Low Level Laser Therapy
FDA-cleared laser technology that stimulates hair growth at the cellular level. Safe, painless, and scientifically proven for treating hair loss.
What is Low Level Laser Therapy?
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red light to stimulate hair follicles at the cellular level. This non-invasive phototherapy increases cellular energy production, improves blood flow, and extends the growth phase of hair follicles.
Dr. Moleno offers both in-office professional laser treatments and at-home laser devices, providing flexible options to fit your lifestyle and treatment preferences. LLLT is particularly effective for early to moderate hair loss and works well in combination with other hair restoration treatments.

How LLLT Works
Photobiomodulation
Low-level red light (660-670nm) penetrates scalp tissue and is absorbed by hair follicle cells.
ATP Production
Light energy stimulates mitochondria to produce more ATP, the cellular energy currency.
Increased Blood Flow
Laser therapy improves microcirculation, delivering more nutrients to hair follicles.
Growth Phase Extension
Prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle for longer, thicker hair.
DHT Inhibition
May help reduce the effects of DHT on hair follicles at the cellular level.
Scientific Mechanism
Red light photons (660-670nm wavelength) penetrate the scalp and are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase in hair follicle mitochondria. This process stimulates ATP production, increases cellular metabolism, and promotes the release of nitric oxide, which improves blood circulation and nutrient delivery to hair follicles.
