655 nm LLLT laser caps · CapillusPro · iRestore · Theradome · androgenetic alopecia · 6 min EOD · FDA-cleared evidence.
What is scalp LLLT?
LLLT = Low-Level Laser Therapy. Cap with 80-272 655-nm laser diodes · full scalp coverage · stimulate hair follicle mitochondria + dermal papilla.
Mechanism: 655 nm absorbed by hair-follicle cytochrome c oxidase · ↑ATP synthesis · prolongs anagen growth phase · counters androgenetic miniaturization.
FDA-cleared Class II medical device for androgenetic alopecia men + women · robust evidence Avci 2014 meta-analysis.
Canon combo LLLT + topical minoxidil + oral finasteride (men): triple stack to maximize response in androgenetic alopecia.
Hair follicle anatomy
655 nm penetrates scalp 3-5 mm · dermal papilla + hair-follicle bulb target.
Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase · ATP synthesis +.

Protocol · 6 min EOD
EOD 3-4×/wk · 6 months minimum response.
Adherence
CapillusPro 6 min hands-free · iRestore 25 min sit-down. Adherence > intensity.
Maintenance
Stop = regression. LLLT requires lifelong maintenance like minoxidil.

How to measure response
Photo + density count.
6-month phototrichogram. Hair count + density densitometry · expect +20-35% terminal hair count baseline.
3-6 month standardized photo. Same angle + lighting · expect visible regrowth at temples + crown.
Self-assessment scale. Subjective scale 0-10 · expect +2-4 points at 6 months adherent use.
Caveats
Lifelong + AGA only + cicatricial alopecia.
- Lifelong adherence requirement: Stop LLLT = effect regression. Same as minoxidil · permanent maintenance.
- AGA only · NOT cicatricial: LLLT effective for androgenetic alopecia. Does NOT work for scarring alopecia (lichen planopilaris · frontal fibrosing).
- Photosensitivity: Verify photosensitizing medication · avoid overlap risk.
Synergies
3 hair stacks.
5% topical minoxidil + EOD LLLT · canon AGA combo men + women.
1 mg finasteride + LLLT + minoxidil = canon AGA men triple stack.
Weekly scalp microneedling + LLLT · increases minoxidil absorption + growth signals.
FAQ
3 questions.
Worth it vs minoxidil?
LLLT + minoxidil > monotherapy. If budget LLLT alone: +30-35% terminal hair count effect. Combo stack maximizes.
Does it work in women?
YES. FDA-cleared men + women AGA. Female pattern hair loss · LLLT canon. Does NOT work for acute telogen effluvium.
How long to see effects?
4-6 months adherent EOD see objective hair count change. Before that: subjective texture + reduced shedding.
