Lasers to regrow hair? Typically the device is peddled hard by Bosley and Hairclub, so take that for what its worth, even if it does something REMOTE, what aesthetic difference is gained by remoteness?

Inorder to be worthy investment it must have dramatic and tangible benefit in my opinion. Thus finasteride I use, rogaine I do not, a good hair transplant with a top doctor I am considering and a hair mill with laser therapy i am not.

I would say not to purchase a third party. Most importantly, as with most things, do some research and see how much money the company spends on research and the outcome of the research. I think that alone will speak volumes.

Here is a link to an independent study: http://www.hairtransplantmagaz...Clinical-Studies.php

Interesting article.

Is there any particular reason why you don't suggest 3rd party combs?

Yeah, I don't really see any research on them. At least - not independent. Most of them usually sell on the idea of lasers "and LED's". To the best of my research, there has never been any significant on LED's growing hair at all. Believe it or not, I am a very skeptical person, and I was did a good amount of research. I have had two hair transplants for the hair and scalp clinic in Clearwater, Florida - Dr Markou - manager John Santino (I can give you their Web site on a PM is you would like, I know they are getting kind of strict about Web sites here). I asked them about it and it happens that they did there own study as well which showed good results. They provide laser therapy with the big machines for those who don't want to go through under the knife and tested this as an at home alternative. I have seen some people's opinions of my posts regarding the lasercomb and their feelings are understandable, but I can only say that it works for me. Again, this is not something that I would even imply is a replacement for Rogaine or Propecia, after having 2 transplants and being on these drugs for 10 years I feel that would be insane. However, it helps make my hair strands fuller and it has reduced my itching and irritation.

I hope this helps, but let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.

I can understand that LEDs don't help, because they're just LEDs, and they're really not that powerful. And I do believe lasers could help as I read about using radiation, light radiation especially, to "reset" cells in a science journal years and years ago.

It's just that the hairmax comb really is expensive... I was thinking about getting a 3rd party one. What do you think if I find one that has all lasers and no LEDs? Do you know if the frequency of the laser is a big part of it?
I could take a look and test it before I buy it...
I don't have any itching or irritation to get rid of, though.

I've been looking it this as a supplement to Minoxidil as whilst i think it's working (shedding has gone, loss has stopped) it isn't doing anything to improve and I'd like to not use concealers for ever!

It is expensive for a piece of technology that doesn't work on everyone, do you need to use it forever (if it works)?

If not do you reckon we could buy a few as a forum, and sell them around eachother? Like car sharing but better?
