The use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) may serve as an effective alternative for persons with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) unwilling to use medical therapy or undergo surgical options, according to a recent review of several studies. Researchers evaluated 11 studies, published between 1960 and 2015, which investigated 680 patients, consisting of 444 males and 236 females. They found:

• 9 out of 11 studies assessing hair count/hair density found statistically significant improvements in both males and females following LLLT treatment.

• Hair thickness and tensile strength significantly improved in 2 out of 4 studies.

• Patient satisfaction was investigated in 5 studies and was overall positive, though not as profound as the objective outcomes.
