Can Lasercomb Slow Hair loss and Stimulate Regrowth?
The HairMax Lasercomb® is a hand-held device that delivers low level laser therapy (LLLT) to the scalp as it is combed through the hair for 10-15 minutes three times a week.
Laser treatments to any part of the body are thought to provide energy to damaged cells to speed their recovery, increase formation of capillaries to bring better blood flow and improve the cell’s ability to take on nutrients. The question is, can all this help a person grow more hair?
The Lasercomb is believed to work by improving blood circulation to the scalp and stimulating the hair follicles to pass through the catagen (resting) and telegen (shedding) phases of hair growth faster thus pushing the follicles into a new anagen (growth) phase to increase hair growth overall. Users are supposed to be able to see a difference in their hair growth within 8 to 12 weeks though it might take as long as 20 weeks.
Studies do support that the HairMax Lasercomb can regrow hair. However, in forums comments are divided as to how effective and satisfied people are. Studies for men showed that 93% had measurable hair growth within 6 months. Clinical studies for women are in progress but appear to show similar results.
