Low Level Laser
Therapy

Low level laser therapy (LLLT) uses devices with diodes that emit red light with a specific wavelength of 630-670 nanometers. It is not like routine ablative lasers used for skin treatment. This is low level laser light. It increases blood flow in the scalp and thereby stimulate metabolism in catagen or telogen follicles (which are ‘weak’ follicles), resulting in the production of anagen hair (it is ‘strong’ follicle that gives long hair).

The Mechanism of action is:

1. The photons of light act on Cytochrome C oxidase leading to the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This is converted to cyclic AMP in the hair follicle cells, releasing energy and stimulating metabolic processes necessary for hair growth.
2. Release of nitric oxide (NO) from cells leads to increased vascularisation to the scalp distributing nutrients and oxygen to the hair roots.
3. Excessive build-up of DHT is prevented

We recommend patients to take treatment from our in-clinic use stations if it is possible for them. For patients who are not able to come to clinic frequently. we recommend home use helmet or caps. Hand held laser combs are not much effective. We don’t really recommend it.
