Did you mean Near-Infrared Light?

Glossary Near-Infrared Light

refers to wavelengths just beyond visible light, around 700-2500 nm

Near-Infrared Light (NIR) refers to a segment of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths just beyond the visible light range, typically from about 700 to 2500 nanometers. It is commonly used in medical imaging, remote sensing, and therapeutic applications due to its ability to penetrate tissues more deeply than visible light, making it useful for non-invasive diagnostics and treatments.

community : 3-Year Transformation: How adding an LLLT Cap finally stabilized my 200+ hair/day shed (Fin/Min/Niz/LLLT)

322 upvotes 4 months ago

Adding an LLLT laser cap to a routine of finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole shampoo significantly reduced hair shedding from 200+ hairs a day to around 80, improving scalp health. The user attributes the laser cap as the key factor in stabilizing hair loss after two years of using other treatments.

community South Korean Red Light Therapy Study

41 upvotes 7 months ago

Korean scientists developed a red light therapy that reduces a hair loss marker by 92%. Users discussed the benefits and drawbacks of natural sunlight versus red light caps for hair health, with some suggesting supplements for vitamin D.

community Combining daily microneedling and redlight is a game changer

in Microneedling 22 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses using daily microneedling at 0.25mm and red light therapy to enhance hair regrowth, especially when traditional treatments like finasteride and minoxidil become less effective. The combination is said to improve hair density and thickness, with red light therapy being more cosmetic, while microneedling is essential for challenging areas.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
