This young man went on finasteride, minoxidil, pumpkin seed oil and used LLT for 3 months, appearing to shrink the size of the balding crown

Here is the article, you judge for yourself. These units are expensive and from what I hear, the benefits are marginal. One of the problems with LLLT is the distance from the scalp and the amount of hair between the LLLT and the scalp. The longer the distance and the more hair, the less effective […]
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24078483/ It demonstrates “A 39% percent hair increase was demonstrated” Photography has lots of problems with it mostly because it is subjective, depends upon views and lighting, length of hair where small increases in length make a big difference. Defined hair counts with tattoo placement to guarantee that the same field would be examined to […]
If you want to try LLLT, it is your prerogative and my opinions should not really matter. If you are trying to change my opinion on the LLLT, then I would really need to see the results first hand or read a well done study. I have written about the studies you mention above in […]
The hair loss timing and your stopping the laser treatment could just be coincidence. There is no satisfactory evidence that the laser treatment works to slow progressive genetic hair loss, but if you started using it again and it reversed your hair loss, then I might become a believer. I haven’t personally seen hair regrow […]
I don’t have a recommendation for you. Some doctors or medical clinics promote low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to increase hair growth, but we believe that it does not work. We haven’t seen the results to back up the claims. It’s one way for generating revenue for doctors with the power of the MD behind it.
Snippet from the press release: Read the rest — Apira Science’s iGrow In-Home, Hands-Free Hair Growth System Earns FDA Clearance Just another low level light laser. There must be money in selling these! Remember, FDA clearance is different from FDA approval. All this is saying is that this can be sold because it is safe, […]
I’ve embedded the video here: The results in the video look good, but they are not my experience. I had the identical low level light laser (Revage) about 5 years ago in my office. It was given to me free of charge in hopes that I would endorse the product. To find out if it […]
I have written about the laser hair therapies in the past, and I’ve been unimpressed with the results compared to the promises and claims the companies make. This goes for the in-office large machines and the at-home handheld lasers. I’ve yet to see regrowth as claimed. You can read those past posts on the blog, […]
In my clinical experience, laser light therapy for hair growth did not work on the many patients who used it in my office. I even offered its use at no charge. I do not run a research institution so I can not afford to create a formal study on this subject. I returned the laser […]
I believe the machine was a Revage 670, but I’m trying to get confirmation and will update this post if I discover the name or model is incorrect. As for actual use, I left the decision up to the patient, but recommended three applications a week. About half of those using it stuck to the […]
Hi. Body hair transplants should only be used if you are out of donor hair from the scalp. The growth cycle of body hair is different than scalp hair, as well as the hair characteristics themselves. Finasteride (Propecia) is an antiandrogen. An antiandrogen is something that inhibits the effects of androgens in the body. See […]
First of all, there is no proof that low level laser therapy (LLLT) works for regrowing hair. If it did, then I would assume that you would have to stay on the course for life just like minoxidil and Propecia. Your questions tells much about the problem and confusion in this field. It would be […]
I would doubt that it would give any benefit.
As I’ve said, the medical field is often referred to as the “practice” of medicine and not “science” of medicine. Thus, sometimes doctors do not know why certain treatments work and sometimes they are wrong in prescribing a treatment. With respect to lasers, you can approach it from either a scientific perspective or a capitalistic […]
