TLDR The laser scanner device was more effective at increasing hair density than the laser hat in treating androgenic alopecia.
In 2017, a study involving 90 patients with androgenic alopecia compared the effects of a 665 nm low level diode Laser Hat and a combination of 665 nm and 808 nm low level diode Laser Scanner on hair growth. The patients were divided into three groups: one using a laser hat, one using a laser scanner, and a control group. The results showed a significant increase in terminal hair density in both the laser scanner and laser hat groups compared to the control group. However, the laser scanner group had a higher increase in terminal hair density (mean of 9.61 per cm²) compared to the laser hat group (mean of 9.16 per cm²). The study concluded that the laser scanner device was effective and safe for the treatment of androgenic alopecia.
