Getting Started

Capillus HairBand

Your complete guide to charging and using the Capillus HairBand: 82 low-level laser diodes in a flexible headband design, delivering targeted scalp wellness therapy in just 5 minutes, three times a week.

How It Works

The Capillus HairBand delivers Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) to the scalp using 82 medical-grade 650nm laser diodes embedded in a flexible comfort band with soft hair-parting teeth. The adjustable design lets you target the hairline, crown, or top of the head by repositioning the band before each session.

The HairBand is designed as a scalp wellness device for general personal care; it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. Sessions are 5 minutes, three times per week, and the device emits no heat, no harmful radiation, and requires no drugs or topical applications.

How to Use

  1. Inspect before useCheck the hairband for cleanliness, cracks, or sharp edges. Verify the battery controller is charged.

  2. Attach the Smart Magnetic Battery ControllerAlign the controller with the magnetic connection interface on the hairband. Bring them close together until they snap into place automatically. The device will only operate when the controller is securely attached.

  3. Position the band on your headPlace the hairband on your head and adjust so the laser emitters are directed at your desired scalp area, hairline, top, or crown. The hair-parting teeth help seat the device against the scalp.

  4. Start your sessionPress and hold the Power Button on the controller for approximately 1 second. A confirmation beep will sound and the lasers will activate. The 5-minute session begins automatically.

  5. Relax hands-free for 5 minutesThe band can be worn while reading, relaxing, or doing other seated activities. The device shuts off automatically when the session ends. To stop early, press the Power Button, or simply detach the magnetic controller to instantly cut power.

Eye safety: Do not look directly into the laser emitters when the device is powered on. Avoid direct exposure of the lasers to the eyes.

Magnetic safety stop: Detaching the Smart Magnetic Battery Controller from the hairband immediately disconnects power and stops the session — useful if you need to remove the device quickly.
