If you are concerned about your hair, the earlier you start using the HairMax LaserComb, the better. There's nothing more detrimental to a person's appearance than thin, lifeless hair. And the longer you wait to do something about it, the less chance there is of reversing the problem. That's where HairMax steps in to help.
With more than 90% of all LaserComb users achieving satisfaction with their results, this device is a safe, simple way to a fuller head of thick, luxurious-looking hair. It is a proven fact that skin cells "like" light. Your hair is no different. Both men and women of all ages can benefit from laser light therapy provided by the LaserComb.
How to use the LaserComb
The LaserComb has been designed with both comfort and convenience in mind. To turn on the LaserComb, press the power button and then the laser button on the front of the unit. Next, place the LaserComb flat on your head using the two rows of teeth. Rather than constantly moving the device through your hair (as you would with a regular brush or comb), you should use a glide method by placing the LaserComb on a specific spot on your head and gently gliding it back about 0.5-inches each time the audible four-second beep occurs. Move from the front of your hairline to the back of your head, then repeat the process moving in the opposite direction. The glide method is the best way to ensure that the LaserComb will be as effective as possible. In addition to being very easy to operate, this device is also a relaxing and enjoyable product to use. There are no sprays, topical ointments, or powders to worry about, and it can be used in the comfort of your own home at your own convenience.

Although individual results may vary, you should notice early improvements to the general appearance of your hair within the first eight to 16 weeks. These improvements should include shinier and thicker looking hair. In general, studies have shown that about 45% of LaserComb users see these results in as little as eight weeks of treatment. Another 45% realize benefits from use within eight to 16 weeks. A small group of users take longer and may not experience noticeable results before 16 weeks of use. Even Time Magazine spotted the benefits of LaserComb, featuring the invention in the December 4, 2000, "Inventions of the Year" issue.
Over the course of several more months, you may notice your hair gradually become fuller, stronger, and denser looking. Over time, all users -- both men and women -- usually notice progressively increasing benefits as they continue to use the LaserComb. Conversely, once the usage stops, the appearance of the hair does gradually regress back to its original state. Like brushing your teeth to maintain healthy teeth and gums, regular LaserComb usage is recommend to keep your hair looking its best. As few as three times a week for 10 to 15 minutes a session is sufficient to see results.

Proven Technology: Laser PhotoTherapy
For many years leading hair clinics and salons in Europe, Asia and around the world have been using Laser PhotoTherapy -- a form of laser technology also referred to as Low Level Laser Therapy -- to improve the appearance of thinning hair. Over and over individuals suffering from thin, lifeless hair have achieved great results with this form of therapy, but until just recently Laser PhotoTherapy was only available through exclusive hair clinics. These clinics rely on large, fixed laser devices, and, to be effective, a patient must attend many regularly scheduled, expensive in-office therapy sessions.
With the HairMax LaserComb, Lexington International has miniaturized the internationally-acclaimed Laser PhotoTherapy technology. Now, with the LaserComb, it is possible to receive this effective hair care treatment in the comfort and privacy of your home, office, or hotel, and at a fraction of the cost charged by hair clinics. The LaserComb utilizes the scientific principle of Photo-Biostimulation that progressively improves the appearance of your hair over time. By harnessing the energizing and nourishing effects of Laser PhotoTherapy, HairMax makes your hair look healthy and vibrant. Remember, living cells thrive in light and your hair is no different.
The Laser PhotoTherapy used in the LaserComb complies with USA laser product safety standards. The laser affects only your hair and you achieve benefits without any worrying side effects. Laser PhotoTherapy gives off no heat and is safe for consumers to use at home. Unlike the high powered lasers used in manufacturing, medical surgeries and science, Laser PhotoTherapy is a gentle, nourishing light therapy that has positive effects on hair. The HairMax LaserComb is safe to be used by itself or in conjunction with other treatments.

