Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has had this done and what were your results? I've had two HT's, both successful, but I feel borderline with satisfaction in terms of fullness. I don't want to go through another one, but I'm still not totally satisfied either. So I was looking into this but I haven't found much on it on the internet...
Thx!

Jzachery,

Low Level Laser Therapy (laser hair restoration) is a pretty controversial topic within the hair restoration community. Some experts believe there is some efficacy to laser therapy, and even offer laser sessions in their practices. Other experts believe that the research behind laser therapy is greatly lacking and also bring up some very valid issues with the mechanism behind laser therapy, the way the treatment is marketed, and its validity compared to hair transplantation. At this point in time, I think it's probably safest to stick with proven techniques - Rogaine (minoxidil), Propecia (finasteride), and, if necessary, surgical hair transplantation. Additionally, if you'd like to read more information on the laser debate, please feel free to utilize the forum search function and review various, older discussions.

All opinions are my own and my advice should not constitute as medical advice.

My own experience, following the ideas from Lazerfish, with a relatively high powered home made device, was no effect at all after 6 months.

However, as I mention in my profile, there is some medical theory that LLLT can work and a homemade device will only cost about ?100 / $150 if you are a little technically minded.

What I would not do is spend much more than that on the commercially available devices which are normally of very low power, particularly the lasercomb - which is NOT FDA approved as having any beneficial effect on hair loss.

I've been following the hair restoration industry since 1996, and havn't seen one case that would convince me that lasers will grow your hair back.

FICTION!

I waisted some money on a laser comb several years ago. I used it for a while and didnt see any positive results. Is there anyone on the forum who has had success with one?

Actually I believe that a powerful laser treatment (as in not hairmax) can be beneficial in the treatment of hair loss. I am not saying it will regrow all your hair, but rather maybe help to slow down the rate of loss.

I've read a lot of stories online where people reckon it has been beneficial - and as it seems safe enough I incorporated it in my regimen which now consists of finasteride, minoxidil and a 350 diode laser helmet that I use 3 times a week for 20 minutes per session.

Prove it, provide actual close ups of actual patients. Not pics from a lasercomb company.
