Red Light (LED) Hair Cap

Advanced PhotoBiomodulation for Scalp & Hair Health

The Novobio Red Light Hair Cap is an advanced, home-use photobiomodulation (PBM) device designed to support scalp and hair health using clinically validated red (660 nm) and near-infrared (850 nm) wavelengths.

Lightweight, portable and hands-free, it provides a convenient and consistent ‘at-home’ technology option that complements a range of in-clinic hair restoration treatments.

Published evidence has demonstrated, PBM/LLLT may provide improvement in hair density, thickness, follicle activity and overall scalp vitality in both men and women.

Low-level light therapy (LLLT) photobiomodulation (PBM), improves hair growth by enhancing the energy production of hair follicle cells. Red (around 650–660 nm) and near-infrared (800–900 nm) wavelengths are absorbed by mitochondria, the structures responsible for cellular energy. This interaction boosts ATP production, helping weakened or miniaturising follicles function more effectively.

With increased cellular energy, follicles are better able to maintain and extend the anagen (growth) phase, support thicker hair shaft production, and recover from the metabolic slowdown seen in androgenetic alopecia.

LLLT PBM also promotes a healthier scalp environment by improving microcirculation, supporting tissue repair, and reducing low-grade inflammation that can interfere with normal follicle cycling.

These combined effects: improved follicular metabolism, stronger growth signals, and healthier scalp biology, translate into fuller, stronger and more resilient hair when the therapy is used consistently. LLLT is gentle, non-invasive, and works well alongside treatments such as PRP, topical agents and prescribed medications, making it a valuable part of modern multimodal hair restoration programs.

How does the Technology help Hair Growth?

Who Might Benefit from PBM?

The Novobio Red Light Hair Cap is designed for individuals seeking a gentle, non-invasive way to support hair health. It is suitable for:

  • Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss)

  • Early-stage thinning or reduced hair density

  • Improving scalp health

  • Adjunctive care between professional treatments

  • Supporting long-term hair wellness programs

The device fits seamlessly into professional treatment plans or at-home care, and can also be used on its own as a regular maintenance therapy, providing consistent sessions that help extend and enhance clinical results.

Optimising Scalp & Hair Follicle Cellular Function with Dual Wavelengths

The Novobio Red Light Hair Cap uses a dual-wavelength system; 660 nm red light and 850 nm near-infrared (NIR) light, to deliver targeted photobiomodulation to the scalp. These wavelengths have been widely studied and shown to activate cellular processes that support healthier, denser, and stronger hair growth.

  • Non-thermal LED technology

  • Suitable for all skin and hair types

  • No downtime

  • Hands-free & comfortable

  • Automatic session timing

  • Even, consistent light distribution

Clinical Guidance for Treatment Planning

The Novobio LED Hair Cap has been designed for seamless integration into clinical practice. As each patient presents with unique scalp and hair characteristics, practitioners are best placed to determine the most appropriate treatment parameters, including session frequency, duration, brightness selection and mode.

Clinics stocking the device are provided with comprehensive support materials through our Clinician Portal, including treatment protocols, patient resources and evidence summaries. These tools enable practitioners to confidently tailor recommendations and optimise outcomes while maintaining consistency across their patient cohort.

FAQs

  • The Novobio Red Light Hair Cap is a hands-free, at-home device that uses red (660 nm) and near-infrared (850 nm) light to support scalp health and promote stronger, thicker hair. It is a non-invasive, low-risk option for individuals experiencing early hair thinning or pattern hair loss.

  • The cap delivers gentle light energy to your scalp, stimulating hair follicle cells, improving circulation, and supporting the natural hair growth cycle. Red light targets surface-level scalp health, while near-infrared light reaches deeper follicle structures.

  • It is suitable for men and women with early-stage hair thinning, reduced hair density, or androgenetic alopecia. It can also be used to maintain scalp vitality and complement professional hair treatments.

  • Yes. The cap works well alongside professional therapies such as Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), microneedling, topical hair regrowth products, and oral supplements. It can also be used alone as a maintenance therapy.

  • Consistency is key. Most users benefit from 15–30 minutes per session, several times per week. Your clinician can recommend a schedule tailored to your needs.

  • Results vary, but many users notice improvements in hair density, thickness, and overall scalp health after 3–6 months of consistent use.

  • Yes. The device is non-invasive, low-risk, and designed for home use. It should not be used by individuals who are pregnant, under 18, have photosensitive conditions, or take medications that increase light sensitivity. Always follow the instructions and consult your healthcare provider if unsure.

  • Clean the fabric portion gently with a soft cloth. Avoid exposing the LEDs to water, high heat, or direct sunlight. Always disconnect from power before cleaning.

    *Recommended for use on clean, dry hair.
