Red Light Caps for Hair Loss. Will they regrow your hair?

In this video, I talk about red light caps also known as Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation for hair loss in women and men. I explain how the devices work, if there is data to support their use alone and in combination with topical Rogaine or minoxidil. I also talk about who would be considered a good or bad candidate for Low Level Laser Therapy and side effects.
