Capillus Neuro Protocol
Neuro Red & Near-Infrared (R-NIR) Light Technology for Cognitive Wellnes
The Capillus Neuro R-NIR device delivers transcranial red and near-infrared light therapy - also known as transcranial photobiomodulation (PBM) or Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) - as a non-invasive approach to support cognitive wellness. This technology applies low-level red and near-infrared light to the scalp to promote brain health and mental performance. The device is intended for general wellness and cognitive wellbeing and is not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.
At the cellular level, R-NIR photons are absorbed by mitochondrial chromophores, most notably cytochrome c oxidase within the electron transport chain. This interaction enhances mitochondrial respiration and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) synthesis, improving the energetic capacity of neurons. Increased ATP availability supports synaptic transmission, neurotransmitter synthesis, and signal transduction efficiency, collectively strengthening neuronal resilience under cognitive load.
In parallel, neuro-photobiomodulation has been shown to modulate cerebral blood flow, improving the delivery of oxygen and metabolic substrates to active brain regions. Light-induced signaling cascades may also reduce neuroinflammatory markers and oxidative stress while supporting neuroplasticity associated with learning, memory, and cognitive function.
Region-Specific Neuro Wellness Design
The Capillus Neuro is designed with an array of medical-grade near-infrared laser diodes strategically positioned to target anatomically relevant regions of the cerebral cortex. This precision-engineered topography ensures broad, uniform light delivery across key cortical areas involved in cognition, memory, attention, emotional regulation, and sensory integration -supporting optimal brain function and cognitive wellbeing.
Targeted Cortical Regions:
Prefrontal Cortex - Executive function, attention, decision-making
· Temporal Lobes and Hippocampal Networks - Memory encoding and recall
· Parietal Cortex - Sensory integration and spatial processing
· Occipital Cortex - Visual processing and perceptual cognition
· Midline Cortical Networks - Emotional balance and cognitive flexibility
By supporting mitochondrial activity and promoting vascular relaxation and permeability across these regions, the Capillus Neuro is designed to enhance cellular energy metabolism and cerebral blood flow. This integrated approach aims to foster whole-brain cognitive wellness rather than isolated functional effects - helping users achieve balanced, optimized mental performance.
Mechanism of Action
Red and near-infrared laser light emitted by the Capillus Neuro is absorbed by mitochondrial components, most notably cytochrome c oxidase. This interaction supports normal mitochondrial respiration and promotes cellular energy production in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Increased ATP availability helps maintain normal neuronal function and supports overall brain metabolism.
Additional physiological responses associated with photobiomodulation include:
· Enhanced cerebral blood flow, improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to active brain regions
· Modulation of oxidative balance at the cellular level, reducing oxidative stress
· Support of cellular signaling pathways involved in neuromodulation and neuronal plasticity
These biological effects collectively contribute to maintaining normal brain function and supporting cognitive wellness in healthy individuals.
Intended Use
The Capillus Neuro is designed to support general cognitive wellness and mental performance in individuals through non-invasive photobiomodulation. It is not intended for the diagnosis, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of any disease or medical condition.

FAQs
Have a question ?
Please read our frequently ask questions to find out more.
Are there clinical trials that support the efficacy of Capillus?
Yes. Capillus Laser devices only use clinically proven technology. In fact, the premiere laser therapy cap model from Capillus - the CapillusPro model - has been proven effective through an independently reviewed clinical trial for which results have been published in an esteemed medical journal, Dermatologic Surgery. Dermatologic Surgery is a monthly peer-reviewed journal published by American Society for Dermatologic Surgery that deals with the subject matter of dermatology.
The CapillusPro device has been clinically proven in a double-blind clinical study registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and managed by a neutral third party.* Clinical trial data indicated that low-level laser treatment of the scalp for 17 weeks with the CapillusPro device significantly improved hair counts by 51% in study participants who used the active (non-placebo) device. Subjects were able to use the device on a self-treatment, home-use basis. No side-effects of any kind were reported from clinical trial participants. The CapillusPro was proven to be a safe and effective treatment for androgenic alopecia within the appropriate stages of hair loss and skin tones as per FDA clearance.
Please note that the results mentioned above are specifically for the CapillusPro model. There have been no clinical trials to date on the other Capillus models to be able to assert an exact percent of average increase of hair.
*See details of clinical trials at ClinicalTrials.gov
There have also been many other clinical trials that support the efficacy of low-level laser technology for treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
Is Capillus good for use after hair transplant procedures?
Yes, Capillus uses safe, low-level lasers to stimulate, energize, and renew cells within the hair follicle for thicker, healthier hair. It also helps those who’ve undergone a hair transplant procedure to protect the new hair growth. Follow your transplant physician's directions for follicle support after transplant.
Are Capillus products safe for women?
Yes. Unlike some prescription medications for hair loss, Capillus low-level laser therapy (LLLT) products are safe for use by women.
In fact, the convenience and effectiveness of personal LLLT products makes the Capillus products the first choice among many hair restoration surgeons who treat women suffering with thinning, shedding, or balding.
Why should I choose Capillus over other brands of laser therapy caps?
Capillus revolutionized the hair restoration industry with the Capillus laser cap a decade ago by making professional-strength laser therapy available to hair loss patients at home. Capillus was the first laser therapy cap to be cleared by the US FDA for treatment of androgenetic alopecia. Since then, many have tried to imitate. Don't settle when it comes to your hair health.
At Capillus, we prioritize excellence above all else. Capillus caps are designed, engineered and assembled in our US-based, ISO13485-certified facility. We only use the highest quality, medical-grade lasers. Our premium laser caps are backed by our elite Physician Network, FDA clearances, our Satisfaction Guarantee, Manufacturer Warranty, and in-house, expert support. We offer choices in models making our caps affordable. We accept most credit cards and offer several payment options, including various financing options making it more affordable.
What is the difference between lasers and LEDs for hair regrowth?
Capillus laser therapy devices use only medical grade laser diodes as a light source. What does this mean? You get the right amount of light energy exactly where you need it. Capillus uses lasers because the output penetrates deeper, better and is clinically proven to be therapeutic for their specific purpose.
Laser light does not spread as much as LEDs over the same distance, which allows lasers to penetrate tissue to a deeper level with higher concentration. For photobiomodulation therapy, the farther the light is from the target, the less intense and less effective the treatment will be.
For light therapy to be effective, it needs to reach the cells that respond well to photobiomodulation therapy.
LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulation of Emitted Radiation. This simply means that a source of light is amplified within a gain medium and emitted in a specific way. LASER produces a very intense beam of light which has the following properties:
- Monochromatic (meaning it consists of one wavelength)
- Coherent (meaning all parts are in phase)
- Collimated (meaning all parts travel in one and same direction)
LED stands for Light-emitting Diode. And it’s pretty much just that. A diode that emits light when electricity passes through it. Often in pretty colors.
LED light can produce collimated light (with a focusing lens) but not coherent light thus they do not concentrate all their power in a coherent beam. Laser diodes by definition produce effective gaussian to provide a wider range of coverage and coherent light output.
