The Science of Red Light Therapy

Low-level light therapy (LLLT) uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light — light that's absorbed by cells rather than reflected off skin. This category of light-based therapy has been studied in dermatology for decades, most commonly in the 600-700nm and 800-950nm ranges.

Hair grows in cycles, not continuously. It moves through a growth phase (anagen), a transition phase (catagen), and a resting phase (telogen) before shedding and starting over. Understanding this cycle is why light therapy is typically approached as a long-term routine rather than a one-time treatment.

Because hair growth unfolds over months, not days, research into light-based therapies points to regular, sustained use as the key factor — not the strength of any single session. A steady routine is what allows light exposure to stay in step with the hair growth cycle.

Inside Every CAYAMA Cap

176 tri-chip LED modules — 528 individual light points — are arranged to spread evenly across the hairline, crown, and mid-scalp, so coverage isn't limited to just the top of your head.

CAYAMA combines 660nm red light with 850/940nm near-infrared light in the same session. Red light and near-infrared light are absorbed at different depths, so using both together covers more ground than either wavelength alone.

Adjustable 10-30 minute sessions, a soft breathable fit, and flexible power options (adapter or compatible power bank) mean CAYAMA is built to actually fit into your day — not just your first week.

How to Build CAYAMA Into Your Day

Most people find a daily or near-daily rhythm easiest to stick with — roughly 5 to 7 sessions a week works well for a steady routine. Each session can be set anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, once per day, depending on how much time you have.

There's no need to double up sessions or wear it longer to "catch up" if you miss a day. Simply pick back up with your regular schedule — consistency over weeks and months matters more than any single session.
