update: my Purpose cleanser isn't working well enough to replicate the soreness I got right after shaving...I need to find a more effective way to remove dead skin cells and sebum pre-lasering. I'm considering bentonite clay from what i've been reading...any other suggestions? From what I've witness...

yeah if i've ever felt soreness, it was yesterday. I'm assuming the shaving helped exfoliate /clean my scalp in preparation for the lasering. I think until I grow back a little more stubble, I'm going to use the same Purpose cleanser that I use on my face for my scalp as well, in order to remove som...

man so i snapped and i shaved my head down to the skin...with a razor and everything. just finished a laser session. brain hurts, lol.

oooooooo

sign me up to be a test dummy, OMG!

I get very light soreness, so I could see if your new solution increases the effect.

oh also, for the record, lasers are the only treatment i've ever used for hair loss. I will be starting a strict diet as of tomorrow though (gonna start p90x). I have a feeling diet will help me with inflammation. especially since right now i have a buttload of dairy food even though almost all of m...

@laserkid - Yes, I used the precut template from Aixiz, but it's not actually foam. It's more of a rubbery mat (about the thickness of a table placemat). It was a little difficult to glue all the lasers into it, but I REALLY did not want to cut holes into foam again. Also, yes I think you could construct a helmet shape with relative ease.

@medstudent - my hair is okay i guess--I just finished week 1 of laser treatment so obviously I can't report anything from that. I need to figure out a way to manage my itch though...I'm pretty sure my scalp has been inflamed for quite some time / I might have some kind of dermatitis or scalp skin condition...I'll probably see a derm this week and have them take a look. I want to report updates on my laser treatment at the 3 month mark (early november). I did laser therapy before with a MUCH %&$! device that I made and I def saw some improvement @ the 2.5 month mark (that was the longest i did therapy).

@OMG - I will upload a a detailed picture of how I wired it, along with some notes drawn in so others can use it as a reference. It's suuuuper easy.

@jdp - Yes, tape shall come soon....i've been risking it w/o tape so far but I know thats not a great idea haha.

i am doing the nose thing right now and i am sneezing like no other!

this is hard hahah

Just got back from the derm and she said i have psorasis, and my entire scalp is inflamed. I suppose i ahve mpb too, but she said the psoraisis is making it worse. Do you guys think LLLT with my OMG helmet will help me at all with my hairloss anymore? im begining to lose hope, but am still using th...

Photo 11.jpg Photo 12.jpg I finally finished building my laser "helmet" version 2. It has 210 diodes and everything is secured with super glue. I even soldered the connections. I did my first treatment yesterday for 20 minutes x 2 zones with damp hair. I'll post up progress in this thread as time g...
