Laser comb- does it work?

[David H]

I just heard about the �380 laser comb that is meant to cause hair regrowth. As the medical profession have never endorsed it, unlike the Minoxidil I tried before it became commercial with no benefit, I'm wondering where the tests and evidence are considering not one trichologist seems to know of their existence and only recommend Minoxidil or Finasteride tablets which both have very poor results.

I doubt it would work, look at it like this, If their was a cure for baldness, the millionaires and celebs would be using it. but they are not, I suspect its just another "miracle" cure advertised for the purposes of getting you to part with money

dont believe the hype!

That's what gets me, the claims are huge but it would only take 6 months to test the darn thing by the national health and if it doesn't work they should ban the things and if not let the world know. Not just let shonky firms pretend you can burn your scalp back to health. Even minoxidil had tests and despite the poor performance makes millions every year.

David, Just let nature take its course, the day you accept you for what you are is the day you will become happier and more confident , Women find men with thinning hair much more trustworthy and short hair is cool , get advice from your hairdresser as what style would suit you, unless you can afford a elton john style set up , learn to live and love yourself for who you are .....

why on earth would the nhs trial a cure for baldness. I would have thought their money might be better spent trialing a cure for cancer or something like that!

[David H]

Thanks for the advice, I can live as I am but wonder about the technical side of this apparent innovation.

Bednobs, all I can say in reply is any country that can offer free sex change operations should manage a little thing like a laser treatment for hair.
But the main reason is the companies are under no legal obligation to show their products work (search me why) whereas the NHS do. So that would be the only way to guarantee the tests were done. Unless they are medical treatments they are sold outside any law providing they are safe to use.

sex change operations are not necassarily free on the nhs. Where i live you cant have it done because its not a priority
