Laser Treatment - I'm going for it.

[TF2009]

I know, I know, I know - it could all be bollocks, and most likely is.

BUT...I've been offered laser treatment for the price of £149, so I figure I've nothing to lose:

I have thought about this in the past, and almost paid £2k for it before seeking opinions from a number of people, and most advised me not to waste my money - so I gave it a miss.

But at this price, I couldn't resist.

If it works - great.

If it doesn't - I've lost £149, and I can forget about laser treatment forever.

I'll keep you all posted.

Yes.

They repair cells with hopes that by repairing them they will multiple cell growth to thicken your hair and make it stronger. It's not an anti androgen, it's a growth stimulant. My understanding is you need some type of DHT Androgen Blocker for anyone with mild to heavy hair loss as you're going to "eventually" lose it without one.

good luck with it, bro. keep us updated. i'm not optimistic though - the fact they showed ryan giggs as some kind of proof of success when he's clearly gotten his success from an hair transplant kinda makes it seem a bit shifty...

either way, good luck.

Laser treatment is FDA Approved and my understanding it can work very well after 6 months up to 2 years based off what I read. If you are going to use this temporarily, you're wasting your money.

^^^ It's FDA approved for safety, not clinical effectiveness.

Don't even know why I bother.

Not sure why you did either being that I never said it was FDA approved for effectiveness.

Reading all of your statements above, what ever *else* could you have possibly meant to imply? I'm not going to tear you down, so forget about it. Lasers are worf-less, you can get the same sort of "stimuli" by sitting in full spectrum sunlight. And even then if you where to respond it's more likely attributed to evolutionary reasons than some unsubstantiated marketing theory.

Hair has protective features after all.

I was against lasers before as well but I read up on it recently and I believe it can be an effective growth stimulant for some. See below

Just overwhelming testimonials that it worked for some. Can't really dispute that.

^^^^ What part of -- "you can get the same sort of "stimuli" by sitting in full spectrum sunlight. And even then if you where to respond it's more likely attributed to evolutionary reasons than some unsubstantiated marketing theory.

BTW: Most of those retards are supplementing with topicals as well. That should explain something to you.

Assuming if it is "most" what about the "rest"?

As for the rest? Most of the rest are supplementing with internals instead

And the last few? Their progress doesn't even impress me.

LLLT is old hat.

Lasers are bullshit, don't waste your cash.

If you really want to give away $150 feel free to PM for my postal address. I'll take it off your hands without lying to you in the process.

Won't bother updating every week/fortnight, but just thought I'd let you all know I've been for my first session tonight.

48 minutes under the lasers.

Once a week for three months from now on, then once a fortnight for another three months.

 

[knowingyou]

48 minutes under the laser? Isn't it a bit too long? What I read before it is only 15 minutes per session, and 30 minutes at the most what I have read!

Yes 15 to 30 minutes, 3 times a week.

 

[TF2009]

I suppose it depends on the strength of the laser?

For example, the actual laser comb you use at home requires just ten-fifteen minutes per-day.

AHS. by the look of it, takes a similar approach to the one I am using - their course appears to be 40-minutes once-per-week:
