LLLT has been used for over 35 years in the healing of tissue, bone regrowth, wound healing, and pain management using its ability to generate a protein synthesis at the cellular level. In 1967, while experimenting with the effects on skin cancer, it was noted that the subjects who underwent LLLT grew hair where it had been shaved more quickly than the untreated groups.
True LLLT for hair regrowth will have FDA clearance.
