Theradome Results: Are We Talking Days, Weeks, or Months?

Most hair loss treatments seem to promise the world but deliver a mere fraction. We’ve all seen those too-good-to-be-true claims that barely move the needle.
But Theradome, the first-ever FDA-cleared wearable LPT device, is a real game-changer in the hair restoration market. This innovative device utilizes Laser Phototherapy (LPT), a cutting-edge technology that uses a specific wavelength of red light (680nm) to stop excessive hair loss, increase cellular activity, and promote hair growth.

Theradome is uniquely positioned as the only device that can claim to stop excessive hair loss, regrow hair, and thicken hair diameter, making it a standout in the crowded market of hair restoration solutions. Unlike competitors, which often cause initial hair shedding when first started, Theradome ensures a smooth journey towards healthier hair.

But here’s the million-dollar question that brought you here: How long before I see results using Theradome?

Theradome revolutionizes hair loss treatment with its powerful yet gentle technology. However, setting realistic expectations is key.

You’re probably wondering, are we talking days, weeks, or months for visible results?

It's not an overnight miracle, much like weight loss or gain, but the science-backed timeline might surprise you. Expect slow, steady progress with regular use.

What Makes Theradome Unique?

Compact, powerful, and wearable, Theradome combines scientific innovation with practical design, making it a standout choice for those battling hair loss. Invented by NASA scientist and laser expert Tamim Hamid, Ph.D., Theradome’s development is rooted in advanced scientific expertise, instilling trust and credibility in the brand.

The Science Behind Theradome

At the core of Theradome’s effectiveness is Laser Phototherapy (LPT). This technology uses a specific wavelength of red light—precisely engineered to be 680 nanometers within a small % margin plus or minus (+/-)—to penetrate the scalp and stimulate hair follicles. Unlike hot lasers used in surgeries, which generate significant heat, Theradome employs cold lasers. These low-level lasers emit light energy powerful enough to trigger cellular activity without causing damage to the scalp.

One of the key advantages of Theradome is its design. The helmet provides full-scalp coverage, ensuring that every part of the scalp receives the therapeutic light energy needed for hair growth. This design is not only convenient but also significantly more effective than other devices like combs, brushes, or bands, which require you to move the device slowly and hold it in place—an impractical solution for long-term use. Theradome offers 100% scalp coverage, is wireless, hands-free, and even talks to you, utilizing a single button for seven functions (patented). By covering the entire scalp, Theradome ensures that no area is left untreated, maximizing the potential for hair regrowth

The Timeline for Seeing Results

So, how fast does Theradome work? Patience, dear.

1. Days to Weeks: Initial Changes

In the initial days to weeks of using Theradome, don't expect a miracle right out of the gate. This period is all about setting the stage for those visible results everyone craves.

It’s the calm before the storm, where the light energy from the cold lasers begins its work beneath the surface.

The first few weeks are crucial.

The cold lasers start penetrating your scalp, reaching the hair follicles. This light energy stimulates cellular activity, boosting mitochondrial function and increasing ATP production—essentially turbocharging your cells' energy levels. During this phase, you may experience a significant decrease in hair shedding within the first 2-4 weeks.

Visible changes in terms of new hair growth might not be evident just yet, as this phase is more about laying the groundwork for what's to come.

2. Weeks to Months: Visible Improvements

Now, let’s talk about the real progress stages.

After the initial phase, things start to pick up. Typically, between 8 to 12 weeks, you might notice the first signs of improvement.

Hair shedding decreases – a promising sign that your follicles are waking up and responding to the treatment. It’s like your scalp is getting rid of the old to make way for the new.

The real magic happens as you continue to use Theradome consistently. The increase in blood flow and reduction of inflammation create a healthier environment for your hair follicles. With each session, the light energy keeps stimulating those follicles, pushing them from the dormant (telogen) phase back into the active growth (anagen) phase.

