7 Laser Hair Therapy Myths Debunked

Over the years, Theradome's PRO and EVO laser therapy helmets have helped thousands of people combat hair loss. However, despite many success stories, some individuals remain hesitant to try laser hair growth therapy, often due to myths they've come to believe as fact.

To help ease any doubts, here are seven common myths about laser hair therapy debunked:

1. Laser Phototherapy is Painful

This is one of the most common misconceptions, but it couldn't be further from the truth. For instance, Theradome uses low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with a wavelength of 680 nm, specifically designed for deep penetration into the scalp without generating any heat. In fact, the lasers are actually cool to the touch. This wavelength allows the lasers to stimulate follicles and encourage hair regrowth safely and painlessly.

2. Laser Hair Growth Therapy Doesn’t Work

This myth is easily debunked by the overwhelming evidence of success stories and clinical studies that prove otherwise.

Regular use of Theradome’s PRO or EVO helmets for just 20 minutes per session has been shown to effectively stop hair loss, regrow hair and thicken the diameter of each strand. Time and time again, users report seeing fuller and healthier hair after consistent use of the PRO LH80 or EVO LH40, with results backed by real-life transformations.

3. Laser Phototherapy Doesn’t Work for Men

One of the strangest misconceptions about laser hair growth therapy is that it's only for women. While it's true that women often have fewer hair restoration options - since hair loss in women tends to be more diffuse and harder to treat surgically - men are equally strong candidates for laser hair growth therapy.

Theradome’s PRO LH80 and EVO LH40 helmets are designed for both men and women, offering a safe and effective solution to hair loss regardless of gender.

4. Laser Hair Growth Therapy Only Works with Certain Hair Colors

This myth seems to surface with nearly every hair color, but it's completely false across the board. Hair color simply doesn’t affect the effectiveness of laser hair growth therapy.

Theradome’s PRO LH80 Laser Hair Growth Device has been successfully used by people with all hair colors, from blonde to brunette, redhead, and even gray. Regardless of color, users consistently report positive results thanks to the device's red light therapy technology.

5. Laser Phototherapy Produces Unhealthy Hair

This is another misconception. The truth is, hair loss therapy is most effective when started at the first sign of thinning or unhealthy hair, as waiting until baldness is widespread can lead to a longer recovery period.

However, this doesn’t mean laser phototherapy won’t work on larger bald areas. In fact, Theradome’s PRO LH80 and EVO LH40 helmets can help reactivate dormant hair follicles, even after years without new growth.

6. Laser Hair Growth Therapy Will Miraculously Cure My Hair Loss

While laser phototherapy has been shown to deliver great results for many users, it's important to set realistic expectations as it isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. For some individuals, laser therapy may not be enough, and it’s always a good idea to consult with your doctor or a hair loss specialist to determine the best treatment for your specific needs.

This also ensures there are no underlying medical conditions like thyroid issues that should be addressed before starting red light therapy. If you're unsure where to start, Theradome can help connect you with a trusted hair loss expert to guide you on your journey.

7. Laser Hair Therapy is Expensive

Contrary to popular belief, laser phototherapy costs aren’t a fortune. Theradome’s PRO LH80 and EVO LH40 helmets come with a one-time cost, offering a long-term solution to hair loss. Specifically, Theradome LPT devices are designed for a lifetime of use, providing up to 18,000 treatments. With consistent use, the results speak for themselves, making it a smart and affordable investment.

Plus, both the PRO and EVO are FDA-cleared to treat androgenetic alopecia (hair loss), making them an ideal choice for your hair restoration journey. Revitalize your hair and reclaim your confidence with Theradome. Don’t wait - start your journey to fuller, healthier hair today!
