    TLDR Combining rosemary oil with light therapy may improve hair loss treatment.
    This review explores the use of rosemary essential oil combined with photobiomodulation (FBM) for treating androgenetic alopecia (AAG). Rosemary oil is noted for its antioxidant, vasodilatory, and anti-androgenic properties, while FBM enhances respiratory activities, blood circulation, and ATP synthesis, aiding cell proliferation, repair, and regeneration. The combination of FBM with phytotherapy treatments like rosemary oil may enhance the effectiveness and desired outcomes in AAG treatment.
