Much of the recent buzz around the fight against hair loss centers on the FDA approved laser hair treatment manufactured by Lexington, called the HairMax LaserComb
. Many observers lauded the hand-held laser hair therapy as an advancement that benefits millions of men suffering from male pattern baldness. One proponent, Bill Blatter, president of the Hair Loss Control Clinic in Latham, New York, was quoted in the Times Union stating that "[t]he biggest problem in the hair-loss industry is credibility. Most people have been ripped off. Now, they know the laser works. It gives them a comfort zone that there is a product approved by the FDA."
Still, there were also skeptics of varying degrees who reasonably (some unreasonably) criticized the laser hair comb. Much of the skepticism seem to come from past experiences with products that claim to grow hair fast. Below are the articles I could find online that are critical of the latest scalp stimulator. I compiled what I can so that visitors of this site may receive a more complete picture of the laser comb review:
Adam Frucci and SCI FI Tech awarded HairMax LaserComb the top honor for Top 10 Wildest, Wackiest Gadgets from the Back of Magazines. Mr. Frucci went on to write, "I'm still beyond skeptical, but if you feel like using lasers to comb your hair and don't think $545 is too much to waste on such a questionable product, now you've got the FDA to blame in addition to yourself for your idiotic purchasing choices."
In an article for Earthtimes.org, Dr. Marc Avram was quoted, "It is a new therapy that is not a magical cure unfortunately, but for some patients, it will be helpful to help maintain or re-grow some hair.”
From KARE 11, a local TV station in Minnesota, their article indicated that "Experts say the device is not as effective as Rogaine or Propecia, the two medications approved to treat hair loss."
Steve Tiley of Edmontonsun.com released a very skeptical article. He wrote, "For real? A laser comb that grows hair? All these shampoos and natural remedies and scalp massagers have been proven bogus, but blasting your head with frickin' laser beams - if you'll pardon the way-obvious Dr. Evil reference - gets a pass?" He then went on to say that "all these pills and procedures and products seem like so much effort and expense to save something that, for a lot of us guys, is gonna disappear eventually no matter what we do."
In Wired Blog Network, their article's title speaks for their opinion, "The Lasercomb Restores Hair but Not Dignity", and refers to users of the LaserComb as "embarassed baldies."
