Q: The makers of the HairMax LaserComb have claimed that it will “revolutionize the hair growth industry.” What do you think?

A: This claim is obviously overstated.

Since the Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) doesn’t affect the action of DHT on hair follicles, it doesn’t affect the underlying cause of genetic hair loss, and thus would be expected only to have limited effectiveness. The company’s own studies show that this is, indeed, the case.

It was also predicted that Rogaine would revolutionize the field of hair restoration and it had little impact.

In my opinion, only finasteride has made a significant impact on the long-term course of hair loss, particularly in its ability to postpone the need for surgical intervention such as hair transplants.

 

Q: Can the laser comb grow hair back in bald areas of scalp?

A: The HairMax LaserComb only works in areas where there is still some hair.

It will not bring back hair that has been lost. You need hair transplantation to do this. The laser comb works by thickening fine, miniaturized hair.

 

Q: Can the laser comb be used with other treatments, such as Minoxidil or Propecia?

A: Yes, it appears so, but there have been no scientific studies examining the interaction or possible synergy between these hair loss treatments.

 

Q: Do I need a doctor’s prescription to get the Laser Comb?

A: The HairMax Laser Comb is an over-the-counter hair loss treatment so it does not require a doctor’s prescription. You can order a Laser comb without consulting a physician and you do not need to be monitored by a doctor when using it.

 

Q: Where can I buy the HairMax Laser Comb?

A: The Laser Comb is currently available for purchase on-line at a variety of hair loss and hair related websites including Drugstore.com, Amazon.com and Hairmax.com.
