Hi everybody, I was about to buy a HairMax laser comb. However, after I searched around on the internet for reviews, studies from doctors and the Lexington company website, I feel so lucky that I didn't pay $5xx of my hard earn money for a piece of sh*t that will not help my hair loss.
To be honest, if that laser comb would work for hair loss, why the Lexington company didn't post better pictures to proof the positive results on hair growth? Go and judge by your own eyes!! (
http://www.hairmax.com/SuccessStories/B ... mages.aspx) None of them is convincing enough to show that crap works. Some of the patients just showed with different hair styles and you can tell the patients has longer hair and different hair line positions (e.g. move the hair line backward or to the right or even cover the hair line instead). One patient even showed a wet-straight hair as "before", and a dry-curly hair as "after"....WTF??!! Of course the dry-curly hair seems to be more hair based upon your God blessed common-sense. Another patient with curly hair showed more hair loss at the crown area after using the laser comb. If these are the "best picutres" that the company are confident enough to post on its website for promotional purposes, by using just a half of your brain, you should know that the laser comb is a piece of sh*t.
Also, if the company had claimed to get FDA approval since 2006. It should be a great advantage for the company if they get the approval. However, as now in 2010, I can't find the term "FDA approved" at anywhere at the Lexington company website. As in June 27, 2010, it is still using the term "FDA clearance. If they really get the FDA approved for clinical uses, isn't that weird and fishy about why they don't make a big deal about the "FDA approved" thing? I thought they have been eagered for at least 9 years.
***Hey
Gubter87,
I have read the study you posted earlier (
http://www.corporacioncapilar.es/LDS100 ... S%20100%22). Not to offend, it is so unprofessional and it is honestly a fraud. I hope you won't believe in that paper. There are several things missing: (1) who are the authors? (2) what associations or universities responsible for such tests? (3) what journal was this paper published? (4) There is NO ANY citation given in the entire paper. It only showed a list of 11 references at the end of the paper. 11 references? A creditable scientific paper should at least has 50 references. Fxxk...I got easily 100 references for my thesis. What does this tell you? (5) the "before & after" pictures showed in this paper were supposed to be from patients number 1 to 8. How come it is now all "patient 1" only? where are the patients number 2 to 8????? (6) For all the bar-chart diagrams, no error bar was given to indicate any possible errors or uncertainties in the reported measurements. This means there is NO accuracy for the data at all.
Hence, I think that this is a fraud paper and I hope no body will fall into the evil trap. To whoever still considering to try a laser comb: forget it and use the money to consult with a doctor instead. I will not buy that stupid laser comb, period.
I actually bought a hairmax a few years ago and have been using it off and on with a "it can't hurt" mentality. I *think* it's been mildly effective; the only other things i use are tricomin and emu oil; and i've actually maintained/perhaps slightly improved over the last 3 years. I basically wanted to keep my regimen as systemic free as possible.
