Hair Laser Comb's

[FineHair]

Contact Lexington and ask them to send you all seven studies.

Some refuse to believe or accept LLLT could be helpful to anyone in any way. That's just the way it is. Some doctors have seen their own patients benefit from using LLLT.

There are also a number of reputable hair restoration doctors who have conducted their own studies to determine the efficacy of LLLT. One doctor that I have a lot of respect for found that the usage schedule as recommended by Lexington is not adequate for best results. He found that it works better when used every other day rather than three times a week. I have used mine every other day since reading the power point presentation of his study results.

There was a Dateline experiment that included the Hairmax laser comb several years ago. I found it on Youtube.

Which doctor's studies was this? I'd like to read it. Thanks.

Fair enough. I still don't feel 21 hairs per square centimeter is a lot. But anyways, think of their claim this way. Those terminal hairs didn't sprout out of the scalp as terminal hairs. LLLT does not do that. Those terminal hairs were vellus hairs before treatment. What doctors who have studied LLLT themselves have found is that LLLT increases the caliber of individual hairs, it increases the strength of individual hairs, it improves the quality of individual hairs and it makes hair grow faster (women love this part BTW). However, if you have a square centimeter of scalp that has less than 21 vellus hairs in it, you will not get 21 terminal hairs out of that area of scalp, no matter what treatment you use. Remember, nothing works on areas that are slick bald - except hair transplant surgery.

What do you mean by vellus hair? If you mean little golden hair by them, I've got plenty of them on my head, but I don't think LaserComb will do anything to make them terminal hair.

Have you tried the lasers, if so, which one?

LOL why would I do that?

Why would one doc not sell laser and say what you just said that the lasers have been cleared for safety and not efficacy and the other doctor tell me it's cleared for safety and efficacy?

Simple. Money. Doctors who give Laser treatments obviously make money from it. Doctors who don't offer it have no vested interest in promoting false science, therefore they will speak the truth. There is no scientific evidence as of yet that LLLT can help hair growth. Lexington only submitted one study that was published in a peer reviewed journal. Peer review is the only meaningful way to assess accuracy and truth. All other Lexington studies are meaningless.

So the doctor that sells LLLT basically would be a horrible hair transplant surgeon because they are giving false hope to the patient that the LLLT would work, right?

Is it ridiculous for a patient to get hair transplants and not take medication (finasteride, minoxidil) due to the patient being scared of the potential side effects?

Not all doctors who have patients that have benefitted from LLLT sell LLLT in their practice. For example; the doctor I mentioned who wrote the power point presentation of his own study of LLLT does not sell or even offer LLLT in his practice. He simply wanted to find out for himself if LLLT can do any good. He found that it can do some good and advises his patients based his is own findings. Not the claims of the manufacturer.

The patient needs to be aware of the limitations of surgery and the reality that his hair loss will likely progress without attempting to treat it. In short, if the patient has realistic expectations given his own circumstances, it isn't foolish at all.
