Hair loss can feel overwhelming, leaving you wondering if there's a single solution that truly works In this segment of our interview series, trichologist Iain champions the concept of combination therapy and explains how low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can be a powerful weapon in your hair loss battle.

Iain emphasises the importance of first-line therapies, which are typically medical treatments like minoxidil or finasteride. These medications are considered the foundation of hair loss treatment, especially for cases of genetic hair loss.

LLLT: The Effective Booster

But what if you're already on a medication and still desire an extra boost for your hair? That's where LLLT steps in. Iain highlights LLLT as his preferred adjunct therapy. Here's why:

• Safe and Gentle: Unlike medications, LLLT is non-invasive and doesn't introduce additional chemicals into your body. This minimises the risk of side effects.
• Complementary Power: LLLT works synergistically with existing medications, providing an extra push to promote hair growth.
• Scientific Backing: Research supports the effectiveness of LLLT in improving hair health.

Combining Forces for Optimal Results

By combining first-line medical therapies with LLLT, you can potentially create a more comprehensive treatment plan. This approach can address hair loss from multiple angles, potentially leading to better results than relying on a single treatment method.
