What are mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the energy-producing organelles inside cells, often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell.
Photobiomodulation (PBMT) enhances mitochondrial performance, increasing ATP production and supporting improved cellular repair and regeneration.
Because hair follicles are highly energy-dependent, boosting mitochondrial function through red light therapy plays a crucial role in stimulating new hair growth and improving follicle vitality.

Androgen Receptors
Mechanisms of Action
Androgen receptors are proteins inside cells that bind to male hormones like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), influencing hair follicle behavior and sensitivity.
Nitric oxide (NO) release
Mechanisms of Action
Nitric oxide release refers to the production of nitric oxide molecules that help regulate blood flow and cellular communication.
Dermal Papilla Cells
Mechanisms of Action
Dermal papilla cells are specialized cells located at the base of each hair follicle that regulate hair growth by interacting with surrounding stem cells and signaling molecules.
Growth Factors
Mechanisms of Action
Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that stimulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and healing.
