It is normal to lose about 100-150 hairs a day, as new hair should grow (with or without laser) in place of those hairs that were lost. Sometimes we tend to lose more at certain times than at others and we quickly jump into panic mode. I cannot say if the laser treatment has regrown […]

Your email raises good questions that haven’t been asked here before, but I wish I had answers for you. Any answers to your questions would not have the proper data that can be depended upon. I would suspect that the amount of time exposed to the LLLT is not sufficient for the problems you are […]
I am impressed that you are seeing some growth and surprised about the shed you discussed. If you’re seeing growth at all, that absolutely should be considered positive. As to whether those hairs will get thicker, I couldn’t say. A man your age should be on Propecia (finasteride 1mg), as that will be the very […]
I am not completely familiar with laser hair removal or even hair removal in general, as my practice involves adding hair, not removing them. From what I know, laser hair removal can irritate the skin and it is a relatively painful procedure usually requiring more than one treatment to get complete hair removal, because hair […]
Good for you! Thanks for sharing this. You do agree that the results are sometimes disappointing compared to the advertisement, but I have seen many patients achieving similar results with Propecia alone, particularly in men under 27 years old. I can’t display the video on this page since he’s disabled the ability to embed the […]
While I believe it is safe to use a LaserComb after a hair transplant surgery, I do not necessarily recommend its use.
Minoxidil can be irritating to the skin. Try to keep it away from fresh wounds. If you can not, then it may be best to stop the minoxidil for a week or two and then restart it. The flakes you are seeing may be dried skin being shed and not the minoxidil that has dried […]
Firstly, I don’t believe I’ve ever regarded laser treatment for hair as a fraud. I just do not endorse this technology, because I have my issues with claims that are made being poorly documented as science. I call this pseudoscience and I can not ask for payments from patients for a treatment that I do […]
A hair transplant procedure has limitations, in that it simply can not restore all the hair that was lost, since there is a limited supply and usually a relatively large area to cover. Individuals with very fine hair often have see-through coverage, even with normal (birth) densities. As hair transplants rarely produce over 50% of […]
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is not used in connection with the actual surgical procedure. There were some doctors that used lasers to actually make the surgical incisions and the results were awful. That practice was stopped quickly for the most part, but not fast enough for me. There are many LLLT systems on the […]
Speak with your prescribing doctor about the warning. I found the following websites that may help you understand the warning: eMedicine – Drug-Induced Photosensitivity MedlinePlus – Hydrochlorothiazide
It won’t hurt, but it probably won’t help. Get a proper evaluation before you treat yourself. I see many flap procedure patients and have helped many of them. The changes that the laser comb will possibly bring you is like playing the lottery — in other words, it’s a huge gamble and probably not worth […]
I do not endorse body hair transplantation (BHT), because it is not the standard of care in hair transplant surgery. Body hair does not grow the same length or texture as scalp hair. Furthermore, the growth cycle of body hair is much slower and different than scalp hair. The growth phase for the hairs is […]
Any resurfacing of the scalp will damage the pigment cells and cause the color of the skin to lighten. It may also change the character of the skin surface and this may be more true when used for the treatment of a scar, which will require a deeper burn to get below the scar. I […]
The laser brush/comb probably has nothing to do with your hair loss and is probably either coincidence or just the normal progression of your hair loss. However, I suppose it could be possibly linked to a loss of hair. I have read a great deal about laser applications to hair. The Europeans have been using […]
