Cap-style OLED wearable suppresses hair-follicle aging for effective hair-loss treatment.

Say goodbye to bulky helmet devices! A new OLED wearable cap offers a safe, effective way to combat hair loss by targeting hair-follicle cell aging. Comfortable, flexible, and designed for everyday use, this breakthrough could change the future of hair restoration.

A groundbreaking wearable technology may soon transform the way hair loss is treated. Traditional phototherapy devices for hair restoration are often heavy, rigid helmets that limit mobility and consistent scalp coverage. Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have developed a soft, cap-like device using flexible OLED technology that promises effective, noninvasive hair-loss treatment. This innovation targets hair-follicle cell aging—a key factor in hair loss—while offering a comfortable, everyday wearable alternative.
