FolliFlow Red Light Therapy – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

1. What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy (RLT), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular energy (ATP), boost circulation, and support the body’s natural healing and regeneration processes.

 

2. How does red light therapy help with hair growth?

Red light therapy improves blood flow to the scalp, reactivates dormant hair follicles, and energizes cells to encourage stronger, thicker, and healthier hair growth. It’s a safe, drug-free solution commonly used for thinning hair, early-stage hair loss, and scalp rejuvenation.

 

3. Is red light therapy safe?

Yes. Red light therapy is clinically studied and FDA-cleared for safety and effectiveness when used as directed. It is non-invasive, pain-free, and does not use UV light—so there’s no risk of skin damage or burns.

 

4. How often should I use FolliFlow devices?

For best results, we recommend using your FolliFlow red light therapy device 3–5 times per week for 10–20 minutes per session. Consistency is key, and most users begin to notice visible improvements within 6–12 weeks.

 

5. Can I use red light therapy with other hair products or treatments?

Absolutely. Red light therapy complements most hair care routines and can even enhance the absorption of topical treatments by increasing blood flow and cell activity in the scalp.

 

6. Who is red light therapy for?

Red light therapy is ideal for both men and women experiencing hair thinning, scalp issues, or wanting to maintain healthy hair growth. It’s also beneficial for athletes, wellness enthusiasts, and anyone seeking non-invasive recovery or skin benefits.

 

7. Will it work on bald spots or severe hair loss?

Red light therapy works best in the early to moderate stages of hair loss, when follicles are still capable of regeneration. It may not restore areas where follicles are completely inactive or scarred, but it can help prevent further loss and support existing follicles.

 

8. Is there any downtime or side effects?

No downtime is required. Most users experience no side effects. A slight warming sensation is normal and simply indicates increased blood flow.

 

9. When will I see results?

Results vary by individual, but many users begin noticing improvements in scalp health, hair thickness, and reduced shedding within 6 to 12 weeks of consistent use.

 

10. Can I use it on other parts of the body?

While FolliFlow devices are specifically optimized for the scalp and hair, red light therapy also supports skin rejuvenation, inflammation reduction, and recovery in other areas. Please consult product-specific guidelines for full-body use.
