Laser Cap FAQ’s

What is a laser cap?
A laser cap is a cutting-edge, non-surgical hair restoration device designed to combat hair loss and promote healthy hair growth. It utilizes low-level laser therapy (LLLT) technology to deliver therapeutic light energy directly to the scalp, stimulating hair follicles and enhancing hair regrowth.

How does a laser cap work?
Laser caps work by emitting safe and low-level laser light onto the scalp, which is absorbed by the cells in the hair follicles. This stimulates cellular metabolism, increases blood circulation, and triggers a series of biochemical reactions that promote hair growth. The laser light also helps to reduce inflammation and encourage the proliferation of healthy hair cells.

Are laser caps safe to use?
Yes, laser caps are completely safe to use. They are FDA-cleared for the treatment of hair loss and have undergone rigorous testing to ensure their safety and effectiveness. The low-level laser light used in laser caps is non-thermal, meaning it does not produce heat and poses no risk of burning or damaging the scalp.

Are there any side effects associated with laser caps?
Laser caps are generally well-tolerated and have minimal side effects. Some individuals may experience temporary scalp redness or mild tingling, but these effects typically subside shortly after each treatment session. Laser caps have a high safety profile and are considered a non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical approach to hair restoration
