What is estrogen?
Estrogen is a hormone that plays a critical role in regulating hair growth in women, particularly by prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.
Fluctuations in estrogen levels, such as during menopause or postpartum periods, can lead to temporary or permanent hair thinning in women.
Red light therapy may support hair regrowth by enhancing follicular activity, especially during periods of hormonal imbalance where estrogen-related hair loss occurs.
