Abstract

A wearable hands-free apparatus for providing phototherapy treatment to a number of hair, scalp and skin related conditions includes a head unit (e.g., a headset, headphones, headband, or helmet unit) with earphones to allow the user to listen to an audio program during a treatment. The head unit supports a light emitting canopy band or plate fitted with an array of light generating sources, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes, infrared lights or other light sources, that emit light within a particular wavelength range correlating with the treatment of one or more specific hair, scalp and/or skin-related conditions. The light emitting canopy band or plate is specifically designed to conform to the shape of the human scalp for providing complete light coverage to the areas of the scalp that are most commonly affected by hair loss in men and women. In a further embodiment, a fixed or detachable face plate connects to the head unit and houses an array of the light generating sources for treating various facial skin-related conditions. A control system, preferably in a handheld device, allows the user to select the desired treatment program and audio operations.
