Jdp710’s Tennis Visor LLLT Device for Hair Loss -by Jdp710!
Jdp710's UBER SIMPLE design to help "get your foot in the door" of laser therapy! This was super cheap to make, and probably leaps and bounds more effective than most mass-marketed devices out there! Why? ...Because of COVERAGE!

Here's my design that I used for roughly 4 1/2 months that I got very good results with. What I did is I used 68 diodes in gutter guard material and I would rotate it 3 times just like OMG's first laser helmet.
The pictures are very self explanatory and there isn't any secret to the design at all. But I will describe in detail how I made it anyway.
The main materials you'll need to complete this is a tennis visor, the actual gutter guard material found at Home Depot, velcro and either styrofoam or maybe foamies. If you don't have access to a Home Depot, I don't see any reason why a 6 mm foamie wouldn't be a suitable substitute for the gutter guard material.
To make, all you have to do is glue some velcro around the entire sides of a tennis visor. And then you attach the other side of the velcro to the actual gutter guard material on each side. When I originally made it, I attached it to the middle of each side of the gutter guard. If I had to do it over again though, I would attach the velcro to the four corners of the gutter guard to help make it more stable. Don't get me wrong. It was very stable before attached to the tennis visor, but there was a little movement. If I attached it at all four corners I'm sure there wouldn't be any movement.
The final part is to cut and glue the styrofoam to the gutter guard material. The reason for the styrofoam is keep the laser diodes about 2 cm from my scalp. You can also use foamies instead, but in reality any suitably "soft" material, that won't buckle under weight will do. The styrofoam is a actually several pieces of styrofoam glued together until I found the lasers were 2 cm to my scalp. If you're curious the styrofoam is actually 2 3/4 - 3 cm thick. What you'll want to keep in mind too is if the inside diameter of the styrofoam box is wider than mine, you'll need to make the styrofoam box thicker. For example, if you are going to use 80 lasers in the gutter guard than obviously the inside diameter of the styrofoam box will be larger thus the box will be something like 4 cm thick. I don't know the exact thickness but 4 cm would be my best guess. You really just have to keep adding pieces of styrofoam, or whatever suitable material you're using, and keep measuring until the laser diodes are about 2 cm from your scalp.
One last thing I wanted to comment on is that this can actually look a lot better than how I made it. For example, you don't need nearly as much velcro hanging from the gutter guard as I had ... I was just lazy and never got around to cutting it. Also, if I had a more stylish tennis visor it would a lot better as well. And one last thing that I never got around to was I eventually wanted to enclose the gutter guard with all the laser diodes inside a 1/8" thick plastic box with foamies on the bottom of it. That way, you wouldn't have to look at all the exposed wiring and it would look very professional.
Oh, BTW, if you're curious the "only" reason why I'm no longer using this design is because I wanted a full coverage laser helmet with over 200 lasers. One day, I may actually rebuild this so I can travel with it as I did get "very" good results with quite a bit of regrowth too. That's how much I like the simplicity and the performance of this design. And yes, I did get sore with this design if you're curious.
In this picture I would be treating my crown.
Here's a pic on how it would treat one of the sides of my head.
