Red light & hereditary hair thinning
A closer look at the published evidence.
What was tested?
Men with hereditary pattern hair loss used a scalp-specific helmet combining lasers and LEDs around 655 nm. Forty-one participants completed the 16-week study.
What did the researchers find?
Hair counts improved more with the active helmet than with the sham device.
How to read the finding
This finding concerns light delivered directly to the scalp by a dedicated helmet. It does not establish hair regrowth from a full-body mat or benefits for brain function. Hair coverage, exposure and the cause of thinning matter.
