Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

LLLT uses specific red-light wavelengths to stimulate the energy-producing centres of cells in your scalp. It does not cut, burn, or use chemicals — patients sit comfortably under a hood for 15–20 minutes. As an adjunct to a full hair-fall plan it consistently improves density and shaft thickness.

What to expect

A measured, three-stage process.

Step 01

Scalp check

Trichoscopy to confirm LLLT is appropriate for your pattern.

Step 02

Sessions

You sit under a hood of red-light diodes for 20 minutes per session, with protective goggles covering your eyes throughout. Twice-weekly initially, tapering as response is documented.

Step 03

Layered plan

LLLT sits alongside topicals or GFC — rarely as a sole therapy. Photographic and trichoscopy review at 12 and 24 weeks.

FAQ

Common questions about Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT).

Will LLLT alone regrow my hair?

Honest answer: in most patients, no. It is best thought of as an amplifier for the rest of the plan, not a stand-alone fix.

Are there side effects?

None of significance. The light is non-thermal and contains no UV.

How long until I see a change?

Reduced shedding from 6–8 weeks; visible thickening typically by 12–16 weeks.
