[@godsavethequeen457]

I bought a Platinum LED red light lamp for some neuropathy I had. My chiropractor recommended it. Since I had it anyway I figured I would try it for my hair loss. From what I’ve heard, red light only restores 35% more hair. It doesn’t bring everything back. I would say this is true for my experience. Did it bring everything back? No. However my hair is thicker now than it was 2 years ago. My hair is the thickest it’s been in the last 15 years or so. You can still tell I have thinning hair but it has improved substantially. Less of my scalp is visible than it was before and my ponytail is noticeably thicker. Hair barrettes that used to slip out of my hair now remain firmly in place, in fact my hair is now almost too thick to use them. My hair fall has substantially decreased as well. I have also heard that minoxidil only works for less than half of the people that try it. I’ve tried it twice and didn’t see much if any improvement. More recently, I have made a point of eating more animal based protein and now my hair fall has plummeted even more. Hair loss is such a complex problem with so many different causes. There’s so much trial and error involved in figuring out what works best for you.

I used irestore for about 15 months. Results were minimal and the reason I stopped using it after 15 months is because it became nonfunctional- the lights didn't come on anymore. No loose wires or change in how it was used. But out of warranty time so basically I now have a useless $1200 helmet. I took photos once a month to track progress or lack of it. The only benefit I saw was my hair grew longer faster than usual but did NOT grow thicker hair or more dense hair.

Dr. Linkov. I've had one FUE transplant 10 years ago. Age 58. That procedure worked well. I was thinning as I got older but not completely bald. The follow-up protocols for me are Revian Red (10 mins per day); Oral minoxidil/finasteride/biotin, made by a compounding pharmacy and taken daily, and once a week derma rolling. My hair looks great and I haven't noticed any side effects. Perhaps you can comment in a future video about oral minoxidil/finasteride/biotin and its efficacy as I've read recently in the NY Times about how powerful the combination can be. I'm a testament to consistency and not waiting too long to begin treatment. All the best.

Good point!

[@kellievanellie]

Very true. I was just thinking about how sun probably does help hair growth. I think a huge reason my hair got more dense was from making a point to go outside daily- but I don’t have hair loss. I wonder if the helmet just being close and pulsing has the most to do with it?

I had some hair thinning about 3 months after covid. I even had a spot that was almost completely gone. I tried minoxidil and it caused severe itching flaking and burning. I hD gotten a small red light therapy device for pain---- it looks like a mini flashlight. I dont know why but I decided to try it on my head . I do it when I'm decompressing in the evening and I just sort of lay on my bed close my eyes and think. I've been using this light everyday for between 10 to 30 min and I have all kinds of baby hairs growing. I've been at this for 2 weeks and some of these hairs are almost an inch and some are about 1 and a half centimeters. The hair shedding I was experiencing has been slowing down to almost normal. .....and after covid it was a lot. Overall I lost about half my hair and it happened in a vouple of showers. I was scared to see such large amounts if hair fall and had to unclog the shower drain several times which until then I had never had to unclog a shower drain. There was hair all over my pillow and kept tickling my arms as it fell through the day. I was devistated

[@stevo3405]

I use the Revian Red in concert with 2X daily minoxidil protocols. I'm 58 and my three brothers are all bald and I still have my hair. The treatment seems to work if done consistently. I can't say I've had major regrowth but I can say that my hair, for my age, has pretty good coverage. I have no doubt I would be close to bald at this point without that active planning many, many years ago. Minoxidil began about 12 years ago and Revian Red about 15 months ago. 10 mins per day with Revian Red.

Finasteride is most important because it's a DHT blocker. Finasteride and minoxidil work independently of each other because minoxidil is a stimulant. LLLT devices are also stimulants. It might be helpful to add it to your regimen, but I'm not 100 percent convinced that they work.

My personal experience after 6 months of use with a highly reputable 272 laser hood is that LLLT has little or no effectiveness.

A study indicates that LLLT may have a detrimental effect on melanoma tumors by promoting blood vessel formation, which can potentially accelerate tumor growth. This suggests caution should be exercised when considering LLLT treatment for individuals with melanoma or similar conditions.

[@scd6969]

These caps are astronomically expensive for the kind of treatment they deliver, when the same can be achieved at a tiny fraction of the cost using over the counter RLT bulbs. Don't place too much value on the "FDA cleared" claim, as it is rather easy to attain with the right amount of money handed over, given the 510K process is very expensive. RLT treatment mechanisms between a large bulb vs an array of "medical grade" LEDs essentially the same. Whether it is in the form factor of a baseball cap vs just a bulb pointed towards yoru head makes very little difference when you understand how RLT works. It is incredibly effective at penetrating deep into the skin, so you do not need to have the light so precisely targeted. Anyway if you want to give it a shot without spending the astronomical asking price of a Capillus cap, buy yourself a couple of $40 RLT bulbs and some cheap clamp lamps give it a shot.

Any thoughts on the Revian? It claims two types of LED light which are more effective than the laser light, and 10 minutes a day. Also the laser cap HD +. No cheap laser light one. Thanks!

