Alopecia or hair loss is a common issue amongst males and females. It can be due to many factors or diseases. One condition is androgenetic alopecia (in men) or female pattern alopecia. More than 50% of men deal with androgenetic alopecia.

Here I discuss a newer treatment option objectively that has studies behind it to show its efficacy and could be an option for both male and female balding/hair loss: Lowlevel laser therapy in the form of a cap that you can wear in the convenience of your own home. I emphasize that there is no “magic bullet” in treating hair loss but when you combine these available options as instructed, you may see results over several months of consistent use. The goal is to maintain the hair density you have at th moment but if you see hair regrowth with increased thickness, that is a bonus! I will also go over the hair cycle and the proposed mechanisms of action of lowlevel laser therapy. I also mention systematic reviews and papers that help support the science behind this technology.

This laser cap is convenient as you can use it at home (does not look like a space helmet like some other brands) and it is FDA cleared. It needs to be done on a consistent basis for it to potentially work. Not everyone will have results with any particular treatment and thus speak with your skin doctor on these treatment options especially before you jump in to invest in a device with your hard earned money. Please see your board certified dermatologist if you are having hair loss that is rapid or causing scarring. This video does not replace a visit with your doctor.
