Iknewthisdaywouldcome: next week will be my 3month mark with my llt treatment I have a 200 diode helmet, thanks to Nid.

On to results I have seen thus far…

1) Scalp itch drastically reduced (almost gone) went from a 8-9…to a 2-3...

2) Hair is darker, even enough for several people to comment on

3) Another member said it best when stating starting to noticed “good hair days”, yes! I know exactly what he means, as I am having them everyday!

4) Vellus hairs popping up around hairline, which I hope will turn terminal

5) Now for the weirdest part, I have several new Terminal hairs below my hair line where I never had hair ever before, cant explain this one, just wish I could reroute those bastards about an inch and a half north.

Must state i take a few internals, use organic shampoos, and use ACV rinse and GFS topical before bed.

Other than that, that's about it. [i take a few internals, use organic shampoos, and use ACV rinse and GFS topical before bed. Fish oil, mag, iodine, vit Bcomplex, zinc And Niox Scalp peel once a month, paired with a pretty clean diet and exercise]

Waiting on my HT i will be having in Feb. and i should have this son of a bitch beat, as i am pretty sure i have stoped loss at this point.

Stellaisback: My hair was also super oily. 1 day after I washed it it would be totally greasy, something that was not the case before. Now that has regulated too.

In 6 months m hair has thickened up like you would not believe. Did i grow new hair? That I do not know. As jpeter said it was really scraggly in the front and was truly thinning. Women's hair loss is more diffused so it is sometimes harder to tell. Laser makes hair grow much faster.

TheComeBackKid: From my own experience with lasers I can undoubtedly say that when I use my modded lasermax for the recommended 20 mins, I don't get sore....when I use it for 45 mins+ I do get sore.....My results with lasers have been up and down. I'm gonna use my laser device for 45 mins every other day for the next 3 months and report back. TheComeBackKid My modded lasermax has 197 diodes

Dobika: I built a 30 laser brush that I use every other day. I move it three times during my treatment, a total of 30 minutes. My hair is thin in front. I've been at it for about 2 months and I'm seeing great results. Healthier hair and regrowth I've been fighting this for 15 years and do a tom of other common sense stuff but thanks to you and all the great information on your site the lasers are making a difference.

http://www.regrowth.com/hairloss-forums/viewthread.cfm?f=1&t=22395

Dobika: I feel like a light weight here. My laser device is a cluster of 30 diodes that I move three times during my treatments, 15 min, 10min, and 10 minutes, every other day. I've been doing this for around 3 months and after 1.5 months I started to see some new growth. Yes OMG I am going to build a helmet, now that I know this works. You are the Man dude! And F--- all those aholes who say it doesn't work and say you make money off this, even though if you did you would deserve it. I know this sounds strange but I use a big magnifying glass to monitor my progress and when I see new hairs sprouting I get really excited. It's a slow but steady process but it's better than losing it. One side seems to be a little more responsive than the other, but who's complaining?

I guess I'm lucky because my problem is all in front and I didn't lose it all, it just got thinner, more sparse and what I have all stayed in the growth cycle. The quality of my existing hair has also improved and I have stopped all abnormal loss.

I'm really hopeful now. I'm 48 years old and don't expect to get everything back but I can't wait to see where I am in a year.

Did you guys ever see those Aerogarden things in Target where you can grow your own herbs under a hood? That's how I feel about growing hair now with lasers, just add light and watch it grow. Kinda like a Chea pet ha ha.

Oh, one more thing. I feel like I'm cheating the system getting great laser treatments for free when a lot of people are spending thousands of dollars at the clinic

http://www.regrowth.com/hairloss-forums/viewthread.cfm?f=1&t=21799

Dobika: I've never felt the soreness you guys talk about but I am getting results so I'm not going to change my routine. I can say that my hair and scalp feel healthy like it used to when I was younger. No itch and none of that weak root feeling.