[@Ignozi]

I'm concerned that as a longhair, buying a cap or a helmet simply won't work for me since the laser won't penetrate through my hairs to reach my scalp. I'm in the early stages of AGA (androgenic alopecia) and I'm going on finasteride this week. I wanted to supplement my finasteride regiment with laser therapy but I don't know if my current hair density will allow for this to work. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Good video! I use the Laser comb with good results. I am able to treat areas of my scalp that needs it unlike the cap which would be treating areas that don't need it. Keep up the good videos!

[@michealgregor1994]

10:30 Do we have ways of measuring cellular growth? If a cell is stimulated into kicking up production it both utlizes more nutrients being carried to it in the circulatory system and creates more waste, correct? Is that use and waste measurable in a specific area? Also, can we take pictures of the tissue to observe stimulation, growth and waste? With those tools, you could do a trial and error with each patient to see if you can unlock an optimal combination. Just my two cents- not a doctor. :)

@@28Driftstar I'm nor sure which treatment you are asking about. I started propecia in may of 2000. I started rogaine around 2010 and I started using the laser cap on fathers day 2018. I noticed results from the laser cap in about 3 months. I did not notice any shedding phase.

[@bigdoubleu117]

So the difference between laser hair removal and laser hair growth is just the level intensity? I have laser hair removal machines called Ulike. It's a quick intense flash. I also have these curved machines which are light therapy machines which say it helps with acne, but I wonder if they'd be good for hair growth as well since they might be low level. What color should the light therapy be? Because apparently different color lights do different things.

[@Bakanelli]

Haha I bet the differences are also is the power level & frequency of the radiation (a lot of the time expressed in wavelength, but it’s the same thing you just calculate one from another). Look since you’re obviously not an electrical engineer or someone who understands this good enough but is interested in learning it I would highly recommend to learn from Chat GPT4 or use other respectable sources

[@drstrangeluv25]

Thanks for the video! It'd be nice to know if there were studies looking at the relative effectiveness of near IR light or at least absorptivity by the chromophores. The prices are ridiculous for what the devices actually are. A laser cap seems like a relatively easy DIY project: 3D printed cap and several LED/lasers in parallel with a small battery pack. It seems like literature can give you appropriate levels of intensity to calculate emitter density & output.

[@chaosbringer12]

I'm really torn between rogaine and laser therapy. I've noticed my hairline only recently starting to recede ever so slightly over the last year. It's giving me some bad anxiety to be honest, but I'm finding it difficult to choose despite knowing that I need to nip it in the butt so to speak while I still have a full head of hair despite it thinning out a bit. I don't really see tons of hair falling out while I shower or run my hands through which I think is a good sign? Anyway. Thank you for the informative video!

[@Mickelangelo17]

Have the same problem, I started to use the laser cap and rogaine simultaneously, haven't seen a difference after 3 months so far.

[@personmcdudeguy]

Take progress photos. Every two weeks ot once a month. Look at them and decide pretty soon what you want to do. Like the Dr. said, if you are deciding between rogaine and laser light therapy, he recommends being on at least two treatment modalities, so it is probably better to do them both.

When I had cancer and my hair started falling out, I just shaved my head and wore my fedora until it came back. But there are people in the cancer community that use a "cold cap" to prevent hair loss to begin with. The way it works must be a lot different, no?

[@colettejaques2559]

Very different..cold caps keep the blood away and therfore stop the chemo from circulating the scalp area...this is different

[@vanes9279]

I've been using capillus for just four weeks, I have the most expensive version, to understand. I am also taking supplements such as Serenoa, Moringa, Herbalife Formula 1 and Vitamins. After 2 days I immediately noticed that the hair is not falling out, now it is growing back hair. I use Capillus before going to bed with hair washed and feel until the next day that the "circulation" in my head (I think) is working. Plus, hair that's thicker and healthier to the eye. I was so undecided whether to buy it because I saw so many negative comments but I think they are from the competition (trichologists) or people who have a wrong diet: if you don't eat the right nutrients, your body doesn't have the basis for building hair.

So, the best combination I’ve discovered and tested on two of my friends as well: Capillus, Herbalife F1 + Niteworks, and LifeWave X39. This is the ultimate recipe for hair regrowth!

[@michaelrosenberg2420]

So, What I use... LLLT cap, minoxidil, finasteride, Derma-rolling., I have been fighting hair loss for 25 years, and winning! The biggest noticable difference has been the addition of derma-rolling. That has increased the density noticably. My wife and kids have noticed the difference as well. The true test is me. I am very pleased with the regrown of vellus hairs turning to more mature ones. An interesting side note. I have been using Rogaine for 25 years and my hair have very little grey, about 10% opposed to my brother who is totally grey. Perhaps it is the constant stimulation of the follicle not sure.

Hello! Thank you for all your awesome content. This is the most informative channel on youtube on hairloss and hair restoration also done by an experienced surgeon that actually does himself the procedures. I was wondering, did you happen to see studies done for redensyl, procapil, baicapil, capixyl - some emerging compounds for hairloss, although maybe not as potent as the medicines like finasteride and minoxidil, for some people, especially in those that start to observe their receeding since the first phases and have a family history of androgenetic alopecia, but still, maybe they can somehow help preserve hair alongside with the laser option.
