Laser Comb Review: Does it Really Work?

As a man in his late 30s, I’ve been fascinated by the laser comb ever since I heard about it a few years ago. My hair loss wasn’t dramatic—it started in my early 20s and gradually developed into the typical male-pattern baldness that many of the men in my family get. I wasn’t too upset about this, as baldness is just a fact of life for men, but I thought that if I could do something about it, why not at least try? I was skeptical of prescription drugs for hair loss because I didn’t want to have to make an appointment with my doctor and then deal with the side effects, and I definitely don’t have enough money to invest in any of the advanced surgical procedures. So I decided to give the laser comb a shot.

I was able to get a pretty good deal on the laser comb through the web. I was a little wary of the price tag, but I figured that this would be a pretty good price if the device were to actually work. In hindsight, the price is a steal.

Once I received my laser comb in the mail, it was a pretty easy process to figure out. It takes a little bit of charging, but then the usage is easy enough. All you do is hold it against your scalp for four seconds, move it half an inch, hold it for another four seconds, and so on until you’ve gone over the whole scalp three or four times. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes, which may seem like a long time, but when you do it with the TV on it goes by in a snap. Plus, after I did it a few times I found that I didn’t have to think about it anymore.

Over the first few weeks, I noticed what appeared to be an increase in hair loss. But having read the instructions, I was aware that this was just a normal part of the treatment, so I wasn’t too alarmed. As promised, this began to reverse itself after a couple of months. The loss stopped, and I began to notice my hair becoming thicker in some areas. It took a few months to be absolutely certain that I wasn’t just deluding by self, but by about six months into the process, the results were indisputable.

It’s been a year now, and the effects are dramatic. My hairline is not quite where it was in my early 20s, but I’m not about to start complaining about that. The effect was almost like losing hair in reverse. The parts that had only recently begun thinning were the first to regain their thickness, while the parts that were thinning as far back as my mid 20s are the last holdouts. I plan to keep up the treatments, hoping that the regrowth will eventually cover my whole scalp.
