It works on hair that is still healthy enough to respond. Some vellus hairs have been miniaturized too long to recover, which is why starting sooner matters. Your consistency matters too. Be wary of any brand promising miracles on fully bald spots or dead follicles — no pill, topical, or light-based treatment can revive them. Encore works with the hair you still have. Start before it's gone.

No. The Laser Hat delivers low-level laser therapy through 256 medical-grade diodes. The device uses light alone, with no drugs and no incisions. Men and women can both use it.

Yes. Encore was built for men, but more and more women use it. The Laser Hat is backed by a randomized trial in women that found 37% more hair growth than a sham device. Women should check with their doctor before starting Encore Ritual or any other treatment.

Finasteride and dutasteride shut down an enzyme across your entire body. Encore Ritual stays on your scalp, where it belongs. No finasteride. No dutasteride. No hormones in any form. Just four peptides and a botanical complex working the night shift.

It's often sold that way, but neither topical finasteride nor topical dutasteride is FDA-approved. Topical versions are compounded. In 2025 the FDA warned that finasteride absorbed through the skin is expected to reach the bloodstream. It reported adverse events from compounded topical finasteride that match those seen with the pill, including erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, brain fog, anxiety, and depression. Most of those reports said the symptoms continued after people stopped using it. Hair loss treatment is a long-term commitment, so that's years of exposure. It's why we built Encore without them.

A laser diode emits a narrow band of light in a tight beam, so its output stays concentrated at the 655 nm wavelength used in the clinical trials. LEDs spread across a broader range of wavelengths and angles. The Encore Laser Hat carries 256 laser diodes and zero LEDs, and reaches full power the instant it switches on.

Laser Hat users can expect visible results in about six months of consistent use. Treat it like training. Stay consistent and you keep your gains. Stop, and they fade.
