    This doctor is either a liar or has not looked at the facts himself. Laser is not FDA approved. ONE laser was "cleared" for safety and that was Lexington Laser Comb. More specifically, it received what is known as a 510K clearance which means it was cleared for safety based on similarly engineered equipment that was manufactured before 1976 when the FDA granted authority over medical equipment and devices by Congress. Lexington Laser Comb submitted their own efficacy studies to the FDA but it does not mean that the FDA took these studies under consideration therefore it is not cleared or "approved" for efficacy. In fact, it uses the same lasers that you can find on a 5.00 laser pointer at Office Depot.

    I think it's best to stay away from clinics that sell LLLT. False hope, false truth.

    So if a patient does hair transplants mainly for his/her receiding hairline and ends up not taking medications, there is a chance that his cortex can thin and he can go bald, is it dumb for a patient to chose this path or should the patient be on medications right after the surgery?
