I am a 21 year old who has some thinning hair on my crown and the hairline, my regimen is spectral dnc-n and fin every other day (I felt less of a sex drive so I switched it, any thoughts on that?) I am thinking of getting the hairmax lux 9, I'm just scared it will make things worst...money is no issue so please spare that, I just wanna know if its risky and your thoughts, thanks a lot everyone! I read that the 9 is the best one and that's why I chose that one!

Walk over to the garbage and throw $400 into it, you will get the same results as buying a laser comb. Or you could just send the $400 to my paypal account...
Also I have heard of several people switching to every other day with fin and having the same results as taking it everyday. Take pictures and monitor your progress -
Has anyone on here had anything from those laser combs, I see a lot of people use them on here?Comment

The laser comb does work - but it doesn't work for everyone. I use it myself and I have gained benefit from using it. So has my sister - and so have many other women I have chatted with since joining this forum and the Women's Hair Loss Project. I have not chatted with very many men who have gained benefit from using it though. With that said I am currently under the impression that it probably works better for women than it does for men.
If you do decide to give it a try, make sure to get it directly through Hairmax. That way you will get the money back guarantee. The time frame of the guarantee they offer is sufficient to determine if you are benefiting from using it or not. If it does not give you the benefit you expect, just send it back within that time frame for a refund.
This is not a true statement.
Really? I have only chatted with a few members of this forum who have actually tried it. Most of those who claim the laser comb does absolutely nothing have not even tried it. So take those statements that claim it does nothing with a grain of salt. Take my statements with a grain of salt as well. As I stated above, I do believe it probably works better for women than it does for men.Comment

What I said is most definitely a true statement. Laser light therapy does zero for mpb, period. I believe that there are some benefits in terms of healing, like for example after someone has a transplant and possibly helps with overall hair health, but it will do jack to help with mpb. I could see it maybe working better for women than for men but the op is a man, so...
I have used the hairmax comb religiously for almost a year in the past all it did was waste my time and lighten my wallet. I also under went treatment with a commercial laser 3 times a week for about 6 months and there was zero benefit. Don't waste your time or moneyComment

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. I've been using mine since November of 2007, which was long before it was cleared for treating FPB. My sister got hers six months later after seeing how much it helped with my hair. In all this time, neither of us have had any problems from using it. I haven't heard or read from anyone else who had a problem from using it. My sister and I both use it every other day for about 10 to 15 minutes. 10 to 15 minutes is plenty of time to treat your whole scalp.Comment

As an adjunct therapy to Propecia / Minoxidil it may be of some use to hair quality and to a lesser extent hair retention. This is a personal view based on experience!
If you have those modest goals, you could consider a purchase, just don't expect miracles!Comment

stay with the tried and true which is minoxidil, proscar, etc.Comment

I have common androgenetic alopecia. Both MPB and FPB run very strong on my mother’s side of the family. My primary care doctor told me about the laser comb in the fall of 2007. It had just received FDA clearance not long before that. So I bought one and gave it a try. My hair did thicken up and the quality of my hair improved noticeably. I did not tell anybody back then that I started treating my hair loss, yet everyone in my life noticed the improvement in my hair and commented about it. Obviously, they also asked how I did it. Back at that time, the laser comb was the only treatment I was using. So this improvement cannot be associated with anything else other than using my laser comb. My sister is also suffering with androgenetic alopecia. She bought herself a laser comb after seeing the improvement in my hair. My sister experienced the same benefits as I have.
The laser comb does not work for everyone – but it does work. What LLLT does is it increases the caliber of the hair you have. It increases the strength of the hair that you have. It improves the quality of the hair that you have. It also makes your hair grow faster. This includes hair that grows back from using Minoxidil. Guys may not be able to appreciate the benefits of those four things – but a woman certainly can. I have continued to use my laser comb since the day I received it - and I intend to keep using it.Comment

My problem has been behind my hair line. This is my sisters problem as well. My mother, aunts and female cousins on the other hand lost their hair from the hair line back just like guys with the "A" type of MPB do.
I am not sure if the length of hair matters but it is a good thought. It just might matter. I'm going to ponder over that for a while.

here is a discussion posted by a very well respected transplant surgeon:

(remove the bold dot and the spaces in the above link, so stupid we can't post certain links)
I have never seen any legitimate before and after photos that justify the cost of LLLT. Like I said previously I have used both at home and commercial LLLT and it was a complete waste of time. I can see how someone could convince themselves of results after spending the money, but it is garbage. To the op, do what you want, but don't expect muchComment
