Right up until my early forties, in fact, when large handfuls of my hair started falling out in the shower. \u201cWhy is this happening?\u201d I asked my doctor at the time, as my front part began widening at an alarming rate.<\/p>\n<p>My doctor ran thyroid tests, iron-deficiency tests, and pretty much every other test <em>except<\/em> for the estrogen and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) labs that, a couple years later, would ultimately indicate the problem: perimenopause. Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone hormones in the years right before menopause often cause a dominance of androgens, or male hormones like testosterone and androstenedione. In genetically susceptible women (like me, apparently), such androgens can shrink hair follicles and cause pattern baldness.<\/p>\n<p>This was new information to me. I knew older women often wore their hair in a short, fluffy bouffant, but until I started shedding, I thought it was a style thing, not a strategy to <em>cover their balding heads<\/em>. I knew I was now in a race against time, so the concept of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/best-red-light-therapy-for-hair-growth\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">red-light devices for hair growth<\/a> caught my attention\u2014specifically, the quick-treatment Hairmax LaserBand, which only takes 30 seconds for each area of your head. (I do three sessions to cover my scalp.) As a full-time working parent, my daily mental load already defies the laws of physics; if a beauty regimen takes longer than a minute or two, I\u2019m probably just not going to do it.<\/p>\n<p><native-ad position=\"in-content\" shoulddisplaylabel=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve now been using the Hairmax for five months, and while the results didn\u2019t exactly constitute a miracle, they were definitely noticeable.<\/p>\n<h2>Laser-Sharp<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC3926176\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">Clinical trials<\/a> have shown that red-light therapy can help increase blood circulation and reduce inflammation, which can lead to increased collagen production in the skin. It\u2019s not a huge leap to see how this benefit could extend to hair follicles in the scalp. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/med.stanford.edu\/news\/insights\/2025\/02\/red-light-therapy-skin-hair-medical-clinics.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">studies show<\/a> that red light can energize hair follicles and lower levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is another androgen that can cause hair loss.<\/p>\n<p>Red light can also support the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an energy-carrying molecule that helps existing follicles remain in the hair-growth phase. However, while these devices can promote a healthy environment for living hair follicles, they can\u2019t revive follicles that are scarred or long dormant. If parts of your scalp are totally bald and shiny, you may need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/10\/06\/nx-s1-5544362\/turkey-hair-transplants-tourism\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">go to Turkey after all<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Hairmax LaserBand, a 3-inch-thick blue headband with teeth, looks a lot like a shark mouth when sitting on its charging cradle, which is both a handy resting place and keeps it charged at all times. It&#8217;s pricey\u2014a few hundred more than similar devices. But unlike a lot of competitors, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/currentbody-led-hair-growth-helmet\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">CurrentBody\u2019s LED helmet<\/a> and HigherDose\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/higherdose-red-light-hat\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">ball cap-style hat<\/a>, the LaserBand contains no LEDs in favor of more targeted red-light laser diodes. (Some competitors, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/growell-cap-rave\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">like GroWell<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/irestore-elite-laser-hair-growth-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">iRestore<\/a>, use a mix of LEDs and laser diodes.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/hairmax-laserband-82-comfortflex\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve had long, thick hair for most of my life.
