What's behind the abbreviation LLLT
Low-Level Laser Therapy — treatment using low-energy laser light. It's used as one of several supportive treatments, aimed at supporting scalp condition around the transplant.
Who decides on it
As with PRP — the clinic's doctor, based on an individual assessment of scalp condition and how the procedure went. It's not an option a patient selects on their own.
Eligibility comes before planning a procedure
This article explains “LLLT Laser After a Hair Transplant — What Does It Involve?”, but a transplant requires an individual assessment of the scalp, donor area and type of hair loss. The doctor decides whether a procedure, another treatment or postponing the decision is appropriate.
During a consultation, ask about the scope of treatment, realistic expectations, possible risks, preparation, aftercare and all costs. A price list or online photographs cannot replace medical eligibility assessment.
