Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) - How Does It Work and Is It an Effective Treatment for Hair Loss?

  • 4 min. read

Hair loss, a concern affecting millions worldwide, transcends mere aesthetics, often impacting individuals' self-esteem and psychological well-being. Its prevalence has spurred a global quest for effective treatments with varying degrees of success. Among these, Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) emerges as a beacon of hope. This innovative, non-invasive approach, distinct from conventional methods, uses specific wavelengths of light to rejuvenate hair growth, presenting a promising solution for those grappling with hair thinning and loss.

At Advanced Hair Studio, our global hair clinic network has pioneered the integration of LLLT into our wide range of hair loss treatments and procedures, offering Advanced Laser Therapy®. For over two decades, this treatment has been one of the cornerstones of our treatment programs, and over the years, we’ve helped tens of thousands of men and women in their fight to prevent hair loss and regain control over their appearance and confidence. Our commitment to excellence is further validated by rigorous clinical trials, including collaborations with esteemed institutions like Harvard Medical School and Monash University, solidifying Advanced Laser Therapy’s credibility as a potent weapon against hair loss.

Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss is a multifaceted issue that primarily manifests in various forms; however, the two most common types are androgenic alopecia and telogen effluvium. Androgenic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, is characterized by a genetic predisposition to hair thinning, primarily influenced by hormonal factors. This condition affects about 80% of the adult population globally. On the other hand, telogen effluvium results from stress, nutritional deficiencies, or medical conditions, leading to excessive hair shedding.

These conditions not only alter one's physical appearance but often carry profound psychological impacts, including diminished self-confidence and social anxiety. Current treatments, while varied, often come with limitations. They may offer temporary solutions, carry side effects, or fail to address the underlying causes effectively. This gap in treatment efficacy highlights the need for innovative approaches that are both safe and successful in comprehensively managing hair loss.

What is Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)?


Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a cutting-edge treatment modality that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to stimulate hair growth and rejuvenate hair follicles. Its origins trace back several decades, with the first use in promoting wound healing and reducing inflammation. Over time, its application expanded to address hair loss, marking a significant evolution in dermatological treatments.

At its core, LLLT operates by delivering low-level light directly to the scalp. This light energy, absorbed by the cells, triggers enhanced cellular activity and energy production. The process, known as photobiomodulation, stimulates hair follicles, potentially leading to increased hair growth and thickness.

Unlike other hair loss treatments that rely on pharmaceuticals or invasive surgery, LLLT offers a non-invasive, pain-free alternative. It does not involve any cutting, bleeding, medications, or chemicals, making it a unique and appealing option for those seeking a gentler approach to hair restoration. This distinction sets LLLT apart in the realm of hair loss treatments, offering hope to those seeking non-surgical solutions.

Clinical Evidence and Trials

The efficacy of Advanced Hair Studio’s Advanced Laser Therapy® programme for treating hair loss is supported by a series of clinical trials and scientific studies. Prestigious institutions like Harvard Medical School and Monash University have played a pivotal role in conducting research to validate the effectiveness of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). These studies have shown promising results, indicating that LLLT can significantly improve hair density and stimulate growth in individuals suffering from hair loss conditions such as androgenic alopecia and telogen effluvium.

The success of LLLT is further highlighted by numerous patient testimonials and success stories. Advanced Hair Studio has helped thousands of individuals, including many notable celebrities. Pat Cash, Shane Warne, Sachin Tendulkar, and Ryan Giggs are among the many celebrities who have undergone the Advanced Laser Therapy® treatment at Advanced Hair Studio. They each reported noticeable improvements in hair thickness, volume, and overall scalp health. These personal accounts not only reinforce the clinical findings but also provide real-world evidence of LLLT's impact, offering hope and reassurance to those considering this innovative treatment for hair loss.

Clinical Evidence and Trials

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is highly beneficial for individuals experiencing early to moderate stages of hair loss, such as those with androgenic alopecia or telogen effluvium. It is particularly effective in cases where hair thinning is evident, but active hair follicles are still present. However, LLLT's effectiveness diminishes in advanced stages of androgenic alopecia, where hair follicles are extensively miniaturized or completely inactive. In such cases, LLLT may not yield significant hair regrowth. For individuals facing advanced hair loss, alternative solutions are available.

Hair transplantation, which involve relocating healthy hair follicles to balding areas, and non-surgical hair replacement systems, offering cosmetic solutions to hair loss, are viable options. These alternatives can provide more pronounced results for those for whom LLLT is less suitable, ensuring a broader range of treatment possibilities for all stages of hair loss.

It took me 1 Year to decide whether I wanted to go through with the hair restoration procedure using a Natural Looking Hair piece. I did a lot of research and consulted with many people who had done the procedure.

I was convinced to go ahead due to the information session / in-depth knowledge and the excellent customer service skills of Sanjay- the manager.

I did the procedure 1 month ago and I can honestly say that it was the best decision ever. Advanced Hair Studio provides the best quality for the Hair Pieces. The staff takes the time to understand what you are looking for as a customer. They style your hair based on your facial structure and I must truly admit that their stylists are pure Artists! My favourite stylist is Mohamad from Lebanon. He does magic with his hands and I am always thrilled with the new styles/ suggestions he provides.

I must admit that AHS is on the more expensive side if you were to consider the other competitors in Dubai. However, it is all worth every penny spent! You will not regret it.

Do not over think it. Just go ahead an do the procedure. You will evolve into a whole new person! Believe me! :-)

I started losing my hair in my mid-twenties and in spite of trying all sorts of treatments it gradually got worse and worse. By my late twenties I started cutting my hair short. Whenever I tried to grow it, it used to look a mess and was impossible to style because of my receding and thinning. I was looking at doing a hair transplant for a while, but I kept delaying it in hope that there was some alternative.

When I was in my mid-thirties I first came across AHS. I was a bit skeptical but I thought I’d find out what they could do. I was expecting a sales pitch but what I learned about hair loss and hair restoration from them was presented in a straightforward and logical way, without lots of medical terminology. They take time to explain the root cause of the problem and explore all the different treatments.

I decided to go ahead with the treatment and as it turns out, having AHS fix my hair was one of the best decisions I ever made. I still cannot believe how good my results are. I just wish I’d done it 10 years earlier rather than wasting so much time (and hair!). I would urge anyone who is thinking of doing something to check them out.
