Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive form of alternative therapy for different types of ailments and medical conditions, including hair loss. It is also referred to as cold laser therapy, photobiomodulation, soft laser biostimulation, and low-power laser therapy.
In cold laser light treatment, low-intensity lasers are administered on the affected areas of the body in order to stimulate hair follicles, improve healing, or aid in pain relief for the affected area. The lasers do not cause any destruction or inflammation of the body’s tissues. They also do not cause breakage of the skin or come in direct contact with internal tissues.
When this therapy is used on the scalp, the laser targets the hair follicles and stimulates the cells, which aids in hair growth. Low-level laser therapy has a multitude of benefits. It’s painless and non-invasive, and it has no side effects. LLLT may also make hair stronger, thicker, and softer following regular treatments.
The procedure for low-level laser therapy is quite simple. LLLT requires no preparation, and each treatment typically takes a short amount of time – less than twenty minutes – to complete.
After your treatment, you may return to your normal daily activities. No downtime or recovery time will be required after the procedure, and healing time is minimal.
