About Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity red light (usually at wavelengths of 630-670nm or 810-850nm) to illuminate the skin or scalp. This treatment stimulates the production of cellular energy (ATP), increases blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and may help improve hair health.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy for the Scalp
1. Promotes Hair Growth
- Stimulates hair follicles, extending the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.
- Increases ATP (cellular energy) production, enhancing follicle activity.
- May help with androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) and general hair thinning.
2. Reduces Inflammation
- Helps soothe conditions like scalp psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis.
- Lowers oxidative stress and calms irritated skin.
3. Improves Blood Circulation
- Encourages microcirculation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles.
- Supports healthier, stronger hair growth.
4. Strengthens Hair Follicles
- May reduce hair shedding by improving follicle health.
- Thickens existing hair strands over time.
5. Balances Scalp Oil Production
- Can help regulate sebum (oil) production, reducing greasiness or dryness.
