Continuous Mode vs. Pulse Mode in LLLT Therapy
Continuous Mode vs. Pulse Mode in Laser Hair Growth Therapy
When considering a laser hair growth device, most people focus on the number of lasers or total treatment time. But there’s one often-overlooked feature that can make a real difference in your experience and results:
👉 The choice between Continuous Mode and Pulse Mode.
Our laser hair growth helmet is designed with both options — because not all scalps are created equal.
So what’s the difference, and which one is best for you?
What Is Continuous Mode?
Continuous Mode delivers a steady, uninterrupted stream of 650nm low-level laser light to your scalp during the entire treatment session (typically 20–30 minutes).
✅ Benefits:
- Maximum Energy Delivery: Ideal for those with lower sensitivity or moderate-to-severe hair loss.
- Consistent Penetration: Provides full stimulation to hair follicles without any gaps.
- Best for Stubborn or Long-Term Hair Loss Cases
✅ Recommended For:
- People with non-sensitive scalps
- Men and women with moderate to advanced thinning
- Those who have used LLLT before and tolerate it well
What Is Pulse Mode?
Pulse Mode delivers the same 650nm laser light, but in short, rhythmic bursts — switching rapidly between on and off states. In the Wellue Laser Hair Growth Helmet, this mode is precisely calibrated to emit laser twice per second (2 Hz), offering a balanced stimulation pattern.
✅ Benefits:
- Gentler on the Scalp: Reduces thermal buildup and overall light intensity.
- Enhanced Cellular Responsiveness: Studies suggest pulsed light may promote mitochondrial activity more effectively in certain individuals.
- Ideal for Light-Sensitive Users: Those who are sensitive to light or have poor light absorption due to scalp conditions or skin tone may find better comfort and effectiveness with this setting.
✅ Recommended For:
- First-time users of laser therapy
- Individuals with light-sensitive scalps
- Users with poor scalp light absorption (e.g., due to darker skin or low blood flow)
- Those combining laser therapy with other topicals like minoxidil
Why Wellue Offer Both Modes?
Because everyone’s hair loss journey is unique.
Some users may benefit from more aggressive stimulation, while others need a more delicate approach, especially in the early stages. Our dual-mode design ensures you don’t need to compromise between effectiveness and comfort

How to Choose the Right Mode for You
Still unsure which to use? Here’s a quick guideline.
Start with Pulse Mode if:
- You’re new to laser therapy
- You have a sensitive scalp
- You’re using other treatments like minoxidil
Switch to Continuous Mode if:
- You feel comfortable after a few sessions
- You want to maximize laser intensity
- You have more advanced or stubborn hair thinning
Most users benefit from alternating modes as their scalp adapts.
Final Thoughts
The success of laser hair therapy doesn’t just depend on how often you use it — but how well you personalize it.
Choosing between Continuous and Pulse Mode helps you tailor your treatment to your unique scalp sensitivity and hair loss level.
🔴 Continuous Mode gives you full power.
✨ Pulse Mode gives you gentler care.
You get both — in one intelligent device.