Danlalane: Lemming - 150 Diodes - all at once 20 min 3x a week. Had great results at 1.5-2 month mark, then dropped fin and minox,,,,, shedding like crazy since, even went back on fin. Almost 5 months now of lasering, noticeably less hair now than when I began in August. Ordered 150 more diodes, gonna build a messiah variation and hope to stabilize things....... Moral of story, careful dropping treatments too soon.

buddyebsen: My experience has been very similar to yours. The first thing I noticed is daily hairloss decreased to near zero. Then existing hairs became thicker and now grow longer. I'm not sure I will get new growth but the overall appearance of my hair makes it look like I have more hair. The thin hair at the crown has gotten thicker so it looks like it has filled in, which in a sense, it has. All this in a few months. I am convinced that laser therapy works for me.

http://www.regrowth.com/hairloss-forums/viewthread.cfm?f=1&t=22507 whovian: [6 months lasermax 50 review] Since I have this week off, I thought I would take some time to review my lm50. I started by using it 3x/week for about an hour each session. It has a boom arm that rotates the unit, and so I would use it for 30 mins on one side of my head, and then rotate it around to the other side for the next 30 minutes. I found that after 2 months, I saw no results and figured I was using it too much, so I cut the time back to 45 mins total, and now I use it in 3 'zones': right side, top, and left side. Since making that adjustment, I have noticed an improvement in overall hair quality, albeit a small one. The real test is when I go to get my haircut (every 4-6 weeks). My past 4 haircuts have been more satisfying than before, and I think that it's due to the improved quality of hair. My main area of concern is the temples/forelock, and although no regrowth to report, the forelock has thickened up a bit. I like the design, and as I am not a diffuse thinner anywhere, it suits me fine.

brh1219: 100 diode helmet 20 mins 2 zones 3x a week a little over 2 months now. Noticeably less fallout even after getting off .25mg EOD fin. I think less and less about my hair itching and inflamation. I feel like within a month or so it may be completely gone.

Just started seeing new vellus hairs coming in at the hairline and temples. Not sure about the thickness of my hair but i can definitely style it better. For Ex. before i would have to put hairspray or gel in my hair to keep it up...now when my hair is wet and i comb it up...it just holds form once dried

helpmegrow: Ive been lasering for a little over 2 months. LM90 modded to 167 diodes. Focused lasers, I move my head slightly every 8 seconds to insure better coverage. 15 min, 3x a week. My hair loss is roughly half of what it was before these two months. I'm also on revivogen but I have a suspicion it's not responsible for my success. It's great to hear others are also enjoying better hair days!

cpranov: Been using this for about 8-9 months, 10-12 minutes for the front, then I turn around or scoot forward and repeat. I can't stand anything pressing on my scalp so this worked for me, and I will rock back and forth a bit sometimes while using it. Anything more than 12 minutes or so and I started getting bumps on my scalp that eventually bleed, and a burned feeling for a day or so. There has been an obvious HUGE thickening of hair, I would say probably in the last month the results have really started to accelerate. Also plenty of new hair, but not in the temples -yet-. It was nice to see things take a giant leap forward again recently. I also started using topical niacinamide to help my scalp barrier.

http://www.regrowth.com/hairloss-forums/viewthread.cfm?f=1&t=23272

cpranov Thanks, its actually been 8-9 months, and not sure if you read my entire post but my results are great. Much much much thicker. darker better hair in all the MPB areas, new hairs and much less fallout. This last month really showed another level of improvement. There seem to have been 2 "wow moments", one about 4.5 months in and one just recently. the only topicals I use are nicanamide and occasionally undiluted GFSE, and now use just a bit of toppik as opposed to a shitload before.

kilimanjaro: I have a 5mW custom-made laser helmet that I've been using for the past 3.5 months with great results. I've noted incredible thickening and total stop of loss with some modest terminal regrowth

Orin: Lasers benefited my hair from the first session I had. I've stopped using any product in my hair.. it actually doesn't do anything to add any volume anymore - the hair is already almost unaturally thick (well, compared to how it used to be). http://www.regrowth.com/hairloss-forums/viewthread.cfm?f=1&t=23334

Lapwing: I would say I have improved almost a half (0.5) NW. For me I have seen the most improvement in the crown area. Temples are maintaining, but I am not seeing any significant improvement there yet. The temple areas are notoriously hard to get any improvement there, so I am happy with just no further loss there. I have been on lllt for 11 months now.

