Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive treatment for hair loss that uses low-level laser light to stimulate hair growth. This therapy is based on the theory that the laser light can penetrate the scalp and stimulate the hair follicles, leading to increased hair growth.
LLLT for hair loss typically involves using a device that emits low-level laser light onto the scalp. The laser light is absorbed by the hair follicles, which then leads to increased blood flow and nutrient delivery to the hair follicles. This, in turn, can lead to increased hair growth and improved hair quality.
Several studies have shown that LLLT can be an effective treatment for hair loss. In a clinical trial published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, for example, researchers found that LLLT was an effective treatment for male and female pattern hair loss, with participants experiencing significant improvements in hair density and thickness.
LLLT is also a safe and non-invasive treatment option for hair loss. Unlike other hair loss treatments, such as medications or surgery, LLLT does not require any incisions or injections, reducing the risk of complications and minimizing recovery time.

Post procedure care
Avoid washing your hair immediately after the procedure.
Avoid using hair products immediately after the procedure, as they may interfere with the absorption of the laser light.
Do not expose your scalp to direct sunlight or heat immediately after the procedure, as this can cause irritation and inflammation.
Avoid wearing tight hats or headbands immediately after the procedure, as they can interfere with the healing process and cause irritation.
Follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by doctor, such as using a special shampoo or conditioner to promote hair growth.
Keep in mind
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for hair loss is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, with few reported side effects. However, like any medical procedure, there are potential side effects that you should be aware of. Here are some of the most common side effects of LLLT for hair:
Some people may experience mild scalp irritation, such as itching or redness, after LLLT treatment. This usually resolves on its own within a few days.
In some cases, LLLT treatment may cause mild headaches, particularly if the treatment is done for an extended period.
Some people may experience an initial increase in hair shedding after LLLT treatment, which is usually temporary and followed by regrowth.
LLLT is a type of laser therapy, and it is essential to wear eye protection during the treatment to avoid potential eye injury.
It’s important to note that serious side effects of LLLT for hair loss are rare, but they can occur if the treatment is not administered correctly or if the patient has underlying medical conditions.
If you are undergoing this treatment for the first time, prior consultation with our doctor is necessary to achieve the best result.
