Laser hair growth therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), uses gentle red or near infrared light to stimulate the hair follicles. The light penetrates the scalp, enhancing blood circulation and energizing follicle cells. This can activate dormant follicles, improve hair thickness, and promote healthier scalp conditions. The procedure is non-invasive and painless, making it a comfortable alternative to surgical hair restoration.

The treatment is most effective for individuals experiencing thinning hair, early-to-moderate hair loss, or increased hair shedding, especially if the follicles are still viable. Results are not immediate; most clinics recommend a series of multiple sessions, typically six to eight, for optimal results. Some people notice reduced hair shedding or a slight improvement in hair thickness within a few weeks, but significant visible regrowth usually appears after a few months of consistent therapy.

Laser hair growth therapy is generally considered safe when administered by trained professionals. Side effects are minimal, with most patients experiencing no pain or discomfort. However, the effectiveness can vary depending on the individual, the cause of hair loss, and how advanced it is. For best results, some patients combine laser therapy with other treatments, such as topical medications or PRP therapy. Maintenance sessions may also be needed to sustain hair growth over time.
