Your hair regrowth journey, tracked in one place. The Capillus App connects to your Capillus Red Light Therapy Cap over Bluetooth and gives you everything you need to stay consistent with your treatment, from session timers to progress photos. TREATMENT TRACKER Connect your cap via Bluetooth, start your 6-minute session, and let the app log it. Every completed session is automatically recorded in your weekly and monthly calendar, so you always know exactly where you stand. The recommended protocol is one session per day, and the app helps you stick to it. PROGRESS TRACKER Take high-quality progress photos from four different angles: crown, temples, and front hairline, and the app organizes them into albums automatically. Compare before-and-after photos side by side to see your own regrowth journey unfold over time. STAY ON TRACK Personalize your account settings, manage treatment reminders, and get hair care tips designed to help you get the most out of every session. BACKED BY FDA-CLEARED TECHNOLOGY Capillus laser caps use FDA-cleared, clinically studied red light therapy (low-level laser therapy) to support hair regrowth.
