Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this study is to determine if the Revian Red All LED cap shows potential to be an effective treatment for Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) by recruiting hair follicles back to anagen growth or by improving inflammation. The primary outcome is to determine if hair loss regression is halted. Secondary outcomes include hair regrowth and alleviation of signs and symptoms of the disease. Participants will be asked to use the Revian Red All LED cap once daily for a 10-minute treatment regimen which is the current androgenetic alopecia recommendation.
