How do I use the HairMax LaserComb?
To turn on the HairMax LaserComb press the power button and then the laser button on the front of the unit. Next, place the LaserComb flat on your head using the two rows of teeth. Rather than constantly moving the HairMax LaserComb through your hair (as you would with a regular brush or comb), you will use what we like to call the glide method by placing the HairMax LaserComb on a specific spot on your head and gently gliding it back 1/2 inch each time the audible four-second beep occurs. Move from the front of your hairline to the back of your head and then repeat the process moving in the opposite direction. The glide method is the best way to ensure that the LaserComb will be as effective as possible for you. [Top]
How often do I need to use the HairMax LaserComb?
It is recommend that the HairMax LaserComb be used 3 times per week, 10-15 minutes per treatment for optimal results. [Top]
Can I use the HairMax LaserComb more to see faster results?
Three times a week seems to be the optimal amount of usage. Using the HairMax LaserComb more than three times a week has not been shown to accelerate the benefits. [Top]
How long will I need to continue treatment with the HairMax LaserComb?
Hair care treatment, as with the treatment of any condition, is an ongoing process. For this reason, it is imperative that, to keep seeing positive benefits from the HairMax LaserComb, you use it as indicated on a consistent basis. You can miss a day here and there and be alright, but all in all, if you do not use the product as recommended, there is a strong possibility that you will not see desirable results or you will regress to where you were prior to using the HairMax LaserComb. [Top]
When can I expect to start seeing results from the HairMax LaserComb?
User experience will vary. In general, there are three categories of user experience: 45% of users will see positive results after 8 weeks of treatment. Another 45% will see benefits from weeks 10-16. The last 10% of users will begin to see subtle improvements (if any) after 16 weeks. [Top]
Does it work on the entire head or only on the back?
The HairMax LaserComb may improve the appearance of the entire head: back, front, top and sides. [Top]
Can I use the HairMax LaserComb in conjunction with other treatments?
Yes, the HairMax LaserComb works well as both a stand alone treatment and in conjunction with other treatments. [Top]
I am just starting to thin, is it too soon to start?
It is never too soon to start. The better the initial condition of your hair, the better your results with the HairMax LaserComb can be. The HairMax LaserComb treatment should be incorporated into your daily preventative maintenance routine, much like brushing everyday to maintain healthy teeth and gums. [Top]
Can people of all ages benefit from using the HairMax LaserComb?
Studies have shown that laser phototherapy (LPT) is effective in people ages 18 and older. For people under the age of 18, we recommend you consult your physician prior to using the HairMax LaserComb. [Top]
Does the HairMax LaserComb work for women?
At this stage the HairMax LaserComb is only indicated for male use. A clinical study for use in females will be completed and submitted to the FDA for this indication in the near future. [Top]
Can I use the HairMax LaserComb if I have already had transplant surgery?
This practice is encouraged by an increasing amount of hair transplant surgeons worldwide. The HairMax LaserComb has been shown to decrease the recovery time in hair transplant patients, and also to increase the look of the transplanted hairs in a positive manner (making them appear thicker, fuller, and healthier). The teeth of the HairMax LaserComb are even removable making immediate use after surgery possible. [Top]
Does your hair need to be clean to use the HairMax LaserComb?
It is recommended that you use the HairMax LaserComb on a clean scalp so that the laser can effectively improve the appearance of your hair without being hindered by oils, dandruff, etc. The reason for this is to prevent product buildup from blocking the laser light. However, you can also address this by cleaning your LaserComb with a damp cloth before and after each use. [Top]
How often do you need to wash your hair when you use the LaserComb?
It is recommended that you wash your hair at least three times a week. This way the HairMax LaserComb can work effectively without the possible blockage which comes with having excessive oil buildup on the scalp or excessive dandruff. However, this is not imperative for the HairMax LaserComb to be effective; you can also address this by cleaning your LaserComb with a damp cloth before and after each use. [Top]
