Hairmax lux 9 question, please help

[Tracy C]

I can see how someone could convince themselves of results after spending the money...

Explain how others can see improvement. If you had read my post about it, you would have read that everyone in my life noticed the improvement in my hair. Even though I didn't tell anyone that I was doing anything about my hair loss. My own sister even bought one for herself based on the improvement she saw in my hair. You cannot explain that away.

LLLT does work - but it does not work for everyone. Yes, there are doctors who will refuse to accept any benefit from LLLT at all. But there are other well respected hair restoration doctors who have seen their patients benefit from LLLT. It is not garbage to everyone - but the price is too high. I'll give you that much - but no more.

Well I think we can agree to disagree. I appreciate your opinion and am happy you have found LLLT beneficial. Regardless I think this debate was helpful for the op and others as I think we have effectively laid out both schools of thought regarding LLLT.

The company that makes the Hairmax laser comb has had to prove both safety and efficacy multiple times - and they have done so successfully multiple times.

Could you post these studies please?

Why should i use it on the entire head?

well if i just only use it on the temples and in front it would save me a lot of time and would only take me 1-2 minutes.Can i do that?

also is there any dependance i mean do hair folices become dependent on the laser and must use it for life?I dont want to quit laser and end up worse

[Tracy C]

This whole notion of dependence is a point of great misunderstanding. Hereditary hair loss is a progressive condition that continues to do it's thing all your life. That means that whatever you do to treat your hereditary hair loss, regardless of what you do, you will need to keep doing it for the rest of your life. Whether you treat the problem or not, the condition is going to keep trying to progress. Treating it makes it more difficult for the condition to progress.

[Tracy C]

The studies are on the FDA website.

[powersam]

So you'll make a claim but not post the proof of that claim?

[baldy1990]

can you use it only in the area that you want to save time

It is not my place to prove anything to you. Lexington has already proven it to the FDA. You can read information from the FDA's website just as easily as I can.

[Tracy C]

I don't know. I use mine as directed.

[baldy1990]

is laser comb the best laser device i can get or there are better ones

The only laser device that I have personal experience with is the Hairmax laser comb. I know there are a few knock-offs on the market - but the knock-offs have not been cleared by the FDA. The Hairmax is the only one that has been cleared by the FDA thus far. I am aware that a couple of other makers of laser devices have applied for FDA clearance though. I just don't know if any of those have achieved clearance yet. The FDA is being very strict about these. The study for clearance of the laser cap is a better designed study than Lexington used for the Laser comb, which in and of themselves were a very well designed studies - double-blind, placebo controlled and evaluated by unbiased third parties. However, the Laser cap has not cleared yet as far as I know - and it is a lot more expensive.

I've read Lexington's study. It's a scam. In the study they actually show reduced growth. There is not a shred of evidence that LLLT improves hair quality in anyone.

[Tracy C]

No they don't. If you feel it is a scam, don't buy it. It has helped me and several other women. I know it is not a scam but I also know that it does not work for everyone.
