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.
