HairMax LaserComb Technology (PhotoTherapy For Photogenic Hair)

In order to reverse or stop the progression of hair loss in males*, the entire hair-growing environment is stimulated by the unique characteristics of laser energy provided by the HairMax LaserComb. The HairMax LaserComb produces nine laser beams which generate columnated, coherent visible light in the red spectrum. Laser light in the red spectrum and with the appropriate power output has been clinically proven to be beneficial for cutaneous medicine. In addition, the HairMax LaserComb has a patented hair parting mechanism. This combined with the precise alignment of the hair parting teeth to the individual laser beams provides a true direct path for the laser light to effectively bathe the scalp.

ATP – Nature’s Energy Store

All living things, plants and animals alike, require a continual supply of energy in order to function. This energy is used for all of the processes which keep the organism alive. Some of these processes occur continually, such as the metabolism of food, the synthesis of large biologically important molecules, e.g. proteins and DNA, and the transport of molecules and ions throughout the organism.

Scientific studies have been performed showing that increases in the amount of the biological molecule adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, causes the individual cells to increase their activity. ATP is integral to the function of the cell as an “energy transporter”. It is postulated that laser light energy can be collected in the mitochondria of the cell which then transfers this energy to produce ATP. This process is similar to photosynthesis which causes growth in plants.

ATP works by releasing the endmost phosphate group when instructed to do so by an enzyme. This reaction releases a large amount of energy, which the organism can then use to build proteins and other cell functions.


ATP and Laser Light Stimulation

Other studies using specific wavelengths of certain lasers show increased activity in cell and bacterial cultures, probably the result of ATP production.

Laser light bathing the hair and follicles

The HairMax LaserComb provides stimulating laser energy in what we believe is a two fold approach to energize the weakened follicle. The hypothesis behind the HairMax LaserComb’s success combines increased vascularization and an increase in cellular metabolism. Laser energy has been demonstrated to increase the blood flow and circulation in the scalp. This increase in blood flow is crucial to promoting a healthy hair follicle. The increase in blood flow brings the important nutrients into the follicle, while taking away harmful waste products such as DHT. The increase in ATP as described in earlier paragraphs, increases cellular metabolism and cellular activity. The hair follicle now has the building blocks and energy to transform from a weakened follicle to one that is healthy and capable of producing beautiful, thick healthy hair. The enhanced environment then in turn invigorates the hair follicle which produces healthier hair, prevents further hair loss and stimulates the re-growth of hair.

Hairmax Laser Combo (What Can I Expect? A Typical User Experience)

What Can I Expect? A Typical User Experience
If you are losing your hair, we know you want a convenient, cost-effective solution that will deliver real results real fast. When used as directed, over 90% of HairMax users notice positive benefits starting in as little as 8 weeks. These results include: increased hair growth, cessation of hair loss, faster growing hair, more manageability and more vibrant color.

It is believed that the HairMax is an anagen inductor promoting healthy anagen (terminal) hair growth. Hair grows in cycles, Anagen - the active growth phase, Catagen - the resting phase and Telogen - the shedding phase. At any given time, 10-20% of your hair is in the Catagen or Telogen phase waiting to be shed and replaced by an active Anagen hair (similar to the way a baby tooth is pushed out by a permanent tooth).

The HairMax stimulates the scalp and energizes follicles in the Catagen or Telogen phase causing a new Anagen hair to be formed. These new Anagen hairs cause the old Catagen and Telogen hairs to shed now as opposed to being shed at a later time. This increase in Anagen hair activity results in a slight increase in shedding and should not be a cause for concern. The hairs being shed during this time are being replaced by new healthier stronger hairs. Supporting this hypothesis are user reports of increased hair shedding during the onset of treatment. This is a positive sign and, in-line with the Anagen induction hypothesis, indicates that hairs in the Catagen and Telogen phases are being stimulated to fall out of the scalp only to be replaced by healthier, thicker hair.

If you are noticing an increase in fallout during the early phases of your treatment, this is one of the most positive indicators that the HairMax is working for you.

Below is a breakdown of how a typical male user responds to treatments with the HairMax.

Weeks
1-8:

As early as the first treatment, users report that their hair feels more lively, is more manageable and that their scalp feels healthier. Having “better hair days,” noticing more vibrant shine, having less scalp itch and experiencing significantly decreased hair fallout are just a few of the immediate benefits of using the HairMax. Ultimately you should see some early indicators that your hair and follicles are responding to the laser.

As Early as Week
8-12:

Consistent with our clinical data, 45% of users start seeing noticeable hair growth in a few weeks. It may start with small “peach fuzz” like hairs sprouting from the scalp, and may also include a general thickening of the hair you have. Additionally, improved manageability, increased shine is a strong indicator that the HairMax is working for you.

Weeks
12 -20:

During this period another 45% of our users start to experience the full benefits of using the HairMax. A reduction of hair loss, marked new growth and all of the benefits as described in the previous section.

Post 20
Weeks:

Most users of the HairMax experience the benefits within the first 12 weeks. It is not uncommon for some users to require more than 12 weeks to experience the full benefits. Please remember, it is difficult to see hair growth on the top of your head. We recommend having a relative or hair dresser look into your scalp to recognize the new hair growth, It is important to note, though, that sometimes perceived benefits do not parallel actual benefits. While you may not experience dramatic improvements that are easily noticeable, little indicators, such as increased shine and manageability or an overall feeing of better scalp health, are signs that the HairMax is having a positive effect on your hair.

Our clinical studies and historical experience demonstrate that a HairMax user should see an average of 20% new hair growth. This is statistically significant but just as important to the 20% new hair growth, most users experience a reduction in shedding. This reduction in shedding is extremely significant. If left untreated, your hair loss would have continued and in six months to one year, your hair loss could look considerably worse. Using the HairMax to stabilize your loss will help to maintain your existing hair and retard the progression of pattern baldness.