This is when you’ll start seeing thicker, stronger strands making their appearance.

3. Months: Significant Results

Fast forward a few months, and this is where Theradome really shines.
Around the 6-month mark, you’ll likely see significant hair regrowth.
The regular treatments have not only stopped further hair loss but have also encouraged new growth, increasing hair density and volume. You will notice fine baby hairs sprouting in thinning areas, growing longer, darker, and thicker with continued use. The most challenging and longest to fill area is often the crown in men, where hair fills in from the edges inward—a process we refer to as the “Bullseye Growth Effect”. With patience, even this area will see significant improvement.

Clinical studies back this up, showing that consistent LPT use results in substantial hair improvements over time.

Remember, individual results can vary. Factors like your overall scalp health, the extent of hair loss, and how diligently you stick to the recommended treatment schedule all play a role. Patience and consistency are your best friends on this hair regrowth journey.

We recommend you take photos every couple months to see the changes for yourself.

Theradome’s cold laser technology delivers the right dosage of light energy, ensuring safety and efficacy without heating up your scalp. By maintaining a routine of 20-minute sessions several times a week, you're giving your hair follicles the optimal environment to thrive.

So, while it might not be a matter of days, with dedication and consistency, the weeks and months ahead will reveal the full potential of this groundbreaking treatment. Stick with it, and your patience will be rewarded with healthier, fuller hair.

Factors Influencing the Timeline

Consistency

Consistency is the word when it comes to seeing results with Theradome.
Using Theradome as directed—precisely 20-minute treatments, 2-4 times a week depending on the model—ensures that your hair follicles receive the optimal dosage of light energy necessary for stimulating growth.

We recommend 2-4 times per week, depending on your Theradome model. While we have had patients who use our laser hair therapy helmets every day with absolutely no side effects and excellent results, it’s essential to follow our guidelines for best practices.

If you decide to go beyond our 4 times per week recommended usage, please allow 12 hours of rest between each treatment. Skipping sessions or not using the device regularly can delay your progress. It’s about creating a habit that fits seamlessly into your routine, ensuring you get the best results.

Individual Variation

Just as no two heads of hair are the same, the timeline for seeing results can vary widely from person to person. Factors such as the extent of hair loss, hair type, genetics, chronic stress, Medications, surgery, over-aggressive hair styling and overall scalp health can influence how quickly you see results.

Some users might notice changes within a few weeks, while others might need a bit more time to see significant improvements. It's essential to understand that while the device works for a broad range of people, individual results can differ based on these unique factors. So, don't be discouraged if your neighbor's timeline looks different from yours – patience is key in this hair regrowth journey.

Quality of the Device

The quality of the device you use can make or break your hair regrowth journey. Theradome stands out because it’s an FDA-cleared device, meaning it has been rigorously tested for safety and efficacy. Using a high-quality device ensures that you get the consistent light energy needed to stimulate hair follicles effectively.
Theradome's lasers are grown in Silicon Valley, CA, USA, ensuring the highest quality and precision standards. This is a key differentiator from competitors who import large quantities from overseas and cannot ensure proper quality control. Inferior devices might not deliver the same level of performance, leading to subpar results. Investing in a reputable, FDA-cleared device like Theradome is crucial for achieving the best possible outcomes in your hair regrowth efforts. After all, you wouldn’t settle for subpar ingredients in your favorite recipe, so why settle for anything less when it comes to your hair?

Wrap Up!

Theradome offers a scientifically-backed solution for hair loss, with a realistic timeline for seeing results. While patience and consistency are crucial, users can expect to see initial changes in a few weeks, with more significant improvements over several months. By understanding the science behind LPT and adhering to recommended usage, you can achieve healthier, thicker hair with Theradome.
By setting realistic expectations and maintaining a consistent treatment routine, Theradome users can look forward to achieving their hair regrowth goals. Remember, while the journey might require patience, the results are well worth the wait.