Bethany: [Lasermax90 review] I am about a week short of 2 full months of usage, but I had to share an interim update....

I was closely inspecting my hair today and was FLOORED by the large number of new hairs that are sprouting from my scalp...in areas where I hadn't even realized it had been thinning!

Having dealt with thinning hair since the early 90's and tried a ton of options out there, I can definitely say that NOTHING has produced this much new hair growth for me (or as quickly) as the LaserMax has. If this trend continues and they develop into healthy, mature hairs, I will be ELATED.

I forgot to mention this above, but it is a rather key observation....

I have what I call a Yin-Yang head....I am 90% gray (ok, WHITE) from my ears forward. The gray is creeping down the back slowly, but the grays in the front started when I was 14. Needless to say, I color my hair so

I have been checking this forum for around 4 years and so I've tried quite a list of treatments, IH top six, Aloe/Dut Topical etc etc etc. I was a bit concerned about wether the laser thing was working as my hair seemed to be getting worse to begin with but after having had my hair cut I can see that i have had a significant thickening in the temple area as well as what looks like regrowth. Hair at the front no longer looks like its hanging on for dear life. The crown has also improved.

My regimen is not very complicated but is definately working:

Revita x4 times a week Tea Trea Oil Shampoo x3 a week Aloe Vera left on overnight when I remember 30 Minutes Lasermax 200 every other day Ecklonia Cava few times a week

I would reccomend everyone to put aloe on the thinning areas before bed.In the moring the scalp has a much less irritated surface.

GrowMikeGrow: [4/11/09] I got a Lasermax 90 3 or 4 months ago. I've been using it every other day and noticed that the shedding has stopped. Hair quality seems better too, but I was wondering if there are any suggestions of what I should be taking to help the lasers out? I have only been using the laser, and while I am seeing good results with just lasers, I figure there might be something I can add to the regimen. I am seeing some new growth and want to make it as much as possible.

hairisgood: [4/12/09] PICTURES = I took another photo of my crown which I think is filling back in. They are both taken in the same light condition with dry hair. Same place in the bathroom under harsh lights. I've only been using the 340 diode helmet i built for a month. I had a 72 diode device that i used for maybe 2 months at most before that. It didn't seem to do that much though. The shorter hairs around my temples are getting longer too with more color but it is hard to photograph because my camera seems to not be able to focus close up.

cuebreeze: [4/15/09] Yea my hairloss has stopped all over. Going by the time of the hair cycle plus taking into account that my scalp is originally screwed up from mpb i think it will take about 5 months before the hair comes back to the part of the cycle where i can see new thicker hairs from the ones that were hanging on for dear life. But hairloss has deffently stopped (temples included)

Zeke: [4/18/09] I'm using minox for over ten years and its the only reason I have hair to laser. A bit over 3 months with lasers and I can honestly say my hair hasn't looked this good in a long time. Significant change in thickness a quality. I believe I see new hair growth but wiil give it more time before I start dancing in the street. Good Luck and just give it more time, I really think this shit works.

glaxom: [4/18/09] i used min for a looong time and would shed each time i stopped, now after over 4month of lasers i stopped the min 3-4wks ago and no new shedding. Plus, after tapering my fin dosage way down over the last several months i completly stopped it a wk ago and so far so good.

Joanne: [4/18/09] ...I feel like I can say--without a doubt--I'm experiencing regrowth! Wow. I can't believe it myself.

