The conversation discusses the effectiveness of commercial Low-Level LaserTherapy (LLLT) devices for hair growth, suggesting they are underpowered compared to the ideal energy output shown in medical research. A user plans to build a custom helmet that meets the required specifications for effective treatment.
The user is using a topical spray with finasteride and minoxidil, red light therapy, and ketoconazole shampoo for hair loss, and is considering waiting a year before getting a hair transplant. Other users suggest microneedling, using oral treatments, and investing in a laserhelmet for better results.
The user had a hair transplant and uses oral minoxidil, a redlasertherapyhelmet, fish oil, collagen, and sardines for hair thinning but avoids finasteride due to side effect concerns. Many suggest these methods may not be effective long-term without a DHT blocker.
Hair growth caps and helmets using low-level lasertherapy (LLLT) show potential for treating androgenetic alopecia, but more research is needed. Users often combine these devices with treatments like minoxidil and finasteride for better results.
Low-Level LaserTherapy (LLLT) is seen as a safe and effective method for maintaining hair and promoting regrowth in androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and male pattern baldness (MPB), with devices like the HairMax LaserComb® and iRestore helmet being popular. Some users and professionals are skeptical about its long-term effectiveness and cost.
