What is vasodilation?
Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels, resulting in increased blood flow to tissues.
In red light therapy, vasodilation occurs through mechanisms like nitric oxide release, leading to better nutrient and oxygen delivery to target areas. This vascular response supports tissue repair and regeneration.
For hair restoration, vasodilation increases the availability of essential nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles, boosting follicle health and supporting the effects of therapies aimed at prolonging the growth cycle.
