of your hair and scalp is important. Avoid shampoos, conditioners, gels, and sprays that are not natural and/or organic. Eat food rich in healthy fats, and start taking Omega 3 oils.
