    GlossaryLaser Hair Therapy (Laser Hair Restoration)

    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.

      in Progress Pictures  76 upvotes 1 year ago
      The user has been on Finasteride for over a year and recently added minoxidil and derma rolling to their regimen, experiencing side effects like headaches and acne for a few weeks. They tried various non-medication treatments for early-stage hair loss with no success before turning to medication, which improved their hair and confidence.

      community Is it too early to start thinking about hair transplant?

      in Transplants  21 upvotes 10 months ago
      The conversation suggests waiting a few years before considering a hair transplant, as the current treatments (finasteride, oral minoxidil, PRP, and microneedling) may still yield results. Many recommend continuing with the current regimen and possibly adding dutasteride if necessary, while others advise against rushing into a transplant at 18.
