LLLT for AGA: -Will the result plateau over time/or even revert back?

March 30, 2018
Asked By:Carlos.Dac in Vancouver, BC

My Dr has painted LLLT as a “Snake Oil” with no real medicinal value. However there has been some promising studies and journals that make LLLT comparable to minoxidil (e.g..~20 count/cm^2 in 26 weeks)*. *P<.05 These devices are expensive, so: -Are they Legitimate ? If yes: -Will the result plateaue over time/or even revert back? -Will higher dosage/more time improve results? -Is it also useful for CTE? -This device was out a while back, why is it a thing just now? Thank you
