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.
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 […]
I’ve written extensively about laser therapies, and quite frankly, they don’t work. In my opinion, they’re a good way to sell something to the desperate patient, but the results are not what one might expect. I had a large professional machine in my office some years back and offered it free to my patients. No […]
Lasers are wonderful devices, but I would not recommend their use in hair transplant procedures in any manner. When they were used, they produced significant burns adding to complications that rarely occur otherwise.
Snippet from the article: Read the rest at Engadget — iGrow promises to regrow hair with lasers, accessorize any wardrobe And it looks so classy! Any regular reader to this site knows how I feel about the laser hair therapies that make big claims with little to back it up, but this one goes a […]
I was flipping through the current Nov/Dec issue of the Hair Transplant Forum International (a print newsletter for the hair transplant industry) and wanted to share something I read. Dr. Paco Jimenez, the co-editor of the Forum, reviewed three oral presentations from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) meeting in Boston a couple […]
We have posted many times on the efficacy of lasers for hair growth, and in my opinion, it simply does not work. But alas, it’s my opinion… and if you or anyone who buys and wears a “laser cap” can show me proof of the before/after results, then maybe my opinion will change. For a […]
We have written in the past about the LaserComb — basically, we don’t feel it works for treating hair loss. Rogaine, however, is an option if you are persistent enough to apply it twice a day, everyday. In my opinion, most men are horrible at keeping to a regimen and it is a factor you […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full story at FOX Chicago — Hair Regrowth Center Accused of Swindling Clients out of Thousands This is a follow-up to a post from late last year about a laser hair clinic in Chicago being sued for fraud… and as it turns out, the story is much more complex. […]
I do not use the laser in my office, so I’m probably the wrong person to ask. I put in hair… I don’t remove it. Removing facial (beard hair in men) with a laser can be time consuming and costly. I don’t know success rates off hand, but you can speak with a dermatologist experienced […]
Snippet from the press release: Read the full PR — New Laser Cleared by Food and Drug Administration for the Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss The study that is referenced was done by Dr. Koher in North Carolina, but I can’t find any information about it outside of this press release (not even on […]
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 […]
You can put styling products (pomade) to make your hair “feel” thicker. Medically, you can take Propecia (finasteride) to thicken the shaft size, but it is not a permanent solution. Herbal products and shampoos that claim hair thickening may accomplish this by adding water to the hair shaft. There is no scientific proof that Low […]
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 […]
