Did you try it long enough? I think at least 6 months is necessary.
Going by 4 published scientific studies and hundreds of positive reviews on Amazon I think it must be doing something. The iRestore is on a 4.0 out of 5.0 rating now. Sure some reviews can be fake, but not 300 positive reviews.

I have only tried it for about 3 months now, in my subjective experience it's doing something. I need more time though to truly evaluate the results and my pictures.

Here you have the first one in complete not just the preview you could only access. Plz use only for private use as this a copyright owned document.
One of the few perks of being an academic scientist is we have access to everything published.

Thanks for the offer but I also have access to all of them, thanks to our Russian friends (sci-hub).

OK well , What I can do is to check if this is actual good science. But I can tell you no one in real life has any results. For instance the study behind the use of Nizoral for hair loss is not good science. All it shows is Fina works and minox and keto are equally useless. Problem is doctors are not very good at understanding studies...most of the time. Only people in the research field themselves can really judge.

Let us know what you think. I think funding could be a problem as most of the studies are obviously funded by the manufacturers.
That last systematic review I linked to put LLLT above minoxidil. I found that pretty interesting.
But I can tell you no one in real life has any results.
Out of curiosity, how do you explain the 300+ positive reviews for the iRestore on Amazon?

I have a highend Theradome I will gladly sell to you if you really believe in it. No wires, super light and off course a good discount.

True, placebo effects can be strong. Some of those studies though were placebo controlled with a sham device.

Thanks for the offer. Somehow Theradome seems to get worse reviews. Not sure why.
I'm currently using iRestore. I was considering 'upgrading' to a 128 diodes device from China, if they're worth it. Can't find any reviews though.
If you get to read those studies I linked to above I'll be interested in hearing your opinion.
