What the gurus are saying

Experts confirm red light therapy can boost blood flow to hair follicles and help with certain types of hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia. However, the key thing to know is that many causes of hair shedding resolve on their own without treatment, so the upfront cost may not be worth it unless someone has pattern hair loss or a mix of conditions; anyone concerned about hair loss should check with their dermatologist first to understand what's actually happening before investing in the device.

"I was using this for the neck and after 10 weeks I was so careful to try to get this in the same similar lighting and in the same angle that I took it. That's what it did for my neck."

"Red light therapy devices help to improve the metabolic health of the hair follicle and improve blood flow to the follicle delivering growth factors. It definitely can work and is evidence-based. It's mostly used for androgenetic alopecia but there is evidence that it can help with telogen effluvium. You do need to consider the fact that depending on where you're at in the telogen effluvium phase there's a good chance that it will resolve on its own. It's an upfront investment, and if it's something that is eventually going to go away and then you're left with this device, is that worth it? Probably not. That being said, some women have telogen effluvium and it unmasks an androgenetic alopecia, so if you're in that category then talk to your dermatologist or your doctor about your hair loss process, it might be a good option for you at home. But for run-of-the-mill hair loss, yes it can help for sure, get things back on track maybe a little faster, maybe cut down on the overall extent of shedding. But those things will also taper off in most cases and go away on their own without investing in the device."
