Why do numerous studies show that LLLT works but everyone here doesn't get results? I'm not talking a few studies... I have found at least 5 that show LLLT grows hair. Wonder what's up?

The scientific studies have been scrutinized, and they've also been made by industry asides. A major problem with the medical research field are companies promoting studies with small sample sizes, where they pay for the study and have influence on the publication, and thus we can't trust them.

You know how many dubious medical studies you can find online?

In the case of LLLT, there is also a complete lack of long-term studies, and a lack of an actual scientific mechanism.

Finally, from personal experience, I find the process tedious and inefficient. It's ~45 minutes a week lost. That is actually a very serious side effect.

I see your point but the FDA wouldn't have cleared it for safety AND effectiveness based on dubious studies

The FDA cleared the hairmax laser comb for safety.

The FDA cleared the hairmax laser comb for safety.

That is just simply not true:

A 510(k) is a premarketing submission made to FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is as safe and effective, that is, substantially equivalent (SE), to a legally marketed device that is not subject to premarket approval (PMA).Aug 11, 2014

That comes straight from the FDA's website
