But how exactly does shining a light on your scalp help your hair grow? What is the science behind it, and why is it considered a breakthrough in the beauty and health industry? This article will delve into the mechanisms of infrared light, backed by scientific research, and explore how VIBRAHAIR products make this technology accessible and effective for everyday use.


Whether you're battling hair thinning, looking to boost your hair's volume, or simply aiming for healthier locks, understanding the benefits of infrared therapy could be the first step toward achieving your hair goals. Let’s explore how this innovative technology can be integrated into your hair care routine for maximum benefits.

Understanding Infrared Therapy

Infrared therapy leverages the gentle, healing powers of infrared light, a type of energy your eyes can't see, but your body can feel as heat. This light penetrates deep into the skin, reaching muscles and nerves with soothing warmth that promotes healing and relaxation. Different wavelengths of infrared light, classified into near, mid, and far-infrared, each has its unique applications, with near-infrared being most commonly used for tissue growth and repair, making it ideal for hair health.


Historically, the therapeutic uses of infrared light date back to the early 20th century, where it was used to alleviate pain and inflammation in medical settings. Over the decades, the technology has evolved, and its application has broadened to include various aspects of physical and mental health, including dermatology and now, cosmetically for hair growth and scalp health.

How Infrared Promotes Hair Growth

In hair care, infrared therapy’s primary mechanism is its ability to stimulate the mitochondria within cells, known as the "powerhouse of the cell." This stimulation leads to increased production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which provides the energy required for hair follicles to enhance and sustain growth. Additionally, infrared light increases blood circulation in the scalp, ensuring a plentiful supply of nutrients and oxygen, which are crucial for hair regeneration and strength.


Incorporating infrared therapy into hair care routines has significant benefits. Users often report a reduction in hair loss and improvements in hair density and texture. This therapy nurtures not only the hair but also the scalp, promoting overall scalp health, which is a foundational aspect of healthy hair.

Research and Case Studies

A robust body of research supports the efficacy of infrared therapy in promoting hair growth and underscores its scientific validity. Several pivotal studies provide compelling evidence of this technology's benefits for individuals experiencing hair thinning and loss.

More Scientific Research:

  • The role of red light therapy in the treatment of the three types of alopecia is beautifully described in this 2019 article by Dr. Michael Hamblin in Clinical, Cosmetic, and Investigative Dermatology.
     
  • Using light beams in the visible and near-infrared spectrum (600-1100 nm), red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a type of phototherapy. These deliver powerful energy by penetrating the skin and reaching the deeper tissues thanks to their long-reaching wavelengths. The body's main energy sources, the mitochondria, which are the cells' power plants, take them up there. Following that, a series of cellular reactions take place, leading to healing and regeneration.
     
  • The patients who received red light laser therapy had a higher increase in terminal hair (scalp hair) density than the other groups who didn't receive the treatment, according to statistically significant findings. Additionally, there were no side effects that could be seen, proving its safety.
     
  • It is believed that red light therapy's ability to influence stem cells, promoting renewal and hair growth, is what gives it its effectiveness for treating hair loss. The energy-carrying molecules in cells, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), rise as a result of the low-level wavelengths. With the help of this ATP, the hair growth cycle can be turned around, moving from the dormant telogen stage of growth to the anagen or active growth stage.
     
    Several studies, including one involving female subjects with androgenetic alopecia, have shown this. In comparison to the non-active treatment group, there was a 37% increase in scalp hair counts after 16 weeks of low-level laser therapy (performed every other day). The fact that the women could administer the treatments independently at home without experiencing any side effects is particularly noteworthy.
     
  • Red light with a wavelength of 650 nm has been shown in clinical studies to stimulate the development of human hair follicles. Additionally, the ground-breaking treatment successfully delays the transition of the hair cycle from the anagen, or growth stage, to the catagen phase (when follicles contract and growth slows), which is another benefit.
     
  •  Red light therapy's capacity to promote blood flow to the treated area is yet another benefit. This enhances cell function and encourages growth by delivering oxygen and nutrients to the cells. This is crucial for patients whose nutritional deficiencies are the cause of hair loss. Additionally, studies suggest that the procedure might raise vitamin D and magnesium levels, both of which are essential for healthy hair.
     
  • A 2014 study found that low-level laser therapy for hair growth appeared to be secure and efficient for both men and women.
     
  • A 2013 study of 41 males between the ages of 18 and 48 found that laser hair treatment increased hair growth by 39% over the course of 16 weeks.
     
  • A 2014 study in which 47 AGA-afflicted women underwent every other day for 16 weeks either a sham treatment or LED red light therapy at a wavelength of 655 nm. Comparing the active group to the control group, the active group's hair counts significantly improved.
     
  • Similar findings from a different study conducted in 2014 were seen in both men and women. Independent of sex, participants' self-reported improvements in hair thickness and fullness were also found to have significantly increased hair density.
     
  • The various elements that might impact the efficacy of red light therapy for AGA were examined in a 2020 study. It was discovered that AGA is significantly helped by session length, light pulsing, and energy fluence (measured in joules per square centimeter).
     
  • Red light therapy is a safe and effective treatment for men and women with AGA who have not responded to or were not tolerable of standard treatments, according to a 2016 review of red light therapy and hair regrowth.
     
  • Similar results were found in a 2014 review. Epithelial stem cells in the bulge of the hair follicle are stimulated, and anagen activity is elevated, according to researchers' hypotheses.
     
  • Red light therapy in combination with minoxidil was examined in a 2018 study. Results revealed that those who received the treatment fared significantly better than those in the control group in terms of recovering from AGA and reporting higher levels of patient satisfaction.
     
  • Participants in a 2003 study on red light therapy and AA experienced hair regrowth in irradiated areas 1.6 months earlier than in non-irradiated areas.
     
  • In a 2017 study, the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy for women with hair loss was examined. Researchers discovered that the number of hairs on women who underwent red light therapy at 650 mn increased by 51%.
     
  • And finally, a 2017 study on chemotherapy patients discovered that, with no side effects, those receiving red light therapy experienced 2.6 times more hair growth than those in the placebo group.

Numerous other studies, particularly those pertaining to AGA, have shown how effective red light therapy is. Even though more study is required to determine how the treatment affects AA and CIA, the preliminary results are undoubtedly encouraging. And there is a lot to gain from red light therapy while having very little to lose.
