Low-level red light delivered to the scalp to support follicles that are still active — a genuinely useful addition to a hair plan, and not a substitute for one.
Low-level laser light therapy delivers red light at a specific wavelength to the scalp, where it is absorbed by cells within the hair follicle and appears to support them through the growth phase.
This is supportive treatment, and we would rather lead with that than bury it. Light therapy has reasonable evidence for slowing early thinning and for helping hold on to what other protocols achieve. It has far less to offer where follicles are already dormant or scarred, because light cannot restore a follicle that is no longer there.
So it earns its place in a plan rather than as the plan. Used alongside a properly diagnosed medical route — and after the cause of your hair loss has actually been established — it is a low-effort, painless addition worth having. Sold on its own as an answer to advanced hair loss, it is not honest.
The wavelength is chosen because it reaches the depth the follicle sits at rather than stopping at the surface.
The light is taken up by cellular structures involved in energy production, which is the proposed basis for its effect on the growth phase.
There is no single meaningful session. The effect depends on regular exposure sustained across months alongside the rest of your plan.
Assessed, planned and supervised in clinic — never sold from a menu.
No needles, no medication applied, and nothing to recover from.
Short enough to attach to another appointment.
The cause of your hair loss is established first — light therapy is not a substitute for that.
Built to support GFC, plasma therapy or a medical route rather than replace one.
Painless and non-thermal, which makes it tolerable when other options are not.
We will tell you plainly where your hair loss is past what light therapy can help with.
Hair regrowth — results shown are from Dermatonik's hair-regrowth protocols and may reflect a combination of treatments.
Photographs shared with patient consent. Individual results vary; your clinician will set honest expectations at consultation.
Dr. Saeema Shiraaz examines your scalp and establishes the pattern and the cause of the loss. Light therapy is recommended only where there are still active follicles for it to support.
What is appropriate, in what order, and what it will cost is set out before anything begins. You will be told plainly if something is not going to help you.
You sit under the device for around twenty minutes while light is delivered across the scalp. There is no heat and nothing to feel.
Aftercare is explained before you leave, and we review how your skin has responded before deciding the next step.

Dr. Saeema Shiraaz — cosmetologist, and the reason patients stay. Every treatment plan at Dermatonik is built around her judgement, not a sales target.
Every protocol is planned and supervised by Dr. Saeema Shiraaz — no junior staff experimenting on your skin.
We recommend what works for your skin, not whatever's trending — and we'll say so if a treatment isn't right for you.
Honest timelines, real costs, and no pressure to buy packages you don't need.
Light therapy supports a hair plan. It does not replace diagnosing why you are losing hair, and anyone offering it as a standalone answer to advanced loss is overstating it.

What we will tell you
What patients usually ask before their first visit.
Hair moves slowly. Expect to be several months in before any change is fair to judge, which is why we review the scalp at set points rather than week to week.
Where follicles are dormant it can help support them. Where they are scarred or gone, no light therapy will bring them back — and which of those you are dealing with is exactly what the scalp assessment establishes.
No. There is no heat and no sensation beyond sitting under the device.
Yes, if you want to hold the benefit. The effect depends on continued exposure and it fades once sessions stop, which is worth knowing before you start rather than after.
That is where it fits best. It is used to support the in-clinic protocols and the medical route rather than to compete with them.
Active scalp infection or inflammation, photosensitising medication, and certain skin conditions affecting the scalp. These are checked at assessment.
Tell us a little about what you'd like to address. Dr. Saeema Shiraaz will review your message and the team will confirm a time that works for you.
