Low level laser light therapy (LLLT) as an effective treatment for hair loss has been the topic of some pretty heated debates on TBT over the years. While LLLT is still not recognized by The American Hair Loss Association as an effective treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia, many respected experts in the field believe that certain devices on the market can actually help hair loss sufferers.
Clinical studies have shown that LLLT has been able to stimulate hair growth in mice with chemotherapy-induced alopecia, however the data for human hair growth might be considered by some as being more subjective. With that said, there does seem to be growing anecdotal evidence that these laser devices might just be doing something.
Check out Spencer Kobren and Alan J. Bauman, M.D., discussing the reality of LLLT therapy for hair loss and Dr. B’s recent appearance on The Doctors.
