Can Theradome Be Used for Hair Loss Associated With Psoriasis?

Many people experiencing scalp psoriasis also experience thinning hair or increased hair shedding.

Because psoriasis is an inflammatory scalp condition, customers often ask whether Theradome can be used as part of their hair wellness routine.

Psoriasis, Inflammation, and Hair Loss

Scalp psoriasis is associated with inflammation that may affect scalp health and contribute to hair shedding in some individuals.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as Laser Phototherapy (LPT), has been studied for its effects on various dermatological and inflammatory conditions.

Published studies have investigated the use of light-based therapies in conditions such as:

  • Scalp psoriasis
  • Seborrheic dermatitis
  • Shingles
  • Acne

Because these conditions involve inflammation, researchers have explored how laser therapy may interact with inflammatory processes in the skin and scalp.

Maximizing Scalp Exposure During Treatment

For Laser Phototherapy to reach the scalp effectively, the treatment area should be exposed to the laser light.

Individuals with scalp conditions may benefit from maximizing scalp exposure during treatment by:

  • Combing hair away from affected areas
  • Using the helmet on a clean scalp whenever possible
  • Ensuring the lasers have a clear path to the scalp

Some users find that slightly damp hair is easier to position away from treatment areas.

Consistency Matters

Laser Phototherapy is not typically considered a one-time treatment. As with many hair and scalp wellness routines, consistency is important.

Theradome treatments should be performed according to the recommended schedule, and users should maintain realistic expectations regarding the time required to observe changes.

Long-term, consistent use is generally recommended to maximize the benefits of Laser Phototherapy.

Important Considerations for Scalp Psoriasis

While Laser Phototherapy has been studied for inflammatory scalp conditions, Theradome is FDA-cleared for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss).

If you are managing scalp psoriasis, fungal scalp conditions, or another medical condition, it is important to continue following the treatment plan recommended by your healthcare provider.

Theradome should not be considered a replacement for medications or therapies prescribed by a physician.

Theradome for Convenient Home Use

Theradome PRO and EVO devices are designed for convenient home use. Many users appreciate being able to perform treatments from home rather than scheduling repeated clinic visits.

The hands-free design allows treatments to be incorporated into a regular hair care routine.
