Derm Explains! Red Light for Hair Growth

[0:00]One thing I wish more people knew about hair loss as a board certified dermatologist who specializes in it, is that red light therapy is not a gimmick. It works in several different ways. It energizes hair follicles, it increases blood flow to the scalp, it even decreases follicle DHT levels, which is a hormone that plays a big role in hair loss. Now, the key is you have to use a high quality device that also uses the appropriate wavelengths of red light, which is about 620 nanometers to 660 nanometers. Those are the clinically proven wavelengths that are going to keep your hair in the growth phase. Now, I've always recommended red light therapy to my patients as part of a comprehensive hair growth plan, and lately, I've been really impressed with this device from Current Body. Of course, it has all the appropriate specs to get you the hair growth that you're seeking, but it's also comfortable, it comes in multiple sizes, and you can make adjustments to how it fits your head. It's cordless, so you don't need to be plugged in while you're using it and it's only 10 minutes a day, which makes it really easy to stay consistent, which is key with any hair loss intervention. If you're considering adding red light therapy to your routine, I do have a 10% off discount code for this device and you can find those details in the caption.
