If you're noticing your hair is thinning, there's still hope! With so many hair regrowth options on the market, from high-tech options to all-natural remedies, it's difficult to determine your best bet.
Want to explore your choices? Let's dive in to some of the most popular hair regrowth methods:
1. Laser Hair Devices
Low-level light therapy (LLLT) is growing in popularity. Studies have demonstrated that LLLT can stimulate hair growth and may help improve common hair problems like decreased hair density, receding hairlines, pattern baldness, and alopecia. One of the biggest drivers in this space is iRESTORE, whose Professional Device is often cited as one of the most powerful on the market.
iRESTORE’s Professional Device may be a good alternative to harsh chemicals: it is non-invasive and drug-free. iRESTORE's research shows that 92% of participants have experienced hair growth over placebo in clinical trials. It also complements other treatments, offering an additive approach rather than a one-size-fits-all.
LLLT can be one of the most convenient hair loss solutions, with no daily applications and no mess. To top it off, the iRESTORE Professional Device is low-commitment—it’s worn for a set duration (25 minutes every other day).
Pros:
- Non-invasive and painless
- Time-saving, with no daily application required
- 12-month money-back guarantee
