The Science Behind Lumaero
Decades of clinical research. FDA-cleared technology. Real results. Discover how photobiomodulation is revolutionizing hair care.
Understanding the Science
Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT), is the therapeutic application of specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function. When red light at 630-670nm penetrates the scalp, it's absorbed by chromophores in the mitochondria.
This triggers a cascade of beneficial effects: increased ATP production, improved blood flow, reduced inflammation, and extended hair growth cycles. The result? Healthier, thicker, stronger hair from the root.

The Cellular Process
Red light photons at 650nm penetrate the scalp and are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria of hair follicle cells.
Light energy activates the electron transport chain, dramatically increasing production of ATP—the cellular energy currency.
Blood vessels widen, increasing circulation to the scalp. More oxygen and nutrients reach the hair follicles.
The anagen (growth) phase is prolonged while telogen (resting) phase is shortened, resulting in thicker, denser hair.
Backed by Research
Red light therapy for hair growth isn't speculation—it's supported by peer-reviewed research and recognized by the FDA.
655nm LLLT significantly improved hair counts in males with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo group.
PubMed →After 24 weeks of treatment, hair density and thickness significantly increased, with decreased sebum secretion.
PMC →650nm red light promotes hair growth through upregulation of growth factors and modulation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
PMC →Red light penetrates the skin and stimulates follicle growth through vasodilation and cellular energy production.
Stanford Medicine →Proven Benefits
Clinical studies show hair density improvements of up to 43% over 24 weeks with consistent treatment.
Enhanced cellular energy production results in healthier, more resilient hair that's less prone to breakage.
Reduced inflammation and increased circulation create the optimal environment for hair growth.
Red light prolongs the anagen phase, giving each hair more time to grow before naturally shedding.
Unlike medications, red light therapy is completely non-invasive with no known adverse effects.
Benefits compound over time. Most users see noticeable improvements within 8-12 weeks of consistent use.
