Looking for an effective hair loss helmet ? Choosing between LED and laser hair helmets isn't easy. Both photobiomodulation technologies promise to stimulate regrowth, but their results differ. Here's what you need to know before investing.
How does light therapy work for hair growth?
Red light therapy is based on a proven scientific principle: the emission of specific wavelengths (usually 630-680 nm) that penetrate the scalp.
The proven benefits of red light
This light acts directly on the hair follicles by:
- Improving scalp blood microcirculation
- Reducing follicular inflammation
- Prolonging the anagen phase (active growth phase)
- Reactivating dormant or miniaturized follicles
But be warned: to achieve these results, two factors are crucial: light intensity and targeting precision . It is precisely on these points that LEDs and lasers differ.
LED hair helmets: advantages and limitations
What is an LED helmet?
LED helmets emit a broad-spectrum red light. This more affordable technology emits a soft, diffused light across the entire scalp.
Who are they suitable for?
LED helmets are primarily suitable for:
- Maintaining healthy hair
- Preventing a minor fall
- Improving scalp health
Their limitations in the face of alopecia
LED light penetrates less deeply into the dermis. Its effectiveness is therefore limited to:
- Established androgenetic alopecia
- Significant and persistent falls
- The reactivation of already miniaturized follicles
Verdict : LEDs can complement a hair care routine, but do not constitute a complete anti-hair loss treatment.
Laser helmets: clinically validated technology
How do laser helmets work?
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) helmets emit a coherent, concentrated light that penetrates up to 8 mm deep into the scalp.
Proven effectiveness against androgenetic alopecia
This technology is FDA approved and recommended by dermatologists for treating male and female pattern baldness.
Expected results after 3 months of use
Users of laser helmets generally observe:
- A visible reduction in hair loss (up to 43% according to some studies)
- An increase in hair density
- Thicker, stronger, and shinier hair
- An improvement in hair diameter
Optimal usage protocol
To maximize results: 2 to 3 sessions of 20-30 minutes per week, for a minimum duration of 6 months.
LED or Laser: Which helmet should you choose depending on your objective?
Choose LED helmet if:
- You want to maintain the vitality of your hair
- You have not experienced a significant fall
Choose a laser helmet if:
- You are suffering from hair loss that persists over time
- You want clinically proven results
- Are you looking for a natural alternative to minoxidil or finasteride?
Why choose our HCT80 Helmet?
We selected low-intensity laser technology for our HCT80 helmet for three reasons:
- Scientifically proven effectiveness : More than 50 clinical studies confirm the results on alopecia
- Medical precision technology : 80 laser diodes emitting at 650 nm, the clinically optimal wavelength for stimulating follicles deep within
- Certified reliability : Device tested and validated by independent laboratories to guarantee safety and performance
- Complete approach : Works in synergy with a comprehensive protocol (densifying serum, microneedling, stimulating shampoo) to maximize regrowth.
