Since 2001, there have been 7 clinical studies conducted with 460 subjects on the HairMax LaserComb®. In 2010, 2 of the studies were conducted on males and 2 were conducted in females.

The HairMax Laser Comb is an easy to use and non-invasive home-use laser device; this medical device uses low level laser to stimulate the scalp and energizes hair follicles, help to maintain your existing hair and retard shedding.
How does HairMax laser comb work?
1. The HairMax laser comb has a patented hair parting teeth system to provide direct path for laser light to reach scalp effectively. The teeth of the HairMax part the hair to allow for precision delivery of laser light to all areas of the scalp and hair follicle without blocking by the hair.
2. The HairMax laser comb produces nine laser beams which generate coherent visible light in the red spectrum. This laser light in the red spectrum with proper power output is beneficial for cutaneous medicine.
3. As a result, the laser energy of the HairMax laser comb energizes weakened hair follicles to prevent further hair loss, and stimulates re-growth of hair.
4. Treatment with the HairMax laser comb can increases blood circulation and cellular metabolism in the scalp. The increase in blood flow brings the important nutrients into the hair follicle, and taking away harmful waste products such as DHT.
5. For optimal results, follow the recommended treatment schedule. Use the HairMax laser comb consistently 3 times a week (non-consecutive days - i.e. Mon., Wed., and Fri.) Each treatment approximately take 10-15 minutes, more frequent or longer usage will not increase faster results. Just like every day brushing and flossing to make your teeth healthy, ongoing HairMax laser comb treatment is needed to maintain healthy hair growth. Any benefits gained may gradually disappear if you stop using it.
6. The HairMax laser comb is a standalone hair loss treatment with no recurring costs and its precision lasers have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years.
