Clinical Evidence & Medical Backing
LLLT is one of the most researched non-invasive hair restoration treatments, with results validated in peer-reviewed studies:
-
A 2020 systematic review of seven randomised controlled trials found LLLT significantly increased hair density compared to placebo (SMD 1.27; 95% CI 0.99–1.64).
-
In a 17-week trial using a 650nm laser system, patients achieved a 51% increase in terminal hair count compared to baseline. (Jimenez et al.)
-
Another 24-week study using a laser helmet device showed measurable gains in both hair density and shaft diameter, with high patient satisfaction.
LLLT is also FDA-cleared in the United States and CE-approved in the UK and EU, confirming its safety and effectiveness as a clinical hair restoration option.
The Process
LLLT Treatment
At Cheshire MediGlow, we offer Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) using a CE-approved, medical-grade laser system to safely and effectively stimulate natural hair regrowth. This non-invasive treatment uses clinically proven red-light wavelengths to reactivate sluggish hair follicles, improve scalp circulation, and restore healthier, fuller hair—without medication, needles or downtime. LLLT has been widely studied and is FDA-cleared in the US for male and female pattern hair loss, with extensive clinical evidence supporting its role in hair density improvement and follicle stimulation.
How does LLLT Work?
LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy) works through photobiomodulation, a process in which low-level red light, typically in the 650–680 nm range penetrates the scalp to stimulate cellular energy (ATP) production in hair follicle stem cells. This light therapy also increases the expression of growth factors such as VEGF and IGF-1, which are vital for healthy follicle development. Additionally, LLLT enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to the scalp, creating an optimal environment for hair regrowth, while also reducing inflammation that can lead to follicle miniaturisation and shedding. As a result, dormant follicles are encouraged to re-enter the active anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, leading to visibly stronger, thicker hair over time.
Benefits of LLLT

No needles, no medication, no downtime
-
Clinically proven
-
Significant increase in hair density and thickness
-
Improves scalp health
-
Boosts blood flow and reduces inflammation
-
Ideal for hair transplant patients
-
Enhances graft survival and accelerates healing post-procedure
-
Safe for ongoing use
-
Suitable for both men and women at early to moderate stages of hair loss.
Exosomes are packed with repair signals that directly target the hair bulb. When microneedled into the scalp, they stimulate blood circulation, reduce follicle shrinkage, and encourage new hair growth. This makes them ideal for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), hormonal thinning, and general hair rejuvenation—without the side effects of hormone-based treatments
Who Is LLLT Suitable For?
Our treatments are suitable for men and women with early to moderate androgenetic alopecia, as well as clients experiencing postpartum or stress-related thinning. They are also ideal for hair transplant patients, both before and after surgery to enhance results and support healing. Individuals looking for a non-drug, non-invasive approach to hair restoration can benefit greatly, as can those combining therapies such as PRP, exosomes, or polynucleotides for optimal outcomes.