My hair still looks like absolute crap because it's shoulder length and the new hairs are about 1-1/12" long. In fact, if the light is behind me...I look a little bit like someone holding those electric static balls. Short little hairs sticking out all over my head. So the volume has taken a big hit.

cuebreeze: [6/3/09] im at 5 months and hair feels VERY smooth. I plan on getting a hair cut soon to get rid of the dry britle end as havent had a hair cut in a long time and im expecting hair quality to look much better. http://www.regrowth.com/hairloss-forums/viewthread.cfm?f=1&t=24009

Lapwing: [6/3/09] Anyway, my first definitive test that demonstrated to me that LLLT was working for me was the hand test. When I would smooth over the crown area with my hand or when I was shampooing, at about the 6 month mark of using lasers I noticed my hair felt significantly thicker and I had more coverage in the crown. Before it use to feel so thin back there. It was really a remarkable difference. Visually the difference became clear to me at the 9 month mark for significantly more coverage.

http://www.regrowth.com/hairloss-forums/viewthread.cfm?f=1&t=24009

OverMachoGrande: [6/3/09] Although I don't have much crown loss compared to my temples, the hairs were DEFINITELY getting thin back there. VERY THIN, as a matter of fact -enough that it was starting to cause me great alarm. I started noticing that they felt much thicker somewhere around the 4-6 month point (I can't remember it's been so long now), and that area has definitely filled back in.

http://www.regrowth.com/hairloss-forums/viewthread.cfm?f=1&t=24009

hs01: [6/3/09] I have something even better than the "hand feel" test. I call it the "very, very critical significant other" test. My (critical but supportive) husband, who pointed out that my hair was not what it had once been, years ago, and who told me that the laser comb was doing nothing for me, complimented my laser helmet results -- less than six weeks after I started using it. This is such a turning point. I can't wait to see results at the 3 and 6 month mark. And btw this is without mag oil or emu oil. I ordered mag oil and I'm going to try it. Later on I may try emu oil. I was hesitant about the emu oil as for years I assumed it came from a flightless bird, rather than a plant...

Joely: Just hit the 2 month mark with my 200 diode helmet and am very happy with the progress. Definate thickening up and itching/inflammation has completely ceased. I think there may also be some regrowth in the crown area, I can see these small 'dots' appearing in the area, tiny hairs, but whether these grow into terminal hair I can't say as its still early days. I have had shedding while on Laser, however not a massive shed, just small weak looking hair falling out.

On a side note, my hair is Jet black and my barber oftens comments how dark my hair is. Is there anything to suggest Lasers can be more effective on people with darker hair?

I can also now style my hair. I've never been a massive fan of gels/waxes/creams etc as don't like the idea having those chemicals sitting on my head so haven't really used them in the past but recently started using a tiny amount of American Crew Matte cream which has proved effective (was going to use Fiber but that stuff seems to have a fair few more chemicals in it)

I went into this with an open mind by not doubting Laser treatment but also not expecting miracles but I can only say its had a positive effect on my scalp/hair and things are looking good so far and long may it continue. The helmet has become essential in the battle against hair loss for me. So a shout out to OMG a

You are a legend dude, I can't thank you enough.

I went to my statcounter site today, and I took a look at where some people were coming from and I followed a few of the links to the threads where people linked to my site, and let me tell you... frankly it's a little depressing. It's just amazing how ridiculous some people are about this still -shocking in some instances.

At that hair-restoration-network site, they still can't differentiate between a laser comb and a real device, and they simply refuse to see the evidence in front of them from laser clinics... or US. You, me, and all of us that have broken ground with this. We are completely ignored, disbelieved, or accused of some conspiracy.

I got asked on the phone yesterday how it could be possible that forums are actually the ones suppressing this information -all done by ignorant people that have never tried a real laser device, I have to add- when forums are supposed to be the place where logical discussion and breakthroughs occur. My answer is "I DON'T KNOW!" I really don't. It makes my head spin.

Forums should have known this stuff FIRST... not last. For christ sakes... How many more local news reports on youtube do they have to see -some made five years ago- that show that laser clinics are amazing? I mean, jeez... HOLLYWOOD?! Don't you know that actors and actresses have been doing this for FIFTEEN YEARS?! How can you constantly be exposed to all of this evidence and yet still keep repeating "no one has ever shown any credible evidence or a decent picture that has ever shown anything"?

