Can you overuse a laser comb??

[stylus187]

Is it possible to overuse the laser comb for hair loss or hair loss prevention treatment! I have a lot of knowledge on neuro transmitters, amino acid sequences, I cant pretend to really know much about this treatment! Anyone other then TRACY C, please reply!

I dint care if I hurt your feelings. Im not here to make Best Friends, Im here to learn, and educate. The mods pulled a post of mine. Im sorry but TRACY, IM very skeptical of you!
You highlight the laser comb, and cut and paste too many answers.

I do wish you recovery from this problem of hair loss. Put it this way, in over 15, 000 posts, your only the 5th person who makes me weary!!! Maybe It's just me!! , and my non trusting nature of people.

Just use it as directed.

You have no legitimate reason to be skeptical of me.

I’d be a lot more skeptical of the laser comb then Tracy C. I think Tracy is an incredibly valuable poster here, especially for the new guys. Keep ups the good work Tracy and don't worry about what some of the more bitter guys say.

I actually apologize!!!! Tracy C, I am sorry!!
In my line of work, im very skeptical of certain post. Clearly I was wrong about your intentions, as I have over-read some of your other post, about 94 to be exact! I work in the Bodybuilding industry and see a lot of scams, and people who actually claim to have purchased products from my company, and then post a bad review! When I ask these people for their order number, or shipping info, almost 99% of them happen to be other companies trying to bad mouth a competitor! Im sure you can see where I am going with this!!

Im man enough to admit when I am wrong.
Tracy C, I do apologize!
Best wishes

Apology accepted.

For what it's worth, I use mine every other day. I do that mainly because my hair is long, which makes it difficult for me to be sure I have treated my entire scalp. I also do that just in case I forget to do it when I should have. That way if I do forget, it shouldn't matter because I still would have done it three times that week. I'm not sure if that made any sense or not.

tracy, can you suggest a good laser comb?

[Tracy C]

The only one I have personal experience with is the 9-laser Hairmax laser comb. The only models that have been cleared by the FDA for treating hereditary hair loss are Hairmax laser combs manufactured by Lexington International. However, only the 9-laser model is FDA cleared for treating both male and female hereditary hair loss. I think it is important to note that I purchased my 9-laser Hairmax years before it received FDA clearance for treating women's hair loss. I do not know why it took so long to get clearance for treating women's hair loss. I do know that Lexington had to do a separate study to get clearance for treating women's hair loss.

I've never used any of the many other brands and models that are available. So I can't tell you if they do the same thing or not.

My docking charging station is not working! its less then 24 hrs old, and the charger wont work! I contacted Hairmax, I hope they honor there warranty, as it was only by me 2 separate times for about ten mins a piece. I put a full charge on the device, used it twice, kept it in its protective leather case, and went to fully charge it again, as battery was blinking low??? the charger would not blink, it wouldn't do anything. I'm highly annoyed. The brush is not cheap. I have faith that Hair max will come through! Such a bummer!!
It has a warm feeling to the scalp, at least for me i notice a little heat sensation! Hair max, Please honor your warranty!!!

[Tracy C]

I hope they honor there warranty...

There is no reason to think they wouldn't.

There is no reason to think they wouldn't.

Anton, from Hair Max has been the primary person that I have dealt with in regards to my faulty device. He emailed me the UPS return packaging slip last night. I gently cleaned the device with a soft baby towel, and put the device back into it's black leather case that it came with. Anton has promised to just send me a completely different device, vs. just the charger, and the charging cable, due to the entire device is having problems.
So far the Technical Support Team has been very helpful. The entire Hair Max staff has been friendly and professional. I suppose the true test will be in a few days when .and if my device arrives!

I have faith in Hair Max!!, wish me luck!!

Back when my sister and I bought ours, they were not cordless. Ours have a wall wart and a cord. I wondered how well the cordless versions were faring. Both of ours have worked perfectly since the day we received them. Our brother bought one of the new cordless ones for his his wife to use when she started chemo and I haven't heard any complaints from them so far. They've only had it for a couple of months. I know he is going to use it too but his hair is so far gone I don't expect it can do much for him. I suppose we will see.

First of all my Prayer's go out to your brother and his wife! I sincerely wish them the very best outcome with your brother's wife's, chemo treatments.

ok... Tracy C, The unit does seem to be built well. It does not have any cheap, or plastic feeling parts to it! I believe it was just one of those things that happen when we purchase electronic items! I'll post an update on how my new device operates once it arrives!!
p.s. Once again, I will keep your family in my prayers!

Thank you for the prayers. They were able to remove the mass and the chemo is a precautionary measure. This was caught early and her chances are vey good. Her spirits are high as well and that is very important.

Trying to get a laser comb -advices welcome

Just signed up on this site because It s been almost 9 months since i had surgery in Va and I m getting disapointed on the results as much as in the the place and the doctor that I had to deal with.I have the feeling he might need to quit on this.The follow up on my after surgery was the first think that bothered me because except one time a week after the surgery this doc so called Dr Botta , totaly disapered from the area.
Recently moved to Georgia and I had to continue my EXT treatment too and for the first time had the feeling that I talked to persons that were interested in my surgery and they seemd a little woried about the results too.also had the feeling that the doctor know about his job and it s not a big deal to talk to him.
They told me about the laser comb when I was there , about 6 month after the surgery.I got it and returned after reading some bad reviews ( had fun trying to take it mack the next day), but I still consider it another sol for better results and also I m very skeptical .plus I ve seen for the first time records and photos w people that had less grafts then me w better results.
I m a big fan of short hair and that might be a problem too.
I would like to hear couple more opinions because the biggest think that made me this skeptical is that they are really bad in promovating their products and keeping records of people like it s a big secret , exept the person that sels them wich always tells you they work and they good.
I would appreciate any answers even from Tracy which seems to be good at it.
Sorry Tracy , no ofense but like somebody sad , i m not here to make friends , but to get honest answers from honest people. I am very skeptical because the guy that convinced me to finally do the surgery at the end , he had it too and he came from Canada to tell me that which seemed pretty strange to me but I bought it for the same reason that we all understand .
Thank you and good luck to everybody

I've spent a lot of time lurking on hair restoration forums...researching and the like. I was under the impression that Haircomb therapy has been dismissed (for the majority) as a reliable alternative for stimulating hair growth.

See Dr. Feller, for example.

Don't get me wrong, my transplant surgeon believes in it's value. I actually still own one; used it for well over year, but literally saw no substantial reason (or read any substantial evidence) to continue doing so. In fact, I have read a lot to the contrary. Some claiming it could actually reduce hair count; some claiming that the FDA cleared versions aren't strong enough; some claiming that lasers have no properties that can restore tissue and therefore shouldn't be considered a viable alternative for stimulating hair growth (if I'm not mistaken); etc.

Anyway, to get back on topic, my lasercomb came with instructions to use it for 15 minutes at a time (if I remember correctly), 3-4 times a week. Meaning, I'd use it every other day. When I used it.

How is it working for you?
