Dr Siporin, how can you justify charging people up front for laser "treatments" that, by your own admission, has little proof of being effective? When you pitch a potential customer do you immediately state that the lasers are used in conjunction with minoxidil or is the fact that minoxidil is part of the program mentioned only when the customer gets the bill? If you truly believe that lasers are unproven, why don't you offer a pay as you go program? It isn't exactly risk free if the customer doesn't want a hair transplant, after all, that is what attracts people to the laser program in the first place.

Bill, did Lexington ever give you a copy of the clinical trial data that they submitted to the FDA and did they ever tell you that they intend to publish it?

I'm not sure that is fully accurate BeHappy. The original Lasercomb had one laser diode that used a mirror to split one beam into nine beams, this was the model that according to the FDA was cleared. The Lasercomb Premium has nine laser diodes that deliver the beams directly to the scalp, it is that change that the FDA has a problem with, if that is incorrect, explain it to me.

Apparently Lexington is unrepentant. If you place an order for a Premium Lasercomb model on the Hairmax website, it flat out says that the Premium model was cleared by the FDA! Also, the SE model is no longer for sale in the U.S. If memory serves me right, all of the press releases stated that the Lasercomb (not Lasercomb Premium) had received 510k market clearance. Am I wrong about that?

Bill, maybe you could invite a laser physics expert on this thread to try to end this debate.

Indian Balding, you are incorrect about any kind of light producing vitamin D. It is the light from the ultraviolet part of the spectrum that causes the production of vitamin D. Ultraviolet light has a higher frequency/narrower wavelength than visible light which allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin.
