Low Level Laser Therapy For Hair Loss 

Derma roller once a week along with laser helmet every other day helped me get off minoxidil without going through shedding and getting better results

Get you someone who looks at you like how Dr Vikram looks at Dr Russell when he speaks 🥲

I just want to create this post in hopes it may help others, particularly females with androgenetic alopecia. I was diagnosed with it January of 2022, and purchased the "The Original LaserCap" at the higher end, with 224 laser diodes; the LaserCap HD. Mind you this cap cost me thousands. I used it religiously 3x a week at the same time at every session. I want to tell you that after a year of using it, I noticed NO change, and continue to have shedding. Therefore, no, it does not always work (even expensive ones) for females, or anyone in general, and purchasing this may or may not give you the results you hoped for. Thank you for listening!

I was always skeptical about laser caps but if these guys endorse them, I'm in.

If you use a laser cap, will your hair block the lasers from reaching your scalp? I would expect it to be similar to getting a tan when you go outside on a sunny day. The sunlight would tan your face, but your scalp wouldn't tan because it's blocked by your hair. Do people with a shaved head or buzz cut experience better results from LLLT?

Great video! Thank you so much guys! 😊

Lazer cap lllt therapy has restored my slightly grey hair to a much richer brown colour! Strange but good 👍

These laser caps/hats are a total scam. They use standard red LEDS, not LASER diodes. Notice that in the ads or commercials that not a single person is wearing any eye protection to prevent retinal damage. In other words, the light is not from a LASER (coherent light) and not intense enough to do any good or more importantly, any harm. If you truly want to see if you get any benefit from red laser therapy, buy a RED laser pointer for about $5 and use it on a small region of your bald spot. I would be willing to bet, you will not notice any results even after a month of use. BTW - Even a 5 mW laser can cause eye damage depending on duration of exposure, so handle with care.

I used my first pay check on the laser hair max comb. Used it for 2 years religiously every other day. Zero results

How about Minoxidil Plus Dutasteride Plus microneedle Plus Low Laser Therpay Or Dutasteride Plus Finasteride Plus natural dht blockers Plus microneedle Plus topically applied monoxidill and topical finasteride and LLLT Plus Ru58841 and biotin and multi vitamin and Hair bands for scalp tension and dht blocker shampoo and Nizoral

I think you meant 650 NANOmeters when speaking of the wavelength.

So do you have to use this cap forever or is there a point where you could stop using it.

My Hairmax comb says to use it only 11 minutes, 3 times a week. Wondering now if I should be using it for 30-40 minutes like the docs recommend.

Best hair loss podcast on RU-vid. Thank you! You mentioned 30 min per session 3 times per week. The Rx version of the Capillus is timed at 3 min - which is said by the manufacturer to be sufficient. The model you showed on the pod cast looks the same as mine - therefore that system would have to be cycled 10x per treatment to reach 30 min. The battery is not designed for that amount of time nor do I think the manufacturer recommends it. Could you clarify ?

Can you recommend somelaser helmet brands please.

Hair Max 272 Flex Cap does a good job. It's on the pricier side but worth the money. My husband and I have been using it for two years and will continue.

So what top 3 caps would you recommend? What are your thoughts on the new Kiierr272Premier Laser Cap?

So why Dr. Vikram is not following his own advice? I mean, we can tell that he is going bald as well, especially when he takes off the cap we can tell, amost the same is happening to me.... I watched many videos but when I noticed that I was a bit disappointed.

Do you recommend lasers + LED or laser only? Brands like Capillus and Theradome claim laser only is the most effective bc LED light disperses and doesn't penetrate.

Hello Doctors, I dont wash my hair everyday can I use these helmets on days when you dont have washed you hair? I have the IRestore Pro. It says 25min, is it better to use it up to 45min?

Hoping to get an answer here, I am all in to buy the 272 diode laser cap but this 1 question always keep coming up, as this treatment is never ending, can these red light lasers cause any kind of cancer cell production to the body, with this kind of use (30 mins every other day for years and years), please help, Is there any study suggesting this ?

Hi docs. Please do recommendations good brands for LLLT caps. I'm not sure which one I should get, given the cost i want to make sure I'm getting a right one that works. Please help.

The Hairloss Show Can you do an episode talking about if/how stem cells can be used for hairloss?

Amazing channel. Incredibly informative and helpful for me to make informed decisions about what treatment is right for me. Thank you Doctors!

Can you link the clinical trials?

Thank you for this!! There is so much garbage out there by companies who just want to push their products. Can you do a follow-up on which ones you would recommend, specs (i.e. output ranges from 560 mW to 1360 mW and I'm not sure how much difference that makes, the number of lasers, mix of lasers and LEDs like iRestore)?

Could LLLT result in skin cancer especially in scalp area? Thanks for the video by the way.

Which brand of laser cap to use?

