What is oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress is a condition where an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants leads to cellular damage.
Chronic oxidative stress can impair hair follicle function, contributing to conditions like telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
Red light therapy helps mitigate oxidative stress by boosting mitochondrial antioxidant defenses, supporting healthier hair follicle environments resistant to damage.
