What is the parietal scalp?
The parietal scalp refers to the sides of the head, above and around the ears, where hair thinning may begin in some individuals with pattern hair loss.
This region is often less affected by DHT than the crown or frontal scalp, making it an important area in surgical planning and growth analysis.
Red light therapy devices that offer full scalp coverage can ensure that parietal regions are also stimulated to maintain density and slow regional thinning.
