The growth of human scalp hair mediated by visible red light laser and LED sources in males

Low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been used to promote hair growth. A double‐blind randomized controlled trial was undertaken to define the safety and physiologic effects of LLLT on males with androgenic alopecia.
