Stop Hair Loss

In January 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the HairMax Laser Comb® for promotion of hair growth in males with androgenetic alopecia (Norwood IIA to V with Fitzpatrick skin types I to IV).

The FDA has only approved two other products as solutions to help stop hair loss, so the news sent a huge rumble through the “stop hair loss” products industry.

Why does the FDA believe this laser comb promotes hair growth?

The HairMax Laser Comb and other laser combs (there are many on the market), are successful in helping thinning, limp, and lack-luster hair with the use of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) applied to the scalp and hair through a handheld comb (brush, or device depending on the product).

LLLT has been in use since the 1960’s and was developed by Endre Mester to improve the healing of wounds. Since that time, the use of LLLT for medical treatments has expanded for many other therapeutic uses including clinically proven prevention of hair loss.

The science behind low-level laser light comes from the compressed light from the cold red part of the light spectrum. This light is completely different from natural light. This light’s color is precise and exists on a single wavelength. Because it is on one wavelength, it travels in a perfectly straight and defined point.

Low-level laser light can penetrate the skin surface without damaging the skin; it does not give off heat and has no known side effects. This penetrating light’s energy stimulates the body's cells and in the specific use of the laser comb, promotes healthy rejuvenation of hair.
