Testing The Theradome Helmet Lllt For Hair Loss

[Dealing With It]

I saw the helmet going for cheaper than usual on eBay so I thought i'd give it a try. My story: first began receding at 16 where my sister told me that I was receding and laughed that I would go bald. Since then I have been quite self conscious about it so I purchased the Theradome (I'm 26 now). I started using the Theradome on the 30th of April along with Biotin and Biotin Shampoo (sometimes add Yanaiya Hair Tonic to my hair).

I will update my progress in this thread including pictures

Update 1: April 30th - May 29th

Bottom is before , top is after.
Thoughts: there was a few "spuds" of hair which fell out on my front side but there I'm very surprised how fast and long the miniature hairs have grown, hair feels quite abit thicker most likely from the biotin. Some hair have started growing on the front side , not sure if they will stay.

Good luck. Be consistent, but don't expect miracles.

You should add nizoral 2% shampoo 3 times a week for at the very least a mild anti androgen.

Good luck, I want to try laser therapy too but have no idea which type to use

Cheap and better than a theradome.

Thanks for the support everyone! Definitely not expecting miracles

I'll check it out
I took Nioxin in the past for awhile and the shedding got a lot worse to be honest. It's a lot better taking Biotin shampoo!

Nioxin is useless, Nizoral 2% has ketoconazole though which is widely studied and classified as an anti-androgen, and also has various studies showing its efficacy for hairloss. Propecia is king though.

Some controlled studies on LLLT utilized laser diodes of specific wavelength. I would want to be sure that anything I purchased would have the same specifications.

How is that better? I'm being serious, I have no knowledge of what makes one device better than another.

Pure garbage. Period.

I've had laser treatment for a period of 6 months (once a week). I guess the advantage is the equipment they use has more diodes for better scalp coverage and possibly use a setting with better penetration than what you can buy with helmets (I wish I looked further into details).
In brief,no results other than the claims by the clinic that my scalp health improved, and they attempted to convince me there were signs of growth with a microscopic camera (not convinced). My conclusion is it might have helped and it does no harm,but the time and money invested was not worth my while. Get on the big 3 instead.

Nice to hear another story based on laser treatment. I'm suffering from a few medical issues so I'd prefer not to take other medications. Minoxidil is an option but if it gets to the point where I'm bald in the middle I'll just buzz

Good luck!

Lol you sadic!

You started receding when you were 16, now you're 26 so 10 years ago,
and yet your hair looks like maybe you've been losing it for 2 years,
so have you used anything else through those 10 years? maybe you're on finasteride/ru/minoxidil/stemox?
You should mention those things because people here might think that your current hair is a result of that helmet.
Good luck anyway.

Thanks for the comment mate. i have not taken any medication for my hair outside of biotin because I'm diabetic I never thought it would be a good idea. Receding has just been a really slow process to be honest.

I've only used the helmet a bit longer than a week before the video (30th of April) and I took pictures etc so don't worry .

Update: Month 1

Comparison in first post

 

[Marcus S.]

@JeanLucBB: Only US $147.60? Dang that's pretty cheap. The one I was eyeing is from HairMax and it cost probably 3-4 times more than that! Do you think more expensive equal more quality in this case?

@Dealing With It : What model are you using and how much did it cost you? For some reason I cannot access theradome's website. Anyway hope you have a good luck with it. I'm in the same boat as you, currently not taking and have never taken any treatment (beside ketoconazole shampoo), well in my case because I'm afraid I can't stay consistent with it.

What model are you using and how much did it cost you?

LH80 (the only model available I believe). I spent 350 USD on it. Thanks mate

It’s been a few months!

Here is the update for 29th of October. Happy Halloween!
