TLDR Low level laser therapy is effective and safe for various skin and hair conditions.
Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is widely used in modern medicine, including cosmetic dermatology, for treating conditions like wrinkles, acne vulgaris, hypertrophic scars, hair loss, cellulite, and burns. It can also reduce UV damage and increase pigmentation in disorders like vitiligo by stimulating melanocyte proliferation. The non-invasive nature and minimal side effects of LLLT make it a promising area for further research.
