    TLDR LED therapy can safely and effectively regrow eyebrows in people with frontal fibrosing alopecia.
    The study investigates the use of light-emitting diode (LED) therapy for treating eyebrow loss in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA). Involving 16 participants, the therapy was administered weekly for 10 weeks, resulting in a significant increase in total eyebrow hair count from 132 to 176 (p = 0.002). The improvements persisted six months post-treatment, and no adverse effects were reported. The study concludes that LED therapy is a promising, safe, and well-tolerated non-invasive treatment for eyebrow regrowth in FFA patients, though further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm these findings and establish standardized protocols.

      The post and conversation are about a user who made their own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for hair loss treatment at home, using their own blood and a centrifuge. The responses vary, with some users supporting the DIY approach to save money, others expressing concern about the safety and effectiveness of the method, and a few joking about the lengths people will go to combat hair loss.

      Red light therapy is scientifically proven to promote hair growth by increasing strand density and thickness, and it's an additional treatment to DHT blockers like minoxidil and finasteride. Some users are skeptical about the cost and effectiveness of commercial devices, despite studies showing benefits.

      Red light therapy with dual wavelengths (650nm and 850nm) can stimulate hair regrowth without DHT blockers. Consistent use of a panel with these wavelengths has shown positive results in hair regrowth.
