Does the CurrentBody LED Hair Growth Helmet Really Work? Doctor Anne’s 6-Month Review

[@DoctorAnne]

Let me know: Where do you see the biggest difference in the before and afters?

[@PlugInBaby185]

Thanks for the video! ❤ I think overall the results are great! It's interesting to know what you'll think after a year of use. I have been using this helmet for 10 months now for alopecia areata. I started seeing significant results after 6 months, I think it helped me a lot. The hair grows much faster and the scalp is less irritated. But it's hard to measure the exact effect of the helmet among the other things I do, like scalp massage, serum, diet change... Right now the alopecia almost stopped completely. 🥰

That is great to hear - the most important thing is that something helps.

Thank you, I'm considering to invest in this kind of device so your reviews very helpful

[@DoctorAnne]

After watching the video, do you feel differently about getting one?

[@davidsotir4318]

Great, balanced review Dr.Anne, as always. I think visible results will also depend what stage in the hair growth cycle any photos are taken (the cycle can be anywhere from 3-6 years). I like how your conclusions are always measured and thoughtfully considered. I have personally used LLLT with success but combined with oral dutasteride and topical minoxidil.

Thank you for your kind words and for adding your experience.

I splurged on the older version of the Omnilux, and I honestly didn’t see much of a difference. However, I lost a good bit of weight so I’m not sure the helmet could compete with that. Still, I use it because it is relaxing, and I like to do what I can since my frontal hairline is so thin now. I also use minoxidil, and hrt. Not sure I can do much more than that☺

[@DoctorAnne]

Why do you assume the weight loss influenced the hair loss? Do you think you became nutrient deficient inthe process? Genuinely curious question!

[@321morlan4]

@DoctorAnne good question! I probably shouldn't assume that, as despite losing a good deal of weight, i tried very hard to eat healthfully and took a multivitamin. I've just seen reports that the category of weight loss medicines (which i was on) were associated with hair loss. However, now that i think about it, i had thinning hair before the weight loss. So it might just be due to advancing age (54 years young).

[@DoctorAnne]

@@321morlan4 It is very hard to determine why one is loosing hair, especially as with stressful events (to which a strict diet absolutely ounts) the hair loss can start with a 3 months delay. But of course if the medication you were on is linked to hair loss, it might be a valid explanation.

There was some improvement in the before and after at the temple. Otherwise I didn't see a difference. I wonder how it would compare to the headband that Hot and Flashy uses. I think her hairband is laser, not LED. Thanks for the video.

[@DoctorAnne]

That would be an interesting question. My problem with headbands is that they only cover a small area and that in women hair loss tends to be diffuse, so in theory you would need to use it repeatedly and always move it back a little, which would be time consuming.

I'm returning mine, I believe lasers work better than leds for hair

[@DoctorAnne]

How long have you had it for?

[@frankg.39]

@@DoctorAnne 4 and a half months, haven't noticed improvements.

[@DoctorAnne]

@@frankg.39 It takes time, but I understand that you don't want to wait any longer.

[@allenapoe7458]

Would it also help with scalp psoriasis stretching over the whole scalp? I read the "irestore" uses low laser treatment as well so now I am torn. Can you maybe recommend one of the two? 🥲

[@DoctorAnne]

Have you seen a doctor about the Psoriasis? I would talk to them first before trying something like this, maybe there are better treatment options. As I haven't tried the iRestore myself, I can't really comment on which one is better, sorry.
