Why are there no comments (negative or positive) about the HairMax devices? I find it odd that the only one "available" is the one that looks like a big hairband. For those that use Hairmax how is it working for you? I am in month 4 and so far I do not see anything.

I started using hair lasers about ten years ago. For me it took well over 6 months to see any significant new growth and most growth in about a year. I'm now using a CapillusPro cap and it's been the best device so far.

@bargainsgirl

There are many older threads about Hairmax. Do a search and you'll see.

One thing I need to mention about hair growth lasers...

I've been at this laser treatment journey for a long time. Over the years I've read many testimonials, comments and reviews written about hair lasers in general. From that I noticed many people don't see new growth until several months of treatments have passed. I really think they (Hairmax) needs to change the 16-week-see-new-hair time frame to somewhere much longer than that, like 6 months. The 16 weeks time frame is just too short. Many if not most people don't see it happen in that short amount of time and they give it up. It gives false hope to people losing their hair. I know. Don't give up until at least 6 months have passed. 6 months is nothing compared to the many coming years that you will be using a hair laser. It's a lifetime commitment to keep hair on my head.

I'm interested in the new technology. I've been successfully using a HairMax hairband for two years and I love it. But the new technology intrigues me and I would buy a new hairband with the new tech, but it's not available and there's no discussion about it. I find that very strange...

@SchippyLuv

About the new tech? Is that the dual wavelength? Dual tech is not something new. There have been other brands using it for a while before HM got it.

I purchased the HairMax headband in Oct of last year on the Q when it was $349.00, I have been using it faithfully 3x's a week as instructed, I don't anticipate seeing any changes until after 6 months or so and hoping there is improvement going by the positive reviews I have read. The headband is so easy to use.

@SilleeMee

I know the technology has been around for years, but I want it incorporated into my HairMax Headband.

@SoCal Bred I, too, purchased my laser band in October. I have been using it 3 days a week, faithfully. I have not seen any results as of today.

@SilleeMee my derm suggested the REVIAN hair cap in conjunction with Nutrafol & minoxidil(only w/long term use commitment of course).

Revian apparently monitors hair growth for 6-months or your money back. Have you done any research or heard of this brand? Website does say derm recommended, so does nutrafol.

@curlygirl13 - Hopefully we'll see some results by Apr or June, that's the 6-8 months time frame that we should see some difference in hair growth.

I'm not familiar with Revian. I just took a look at their website and it looks good with dual-wavelengths.

@FLGators The derm I saw also recommended Nutrafol, Minoxidil and a shampoo. I had already been using an

OTC form of the shampoo and switched to the prescription as well as starting the Nutrafol. I really dont like the idea of using a drug like minoxidil, so I decided to not take it. In 2 months my nails started growing faster and by 3 months I could see more baby hairs around my temple area. So far I am pretty pleased with it and hoping it continues to improve. Also have been using the HM band that I gave to my daughter because she didnt like it. I'm going to look into that Revian.

I don't particularly like the idea of using minoxidil either or the dependency for life. Almost like an addiction. What OTC shampoo were you using @claros ?

The derm mentioned that the only thing he doesn't like about nutrafol is the biotin, doesn't do anything for hair growth. Yet, we have so many hair growth products on the market with biotin.

I purchased the Hairmax comb a few years back when it was a special and didn't see any results.

@FLGators So, my question would be which one of the ingredients in Nutrafol has been proven to grow hair?

Re: HairMax

SoCal Bred — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 18:57:55 GMT

My hairdresser had mentioned that another customer of hers tried Nutrafol and raved about her hair growth but the downfall was that hair was also growing in places she wasn't happy about. I guess you take the good with the bad sometimes.

@Icegoddess I have not done a whole lot of research but my inderstanding is that it is a comprehensive multivitamin. I have even heard Derms on YT say that a good prenatal can be a good dupe for Nutrafol.

I also think most Derms get a percentage (just like influencers) from the sale of Nutrafol and Revian coz they provide you with a partner link/code. Maybe I am just a skeptic, I could be wrong.

I am currently listening to Andrew Huberman's podcast on hair growth/treatments, etc trying to educate myself. As much as I love the hair on my head I don't want unwanted side effects.

SilleeMee — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 20:08:17 GMT

The best advice/education I got was from a hair growth specialist doctor who runs a hair restoration clinic here locally. Years ago I went there to find options for my hair loss. I learned some things I never knew before. I don't remember them selling or mentioning supps for hair growth. The only product I remember them selling was minoxidil. I do remember them saying that a healthy diet can help maintain healthy hair but it won't make new hair sprout from your scalp.

Re: HairMax

Icegoddess — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 20:25:00 GMT

@SilleeMee , as far as I know, Minoxidil is the only topical proven to grow hair. There's also Propecia aka Finasteride. It didn't work for my husband, but at the time women were advised not to even touch the pills. I think it is now being prescribed for women off-label at a lowered dose for hair loss.

Just about every hair supplement orally on the market contains Biotin, including Lessman.
