I generally do not trust clinical studies that are not double blinded, or have researchers with something to gain from the results. Most studies in the low level light area have failed to prove that there is a scientific result that is clearly positive. I’m not a laser expert by any means, so I’ll defer […]

There is really nothing you can do to make your hair transplant grow (this goes for both men and women). If the hair transplant was a success, then only time will tell. Women’s hair transplant surgery is a bit different then men’s for a number of reasons, with a main one being that the donor […]
There is a difference in wanting something to desperately work and something actually working. Sometimes you have to face the fact there really is no treatments for some types of balding. There is no right direction I can guide a desperate patient who will just about try anything. I realize this sounds very pessimistic but […]
I personally do not think any laser works for treating hair loss, and I think what you are seeing could be a coincidence. I have not heard of increased hair loss from a using a LaserComb. Propecia is a great medication, but you will still lose some hair as you use it. The point is […]
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…
It is difficult to tell in the after photo, as it isn’t close up and the lighting is different. It looks like his hair is just a bit longer or he could be using medication. I’m not even sure how much time was between the before and the after photo. I did write about David […]
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 […]
I am not a fan of this technology, but the HairMax, Rezultz, and Bosley LaserComb models are all made by the same company — Lexington International. So it is one manufacturer and likely the only difference between each is the logo and the price the reseller charges (all well over the price they’re worth, in […]
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 […]
Generally, I rarely see any gain in hair growth at two months no matter what type of treatment. So you must be doing something that no one is aware of. In short, I really cannot comment on what is going on with your hair growth or hair loss, and I really don’t know why you […]
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 […]
