That was three months before I built my first laser helmet, by the way... we have GOT to work on forums getting REAL INFORMATION! lol... There is no way forums should have missed this back then -it should have been plastered on every one of them. I don't know if we have to send delegates or what to the next conference, but something needs to happen. I'll go... who wants to go with me?

What was done in the study was an actual BIOPSY of the hair follicles -you know, they cut them out and looked at them under microscopes. The typical hair follicle was analyzed for levels of inflammation.
Here is the "before" set close up:

...and here is the "after" set...

...which showed the typical result of a massive reduction of follicle inflammation, which resulted in a 20% improvement in density in hair for the patients. This, of course, lends support to the theory that inflammation is directly responsible for hair loss, and the one of the functioning mechanisms of lasers is to eliminate that inflammation.
So, there you go. This goes to show you that the forums -the old school way they USED to be run- were the LAST to know! lol...
