What are growth factors?
Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that stimulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and healing. They play an essential role in tissue regeneration and follicle development.
In the context of hair health, growth factors encourage the transition of hair follicles into the growth (anagen) phase and support regeneration after damage from hormones, stress, or inflammation.
Red light therapy can help stimulate the release of certain growth factors locally in the scalp, making it a valuable non-invasive tool for enhancing follicular response and promoting regrowth.
