The laser light stimulates and increases scalp blood circulation-consequently supplying to the area around the hair follicle. As a result of the increased blood flow, more nutrients are delivered to the hair follicle allowing the body to naturally stabilize hair loss and often regrow hair from dormant follicles. However, It does not reactivate dead follicles.

 In addition, this cellular activity breaks down the buildup up DHT which is one of the main causes of hair loss.
