October 2024 in “Photodermatology Photoimmunology & Photomedicine” In this study, participants with androgenetic alopecia who used an LED helmet emitting red and green light experienced significant improvements in hair growth measures, with red light showing superior results in increasing hair diameter and reducing vellus hair density over 6 months.
January 2024 in “Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine” This study observed that LED therapy improved hair regrowth and reduced hair loss in patients with post-COVID telogen effluvium, with or without androgenetic alopecia, compared to those who did not receive LED treatment.
August 2019 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that exposure to red LED light may improve fibre quality and hair follicle development in Angora rabbits, potentially due to increased melatonin secretion.
