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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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.
