 It's been a week since I started testing the Hairmax Laser Comb, and so far, I've administered four treatments for the suggested 15 minutes at a time. As expected, I haven't seen any significant growth, but hang in there with me. This is a three-month road we're on. (If you're really impatient, you can follow Louis Ramirez at Gizmodo. He's traveling the same road, but he's about a week ahead of me.) If it looks like I've lost more hair, that's because I just got it cut. I will try to keep the length even for comparison purposes.
So far, so good. An hour a week isn't that bad, but moving the comb around my scalp does get dull. It's the perfect companion activity for watching TV, but I wish the cord was just a bit longer. The Comb has an automated beep every 4 seconds to let you know you need to shift the position. Thankfully, you can turn that off. Sometimes I get lazy, shift the comb a little bit, and hit myself in the eye with the laser. That can't be good. Must try to avoid doing that.
To sum it up, using the Laser Comb day-to-day is uneventful. Sort of like watching grass grow. If I'm lucky, anyway.

I think this is a joke right? This thing costs $545 and takes like 5 weeks to get. Why wouldn't I buy the $180 version?

Zzzz. Does anyone care about this test? I've seen this dude's head, and nothing's gonna help.

Dude, its going to work for you. Keep at it.

i have been using the brush for 4month and i can very well say that it does grow hairs.Those who r less patince shouldn't useit.Because loosing one's hair will not take any time but to grow ur hair back is definitely take some time.Normally 6 month is required to get the result so be patient.Laser have been used for years to grow hairs so my advice to all friends is that keep using it and keep this in mind that there is no other device is available to regrow ur hair.The only thing remains is to do hair transplant and let me tell u all hairs salons r using the same laser but in diff style .

This is nonsense. Anyone buy this and then try to return it for money back after not getting the "promised results"?

Dan, Thanks for the update. Would it be possible to post a collection of pics from each month on one page. Ex Mar '07, Apr '07, May '07, etc?

Update?

Soon, we promise!
June 6, 2007 2:43 PM
No update for May? :-(

BTW, if you want another test subject, I'd be happy to try the lasercomb and document the results over the period of a year :-) Drop me a line.

dude.
even with minoxodil it takes a good 6 months for hair to start to appear. even after a hair transplnat it takes 6 months for the hair to start growing.

As opposed to the HairMax Laser comb which uses a patented (Patent No. 6,497,719) 9 stepped, beam splitting plastic reflector which splits a single (1) class 3R 650 nm Laser resulting in 9 deflected and diffused Laser beams; The Hair Rejuvenator Laser Handheld has a patent pending Laser beam power intensity control and convergence Laser delivery system and is first in the industry to utilize 9 class 3R IEC or IIIa FDA compliant Lasers modules, and it's cordless! This delivery system allows for a larger area of Laser dispersion due to this unique use of multiple Laser arrays, which will also produce optical power redundancy benefits.. Also, each Laser modules optical output power is regulated by a microcontroller, which limits the Laser emitting aperture light intensity by controlling the frequency duty cycle.
However, Lexington International, HairMax LaserComb patent is currently under reexamination by the USPTO for its patentability. Previous artwork has been found in Europe and Asia that predates HairMax's claims and patent filings. This Patent reexamination review may nullify some, if not all of HairMax's patent claims.
