TLDR Phototherapy is a safe and effective treatment for hair loss, but choosing the right power level is important.
This systematic literature review examines the effects of high and low-power phototherapy on hair growth and repair in patients with different types of alopecia, including androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium. The study highlights that both high and low-power phototherapy can effectively stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. However, the specific type of hair loss being treated may influence which device is most suitable. The conclusion emphasizes that capillary phototherapy offers a safe and effective treatment option for individuals with alopecia or baldness, but selecting the appropriate power level is crucial for achieving effective results.
