Senior Member haircut Posted September 23, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2010 That question always opens a can of worms :-) Some MD's like Ron Shapiro and Rob Haber feel that lasers MAY work around the margins. Others like Dr. Rassman feel that they do not work at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted September 24, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted September 24, 2010 Let the festival begin. I've been offering patients who show up here at my office, including today, that if they can bring me one article from a peer reviewed US medical journal showing that lasers make a clinical cosmetic difference in human's hair coverage that I will buy them their own laser. So far noone has shown up with that article to collect the money. Dr. Lindsey McLean VA William H.

Senior Member Surfarosa Posted September 24, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 24, 2010 I have an untouched Laser Haircomb - pay for the shipping and you can have it. That's how much I value the piece of crap! Maybe the good doctor Lindsey will show how to use it. a) climb to highest floor in your building b) open a window c) losen up shoulder d) say the words "this is the last time I let desperation make me retarded" e) you get the picture ..... Happy lasering. ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukman Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Nope, it's BS in my opinion. Nothing special about. The infrared that it emits doesn't even have the proper wavelength to penetrate the dermis of the scalp. -------------------------------------------- Diagrams (Effects of DHT): Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Tembo Posted September 24, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted September 24, 2010 The only reason that has prevented me from concluding with 100 percent certainty that these products are scam is due to the fact that there is documented proof of laser hair removal actually increasing body hair in some patients.

Senior Member Tom60 Posted September 27, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 27, 2010 wait...what?? laser hair removal increases hair in other parts of your body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Tembo Posted September 28, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted September 28, 2010 Laser hair removal increases hair in the same part of the body for some patients. It happens most often when you treat finer hair in women on the upper body if I remember correctly. Of course I know its a different laser! However, if one type of laser can increase body hair, I do not see why another type could not increase scalp hair (especially the thinner/finer scalp hair).

Dr. Lindsey McLean VA Apparently Dr. Cooley was recommending getting laser therapy at a recommended charlotte non surgical hair place following HT. Not sure if it was because it prevented fallout, shorter cycle, or a better chance for HT to grow thicker and quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
