Can I Use Products Containing Alpha Hydroxy Acids and Salicylic Acid with Theradome?

Many customers ask whether it is safe to use Theradome while using skincare products or medications that may increase sensitivity to light, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and salicylic acid.

The good news is that Theradome does not interfere with these products.

Can I Use Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Salicylic Acid with Theradome?

Yes.

Products containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and salicylic acid can generally be used while undergoing Theradome treatments.

Theradome operates using Laser Phototherapy in the red and near-infrared spectrum, which differs from ultraviolet (UV) light.

Because AHAs and salicylic acid are primarily associated with increased sensitivity to ultraviolet light, they do not typically interact with the wavelengths used by Theradome

Why Light Sensitivity Matters

Certain skincare products and medications may increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight and ultraviolet (UV) exposure.

This is known as photosensitivity.

Theradome does not use ultraviolet light. Instead, it uses therapeutic red laser energy designed to support hair growth through Laser Phototherapy.

As a result, Theradome treatments do not create the same concerns commonly associated with UV exposure.

Using Hair and Scalp Products During Treatment

Many Theradome users continue using their normal hair and scalp care products while following their treatment routine.

If you are using prescription medications or specialty scalp treatments, it is always a good idea to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding their use.
