Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a light therapy cap can improve symptoms and hair growth in women with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, a form of scarring hair loss.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with a confirmed diagnosis of CCCA Stage II-III, who have been on a stable treatment plan for at least 3 months. It's not open to men or those with other types of hair loss, nor to individuals who've had prior light therapy for alopecia.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the Revian Red All LED cap, which uses dual-band LED light therapy as a potential treatment for CCCA. The goal is to see if it can reduce scalp symptoms and hair loss while promoting hair regrowth in non-scarred areas.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Reportedly minimal side effects are associated with the Revian Red All LED cap, especially when compared to common treatments like topical minoxidil (itching and initial hair shedding) or finasteride (gynecomastia and libido loss).