If you are one of those people -and some of the very few of you that are left I think are even moderators at some of these other sites- you are stupid. I, OverMachoGrande, am calling you out on being an idiot. You have made *me*, just an average guy that's trying to solve a problem, a genius by comparison. You guys obviously don't like ME, which is weird -and I've never understood that... it's sort of like being a rabid anti laser person means that you automatically bitterly hate me (and don't even try to deny it, I know what goes on)- but I can easily return that favor because -and sit down when you read this - you aren't important. I'm sorry... you aren't. These are HAIR LOSS FORUMS, and if you are still acting like you are, you aren't interested in fighting hair loss.

There isn't any explanation for all of that anymore, and you should be held accountable for being the moron that you are. You've never tried this, you don't know anyone that has, you don't even know WHY there is a difference between what we are doing and a laser comb. That's why I'm announcing that there *will* be an "accountability section" when I get my new site. I'm naming names, I'm posting quotes and links, and when the evidence becomes even MORE OVERWHELMING than it already is -remember, literally hundreds of new people are trying this as of the begining of this year- I'm going to prove how close minded you were, "ulterior motive driven" you were, and how piss poor you are at deciphering evidence right in front of your face, but how GREAT you are at parading your ignorance and talking out of your ass.

-O.M.G.

I really hope you start something bigger to get this recognized soon OMG.... I understand it will take a while but every day there seems to be more beleiver here from people who are making helmets. I for one am ready to try bring this to the media's attention

You guys are truly amazing human beings!

I've been using the laser visor on three zones for 20 mins per zone, three times a week, as instructed on OMG's site. I also use a low dose of fin, minox. and Nizoral. I recetly realized that I may have been overusing my Nizoral because my hair was getting dried out. This may have something to do with why my hair seems thinner. I bought a good shampoo and conditioner.

BUt I guess my question is -- is 6 months long enough, or does it take more time for some people to see anything close to the miracles people are proclaiming on here? I really want to believe -- but so far I just haven't gotten noticeable results.

How clean is your scalp when you laser? and

Are you deficient in Magnesium?

Also you can look into maybe using emu oil topically during your treatment to potentially increase absorption.

One thing I am going to change up are the zones I laser. Right now I am lasering in three zones as depicted on OMG's site, two zones to the front left and right, one zone in back. Really, the way my head is shaped and the nature of my thinning, the lasers fit nearly perfectly over the very front and center of my head where I am thinning and then I just need to shift it back to get the vertex. It's possible I just haven't been attacking the right area of my scalp.

Another thing, it's nearly impossible for me to tell if I have the lasers positioned too close or too far away from my scalp. And clearly, the way the laser visor is designed, some areas are farther away and some places are closer because of the curve of my head. So aren't some places getting way too much and some getting way too little?

Finally -- what's this about NOT using minox??? This is the first I've heard of this. COuld this really be inhibiting the lasering process?

Re:

Still staring at that half empty glass , eh?

Re:

Hey Zeke i used min for a looong time and would shed each time i stopped, now after over 4month of lasers i stopped the min 3-4wks ago and no new shedding.

Plus, after tapering my fin dosage way down over the last several months i completly stopped it a wk ago and so far so good.

Re:

I and 99.99% of the people appreciate you doing this and everything thing else you contribute here jdp, don't let one person get to you.

You are trying to help a truly troubled young man whose problems go far, far beyond the superficial loss of hair. He is infested with an overwhelming abundance of negativity and pessimism.

The condition of our over all health and well being depends so much on our ability to enjoy life . A laser helmet, topicals, massages, oils, vitamins, supplements, eating healthy, working out will NOT help this troubled young man...........his psych is terribly damaged from something that has happened in his life and until that is dealt with none of this other stuff will work properly. IMHO

And you say to shampoo with the "right" shampoo. Besides Nizoral, what is the right shampoo?

____________________________________________________

Yeah thanks for this JDP

@cuebreeze: No. I just think it's not nice of you that you open up a topic called "my whole regimen" without mentioning those 2 medications. Now i read posts from you that you have got "scammed", altough as far as i can remember you said that you were able to keep your hair state for the last 2-3 years with that medications. Or am I wrong? I think you should be glad to have found those mediactions, otherwise you would have a lot less hair now.

