Red Light Therapy for Hair Loss

Hair loss is a natural process; most people lose around 100 hairs a day. However, this process can be accelerated due to poor diet, stress, age, hormonal changes, and medical conditions such as hypothyroidism. Hair can fall out in clumps and cause further distress—which leads to more hair loss. It’s a vicious cycle. Alopecia—also known as ‘spot baldness’—is a common disorder affecting more than half of the population worldwide RLT treats hair loss using low-level wavelengths of light to stimulate blood flow, improve oxygen delivery and increase metabolism, necessary for growth. 

RLT stimulates chromophores in  mitochondria (the powerhouse of cells) as they absorb the photon energy. This energy results in  increased cell metabolism, more ATP production and more oxygen utilization. Collagen and elastin are produced and blood flow is stimulated, resulting in cellular regeneration. In 2014, a study concluded that this procedure is safe, tolerable, and less invasive than hair transplants. In a 2013 double-blind randomized test, a study of 41 males found that this treatment grew their hair by almost 40% over four months.
