    Laser caps?

    They claim to regrow hair, I use to use the laser comb. I didn't see any regrowth, MAYBE thicker hair. It seems like they have improved these devices, I'm feeling desperate and might get one of these helmets if it were to stop or even help regrow a little.

    Laser anything for hair is just a fancy 21st century snake oil.

    Like thinning87 said, have some self respect.

    I wonder if it will be approved for grid use in Tron.

    It does make you hair thicker, but it also accelerates hair loss of the weak hairs that you have. As said above, snake oil.

    Listen, I am NW7 and recently I noticed that a new hair (just 1 -one- hair) grew where I had a hairline in teen age. I was very much surprised. I used nothing on my bare scalp. And what to use anyway, there is nothing for this level of baldness. So, this means that a mini black hole from CERN accidentally flew over my head and by its strong tidal force, it pulled that hair out. :eek: :D

    Yes, you guessed it, those creepy mini black holes created in the CERN experiments are much more effective than any laser of today. :p

    Go for it. Let us know what you experience.

    It's really hard to compare different caps/helmets. Same as PRP, makes sense but diffent Doctors use it differently. There is NO industry standard to what works the best heck you even have guys saying Fin doesn't work.

    If you're already on fin+minox without results, go for it. Take pictures. I'm also considering a laser caps, but it is so damn expensive.

    So what do you make of these studies Bojac posted in the thread on the Igrow? Do you think they are fake or badly conducted?

    Having used a Hairmax comb, without much effect, I'm quite sceptic too, but when I see these results I believe LLLT at least could do something.

    "While applying lasers to the backs of shaven mice, Mester noticed that the shaved hair grew back more quickly on the treated group than the untreated group"

    So basically Low Level Laser appears to alter growth speed. No mention whether it can reverse miniaturization and the associated fibrosis.

    Guys, let's wake up. Those articles are written to mock bald people in general and specifically bald people who are desperate enough to try anything. Take them for what they are.
