Appointment: Usually 20 to 30 min. Plan: Frequent course or adjunct. Downtime: None expected. Results: Subtle and cumulative.
Indicative guide only. Exact timing, course, recovery and suitability are confirmed after assessment.
How it works
The mechanism, without the marketing
LED therapy for hair uses red and near infrared wavelengths to support cellular activity and the scalp environment without needles or heat injury. It is often combined with medical or regenerative hair pathways because its effect alone is usually modest. Device quality, wavelength, dose and consistency matter.
What we assess
The details that change the plan
Type and stage of hair loss
Scalp inflammation and photosensitivity
Medicines or conditions that increase sensitivity to light
Whether investigation or medical treatment is required first
Before, during & after
What the appointment may involve
Before, assessment: A diagnosis led plan is agreed and appropriate eye protection used. Photosensitising medicines and products are reviewed.
During, treatment: The scalp is positioned beneath the medical LED array for a timed session. The treatment is non invasive and should be comfortable.
After, recovery: There is no expected recovery period. LED may be scheduled around injections or microneedling when clinically appropriate.
Results, course & recovery
What changes, and when
Any benefit is gradual and requires consistency. Progress should be reviewed with standardised photography rather than relying on day to day impressions.
Limits, risks & alternatives
The part that should never be hidden
LED cannot restore follicles destroyed by scarring, replace investigation of rapid shedding or guarantee increased density. Home devices and clinic devices are not equivalent. Medication, PRP or PRF, polynucleotides, transplant assessment or dermatology may be needed.

Still wondering?
Can I book this treatment immediately?
Treatment can only proceed after suitability, risks, alternatives and consent have been discussed. Your consultation is free and does not obligate you to proceed.
Will I need a course?
That depends on the indication and your response. We will explain what is essential, what is optional and when it is reasonable to review before committing further.
Are results guaranteed?
No medical aesthetic treatment can guarantee a specific outcome. We discuss likely benefit, uncertainty, downtime and risk before a decision is made.
