It's been a few years now since wild claims have been made that lasers (of any power) can grow or even influence hair growth.

None of the major players including Dr. Bauman, Lexington International,nor any of the posters of this site who claim success with lasers has produced even a SINGLE credible before/after photo.

Case closed. Laser is dead.

Right ON Doc

I see improvement on some of these. Not going from bald to a full head of hair, but certainly in line with what propecia and minoxidil do. The site claims that they all used ONLY a laser comb and dod not use minoxidil, propecia, etc.

Sorry BeHappy, I still don't buy it. Sunetics website is promoting their product, period.

I would like, however, see the same results from REAL patients who are NOT on any other meds with at least HALF of the results shown on the manufacturer's website.

More interesting information about the laser on this thread.

I tried hairmax for 6 months with NO positive results . I also know a girl who went to Chicago hair and spent 3 grand with NO results,and even more recently another friend bought a laser helmet type of device off ebay used it for 4-5 months with NO results.
Does that mean its useless? I dont know you tell me.
I was at a birthday party where a girl thought she was drunk after drinking 4 glasses of non -alcoholic wine. She had no idea until someone told her there was no alcohol in sparkling grape juice.
Maybe its the believing the laser works that has a small placebo effect on a select few

to dispel the myth that the FDA Clearance of HairMax constitutes some kind of official approval.

Cybernaut, I read your posts, great write ups

It just proves that people would do ANYTHING to make money. Snakeoils, Lasercombs, mislead FDA approved vs FDA "cleared" etc. All these scammers should be sent to prison in Syberia

Wow,

What a surprise.. As I said from the beginning, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, it ususally is a duck

Lasercomb is another snake oil and we still havent had one poster on here who provided real life results.

Here are the top two photos off the hairmax lasercomb site. Prime examples of deceptive marketing practices.


What more needs to be said?

When I brought up the second photo set to Mr. Michaels on a radio debate and accused him of showing the before photo with the hair wet to make it look artifically thinner than it really is, and the after photo dry to make it look artifically fuller relative to the before photo he claimed in a serious voice that it was the comb that did it and avoided any accountability to the obvious deception. That's the kind of low people these laser snakeoil salesmen are.

Yup. Anyone with a small patch of thinning can mash or comb the hair around to obscure the area; this is clearly done in the first pair of photos. The before picture in the second pair actually looks better to me than the after; a wet cowlick in the crown should look considerably fuller when it's dry, but doesn't. So to me, this tactic is an utter failure. Not to say that other photos used to promote meds or even transplants don't do this, but with laser that's ALL we have to go on. Totally non-compelling evidence, unless you really want to believe it works.
