What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy (red light therapy) is a method of treating various problems in the body using low levels of red light. This therapy is believed to increase cellular energy levels and promote repair processes.
How Red Light Therapy Works
In Red Light Therapy, red light of a specific wavelength is irradiated onto the skin and hair follicles. This red light stimulates the mitochondria, small energy factories within the cell, to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the cell’s energy source and aids in cell repair and growth.
Red light therapy is effective in the treatment of AGA for the following reasons
1. Blood promotion
Red light irradiated to the scalp promotes blood circulation in the scalp. This provides sufficient nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles and promotes hair growth.
2. Cell activation
Red light stimulates mitochondria and stimulates ATP production, thereby activating hair follicle cells. This normalizes the hair growth cycle and reduces hair loss.
3. Reduction of inflammation
Red Light Therapy also has anti-inflammatory effects. The reduction of scalp inflammation keeps hair follicles healthy and promotes hair growth.
4. Promotion of collagen production
Red light also promotes collagen production. Collagen plays an important role in scalp health, strengthening hair follicles and supporting hair growth.
