The Lasercomb Dilemma

[Pavi]

If you go on pubmed, you will find literally multiple double blinded, placebo controlled studies showing that the hairmax lasercomb grows hair. However, nobody on the forum has had any success on it and most of you write it off as being a scam. I just don't get how multiple studies show it works, but nobody here gets results. Something seems off

Laser therapy does help with hair growth but I've gotten the impression that it may work best for senile alopecia. I've been on LLLT many times before but eventually decided to just drop it altogether since it was just doing too little for my case, the only thing I noticed while on it was an improvement in the quality of my hair.

So if it improves your hair quality why would you drop it

I've had and used a laser comb. I don't know if it helps with hair growth, I do feel like my baldness has accelerated since I stopped using it.

I'll tell you the biggest noticeable side effect of the laser comb: money and time. Money is self explanatory, I spent ~$299 on the hairmax 7, so not the biggest expense in the world but still annoying. The time is much worse though. You have to commit to lasering your hair for ~45 minutes a week, forever. For some reason nobody talks about that as a "side effect".

I would like to see independent trials. The ones on pubmed are industry funded. The fact is that industry-funded research has cured baldness in humans multiple times over: saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil, laminaria japonica + cistanche, laser comb ... every single one of them cured baldness. Baldness is as cured in humans as it is in mice. ETA: I just went through Hellouser's poster list, and there are tons of other cures for baldness I didn't mention.

Because those are falsified studies contrived by the companies selling it. If I was selling an item I'd create a hundred fake studies and scatter them through the internet, but not if it was something to do with hair loss. I wouldn't spread false hope where hair loss is concerned or ever scam hair loss sufferers out of money. Others however have no problem doing it. Some would scam money out of cancer patients if they could. So don't believe those studies. It's nothing more than a simple marketing technique.
