Alopecia is a common disorder affecting more than half of the population worldwide. Androgenetic alopecia, the most common type, affects 50% of males over the age of 40 and 75% of females over 65. Only two drugs have been approved so far (minoxidil and finasteride) and hair transplant is the other treatment alternative.
In recent studies, low-level light therapy (LLLT) has been established as an effective treatment for alopecia.
Low Level Laser Therapy is effective and showed a significant effect on increasing hair density and hair thickness in androgenetic alopecia in both sexes.
Due to the improved blood circulation and energy management, the hairs become healthier and will grow quicker and thicker. Inactive hair follicles may become active again. In places with little hair growth, longer and more voluminous hair may start growing.
Laser therapy also helps to make a hair transplant more successful. The healing process will be quicker and better. Moreover, the quality of the hair will be better than without an after treatment.
LLLT is effective against hair loss because the light allows for an increase in ATP (an important fuel for cells) in the cell nucleus at the molecular level. Additionally, the red laser light ensures improved blood circulation, allowing your hair follicles to receive more oxygen and nutrients and preventing the damaging DHT molecules to adhere to your hair roots.

In this study, a helmet-type LLLT device showed a significant effect on increasing hair density and hair thickness in androgenetic alopecia in both sexes. Therefore, LLLT could be a safe and effective alternative monotherapy for androgenetic alopecia.

LLLT appears to improve a variety of non-scarring alopecias—AGA, AA, and chemotherapy-induced alopecia. Based on the studies demonstrating LLLT's effects on promoting graft survival, it may be further suggested to have a potential to be used during the immediate period of post-hair transplant surgery to facilitate the healing process and enhance viability and earlier growth of the grafts
