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.

Optimising Scalp 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.

Photobiomodulation works through the interaction of light with mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells. When delivered consistently, this light energy can enhance metabolic activity, improve tissue function, and create an environment that supports optimal hair follicle performance.

Red Light (660 nm) Mechanism of Action

Red light targets the surface layers of the scalp, where many important hair-supporting cells are located.

Boosts cellular energy: Supports ATP production, which is the cells' energy source and helps hair follicles to function more effectively.

Improves blood flow: Encourages better circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the hair roots

Calms scalp inflammation: Helps create a healthier environment for hair growth.

Supports hair and scalp quality: Benefits keratin-producing cells, leading to stronger, healthier-looking hair.

Summary: Red light strengthens scalp health and supports the upper part of the follicle to encourage thicker, healthier hair.

Near-Infrared Light (850 nm) Mechanism of Action

Near-infrared light penetrates deeper into the scalp, reaching the parts of the follicle responsible for driving hair growth.

Reaches deep-rooted follicle cells: Stimulates the dermal papilla and stem-cell areas that regulate the hair growth cycle.

Supports long-term hair regrowth: Helps shift follicles into the active growth phase and increases duration of time spent in the Anagen growth phase of the hair groath cycle

Improves scalp circulation at depth: Helps maintain blood supply to deeper follicle structures.

Summary: Near-infrared light works below the surface to reactivate and support the deeper components of hair growth.

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.
