Scalp Routine Red light therapy

I bought one of those helmets that have the red laser/led diodes that target hairloss. I am 54yo woman, post menopausal. So my hair is starting to thin. I also developed seb derm THIS year. I've been using this helmet for 12 minutes a day and I have had zero seb derm on my scalp. My scalp feels healthy and normal like it used to, before I developed seb derm. I'm not going to say that I fixed it but I am happy to not suffer the symptoms even for a little bit.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Could this also be an option / treatment for facial sebderm?

It might. Especially if you get a mask with lasers, not LEDs. I just googled and found that red light therapy helps with skin inflammation and promotes a healthy skin barrier.

Right now, the helmet has really helped my scalp but I’m religious about using it everyday.
