How can they use lasers for removing hair and growing hair? Probably slightly better off getting a cow to lick your head.

Many people getting laser hair removal have complained that it grew new hair on them (turned vellous hair terminal). There was even a study on it.

"Laser" combs are to be hanged to light up my Christmas tree...

Hi Dr. Alan Feller thanks for the list. I greatly appreciate it and all the doctors that have added themselves to it.

I was about 16 with a big forehead (i had the big forehead since age 11 so its genetic bone shape, not hairloss). But i didn't know that at that time. Friends at high school said i am already losing hair (but ofcourse i wasn't). I thought I just started hairloss at age 11 and by 22 i'd be fully bald. I was really scared. So i looked up ways to stop it or fix it. Surgery was too expensive for me at that time and i didn't have the money. So i saw the hair max comb. Even that was expensive for a high school kid.

So i ended up buying one from here...

it claimed to do the same thing as hairmax. So i bought it and used it religiously since age 16. I am 24 now and my hair is pretty much the same except some minor thinning in my temples. Most people could use THAT as justification that laser comb works. Which is incorrect. And i wasn't losing hair at 16 as friends said so in high school. Those in high school that said that have lost alot of hair now. It is amazing how the perceptions changed. And how truth can be twisted.

But then I realised that i'd be in the same spot if i didn't use any laser comb. I just wasted my time all those years using the comb. MAYBE at most it kept my hair healthy and better shaft diameter. But i REALLY doubt its anything substantial. I had realised that I just had a large forehead, not really much hair loss. My brother who is 28 now has great head of hair just very minor temple thinning like myself. He also has large forehead.

Now i've gone and done a transplant to get a little lower hairline and am happy i did so.

Reading this post by Dr. Alan Feller makes want to pick up that laser comb that has wasted so many hours of my life and breaking it in half and throwing it. I used to carry that thing with me like my soul. I used to take it to me on family trips and hide it in my bag so no one saw. And use the comb in the bathroom when everyone slept. I felt like i was a thief doing something bad. The amount of stress and planning i had to do just to use the comb was crazy.

Sometimes i noticed my hair would thicken and then go a little thinner. But yet again i am 100% sure it wasn't due to laser comb, it was to do with uni stress. Its known that stress makes you lose hair. And once stress is over, the hair comes back. Which happened with me alot.

Plus i am not sure with this, but maybe all the people who claim results with laser comb are just going with the placebo effect. So much belief on the device that any "little" baby hair they see, they'd relate it back to the laser comb.

Bottom line, i think laser comb just takes credit for many variables.

Dr. Alan Feller, I had one question though. Dr. Glenn Charles' did a study on the hair max and said it helped scar healing and reduced shock loss after transplant surgery.

What is your thoughts on that?

Oh my goodness. Like a bad penny this thread resurfaces. It is alive.
