What Is Your Opinion of Laser Comb Treatments?

Written by Brandon Ross, MD on February 26, 2008

I noticed the Hairmax Lasercomb has received FDA approval to treat hair loss. However when I try to find any information on the effectiveness of this treatment can not find information.

Do you have any opinions on Laser Comb treatments?

Thanks.
Michael

The reason that you are having a difficult time gathering information about the laser comb for hair restoration is because it is not very good. Studies are few and far between, and reliable information is lacking. In practice, I have not heard many good things about laser comb therapy. Based on what I have read and seen, I do not feel that the laser comb is a product worth buying.

If the laser comb therapy actually worked well, it would have already spread like wild fires. In reality, the technology behind the comb has been around for decades. This is why the device has FDA approval. Since the laser technology pre-dates when the FDA began its supervisory role, the technology was “grandfathered” into an FDA approval.. Therefore, this device did not have to pass through today’s stringent FDA approval process.
