1. Introduction

Helios Cap is a next-generation low-level laser therapy (LLLT) device engineered in the United Kingdom to help people address androgenetic hair loss at home. Our mission is to make clinically inspired hair-restoration technology accessible, beautifully designed, and backed by transparent science — without the clinic price tag or the gimmicks that dominate the category today.

• Session time — typical 20-minute hands-free session, three times per week.
• Form factor — lightweight helmet with adjustable fit; rechargeable, cable-free in use.
• Launch — Q4 2026.
• Price — £999 (recommended retail).

6. Key talking points

Angles journalists most commonly pick up on:

• Highest diode count in the consumer category. 320 true 650 nm laser diodes — more than HairMax 82, Capillus 272, Kiierr 272, and LaserCap 304. Not red LEDs padded to look like lasers.
• Configurable pulse protocols — a first in consumer LLLT. Three delivery modes — Continuous, Super-pulse 10 Hz, Super-pulse 1 kHz — selectable per-session from the companion app. Every other consumer cap ships locked to a single fixed mode.
• Built by a software company, not a clinic. Helios was started by an engineer who couldn't find a serious at-home device between £3,000 clinic caps and £200 Amazon novelties, and decided to specify the missing middle. Modern consumer-electronics origin, not a medical-device incumbent.
• Full-scalp coverage, including temples, sides, and back. The rigid helmet geometry fixes every diode at the correct distance from the scalp. Most competitors cover only the crown and leave receding hairlines untreated.
• Evidence-based protocol, not marketing cadence. 20-minute sessions, three times a week — the exact regimen used across the peer-reviewed randomised trials that support low-level laser therapy for androgenetic alopecia. The app tracks adherence automatically.
• Improves after purchase, over-the-air. Firmware updates deliver new protocols and refinements to devices already in customers' hands, via the Helios iOS app — no return to factory, no replacement hardware.
• UK-designed, UK-assembled, honest one-time price. Engineered and assembled in Cambridgeshire. £999 flat, no subscription, no consumables, no in-app paywall. The £1,500–£3,000 clinic-tier caps we looked at while designing Helios offered fewer diodes, no configurable protocols, and no companion app — we treat them as a price ceiling, not a spec ceiling.
