First I would want to know if your expectations were set correctly. You say you are disappointed, so I ask why? There is a suggestion in your question that your hair is continuing to appear thinner. Did you experience shock hair loss (rare with a person on Propecia, but more common in young men under […]

I doubt that the Laser Comb has any negative effects, including any effects on fertility. Low laser light is not like radiation, so its depth of penetration is very limited. Think of it like a flashlight, where it shines is where any effect may be. The major effect may simply be that it does not […]
As I’ve said previously, Nioxin makes a good set of products that are popular, but there appears to be nothing in it that will stop hair loss. I’ve also commented on Procerin and laser therapy previously. Good starting points for blog posts about lasers can be found here and here. Dying your hair, when done […]
There are some promising studies out there about low laser light therapy treatments for hair loss. There is still, however, a need for better and more appropriate science to back up claims that this therapy can actually grow hair. I’ve written about lasers many times before on this blog, such as here, here, and here. […]
These photos were sent to me by Dr. Richard Burgmeier in Arizona who had a patient with Alopecia Totalis that failed to respond to treatment for many years. Dr. Burgmeier said: “The patient is sixteen years of age and had the problem since the age of twelve. She has seen different doctors and has tried […]
Update: We are constantly asked about the effects of Low Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) for hair loss. A man who used the laser on our office showed me the impact of the laser on his hair with before and after pictures. He went to a company called Laser Hair Solutions, which uses a proprietary laser […]
Whew! You need a whole hour-long cosultation with a hair doctor to answer all of these questions, but I’ll try to give you some short answers in the meantime. DHT and genetics are the biggest factors in hair loss. DHT is a hormone that is present in your blood (which flows through the scalp but […]
The recommended treatment by those that are experienced with lasers (not me) are three times a week for 6 weeks, then twice a week for another 6 weeks, then once a week for the remaining one year. If it works, more might be better. I can not attest for its value at this time. You […]
I am unfamiliar with this “laser pen” he is using, but if you think that the aching follows the use of the laser pen, then I would believe that the laser pen is the cause. Perhaps it would be helpful to read my past blog entries regarding the use of lasers in hair therapy, and […]
For your type of problem, lasers are not the best approach as they have a generally poor response (30% after one treatment) and unknown long term results. Please send me photos of your situation from front, sides, and top view with hair dry and then another set of photos with your hair wet. Include one […]
Where are you trying to remove the gray hair from? Generally, gray hair has less pigment cells and less pigment in the shafts so it will be more resistant to laser destruction.
I looked at the site referred to in your question. There is not enough information for me to judge what FUE plus is. When I purchase a bottle of shampoo and the company comes up with a new version of the shampoo they may add the term ‘plus’ to the name. The detergent market for […]
There is anecdotal evidence in Europe that hair lasers (Low Level Light Therapy / LLLT) increases hair growth. I’ve written about LLLT previously, here. Thinning of the hair in young men often starts off insidiously and gets slowly worse. At the beginning, you might actually lose 50% or more of your hair before you notice […]
I have been bombarded with questions about Low Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) for hair growth stimulation since I started writing the BaldingBlog. The above are just two recent examples which reflect the wide variations in questions, one of which was already answered in a previous entry. To address these questions, I have prepared and will […]
Chances are that your hair loss is progressing on its own. If you are not taking Propecia, you should probably be on it, but you need to see a good doctor to understand what is happening.
