What are mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the energy-producing organelles inside cells, often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell.
Photobiomodulation (PBMT) enhances mitochondrial performance, increasing ATP production and supporting improved cellular repair and regeneration.
Because hair follicles are highly energy-dependent, boosting mitochondrial function through red light therapy plays a crucial role in stimulating new hair growth and improving follicle vitality.

Mechanisms of Action
Photobiomodulation (PBMT) is a therapeutic technique that uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate biological processes at the cellular level.
Hair Cycle Dysregulation
Mechanisms of Action
Hair cycle dysregulation refers to an imbalance in the natural phases of hair growth (anagen, catagen, telogen).
Androgen Receptors
Mechanisms of Action
Androgen receptors are proteins inside cells that bind to male hormones like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), influencing hair follicle behavior and sensitivity.
Dermal Papilla Cells
Mechanisms of Action
Dermal papilla cells are specialized cells located at the base of each hair follicle that regulate hair growth by interacting with surrounding stem cells and signaling molecules.
