Just as LED can bring dull skin to life and give you back your glow, it can also re-invigorate lacklustre hair and restore a healthy shine. Find out more about the benefits of using your Boost device on your hair, and the salon treatments that will keep it looking its best.
The hair growth cycle
There are four phases in the hair growth cycle. The first is anagen, the growth phase, when the hair bulb is active and the blood supply is strong. About 90% of your hair follicles are in the anagen phase and can stay that way for two to eight years. The second is catagen, the regression phase, when the blood supply becomes detached from the follicle. The third is telogen, the resting phase, when hair no longer grows. The fourth is exogen, the shedding phase, when the hair falls out.
How to maintain healthy growth
To achieve fuller, healthier hair, and to minimise loss, our goal is to maintain the anagen growth phase and a healthy hair cycle by creating the best possible conditions on your scalp. LED therapy is one of the ways we can do this.
LED as a tool for hair vitality
The precision red 633nm and near-infrared 830nm LED wavelengths used in our salons and devices helps support healthy scalp circulation, creating an optimal environment for hair follicle function. This can help maintain hair strength and support the natural hair cycle.
For those with a healthy hair cycle, when a hair is shed, the follicle is already producing a new one to take its place. LED therapy supports this renewal process and helps maintain the quality of hair in the growth phase.
Additionally, light therapy has been shown to promote relaxation and reduce stress, a common factor that can contribute to hair concerns. This means LED may offer dual benefits - supporting both scalp health and overall well-being.
To support hair strength and a healthy scalp, try using your Boost LED Body Patch or Boost LED Collar three to five times each week on the hairline and scalp.
Salon hair treatments
In salons, our Healthy Hair treatment can be booked regularly to help maintain scalp and hair vitality, healthy, much like booking a Collagen Boost Facial to support skin health.
For those looking for a more targeted approach, our Hair & Scalp Renewal and Restoration treatments combine nano-dermabrasion, massage and microneedling with LED to revive the scalop and provide specialised care for hair health.
