Has anyone here tried red light treatment for hair growth? Did it actually work? Do you use a comb or one of those sci-fi looking helmets?
I’m considering it, my dermatologist suggested it as an option. The units are just so expensive.

Yeah I’m on minoxidil. She just suggested red light as another option I could look into.
Corrected my post!

My hair dresser swore by finasteride, but if you have a penis and like to use it that's gonnaa probably be a hard no. Trans friend who did not care about using hers was ecstatic with the results on her mpb

My dermatologist said it could be a backup option. My hair loss is temporary and from a few mental health episodes last year. So I’m hoping that minoxidil helps with the recovery process.
I just had the realization that I could have even better hair then before, if I made the effort.

Mines thinning out a bit from menopause so i'm pondering playing with that powder shampoo. Not because its powdered, that's just a bonus, i want to at least get back to "not sunburning my damned scalp" levels.
Make sure your iron and vitamin levels are good too for hair!

So I read this as removal not growth and did a whole post on my Philips Lumea.
Did you mean red light therapy? Thats not a laser.
If that’s a yes, I’d recommend finding a place you can try it before buying. The panels are expensive.
I use mine for muscle inflammation. It took about 10 weeks to start to feel a difference (healing an old injury that will never be “normal”).
I’ve heard RLT being used for skin aging. I don’t know if it’s making a difference on that front. If it is, it’s probably just slowing my wrinkles.
I’m not sure the science on using RLT for hair growth is strong. All the peer reviewed papers are for skin care and muscle inflammation.
I’m surprised a derm wouldn’t give you an rx for minoxidil. Probably cheaper and proven to work.
