MINIMAL impact on dormant follicles. The mechanism: 650–660 nm lasers + 630–660 nm LEDs → energize follicle mitochondria → prolong growth phase → thicker, fuller hair Timeline: Week 4: Less shedding Week 8: New thin hairs appear Week 12: Noticeably thicker hair shafts Week 16–24: Density +35% measured Protocol: 15–25 minutes every other day using a helmet-type red/near-infrared light device targeting the scalp Your dermatologist says “use minoxidil & serums daily.” You do.