Just don't tell lies, ok? That's not fair for the people who are searching for help/solutions. If you open up a topic called "My whole regimen", you should mention that you are on Propecia/Minox as well for 3 years and have had good maintaining success with it.

It's nice to see you around ! Is there any way you can delete your posts from this thread considering they do not relate to the topic? Please.

All you have to do is click edit then once the page come up hit delete post at the top. If you need to address cuebreeze and other posters you can do that in another thread. I think JDP deserves a little more respect than that and I hope you're doing well btw.

I'll delete this post too so it doesnt take away from the thread!

I've read a bit on here and I'm wonderdering if perhaps I'm not getting enough voltage to the lasers. I have the 68 laser cluster set up with the 2.4 amp adapter. I know next to nothing about electronics, so I could totally have screwed up the wiring, but I followed OMG's instrucions pretty carefully. I have a feeling either I'm not getting the right voltage to the lasers or the lasers aren't close enough to the scalp.

So can the lasers practically rest on the scalp? Is that too close? And can anyone confirm what the voltage should be set to on the 2.4 amp adapter?

Nice thread man......good job

just checked it out now....I dont vist everyday anymore, wait for my HT to start growing in and resumed my LLLT treatment about a week and a half ago..

In 8 months from now i should have so much hair I wont know what to do with it...

I wish the rest of you will soon say the same....

So I may have to modify the cluster or find a different way to position the cluster for the back -- or cut the time I laser in back - maybe in half? 10 mins in back?

Also, when I decreased the distance from the scalp, I noticeably felt the warmth of the lasers, even in the front, which I hadn't felt before. Are you supposed to feel the warmth of the lasers?

the link is right at the top of this page.....jdp710 put all the pics and info in one spot......nice and easy....i'll be adding new pics in another three months

I followed the wiring instructions very closely. It was very simple, so I'm not sure where the problem is? Any advice as to how I can remedy this problem would be greatly appreciated.

regarding u having problems with curvature of ur scalp, perhaps this will help.

Ive just made a movable cluster like the visor design, but i used a chopped up old helmet, to rest a rectangular cluster of 70 diodes, held up by a wide stretch of foam that goes from one side of the top of the helmet to the other.

anyway, i found that if u get say 3-4 strips of 6mm foam from 'foamies', and put them on top of each other, then chop up a wire coat hanger, and put a curved piece of wire between the layers of foam, u have a support for the cluster that is conformable to the contours of ur scalp, and it will bend, and stay in shape.

Jdp -- if my lasers are running hot, does that affect how they work? Meaning, if they're running hot, will they not grow new hair, or will they simple burn out quicker?

Also, I'm thinking of boosting my power adapter up from 3 volts to 3.5 volts. Is there any danger in doing this? Some of what I've read on here leads me to believe that I'm possibly not getting enough voltage and that turning it up a bit might be helpful. I may not be getting enough voltage because I may have botched the wiring, as is evidenced by my lasers running hot.

BTW - they're not ALL running hot. There are ones that are cool, and ones that are hot.

I did up the voltage to 3.5 volts the other night. I also have started using Jojoba oil before lasering. When I upped the voltage to 3.5 volts, I felt the a sore, tingling sensation I haven't experienced before. Then after the treatment, my whole head was warm and tingly for about 30 minutes. This is the first I've ever experienced this and I feel it's a good sign that my voltage was possibly too low.

Regarding the hot diodes, I actually have spares. I could replace them, but I can't imagine how to go about that when some of the lasers are in the center of the cluster. Even a few in. Can't imagin how to get in there. The lasers are so fragile. I guess one just has to be very precise!

But the thing is, I'm usuing a power adapter that has its own cord several feet in length, clearly made with a thinner gauged wire. Do I need to cut most of that cord off and replace it with 18 gauge wire as well? Or can I keep the origial cord from the adpater? I'd rather NOT have to cut it, because the adapter cord is much more flexible than the 18 gauge wire. But if it's hindering my volts, I will replace it.
