Hair loss can lead you down a path of endless questions, and concerns about potential side effects are natural. In this segment of our interview series, trichologist Iain sheds light on the safety of HairMax low-level laser therapy (LLLT) devices and the potential consequences of overuse.

One of the significant advantages of HairMax LLLT is its excellent safety profile. Iain emphasises that there are no known side effects associated with proper use of HairMax devices.

The Art of Moderation: The Arnold Schultz Curve Explained

However, Iain introduces the concept of the Arnold Schultz curve. This curve illustrates a crucial principle: cells have a limited capacity to absorb light energy for stimulation.

If you overuse a HairMax device, you exceed the optimal energy absorption range for your cells. This can lead to a situation where the cells become unresponsive to the LLLT, essentially rendering the treatment ineffective.

Following Instructions: Key to Maximising Benefits

To ensure optimal results and avoid exceeding the beneficial range, Iain advises using HairMax devices exactly as directed. The recommended treatment times and schedules are designed to deliver the optimal amount of light energy for hair follicle stimulation.

The Takeaway: Safe and Effective When Used Correctly

HairMax LLLT offers a safe and effective approach to promoting hair growth when used as directed. By following the recommended treatment protocols, you can maximise the benefits of HairMax and avoid diminishing its effectiveness.
