Should I Try Low Level Laser Therapy (Laser Hair Restoration) For my Hair Loss?

This question comes from a member of our Hair Restoration Social Community and Discussion Forums:

I previously underwent two hair transplant procedures, and although the results are satisfactory, I’m looking to thicken my existing hair and do not want to undergo hair transplant surgery again. Is Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or laser hair restoration an option? Is this method effective? Should I try low level laser therapy for my hair loss?

Low Level Laser Therapy (laser hair restoration) is a pretty controversial topic within the hair restoration community. Certain hair restoration experts believe there is some efficacy to laser therapy, and even offer laser sessions in their practices.

Other experts believe that the research behind laser therapy is greatly lacking and raise some valid concerns with regard to the mechanism behind laser therapy, the way the treatment is marketed, and its validity compared to hair transplantation. While studies exist that show some effectiveness in hair regrowth, many hair loss doctors feel that more research is needed. Thus, I think it’s probably safest to utilize proven hair loss treatments like Rogaine (minoxidil), Propecia (finasteride).
