Keep using it man!!! In my opinion this is definetely a great addition to a regimen. I am pleased with my own laser comb. They actually make this new one now. It is smaller but cheaper. They say that you have to use it longer per session because the actual size of the lasercomb is smaller therefore it covers less scalp.

Hi Sam

Are you using the Laser Comb after washing your hair leaving damp or drying it then using the comb. Or are you using it on a dry scalp, or a mixture of both.

Didn't the Inflamil take care of the inflammation etc?

I'd be interested in a laser device as long as I can just sit there and not have to run the darn thing thru my hair.

Jacob,

The inflamil did help a lot. Brought the inflammation down considerably. I stopped using it after the bottle ran out though. I see inflamil as a product to use when you need to get things from really bad to manageable. Once I stopped using it, the inflammation never got back to as bad is it had been for me prior to starting, but it did return to a degree nonetheless. The lasercomb has reduced this and kept things steady.

Regards,
Sam

I use the lasercomb after a shower and my hair is usually a little damp. They say that it is ok to use it when your hair is damp but not really damp or wet.

Sorry nicam666, missed your earlier post. I use the lasercomb after I shower and my hair is dry. What about yourself?

Hi Sam

One of my son's is using the larger laser comb every other day with mixture of dry hair use and damp afer washing and towel drying.
My other son is using the smaller new smaller Laser Comb after washing and towel drying. They are using Minox and both say that since starting to use the comb they have no itching. One has been using the comb 2 months the other less than a month. In both case there is less shedding and their hair is looking healthier. Early days yet. They are both trying a shampoo out that increase the blood flow to the scalp strongly. Have tried it myself, it certainly warms your scalp and makes it tingle. It is a natural therapy shampoo and FDA approved. It is marketed for thinning hair and stimulating regrowth. I cannot remember if the name has been mentioned on the website, but if you are interested I will post it.

Please let us know what shampoo you're talking about.

So out of curiousity, have you read somewhere that it makes some kind of difference with the lasercomb whether you use it on a wet or dry scalp?

Hey nicam666, does it takes a significant amount of time longer for your son who uses the smaller lasercomb to complete a laser session?

Not heard anything as to wether there is any gain on a wet scalp, only the scalp must be clean. I was using the larger comb on my son's head while his hair was pretty damp after washing and on a couple of occassions he complained it was hot. I was only holding it for 4 secs, it has the beep to tell the time is up. It happened around the same area on top of his scalp each time. He was not using the shampoo I mentioned so could not be associated with it. I have not been able to reproduce the hot feeling since and wondered if you had experienced anything similar. His hair was about 4 inches long and blond.

The smaller laser comb takes 5 minutes longer ie. Max of 20 minutes compared to max of 15 mins with the larger model. I think it has 5 lasers, so you cover less area per sweep.

The shampoo I mentioned is called Actigener Original Strong Shampoo. I bought it from the local Chemist.

Wow, that is really wierd that he felt burning from the lasercomb. I have never experienced that. Sam? Also, out of curiosity how old are your sons?

nicam666 · Post by **nicam666** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 9:48 am

Eldest is 32, youngest is 30. The youngest has more hair loss than the eldest. The eldest is disabled and I am his carer, that is why I was using the comb on him because he is unable to use it himself. I was just wondering if natural Blond damp hair had any effect on the laser. Light coloured hair which is wet would be more reflective on the beam. Could 2 beams of laser light be reflected on to one spot. Just a theory.I would not say it was burning, there were no signs of that, it was just uncomfortable. I am not dwelling on the incident. Looking forward to the results.

I haven't heard or read anything about light colored hair being more reflective with the laser but I guess anything is possible. You could send an email to the people at Hairmax and ask them to see what they say.

Yeah, that sounds a bit strange, although anything's possible. I know that in some cases, for instance with certain antibiotics, you're supposed to avoid excessive sunlight while on them or there can be a reaction.... So I suppose even light can cause side-effects for some people.

As blueshard suggests, you should contact the Lexington folks to see what they have to say about it. My guess is it may have been placebo, but you never know.
