    GlossaryLaser Hair Therapy (Laser Hair Growth Treatment)

    uses low-level lasers to stimulate hair growth and reduce loss

    Laser Hair Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate hair follicles, promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss. This therapy is often used to treat conditions like androgenetic alopecia and is believed to improve cellular function and blood flow in the scalp, thereby enhancing hair density and thickness.

      The conversation is about a user experiencing excessive hair growth on their body due to using topical minoxidil and dutasteride. The suggested solutions are shaving off the excess hair or considering laser epilation. It is mentioned that dutasteride does not cause extra hair growth, while minoxidil can stimulate hair growth in unintended areas. The user is advised to lower the dosage, concentration, or frequency of use and only apply the treatment to the desired areas.

      LLLT (low-level laser therapy) is as effective or better than traditional minoxidil treatment for hair growth, with fewer side effects and improved long-term compliance due to milder adverse effects. Studies show LLLT increases hair density more than minoxidil, but drawbacks include the initial cost and the need for long-term use to see results.
