Low level light therapy effectivines

[Dior76]

Does someone know anything about the succes rate of low level light therapy for Androgenetic alopecia (male) When it comes to hair growth?. Found a small study saying 55% percent.

It is a scam. Don't buy the helmets.

It works but it's not very significant. There are far better things to spend your money on.

buying these helmets will only make you look dumb in mirror and nothing more.

I have a 1,200€ red light panel....been using it for a couple weeks, too early to tell if it works

I have a theradome, had it for years now, and I do use it.

It keeps me humble more than it helps with hair.

It's not reliable. Most studies are funded by the product maker and only test the effectiveness of one product at a certain set of parameters.

also need to be consistent

You probably don't have androgenetic alopecia then.

I do, diagnosed by a derm

I was initially skeptical , relative introduced me to it but it does seem to work

my hairloss is mild to be fair but I was still losing ground before LLLT - crown and hairline thinning. Crown has improved

I use the Igrow and I did notice some thickness in hair shaft texture over time…

It's a scam. How do led lights have any impact on androgens?

minoxidil doesnt either?

Low-level light therapy using a helmet-type device for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia: A 16-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, sham device-controlled trial

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss in both sexes. In recent studies, low-level light therapy (LLLT) has been established as an effective treatment for alopecia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy ...
