So are laser combs any good?

[Dan26]

From that point on I have been using the laser comb, men's Rogaine and Spiro.

I'm tellin' ya Trace, minoxidil sulphate would work even better for ya! I imagine with the transplants and what you are currently using you are holding up pretty good though?

Hi Tracey,

I respect you a great deal and you are an very well regarded poster not just by me but the community

I am not a woman or a diffuse thinner so possibly why it didnt work for me.

Im glad you feel its worked for you and i hope it continues to

Best regards

Thank you. I respect you a great deal too.

The more people I talk to who use it or have tried it, the more I am believing this to be the case. To offer an analogy that may better describe what I am talking about; think about losing weight. Take two people who need to lose weight, one is well over 300 pounds and the other is just under 200 pounds. If they both lose 30 pounds, the 30 pound loss will show much more on the person who was under 200 pounds than the person who was over 300 pounds.

Now if we translate that kind of analogy to hair loss; A person who is a Norwood V is not going to see as much benefit as a person who is a Norwood IV. A person who is a Norwood IV is not going to see as much benefit as a person who is a Norwood III - and so on. A person who is a diffuse thinner is more likely to see appreciable benefit than a person who has a well defined pattern of loss. This how it happened in my family between myself, my sister and our brother. My sister and I can see appreciable benefit, our brother who is a Norwood VI experienced no appreciable benefit from using it at all. Those few males I have talked to who have experienced appreciable benefit were males who either had lesser degrees of loss or were diffuse thinners.

I cannot agree with that simply because I know better. I would not say they are saint's either. They are just people like you and me. Most of whom are trying to do the best job they are able to do. They are certainly not perfect - but they are not evil.

You want to see real evil, just take a good close look at the snake oil market of shady unproven treatments for hair loss.

Tracy, do you have any before and after photos of your lasercomb use?

[Tracy C]

Back when I started treating my hair loss, I was not OK with having my picture taken - and the idea that I might need before and after pics didn't even occur to me. If I had known back then that I would eventually join this forum, I would have thought to take before pics.
