HairMax Laser Comb

The HairMax Laser Comb is a hand held brush that uses nine lasers and LED light to promote the cycle of hair growth through a process the company calls Photo-Bio Stimulation. The product is said to be safe for both men and woman and results are promised in as little as eight weeks. The product claims to be the easiest to use to re-grow your hair with sessions taking between 10 and 15 minutes. The product comes with an instructional DVD and a handy carrying case.

Photo-Bio Stimulation

The company explains Photo-Bio-Stimulation as the process of using laser treatment for hair loss. This is accomplished by using low light laser therapy -LLLT- to promote hair growth, rejuvenate hair bulb production and to stimulate nutrient delivery and cell growth in naturally growing cells.

How to use it

Because the product is simply a brush with laser and LED light emanating from it, the procedure for use is fairly cut and dry. Simply brush your hair with the product in long stroking motions from front to back for 10 to 15 minutes, three times per week. According to the company, this is not only safe and easy to do but therapeutic as well.

Results vary

Here’s were you need to read carefully. On the company’s own website, they admit that results vary from individual to individual. While that is true for many products, the HairMax Laser Comb is by far one of the most expensive hair loss products available today. According to the website, only about 45 percent of users will see strong results in the first eight weeks while others will have to wait and may never see results at all. This type of verbiage is confusing and when it comes right down to it, how do you know if you will be in that 45 percent that sees results? Then just to make things extra confusing, in a different section of the website, the company says that the product is effective in 90 percent of those that have used it.

FDA Approved

In a great smoke and mirror trick, the company touts that the product is approved by the Food and Drug Administration -FDA-. What they don’t say in so many words is that the FDA only approves the product as safe to use. They are not saying that the product will or will not work for you.

Conclusion

The HairMax Laser Comb is a very expensive piece of equipment. If it does work like it claims, then whether it is 45 percent or 90 percent effective is anyone’s guess. The company uses fancy verbiage and labels all in an effort to make you believe that the astronomical price they are charging you is worth it. There are several different laser combs available for purchase today and although they are all rather expensive, none come close to the price of the HairMax Laser Comb. Most disturbing of all is no guarantee. You will get a one-year warranty, but this will only cover the laser comb if it is defective and malfunctions during the first year. If the product doesn’t work for you or you just aren’t happy with it, then you are not only out of luck but out of a great deal of money as well.
