It is a non-invasive, painless treatment that may help: ● Improve hair thickness and quality ● Slow down certain types of hair thinning ● Support hair transplant and medical treatments At Tampa Bay Hair Group, we incorporate red light therapy as part of comprehensive hair restoration plans when appropriate.

You might be a candidate if: ● You have early or moderate thinning and want a low-risk, non-invasive option ● You’re already on medications or doing PRP and want to enhance your regimen ● You’re looking for an at-home or in-office option that is easy to integrate into your routine We’ll discuss whether red light therapy makes sense for your pattern of hair loss and expectations.
