Treatment of Hair Loss With an LED Device: The Importance of the Wavelength

The document discusses the treatment of hair loss using an LED device, emphasizing the importance of wavelength. It differentiates between hair loss with and without inflammatory causes, requiring different treatments. For non-inflammatory hair loss, such as from crash dieting, postpartum, or chemotherapy, red light at 630 nm is used. In cases with inflammation, like alopecia areata, a combination of infrared and red light is necessary for effective results. The presence of hair bulbs is crucial for regrowth. Clinical photographs were used to assess progress instead of biopsies, with images taken before treatment, after 5 sessions, and after 10 sessions. Treatment can be extended monthly if needed.
