What are your thoughts? Thank you.
      Call me hopeful, or positive, but I truly sense this device is helping the texture of my hair. I had a very mild patch of psoriasis on my scalp. Ive tried every damn cream, and steroidal medication offered. My patch is getting smaller and seems to be healing. If this is a placebo effect, I'll gladly except it. "You must remember with positive thoughts come positive results".
      Im not saying that Ive grown any new hair. Im just stating my instincts believe this might be a very good option for me. By the way Im a NW2, at 34. I haven't hit NW2A quite yet! I know you are stressing, but give it a shot, try to start at 5 minutes for each treatment, maybe your are just very photosensitive to light??? Just a thought! Maybe 10 and 15 minutes is too strong for you. Once again just a thought!!!
      Best wishes

        1- If I stop the treatment after 5 times usage and if the shedding has already started, will the shedding continue or stop at a moment?
        2- Will I receive my shed hair and if yes, in which condition?

        I don't think I am the only one who has stopped it at this stage.
        Thank you.

          Hi rodio,

          You have not treated your hair long enough for anything to make a difference. I don't know why you started shedding so soon. Maybe you should go see a doctor - and take that MC2 stuff with you.

            I though the exact same thing?? " the brain play some lousy tricks on our "own reality" sometimes!! Rodio, Im def not a DR, or even as knowledgeable as a lot of board member here in this community!! I see it this way... Lets be real... If you def believe you are going to bald< give this a shot!!! Another thing I noticed, what exactly is this mc2 med or solution? that could be the guilty party in your shedding!! Once again, I'm just shooting in the dark!! When I notice some shedding I will def post, as of now, I cant say that I am shedding! The placebo effect is sometimes just as good as the meds< yes, what I just said is absolutely correct!
            Dr. Charles gave you in my opinion the best possible advise. Try one treatment at at time! Good luck, my friend!!!

              Any "effect" laser combs have is merely a placebo. It's nonsense.

                Also they're FDA regulated because they're safe but not FDA approved because they haven't been proven to have an effect. Don't be fooled.

                    Even using it for 2 weeks, is it too late and too much? Now will my shedding continue for months even I don't use the products?

                      The power of suggestion. You can convince yourself it's working. You hear it all the time when people think their hair is thicker after only a couple of weeks on finasteride. It takes 4 months at least to notice anything with finasteride.

                        I am not planning to use for 4 months. I used 2 weeks and it started to shed. Now I stopped it 2 days ago. Is it too late and will I continue shedding?

                          Why are you so gun set on laser therapy being garbage. Im curious to what makes you believe this is a scam???

                            Show me just one result. I wish it did work but it doesn't.

                                The FDA "approves" medications, not devices. The FDA "clears" devices. In order to get FDA clearance, Lexington had to prove both safety and efficacy - and they proved it more than once.

                                I've been using my laser comb for over four years. I know what it does. I am getting appreciable benefit from using it so I am going to continue to use it.
