Popular Riverdale actress Lili Reinhart recently opened up about her battle with alopecia in a TikTok video where she documented her experience with red light therapy. In the clip, she disclosed that she was diagnosed with alopecia during a challenging period of a major depressive episode.
The Hollywood Reporter brought attention to Lili Reinhart’s revelation, emphasizing her candidness about the autoimmune condition that leads to hair loss by attacking hair follicles. Alopecia primarily affects the head and face but can manifest anywhere on the body. The National Alopecia Areata Foundation reports that approximately 6.7 million people in the United States are affected by this disorder, which currently has no identified cause.
In the video shared on social media, Lili Reinhart can be seen lip-syncing to audio where a man expresses being pushed beyond the limits of endurance. Alongside the clip, she added the caption, “Red light therapy is my new best friend #alopecia #mentalhealth.”

While the National Institute of Health states that there is no cure for alopecia, there are claims that red light therapy can aid in stimulating hair growth, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter.
This isn’t the first time Reinhart has been open about her struggles. In a 2020 interview with Refinery29, she discussed the ups and downs in her career and mental health, acknowledging facing a “black tunnel” of despair. Despite the challenges, she emphasized the importance of confronting her pain head-on rather than seeking solace in external influences.
The Riverdale star’s willingness to share her journey with alopecia and mental health challenges serves as a reminder of the importance of destigmatizing such discussions and fostering a supportive environment for those facing similar battles.
