How to Regrow Bald Patches on your Head

Bald patches on the head can be upsetting and make you feel self-conscious. Most of the time, these spots can grow back. Red light therapy can help hair grow again if you use it regularly.

In this article, we will explore different methods and remedies to help hair grow back on bald spots.

Understand the Cause

The first step is to understand what is causing the bald patches on your head. This will help determine the suitable treatment approach. Common causes include:

• Androgenetic alopecia or male/female pattern baldness - This is caused by hormones and genetics and results in a receding hairline or thinning hair on the crown. It can start as early as puberty.
• Alopecia areata - An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in smooth bald patches. It can occur at any age.
• Traction alopecia - Hair loss due to excessive pulling on the hair over a long period of time. Common in people who wear tight hairstyles.
• Nutritional deficiencies - Lack of nutrients like proteins, iron, and zinc can cause hair loss.

Improve Overall Scalp Health

Creating a healthy environment for hair growth is key. Scalp massages help improve blood circulation in the scalp. Use fingertips to massage the bald patches gently for 5-10 minutes daily. Natural oils like coconut, almond, and olive can be used too.

Maintain good scalp hygiene by keeping it clean. Use a mild, sulphate-free shampoo 2-3 times a week. Avoid over-washing as it can dry out the scalp.

Stay hydrated and follow a balanced, nutritious diet. Key nutrients for hair health include proteins, iron, zinc, and vitamins A, C, D, and B-complex.

Medications and Supplements

Minoxidil is an FDA-approved over-the-counter topical solution that can stimulate hair growth. It comes in 2% and 5% formulations for both men and women.

Supplements like biotin, saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil provide essential nutrients that promote hair growth. However, there is limited research on their efficacy. 

Note: Before taking any medications or supplements, it is recommended that you consult with your physician first.

Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low level 650 nm wavelength red light diodes to stimulate hair growth on bald patches on the head. It improves scalp blood flow and activates hair follicles. Advanced devices like The RedLight Hat Pro deliver light at optimal wavelengths and spacing to maximise hair regrowth. 

Red light penetrates deep into the scalp and boosts cellular activity to revive dormant follicles. It activates hair growth pathways at a molecular level. Clinical trials show red light therapy helps thicken existing hair, regrow lost hair, and improve overall hair quality. It is a drug-free, non-surgical way to restore hairline, temples, and crowns.

End Notes

Regrowth of hair will normally take time after application, so you should be patient and apply it persistently. Most often, bald patches on the head can actually be re-grown through a combination of better scalp health, supplements, medication, and treatments. The recommended treatment is using the RedLight Hat Pro. Visit RedLight Innovation to learn more about the treatment.
