Purpose of Treatment
Low Light Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate hair growth and improve the quality of hair through the use of specific wavelengths of light. LLLT has been shown to promote hair growth in certain individuals experiencing hair thinning or hair loss.
How LLLT Works
LLLT uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that penetrate the scalp, improving cellular function and stimulating the hair follicles. Treatment efficacy varies by individual and may depend on factors such as the degree of hair loss, underlying causes, and adherence to the treatment schedule.
Potential Benefits
- Stimulation of hair follicles for new hair growth
- Improvement in hair density and strength
- Reduction in hair shedding
Possible Risks and Side Effects
While LLLT is generally safe and well-tolerated, potential risks and side effects may include:
- Mild scalp discomfort or irritation
- Temporary redness or warmth of the treated area
- Potential for minimal improvement in hair growth
Treatment Schedule and Recommendations
The standard treatment plan requires a commitment to at least 16–24 sessions over a period of 3–6 months, with treatments scheduled 2–3 times per week.