Good day. Can we combined fenasteride, dermaroller and minoxidil with lllt?

Are there any indicators we can look for to know if a cap is good quality or not? Such as number of laser, laser/LED combos, specific LED wavelength or laser power classification?

correction at 2:26. it's not micrometers (um) it's nanometers (nm)

I hope you'd answer me. My LLLT helmet's specifications are: laser count 80. wavelength 678nm. power input 100-240v 50Hz/60Hz. power output 5V dc / 1.5A. operation temperature 60-90 F, RH 80% This is what it says on the box, is it good?

Hello. Can the cap be used during pregnancy? Also, I have the iRestore cap. What are your thoughts on this one? Is it as effective as the one you show in the video?

Watching this with my laser cap on 😅 🤞🏾

I am wondering how a cap is going to work unless you cut your hair extremely short? Otherwise, how is the light going to reach the scalp?

Anyone tried the Hairmax laser cap?

Everyone should fin-min-laser-dermaroll for the best regrowth outcomes.

Hi guys, I have looked at the irestore as it has some good reviews. Is this something you could or are able to endorse? The reason I ask is that it is ‘lot of money and more importantly time to lose on the wrong product. Thanks again for your very well covered and reassuring videos.

Can you guys made a video about the difference between beard follicles and hair follicles?

Which LLLT hat do you recommend? which one is FDA approved? not FDA cleared

Interestingly when I for laser hair removal on my bikini line, it stimulated hair on my upper thighs near the bikini area. So i guess it works

The hairmax comb say 3x 11 mins a week. No wonder it's useless.

I used iRestore for close to 8 months. I saw no difference. The difference I noticed was that it made each of my hair to prevent from falling. I sometimes would scratch my scalp and will see a lot of hair falling off. After the 8 months of wearing the helmet, I scratched my scalp and noticed no hair fell off my head. It did not make my hair grow but made it more resilient. Of course I am also over 55 years old so that could also be a factor.

Have you guys reviewed iRestore brand? Is it good? Thanks.

Also there is a difference between Diodes & LED and a difference between pulsing and steady light. Also some have red lights mixed with blue lights. So just because someone says it didn't work doesn't really mean much because we have no idea the difference's of success between some and others. I for one don't use a single one of the items they discuss. I use an upright LED red light that designed for the entire body use. To stimulate mitochondrial cell production which is never going to happen using a lasercap.

Does it go through shredding phase like minoxidil?

Which brand of LLLT is the best. Pls let me know. And where to buy it? Pls let me know.

11:02 Nothing to see here guys. Just walking around with a helmet and a cable running to my head

Doc, I am looking for a response from you. Does that cap stimulate your edges? The demonstration cap doesn't cover your edges. Which type do you sell? Once again we listened to you can you be polite and answer some of your subscribers questions? Thank you.

Hello doctor, my hair was extremely strong and thick, I lost 2÷3 of my hair, I am trying to remove it. I was 15 years old, I applied gel to the roots of my hair, I washed my hair every day, I did not protect my hair in the sun, I was also depressed, after that period, my hair started to thin and fall out. After 1 year, I was diagnosed with androgetic alpoesia for the first 3 months. I used minoxil, I went to the doctor again because it did not block qma dht, I started finasteride, I have completed 1 year now, the side effects are a decrease in libido, difficulty in speaking, there is a problem in the brain, difficulty in thinking, I have difficulty understanding, this is probably my question to the doctor, which I was worried about before, should I stop finasteride and continue using a low level laser cap? My hair will not fall out again. Can I get rid of the side effects? Also, is a low level laser cap as effective as finasteride? Can it protect my hair? I would appreciate it if you could answer me quickly. I am thinking of quitting the drug. I need to study and cannot work.

Ques. I got I restore pro. It says 25 min 3 x a wk. You said at least 30-45 min. Why did they say 25

my brother used both the IRestore and Hairmax laser comb. Total waste of time and money.

Both these clowns have no hair and they are lecturing us about hair

Which is the best stimulant therapy out of min, laser and prp? If used as a standalone treatment

Can cheaper hair cap systems be worthwhile? I understand the increased number of laser diodes can have a greater more efficient effect. However, it appears the cap systems which possess an increased number of diodes simply recommend less frequent treatments, with less time for each treatment. Can a cap system with less diodes make up the difference through more frequent, and longer treatments as they often recommend? In other words, can cheaper systems be as effective for the more budget conscious, or is the effectiveness reduced to such a level that it would be wiser to invest in a more expensive system with more diodes?

What about combining red and near infra red?

Do you know if the irestore laser helmet is worth buying?

Laser 272 PowerFlex Cap is $2712 for me.. That's an insane amount.. CapillusUltra Mobile Laser Therapy Cap is $1300, but Laser 272 has 3x the amount of medical-grade lasers I read. But still, that's a heck of a lot of money.. On the other hand, if it works it's not that much money.. :D

Kindly make a video on lifestyle changes (diet, exercise etc.) you'd like to recommend for those suffering from hairloss. That'd be very helpful coming from you two. Thanks.

