Laser vs. LED Hair Therapy: What's the Difference?

Understanding Laser and LED Hair Therapy

Many hair growth devices use either lasers, LEDs (light-emitting diodes), or a combination of both to deliver light therapy to the scalp.

Although both emit light, they are different technologies and do not deliver light to the scalp in the same way.

Laser phototherapy uses a focused, coherent beam of light designed to reach deeper into the scalp, while LED light is broader and more diffuse.

Why Does This Matter for Hair Growth?

Hair follicles are located beneath the surface of the scalp.

To support follicular activity, light must reach the areas where the follicle is located.

According to Theradome's technology, medical-grade lasers deliver concentrated light energy designed to reach deeper follicular structures, while LED light is more dispersed and delivers significantly less light energy to the scalp.

Laser vs. LED: Key Differences

How Theradome Uses Laser Phototherapy

Theradome devices use medical-grade laser phototherapy (LPT) rather than LED-only technology.

Theradome's laser system is designed to deliver focused light to the scalp to support healthy follicular function and help maintain the natural hair growth cycle.

Laser phototherapy has been FDA-cleared for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in eligible Theradome devices.

InformationTheradome® delivers the highest dosage of laser light energy among OTC LLLT devices, providing effective and safe at-home therapy.

Why Consistency Matters

Hair growth is a gradual process.

Following the recommended treatment schedule helps maintain a consistent routine that supports healthy scalp and follicle function over time.

For best results, Theradome treatments should be used according to the instructions provided for your device.

In Summary

Laser phototherapy and LED therapy both use light, but they differ in how that light is delivered.

Theradome uses medical-grade laser phototherapy designed to deliver focused light energy to the scalp in support of healthy hair growth as part of a consistent treatment routine.