If you don’t see results between 12 and 20 weeks, we encourage you to continue using the HairMax on a regular basis. Many of our users report that even in this time frame, with continued use, they slowly start to notice a thickening of their hair, and even show signs of re-growth.

HairMax LaserComb Technology:

Introduction: A Breakthrough in Hair Growth, Hair Care and Hair Science

Some say it is the hair that makes the man; it’s been called our crowning glory and defines our style, framing our personal presentation. Sometimes we even joke about it, but for the many people whose hair is thinning, hair loss is no laughing matter. Thanks to new technology breakthroughs in hair loss treatments, proven solutions for men are quickly advancing and being made available worldwide.

Many men deal with hair loss by spending thousands of dollars and countless hours on drugs, messy topicals and so-called miracle supplements. Some of these treatments require prescriptions or can have unwanted adverse effects and require ongoing costs. Even worse yet, all of this effort is sometimes in vain: many of these products do little if anything to help the problem, leaving many users feeling hopeless in their fight against hair loss or thinning hair. Thanks to the HairMax laser hair treatment, though, it no longer has to be this way. HairMax now offers a cost effective safe and convenient option for hair loss: a proven solution that is shown to be effective in 90% of users.

Perhaps you feel diminishing attractiveness and dwindling confidence due to your hair loss. If so, there is a light at the end of the tunnel in your battle against Androgenetic Alopecia. The HairMax LaserComb® laser hair treatment has revolutionized the massive hair care industry, and has made baldness a choice rather than an unavoidable reality.

Introducing The HairMax LaserComb®

Finally, there is a clinically proven solution, FDA Cleared for marketing to fight your hair loss. After rigorous clinical testing, the HairMax LaserComb® has been proven effective in over 90% of users. It is also safe, having been shown to cause no unwanted side effects and is free from on-going costs. The end result: our medically significant clinical data and our recent FDA clearance to market for our laser hair treatment solidifies the HairMax as a true revolution in the hair care industry.

Treatment Objectives

Similar to the process of photosynthesis, the Laser Light of the HairMax effectively stimulates the hair follicle causing increased density, increased rate of growth, and an overall normalization of the scalp. The HairMax LaserComb is the easiest, most effective way to reverse thinning hair. The objective of Laser Phototherapy, as delivered through the HairMax LaserComb, can be summarized through the following descriptions:


Laser Hair Therapy, Hair Loss Treatment, Laser Hair Regrowth, Hair Growth Laser Laser Hair Therapy, Hair Loss Treatment, Laser Hair Regrowth, Hair Growth Laser

A. Live root growing a hair.
HairMax provides energy for healthier hair follicle stimulating more rapid hair growth.

B. Live root in resting or shedding phase.
HairMax stimulates root to produce a new healthier hair follicle.

C. Weakening root with a miniaturized Vellus hair.
HairMax stimulates growth of thicker, healthy hair and helps to reverse the process of miniaturization.

D. Dead root. Beyond revitalization.

A. In the “Growth Phase” or “Anagen Phase”, each hair grows approximately one centimeter (1/2 inch) per month for a period of 2 to 8 years. The HairMax LaserComb helps by providing energy to the hair growth process thus producing healthier, fuller hair.

B. In the “Resting Phase” or “Telogen Phase”, the hair stops growing and ‘rests’ for 2 to 4 months and eventually falls out. The HairMax helps by stimulating re-growth of new hair.

C. Termed “Vellus Hair” (light colored, short, fine "peach fuzz” hairs), the HairMax helps these fine hairs by stimulating them to grow into thicker, more mature hair.

D. The root is dead and cannot be helped.

It is postulated by Lexington that the HairMax LaserComb® may stop or reverse the cycle of miniaturization by stimulating the follicle and encouraging the production of living cells in the hair root that eventually make up the hair shaft.

Studies on the effects of Laser Photo-Therapy have shown an increase in Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the fuel of the cell. An increase in ATP provides the necessary higher energy level in the hair follicle to overcome the adverse affects of DHT. In addition, Laser Photo-Therapy hair treatment has shown to increase blood flow to the capillaries of the hair root, delivering more nutrients to the living cells that create the hair shaft.

Real Users, Real Data and a Proven Hair Loss Solution

Since 2000, the HairMax LaserComb® has been delivering results to men worldwide suffering from hair loss. * During this time our users and our clinical data have confirmed that the HairMax LaserComb® is effective in not only stopping hair loss*, but also a proven solution in re-growing lost hair and improving overall scalp health.

For over two decades, Laser PhotoTherapy hair treatment or “Low Level Laser Therapy” (LLLT) has been used in hair salons and clinics around the world with great success. The problem, though, is that these treatments are costly and require ongoing clinical visits. With the HairMax, what was once an “exclusive” treatment is now an affordable, convenient, proven solution for re-growing your hair.*

Our landmark multi center, sham-controlled clinical study completed in 2006 showed that 93% of all users experienced hair re-growth and better hair condition. The results of the key clinical study performed with the HairMax LaserComb which led to FDA clearance to market was published in the May 2009 Issue of Clinical Drug Investigation. The article entitled, HairMax LaserComb Phototherapy Device in the Treatment of Male Androgenetic Alopecia, is indexed as Clin Drug Invest 2009: 29 (5): 283-292 in most of the biomedical databases such as MEDLINE, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, etc. It also showed that users reported no unwanted adverse effects and users can start seeing results in as early as 8 weeks.

Our clinical data coupled with our user satisfaction rate of over 90% is among the best in the hair-care industry and is proof that you too can achieve exciting, visible results with the HairMax LaserComb's proven laser hair treatment solution.
