Abstract
Photobiomodulation has been widely applied in the health area. In the area of aesthetics is used in treatments of various disorders such as male androgenetic alopecia. Phototherapy promotes nutrition of the follicle and consequently improves the picture of alopecia. The objective of this study was to verify the effect of laser and led in male androgenetic alopecia. The study evaluated a male volunteer, aged 23 years, presenting androgenetic alopecia, diagnosed and evaluated through capillary anamnesis, dermatoscope and photography. For the phototherapy sessions, the device used in these sessions was used once a week, totaling 10 sessions, performed at the Hermínio Ometto-FHO Foundation, in the Body Aesthetics Laboratory. In light of the literature on the benefits of Laser and LED and Minoxidil, this study proposed to associate the two techniques in order to potentiate the treatment. The obtained results demonstrated that the application of Laser and Led and the application of Minoxidil home care in male androgenetic alopecia (AAG) was efficient for the treatment of this dysfunction, since there was also no undesirable effect for the individual who underwent the applications. However, new specific practical research on the subject is proposed to obtain more scientific evidence.
