For those that missed it, I analyzed their “results” photos back in 2006 — Analyzing the Results of the HairMax Laser Comb. I looked at the link you sent, but I am not willing to make the invested time to analyze it again. Is there selective circling? I don’t know. There’s nothing there that will […]

It does NOT have FDA approval. It has FDA clearance for marketing, and the product was grandfathered in. We haven’t seen lasers work as claimed anywhere and on anyone that could be said to be objective. I’ve written about this topic many times before. Further reading can be found here.
LaserComb does not cook DHT, nor have I seen evidence that any of the hair lasers do anything to DHT. People can believe what they want to believe, but there has yet to be any scientific study that provides a connection. I suppose that maybe what the guy with a blog reported in reversing hair […]
I believe the hair lasers received the FDA clearance by a loophole, with the technology being grandfathered in as a device marketed before 1976, when the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 gave the FDA the authority over devices like this. Remember, these hair lasers do not have FDA approval, but simply FDA clearance. The sellers […]
I reached out to a reader/writer/commenter that has previously sent in some great insights about FDA trials to get his thoughts on the latest Lexington HairMax LaserComb study that was released (read the abstract of the study here). He wrote back with a great overview, and although lengthy, it’s a worthy read for those interested. […]
I don’t think that the LaserComb would produce any harm to transplanted hairs. I doubt it’ll be “great” for them, but if you’re happy with your hair health on non-transplanted hairs, by all means…
From what I gather, Lexington started started selling other models of their Laser Comb that were never cleared by the FDA, and yet they were inferring that they were FDA cleared. My favorite part of that letter states, “These changes could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of these devices and therefore, pursuant to 21, […]
I’d guess that many have tried, but there were no significant differences. It’s my opinion that these laser combs or brushes don’t really work. In every patient I’ve seen that has used the home lasers, the therapy didn’t work. I also do realize that I probably won’t see any patients that had great results (why […]
You’re right. A rep for Lexington posted in the comments back in March of this year stating, in part — “We are currently drafting a medical review of the study to be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. We have every intention of publishing the study and making the full results available for public scrutiny.” I’ve […]
An insightful reader sent me this great email below, adding to the ongoing laser hair treatment debate, but also providing some clear bullet points of information that much of the media seemed to miss. ————————– I’d like to join in the HairMax LaserComb debate, not on whether Lexington’s clinical trials were scientifically sound or whether […]
I would guess that a Low Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) device like the LaserComb should not impact pregnancy. Ask your doctor and check with the medical warnings in the package.
We appreciate your excellent observations and input into such a controversial subject. I would hope that our readers take the time to reread your comments carefully, for in those comments there are many insights into the research process and when it is credible. For more from this thread of critical back and forth, see: Critical […]
Adderall is known to cause hair loss or thinning in some people. I can not even guess what will happen to you over time. Do not stop taking prescribed medication without discussing it with your prescribing physician. Taking Propecia is good and one way to halt your hair loss. The LaserComb, to my knowledge, does […]
I would love to believe that the technology works, but as yet, I can not become a supporter. I will look forward to your new publication and will read it with interest. I try to give controversial issues space on this blog to give a balanced view, so your response is appreciated.
You make many great points and perhaps the manufacturer of the LaserComb (and other manufacturers of similar products) will see your post and address the points you brought up. I know they’ve read this site in the past, as I’ve received correspondence from them when I disputed claims made on their site over a year […]
