LED Hair Regrowth Technology: Separating Facts from Fiction
LED Hair Regrowth Technology: Exposing Misleading Claims by Competitors
In the world of hair regrowth technology, innovation and integrity should guide product development and marketing. Unfortunately, some outdated companies have resorted to making false claims about newer technology in an effort to mislead consumers. As a leader in hair regrowth solutions, REVIAN is committed to setting the record straight with data-driven insights and holding competitors accountable for misleading consumers.
False Claims
Certain laser-based product companies have repeatedly misrepresented LED technology, claiming it is inferior to laser light for stimulating hair growth in an effort to make outdated technology seem relevant. Specifically, these claims state:
- LED light is “broadband and dispersed” and does not penetrate to the base of hair follicles for optimal growth.
- Lasers are the only effective light source for stimulating hair follicles.
These claims are scientifically inaccurate and potentially violate FDA regulations. The data overwhelmingly supports the efficacy of LED technology, debunking these myths entirely.
The Truth About LED Technology
Let’s set the record straight with facts and clinical evidence:
- LED light penetrates deeply: Research shows that LED light penetrates human skin 16% more effectively than laser light.
- LEDs provide uniform coverage: LEDs, due to the shape of the light emitted, provide uniform coverage of the scalp, ensuring consistent stimulation of hair follicles unlike lasers, which create limited coverage and even have dark area patterns due to their physical construction.
- LEDs have greater spectral widths: Light sources with a broader spectral width, such as LEDs, emit a wider range of wavelengths, enabling it to stimulate a more diverse set of photoreceptors, each sensitive to specific wavelengths. Lasers, due to their physical properties, are limited to one single wavelength.
- Superior clinical results:
- Results from clinical studies revealed the following changes in hair density:
- Revian Red® LED Cap: +26.3 hairs/cm² at 16 weeks.
- HairMax® Laser Comb: +19.1 hairs/cm² at 16 weeks.
- Minoxidil (Rogaine®): +16.2 hairs/cm² at 16 weeks.
- Finasteride (Propecia®): +11.6 hairs/cm² at 26 weeks.
- Results from clinical studies revealed the following changes in hair density:
FDA clearance and compliance
The FDA rigorously reviews all medical devices for safety and efficacy, including LED caps, before granting clearance. Any unsubstantiated claims about the effectiveness or limitations of an FDA-cleared device not only mislead consumers but also effectively question the FDA’s authority in regulating medical technology.
The Bottom Line:
Misinformation has no place in the hair regrowth industry. We understand everyone simply wants to find the best solution for their hair concerns. In order to do that, consumers deserve access to accurate, data-driven information to make informed decisions about their treatments. That’s why we’re committed to providing accurate and transparent information to help you make informed decisions without the false claims made by many companies with outdated laser-based technology.
