Abstract in brief

  • The study found that the new home-use Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) helmet, called RAMACAP, significantly improved hair density and hair diameter in Thai men and women with androgenetic alopecia after 24 weeks, compared to a sham device.
  • Participants using the laser helmet experienced minimal side effects like temporary hair shedding and scalp itching, indicating it is a safe treatment option.
  • However, the study had limitations such as a small sample size, lack of long-term follow-up, and issues with the sham device not being an ideal negative control, which may affect the reliability of the results.
