Makers of the GroWell Red Light Therapy Cap
The data showed that low-level light therapy delivered to the scalp every other day for 16 weeks with our device significantly improved hair counts by 37% in females. Some participants experienced over 90% growth. There were no adverse events or side effects. These results are similar to those obtained and previously reported for the male cohort of this study. The peer-reviewed results were published in Lasers In Surgery and Medicine, the official journal of the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery.
Study data was consistent with our study for women. It showed that men who used our low-level light therapy device on the scalp every other day for 16 weeks achieved an average 35% increase in hair counts, with some participants experiencing growth exceeding 90%. No adverse events or side effects were reported. This was also peer reviewed and published in Lasers In Surgery and Medicine.
When other products claim they are “backed by science” they are often citing our studies, which is why physicians widely recommend the GroWell Cap to their patients.
GroWell is a line of products from Apira Science offering advanced solutions for men’s and women’s thinning hair, including red light therapy caps, shampoo, conditioner, supplements and topical treatments.
Yes, the GroWell line of products use technologies and ingredients that are doctor-recommended and clinically tested for safety and effectiveness. GroWell is by Apira Science, a recognized leader in hair and skin therapies delivering proven results for nearly 20 years.
GroWell is for men and women who want to look their best but are experiencing mild to moderate hair loss or thinning hair.
The GroWell Cap is a standalone treatment that doesn’t require any additional products to be effective. However, many people do combine it with GroWell’s Hair Repair & Restore Shampoo and Conditioner, Topical Minoxidil and Hair Health Supplements to get the benefits each one can offer.
Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate biological processes in the scalp. This process is known as photobiomodulation, where light energy interacts with cells to enhance their function.
At a cellular level, red light therapy targets the mitochondria (the “powerhouses” of cells), increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This boost in cellular energy helps hair follicle cells function more efficiently, encouraging stronger and thicker hair growth.

Hair grows in cycles, including the growth phase (anagen), transition phase (catagen), and resting phase (telogen). Red light therapy has been shown to help prolong the anagen phase, meaning hair stays in the active growth stage for longer.
Research using 650 nm red light found it can delay the transition from growth to shedding and stimulate biological pathways linked to follicle regeneration.

Yes, red light therapy doesn’t just target hair follicles—it also improves the overall scalp environment. It can enhance blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and support cellular repair, all of which contribute to healthier hair growth conditions.
Scientific reviews highlight that photobiomodulation triggers multiple physiological responses, including improved tissue repair and reduced oxidative stress.
