What is an autoimmune response?
An autoimmune response is a malfunction of the immune system in which the body mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues, including hair follicles.
This process can trigger various forms of hair loss, such as alopecia areata or lichen planopilaris. Chronic inflammation around the follicle can lead to thinning or scarring alopecia.
Red light therapy may help regulate immune activity by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair, offering a supportive approach to autoimmune-related hair conditions.
