Our Hair Growth Cap and How it Works?
The science behind our hair laser growth cap, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or red light therapy for hair loss, revolves around the principles of photobiomodulation and its effects on hair follicles and scalp tissue. Here's a closer look at the science behind it:
-
Photobiomodulation (PBM): Photobiomodulation involves the application of specific wavelengths of light to biological tissue. In the case of hair laser growth caps, the light emitted is typically in the red or near-infrared spectrum.
-
Stimulation of Mitochondrial Function: When the red or near-infrared light is absorbed by mitochondria, the energy-producing organelles within cells, it enhances cellular respiration and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production. This increase in cellular energy can lead to various beneficial effects, including enhanced cell proliferation and tissue repair.
-
Activation of Hair Follicles: Hair follicles are particularly sensitive to changes in cellular energy levels. By stimulating mitochondrial function within hair follicles, red light therapy can promote the transition of dormant follicles into an active growth phase, leading to the growth of new hair and the thickening of existing hair shafts.
-
Increased Blood Circulation: Red light therapy can also improve blood circulation in the scalp. Enhanced blood flow delivers oxygen, nutrients, and growth factors to the hair follicles, promoting their health and function. Additionally, improved circulation helps remove waste products and toxins, reducing scalp inflammation and creating a favorable environment for hair growth.
-
Reduction of Inflammation: Chronic inflammation of the scalp can contribute to hair loss by disrupting normal hair follicle function. Red light therapy has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, reducing inflammation and creating an environment conducive to hair regrowth.
-
Regulation of Oil Production: Excessive oil production on the scalp can contribute to conditions such as dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, which may hinder hair growth. Red light therapy can help regulate sebum production, leading to a healthier scalp environment.
-
Cellular Signalling Pathways: Red light therapy influences various cellular signalling pathways involved in hair growth regulation. These pathways include those related to cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation, which collectively contribute to the hair growth cycle.
Overall, the science behind our hair laser growth cap involves the application of specific wavelengths of light to the scalp to stimulate cellular activity, improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and create an environment conducive to hair regrowth.
