TLDR Low-level laser therapy can stimulate hair growth and increase hair density, making it a promising treatment for hair loss.

The paper "Low Level Laser Therapy on Treating Hair Loss" by Rabab R. Ibrahim et al. discusses the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in treating male pattern hair loss (MPHL) and female pattern hair loss (FPHL). The paper presents several experiments on animals and humans, showing that LLLT can stimulate hair growth and increase hair density. A 2014 study with 269 participants (128 males and 141 females) showed increased hair density within 26 weeks of starting treatment. The paper concludes that LLLT is a promising, safe, and effective method for treating hair loss, but more research is needed.
