What is apoptosis?
Apoptosis is the programmed death of cells, a natural biological process essential for tissue maintenance and health.
Red light therapy can help regulate apoptosis by supporting mitochondrial function, encouraging cell survival and reducing premature follicular death associated with conditions like androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
In hair restoration therapy, modulating apoptosis through light exposure helps maintain a healthier population of active hair follicles, slowing the progression of hair thinning.
