Regular Member GHTJourneya Posted August 31, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted August 31, 2022 As the time goes by post-op, there are no spots left and I am sceptical about wearing my laser cap on a full head of hair as the diodes "can't see" the follicles (apart from the front part of the hairline). What is the point of wearing a laser cap if the light cannot penetrate onto the scalp as it is blocked by the actual hair? Would hair pins work?

First world problems I use the Capillus cap and from my understanding, the LEDs can penetrate through the follicle to the scalp. Not sure if this is 100% true or not, but I love using it and I feel like it has been of benefit. https://www.capillus.com/pages/capillus-pro Edited August 31, 2022 by sunsurfhair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the original laser cap? I have a device with 272 diodes by Kiierr, is the original by Capillus? Do you wear hair pins to split the hair on areas that are thicker, or do you just wear it as usual? My concern is that as the hair gets longer it blocks the light and the follicles receive less light 36 minutes ago, sunsurfhair said: I use the Capillus cap and from my understanding, the LEDs can penetrate through the follicle to the scalp.

My assumption is that longer and thicker hair blocks the light, so that we need to use hair pins to make the roots visible to the diodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
