Regular Member jpmonster Posted October 27, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted October 27, 2010 so i've been on the laser treatment for about 5 weeks and under the hair microscope it seems to be responding well. we will see after 7 more weeks when they say true visual results will be visible.

Regular Member jpmonster Posted October 28, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 28, 2010 i've been going to a place called virtual reality. its a twice a week session of 30 minutes each. the first day they did a microscopic analysis and i could see miniturization and then after 5 weeks i did it again and amazingly the hair shafts looked bigger. they tell me that true result won't be visual til about 12 weeks, but atleast it gives me hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member biscuit Posted October 28, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 28, 2010 Try to take good photos using consistent lighting. Use the macro setting so you can really zoom in on the individual hairs. The only positive visual improvement I've seen from lasers has been in promotional material by the manufacturer. I've never seen real world results with any visual benefit from the laser alone. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My HT Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jpmonster Posted October 28, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 28, 2010 i might just try that.. do u suggest picking a certain area of the in particular? or a head shot in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member biscuit Posted October 30, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 30, 2010 (edited) Both. Try to get close-ups, it will take some practice with your camera settings. If your camera can't do macro shots there are lots of low-cost cameras you can get that will do the trick. Here's an example of a macro shot I took. Then take a bunch of photos to accurately show your overall condition before, during, and after your treatment. A variety of lighting should be used. See my blog for examples. I took most of those photos myself, just hold the camera in one hand at arms length and fire away.
