Consider low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as a potential Propecia alternative. LLLT devices use red light lasers or LEDs to stimulate hair follicles. Many studies show improved hair growth and thickness in men with androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness).
How LLLT Works
LLLT increases cellular activity in hair follicles. This boosts blood circulation in the scalp, delivering more nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles. The increased energy production may promote hair growth and prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. Typical treatment involves several sessions per week, with each session lasting 10-30 minutes. Results typically appear after several months of consistent treatment.
Choosing an LLLT Device
Select a device with a wavelength of 650-670 nm, as this range has shown the most promising results in clinical trials. Look for devices with sufficient power output (measured in milliwatts) and a reputable manufacturer. Consider user reviews and certifications before purchasing. Remember to follow manufacturer instructions carefully for optimal results. Regular use is key; consistency yields better outcomes.
