What is diffuse thinning?
Diffuse thinning refers to uniform hair loss across the entire scalp rather than in defined patches or regions.
This condition can be caused by stress, illness, medication, or hormonal imbalances and often leads to a general reduction in volume and density.
Red light therapy can help by stimulating blood flow and cellular energy in follicles across the scalp, potentially reversing thinning when underlying causes are also addressed.
