Low level light with Minoxidil 5% combination therapy - randomized controlled study

Recently a paper was published in a leading laser journal that revealed a combination of topical minoxidil and low level light laser therapy was synergistic. Both treatment options for hair loss for men and women are effective alone but in a patient that has used one without optimal results, adding the other could enhance the results for hair loss. Very interesting!
