Red light therapy is a form of LLLT, also known as photobiomodulation, which uses rays of a specific wavelength to stimulate hair growth. Although the name includes "laser," LLLT today mostly uses non-coherent light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which can produce light of different wavelengths with specific effects on the human body.
As the name suggests, red light therapy uses red or near-infrared light rays whose wavelength ranges from 630 to 850 nm (660 nm is usually preferred). They penetrate the scalp and optimize cellular function, which in turn stimulates hair growth.

Since there are no safety concerns associated with red light therapy, you can use it as often as you like.
However, dermatologists recommend 2-3 treatments per week, each lasting 20-30 minutes, for optimal results.

No, fortunately, red light therapy is not painful at all. Although it does involve shining focused light onto your scalp, the devices used only give off small amounts of heat. This may give you a pleasant warming sensation, but will not burn or damage your skin in any way. If you feel that your eyes are disturbed by the glow, you can close them and relax during the session. You should normally just feel a calming, pleasant sensation.

For optimal light penetration and effectiveness, it is recommended to use the device on dry, clean hair.

How long it takes to see results from your red light hair treatment depends greatly on the cause of your hair loss and the general condition of your hair and scalp. Less advanced hair loss with limited damage to the follicles should respond better to the red light, so you may see an improvement in hair density and thickness sooner than with late-stage alopecia.
On average, it is not uncommon for a full treatment to take 3-6 months (or over 20-30 sessions), so remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint, and don't be discouraged if you don't see new hair growth after the first few sessions.
