What is a laser diode?
A laser diode is a semiconductor device that emits light at a specific wavelength, commonly used in low-level laser therapy (LLLT) devices for hair regrowth.
Laser diodes offer precision, durability, and consistent output, making them ideal for wearable or in-office hair restoration tools.
Red light therapy devices equipped with laser diodes typically target the 650–680nm range, stimulating mitochondrial activity and supporting follicle regeneration during the anagen phase.