By B. Gnoz
I wrote a previous review for this device, based on my research as to its effectiveness, and summed it up with a cautiously positive opinion. That review discussed the FDA approval (based on the device being safe, but not necessarily effective), independent peer-reviewed studies, and the Dateline show that followed a HairMax user for one year (note that he was using it in combination with drug treatment). I received a few comments disregarding my review because i hadn't used the device, so here's a new one based on my actual experience.
Yes, I took the bait. I'm a user now. I figured that I'd rather spend the money on a non-invasive, non-chemical treatment that will leave me with a device to sell rather than a prescription to a drug that reportedly has the same odds of success.
First impressions:
It shipped out late (2+ weeks), with no alert from the manufacturer (I ordered direct). The package I received was missing the instructional DVD and the second set of combs. The DC plug was difficult to fit into the device and the lasers were not aligned very precisely (the beams diverged noticeably at two feet away - I doubt that this matters at all, other than an overall indication of precision). Hmmm... not a great first impression.
First 10 weeks:
The process is fairly straightforward... drag the comb across your entire scalp at least twice, taking enough time to make sure the laser penetrates the scalp. Half an inch every four seconds, with the entire process taking twenty minutes or more. It's not at all painful or unpleasant, but it does require a commitment to make the time in a busy schedule. I chose mornings right after my shower on M-W-F for the procedure, and this worked well. The manual mentions that more treatments probably won't hurt, but they still recommend the prescribed 3-day treatment every week. The manual also mentions that wet, clean hair (before gel treatments, spray, etc.) is preferable. Makes sense... water makes tissue more translucent. Drop some water on a piece of paper and hold it up to a light for an example of the principle.
I experienced accelerated hair loss in the first 10 weeks, which was mentioned in an online report. It didn't bother me too much... the combing process involves working the hair against the nap and using a comb to clear it away as you progress. My hair wasn't used to this type of disruption.
I also experienced increased body to my hair, which was also mentioned in the report. I attributed this to the same combing process... the device gives out a very small amount of heat, and as you comb through your hair it dries in a fluffed position. That leads to increased body much like blow-drying might.
The report also mentioned reduced gray hair with some users. Lately I think I may be seeing this as well, and I'm not complaining. Perhaps the thinner, weaker gray hairs are falling out.
Unfortunately, what I didn't see in the first 10 weeks was convincing hair growth. And this is the tricky part... how do you know for sure? I mean, even without any kind of treatment, my hair looks thinner on certain days when I haven't washed it, or if I've worn a hat, or my mother-in-law is around. And when the stars align just right, it can sometimes seem thicker as well. So how do you know whether the device is really working, given our subjective perception? You can choose to believe the independent studies (while wondering who paid for them), you can choose to believe the personal testimonies (while wondering about their compensation as well), or you can choose to just believe. Or maybe not, and return the thing (they give you 20 weeks for a return). I chose to keep going, based on desperation more than belief.
Next five weeks:
I'll update this review (if it stays up on Amazon) as long as I keep the device, and so far I've used it for approximately fifteen weeks. I've neglected to use it maybe four times in those fifteen weeks, due to a lack of time (four out of forty-five... not too bad).
The lasers seems solid, but the beeper seems to go haywire now and then, either sticking on or going silent for awhile. Hmmm.
I've had a bit of an uptick in my opinion. It may have been just the planets aligning again, but my hair seems thicker overall, and definitely less gray. Then again, days later it seems thinner. Again, this is really a tough thing to gauge, given so many variables. For now, I'll keep forging on, but if I don't see more certain results by the holidays, you'll see my LaserComb on eBay. It'll be easy to spot - the one without the CD and with only one set of combs.
Final update:
Forgive me for not concluding my review... it's been quite some time since I wrote my original comments, but I stopped using the Hairmax after about five months of use (and too late to take advantage of their 20-week return policy). In the end, I found I was fighting time (in more ways than one) and time is one tough cookie. Although I think the HairMax probably does work to some extent, I just couldn't take the time needed to consistently use the device. Perhaps that's a sorry statement about the busy nature of life in America, but I think it's better seen as the ultimate comment regarding this device: I couldn't find the time to fight time itself.
If you think you might have more commitment to the battle than I, the HairMax might be worth the effort. I chose to work out a peace agreement (okay, I surrendered). My hair is thinner than ever, but I no longer mind as much. I've accepted the fact that I'm getting older, and I welcome the clarity that comes with the decision.
I'll be selling mine on eBay. As soon as I can find the time...

I've been losing my hair for quite awhile....slowly.
Now, the crown of my head has lost all of its hair, and the front is thinning now.
I was going to get transplants.
However, I then got into a very bad car accident, and all money went to a new vehicle.
When I heard the comb was approved by the FDA, I called the company, and they were completely sold out.
I plunked down the money and got the comb.
It has been working for me! Seriously!
It may not work for everyone, but the thinning hair in front is thicker and growing back. Even the crown is starting to show life of small hairs regrowing. It's not been long enough to see how things will end up, but it truly makes MY scalp feel better, has stopped the hair from falling out, and I truly, and unbelievably so, have seen regrowth!
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the price...way too high.
Then again, though I must stress again that it may not work for everyone, I'm happy to see actual results. I'm shocked!
I'm looking forward to the weeks ahead to see what may happen.
If all else has failed, you may want to give the laser comb a try.
I'm really glad I'm doing so!
Good luck to all.

Next week will be 3 months since I started using HairMax. I waited because I wanted to be sure if it was working or not. First of all let me say that I am a woman with thinning hair in the front, at the hairline and to about halfway back (around my ears but on top, not on the sides). My mother has VERY thin hair to where you can see her scalp all the time all over her head, and I appear to be going that same direction so I was willing to do about anything to stop the hair loss, not to mention regrow some hair. When I bought this product it had not been tested on women so there wasn't much information for me to go on, plus it was pretty pricey but like I said, I'd have tried just about anything. I'm not a particularly disciplined person and I'd say I've used it between 3-5 times a week. I'm not going over my whole head...just the areas of concern and that only takes a few minutes per treatment.
So now, nearly three months later, I can see that it is working. I even showed my husband yesterday. Both of us can definitely see a lot of short (maybe 1 cm or so) length hairs sticking up out of my scalp in the area of treatment. Obviously this is really encouraging! I am going to continue to use it and hope for even more but I'm cautiously optimistic. It did take quite a while to work so you have to be patient.
Some of the negative reviewers haven't used the product as directed because they say they are sending it back before trying it for the recommended length of time. A couple of weeks isn't going to do much of anything so if that's what you want don't waste your money. I'm sure like everything else in this world, it won't work for everyone but it is working for me and I'm very happy about it. A side note to those of you who say balding is a fact of life and to get over it....that may be fine for men who can easily look within normal range walking around in public with an obviously bald or balding head, but it is extremely insensitive to say that to a woman! It is a very distressing problem and the emotional impact on women AND men should not be minimized, so deal with your own issues and don't make matters worse for others.
