Can I use Capillus laser therapy if I have hair extensions or weaves?Updated a year ago
Yes, you can use low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with hair extensions, but consider two key factors. The opacity of the attachment device may affect treatment effectiveness, with more opaque attachments potentially blocking laser light. Additionally, thick cornrows or braids directly attached to the scalp can hinder laser light from reaching the follicles.
As noted in this article on our blog, hair extensions and weaves can actually cause hair loss over time through traction alopecia, which you may wish to consider when selecting this hair style option.
