Low Level Laser Therapy for Hair Loss

A non-surgical, painless treatment that uses targeted laser light to stimulate natural hair regrowth at Clinique Internationale.

Overview

What is Low Level Laser Therapy?

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a non-surgical method to treat hair loss. It has shown promising results in both male pattern and female pattern hair loss and has emerged as an effective alternative medical management option for hair loss patients.

In this procedure, laser light is targeted to the hair loss region through a laser helmet, which the patient wears while seated comfortably in the treatment room. There is no cutting, no injections, and no discomfort involved at any stage.

Each session lasts for 20–25 minutes. Patients usually require 2 sessions of laser therapy every week, for 6–8 weeks, to begin seeing optimal results, with continued improvement over the following months of consistent treatment.

The Science

How LLLT Stimulates Hair Growth

LLLT works by delivering low-level red and near-infrared light directly to the scalp, where it is absorbed by cells to boost energy production and reactivate hair follicles that have become dormant.

Key Biological Effects of LLLT

ATP
Cellular Energy Production

Laser light is absorbed by mitochondria in follicle cells, increasing ATP production and fuelling the cellular activity needed for hair growth.

BFC
Blood Flow & Circulation

Photobiomodulation improves microcirculation in the scalp, increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery to weakened hair follicles.

ANA
Anagen Phase Extension

Laser stimulation helps prolong the active growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle, reducing premature shedding.

DHT
Reduced Follicle Sensitivity

LLLT may help lower localised sensitivity of follicles to DHT, one of the key hormonal drivers of pattern hair loss.

INF
Anti-Inflammatory Effect

Low-level light reduces localised scalp inflammation, creating a healthier environment for follicles to function normally.

Mechanisms of Action

01
Light Absorption

Red and near-infrared wavelengths penetrate the scalp and are absorbed by photoreceptors within hair follicle cells.

02
Cellular Stimulation

Absorbed light energy activates cellular metabolism, encouraging dormant or miniaturised follicles back into active growth.

03
Follicle Reactivation

Repeated sessions progressively reactivate weakened follicles, thickening existing strands and encouraging new growth over time.

04
Sustained Regrowth

Consistent twice-weekly sessions build cumulative benefit, leading to visibly denser, healthier hair with continued use.

01
Scalp Assessment

The specialist examines the patient's scalp and current hair density to confirm LLLT is suitable and to set a baseline for tracking progress.

02
Helmet Fitting

The patient is seated comfortably and fitted with a clinical-grade laser helmet positioned to evenly cover the areas of thinning or hair loss.

03
Laser Activation

The helmet is switched on, delivering low-level red and near-infrared light directly to the scalp for the duration of the session.

04
20–25 Minute Session

The patient relaxes while wearing the helmet no discomfort, heat, or sensation is felt during the treatment.

05
Twice-Weekly Schedule

Patients typically attend 2 sessions per week for 6–8 weeks to build up the cumulative effect needed for visible results.

06
Progress Review

The specialist reviews scalp photographs and hair density at regular intervals, adjusting the treatment plan as needed.
