LED Light face masks have been touted to carry anti-aging benefits by estheticians. Now, wellness tech brand HigherDose is harnessing the power of red light with a Red Light Hat to combat hair loss. 

 

The first-of-its-kind baseball cap design combines sleek aesthetics, discreet wearability, and science-backed red-light technology to promote healthy follicle growth and scalp rejuvenation, per the brand.

 

The red-light spurs blood flow to the scalp by increasing microcirculation to hair follicles to optimize its function, addressing underlying factors contributing to hair thinning and shedding, according to the brand. Red light aims to lower inflammation to help minimize DHT, a byproduct of testosterone that can contribute to hair loss and encourages a healthy scalp.

Backed by science, HigherDose’s Red Light Hat has the following features:

 

120 Medical Grade LED Diodes – FDA-cleared technology with significant data that shows the effectiveness for stimulating hair growth. The removable red light insert, allows users to clean the outer hat shell when preferred; 

 

650nm Red Light – A researched wavelength for hair growth, lowering inflammation and accelerating healing;

 

Cordless, Sleek Design – Allow for eight to 10 sessions per full battery charge; and

 

Zero EMF Emission – Due to the cordless, battery powered design, wearers will not be exposed to EMFs during treatment. 

 

With a recommended use of 10 minutes per day, marketers say the Red Light Hat fits into wellness routines seamlessly – making it a “daily ritual” to don on coffee runs, the morning commute or meditation sessions. With consistent use, results can be noticed within 12 to 26 weeks.

Following success harnessing the power of red light in its popular skincare devices, including the best-selling Red Light Face Mask and Red Light Neck Enhancer to boost collagen and elastin production, ignite radiance, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, sales for HigherDose have grown 600% year-over-year (YoY) from 2022-2023, with consumer demand supporting further category expansion and product innovation.

 

According to Fortune Business Insights, the hair care market valued at $99 billion in 2023 is forecasting to grow to $106 billion in 2024 and $213 billion by 2034.
