What the study is about:
Hair thinning and shedding are common side effects for people taking GLP-1 weight-loss injections. They usually start a few months after someone begins treatment. Over 6 months, we'll be looking at how the CurrentBody LED Hair Regrowth Helmet may support hair growth and scalp health in this group. We'll measure this with professional scalp imaging, hydration readings, before-and-after photos and participant feedback.

- Ozempic (semaglutide)
- Wegovy (semaglutide)
- Rybelsus (semaglutide)
- Mounjaro (tirzepatide)
- Zepbound (tirzepatide)
- Saxenda (liraglutide)

- Byetta / Bydureon (exenatide)
- Has noticed hair thinning or shedding since starting
- Any age over 18, any gender
- Able to get to Alderley Edge, Cheshire for 3 visits over 6 months
What's involved

- Using the CurrentBody LED Hair Regrowth Helmet at home as directed
- A short WhatsApp check-in every 2 weeks, and a home photo each month (we'll show them how)
