Summary

This trial aims to study the effects of low level laser therapy (LLLT) devices on promoting hair growth in individuals with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The study will compare a low-fl

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 25 or older with Androgenetic Alopecia (commonly known as male pattern baldness), who haven't treated it recently, or have stopped previous treatments for at least 6 months. Men should be in the early to moderate stages of hair loss, while women can also join if they're experiencing certain patterns of thinning. Participants must have skin types I to IV according to the Fitzpatrick scale.
What is being tested?
The study tests three different scalp treatments using laser caps: a fake 'Sham' LaserCap that doesn't emit real lasers, a 'LaserCap SD' with low energy emission, and a 'LaserCap HD+' with high energy emission. The goal is to see if higher energy levels from these caps can increase hair density more effectively than lower levels or no treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive laser therapy devices, side effects are expected to be minimal. However, potential side effects might include scalp irritation or redness due to light exposure from the laser devices.
