I'm going to test a LLLT helmet. Tracking my results here

[FAA952]

Alright, so I'm about a month in. I got a haircut today hoping to match the length of last month's picture, but accidentally got it cut way too short so I unfortunately these pics won't be much of a comparison. As a side note, I stopped taking Propecia about two weeks ago. I wasn't planning on stopping it, but I've feel like I've been getting some side affects (I've been taking it on and off for about 13 years, and have used it for at least a year straight if not longer). I may go back on later, but it'll be interesting to see if my laser helmet can at least maintain what I have without the meds.

My own observations are this: I feel like my hair quality has gotten better. I haven't noticed any shedding (this is still true since I quit using Propecia). Obviously a month is too early to see any real results, but hopefully there'll be something more substantial in month 2.

Anyway, here are the pictures.

Hey everyone, I've used this forum in the past and am going to use it to track my progress and keep myself motivated.

A little about me:

I'm 31 years old and have been experiencing hair loss since I was 18. I've used Propecia/Rogaine on and off since then, but have used it religiously for the past year. Several years ago, I met with a hair restoration surgeon who told me I had DUPA. Although I'm not 100% convinced that I do, I have been reluctant to look further into surgical restoration just in case my donor hair is poor/would be a temporary fix. I use a concealer to hide my thining areas, and while it does a great job, I hate how messy it leaves my bathroom and it also sometimes gets on my clothes and slows me down when I'm running late. I'd like to get to a point where I'm fully comfortable not using any concealers, and think I'm getting close.

So after a year, I think I've maxed out what I can do on Propecia/Rogaine (I also take Vitamin D daily) and have decided that I'm going to use a laser helmet (won't mention the brand name). I've use a laser comb in the past, and thought I had some decent results but truthfully I became lazy about using the comb hope that a helmet/hat device will be easier to use long term. I'm also going to add biotin to my diet. With that said, here is what I'm starting with (Pics taken March 27th, 2017):