Take the dog for a walk? LOL

‘Not been around as long?’ .. LLLT dates back to the 60s

I have been using laser w/ finasteride for 10 yrs ( but i did started at early stage) so my hair did improve. I have also kept what i had . 3x a week laser👍✌

Hi, which cap would you recommend that omits the most energy and creates the most stimulation?

You could sell anything.

I would buy this in an instant. But the only thing that’s making me sit on the fence with this is the need for ongoing use. It’s said by users that it’s like Minoxidil, where if this improves your situation… once you stop, not only does the gains stop but it will decline, meaning you will lose all progress you’ve gained and back to how you started after stopping. I guess that’s a bit like bodybuilding, you gain but then you lose the muscles and return to your original state when the weights stop. Would’ve been nice if one can retain the hair gained if you stop treatment… but I guess that would be regarded as a “cure” .. which there isn’t a cure for hairloss at the moment :(

I own a 1 PERSON INFRA RED SAUNA I sweat like a pig in it . but I rarely use it =dust collector now . Do you think that it would help with hair growth ?????

I appreciate all these videos.

Laser diode is a laser diode. As long as it has good coverage, number of diodes, go with the cheaper. At most maybe you have to wear it a little longer if diodes are not as powerful. I made my own for 60$. The diodes are as good if not better than a lot of commercial hats out there.

Thanks for this video. Could you please recommend us which brand of LLLT cap is the most effective according to your clinical practice?

Can we combine microneedling and laser therapy for hair loss?

The helmet does not cover the sides of your head, Vikram!

Please talk about exosomes for hairloss

What about using Minoxidil, Lazer, and Fenasteride? I have heard from scouring info on the web that you can stimulate too much?

I'm confused. Some caps are all lasers, some are all LED, and some are a mix of the two. Which kind has the best results?

OK but hitting your scalp with lasers must have effects on your brain in the long term surely? Can you emphasise or debunk this please

THIS DOESN'T WORK. HOW DID THIS BOGUS TECH GET THIS FAR.

Is there anything at all for the shiny bald guy ☹️

I spent $1400 on my lazer cap and it works great. I noticed my hair was turning light brown and not growing on top. I started to use this lazer cap from irestore . The thing I noticed first was the color of my hair getting dark and thick. After a year use it stabilized my hair ..so then I added supplements to my routine. I've been able to bring back 40% of my hair and I'm not balding anymore.

Can you mix micro needling and laser therapy? Or is that too much for the skin?

Since LLLT is a stimulation therapy like Minoxidil, does this mean it will only be effective for so long, as it does not tackle the root of the problem (i.e. DHT)?

Do you guys know much about LLLT and Micro needling? Think in Japan or somewhere in Asia they are getting ready for a new study with micro needling 1.5mm and right after they use LLLT.

Hi Dr. Knudsen and Dr. Vikram - informative video as always! What is your recommended regiment for a cap with total output of 1010mW? I think you mentioned the 3x week, for 30-45min per session, for the 650mW cap in your video. Thanks guys!

Is excess hair shedding during the first few months of LLLT cap normal?

Is the illumiflow 272 laser cap good?

If it's just increases circulation why couldn't you sit under a heat lamp

can it be dangerous? for skin or even the brain?

Do you have a view on whether LED can be as effective as laser in delivering results?

would 15minutes twice a day be fine for a laser cap? mine has 108 diodes

Studies shown usage upto 6 month . Any idea on safety in terms of adverse effects of llt when used beyond 6 months or continued usage .

Does more diodes mean better? What is the minimum fo d it to be effective?

Does it matter how long your hair is? If it's too long, perhaps the laser cannot penetrate through to the scalp?

650 nanometers, not micrometers.

I have been used for over 3 mos, didn’t see result yet. As you said it took much long time to see the result, I may come back to put my review after 6mos. Thanks! 👍

Which brand do you recommend to your patiences? Thanks a lot

If you so positive it works, why you not using it for your hair?

Is Theradome a good one ? Any experience with that here ?

How would I know if the lasers/ diodes are correct ? I.e I don’t want the lasers in the helmet to effectively be hair removal. I have 678nm helmet 272 diodes the power output 5V/1.5A

Oh I'll definitely be walking my dog with this battery powered led helmet on.

The only thing that I’ve seen peer review publication showing that actually works at thickening and regrowing hair is micro needling used with topical minoxidil. All of the other people involved in the study without adding the minoxidil showed no progress or response from the treatment. I just started using derma stampwith minoxidil. if I have a good response from it, I will certainly post it online for others here on RU-vid for others to see.✌️ by the way, I am in no way compensated for sharing my testimony on any of this.
