With LLLT devices for hair loss, diode spacing is CRUCIAL. You want to minimize gaps and overlaps to get more of the scalp into the "window of energy" for the best results possible!
This is a template to help you determine how many diodes you need to make your own DIY laser device for hair loss (or to help you better determine how many diodes you need on the laser helmet that I make -the Laser Messiah II!).
One of my worktables, and seeing this reminds me that I'm going to have to refinish it one day soon!
This HURT every hair loss sufferer. Why?? Because LLLT is a fantastic treatment for hair loss, but this comb was overpriced, less-than-spectacular, and turned people off of a great treatment (when done RIGHT, like with my Laser Messiah II!).
Believe it or not, I was asked once, "Well, don't you think you OWE HairMax for bringing awareness to laser therapy??" What?! NO. I BLAME THEM for keeping laser therapy out of my regimen for a decade!
No minoxidil (which is TERRIBLE anyway, and if you ever are thinking about starting minox, please email me!!!), no finasteride, and no hair style changes -just RESULTS with laser therapy! Oh, and it's not done by a mass-marketed device, either -it's done with a professional strength laser clinic device!
Yet... this treatment is still largely ignored! Why?? ...because of the INFERIOR DEVICES out there on the market! Vote "Laser Messiah"!
Don't fall for it... just like anything else, you have to keep doing it to keep the benefits!
"Hey", said the Laser Clinic advertisement, "Don't worry about it... you only have to do this treatment for six months/one year/whatever our most profitable time period is, and then you can only do maintenance treatments every blue moon after that!" [...said NO SCIENCE EVER.]
Well... I wouldn't say they are "evil", ha ha... but I would say that it's a sales pitch. Now, the $700 mass-marketed devices with a tiny amount of diodes are indeed EVIL, though!
Treatment with LLLT over one year increased scalp hair as determined by scalp hair counts, patient self-assessment, investigator assessment, and global photographic assessment, when compared with placebo. Long-term treatment was generally well tolerated, and the results of these studies demonstrate that LLLT leads to durable improvements in hair growth in men with MPHL and women with FPHL and slows the further progression of hair loss that occurs without treatment.
Laser Therapy massively helps would healing: The results show that the correct energy density or fluence (J/cm(2)) and number of exposures can stimulate cellular responses of wounded fibroblasts and promote cell migration and cell proliferation by stimulating mitochondrial activity and maintaining viability without causing additional stress or damage to the wounded cells. Results indicate that the cumulative effect of lower doses (2.5 or 5 J/cm(2)) determines the stimulatory effect, while multiple exposures at higher doses (16 J/cm(2)) result in an inhibitory effect with more damage.
This study was brought to my attention by S Foote from www.HairlossTalk.com. He has a very interesting theory that lymphedema of the MPB area caused by androgens plays a role in hair loss, and this may be one of the mechanisms behind success.
LLLT/Laser Therapy hass been shown to have positive bio-stimulation effects on living organisms both in vitro and in vivo. Enhanced histamine release in RBL-2H3 mast cells in vitro takes place after laser irradiation. Because of the multi-functions of histamine, such as vasodilation, increased vessel permeability, increased endothelial cell proliferation and nervous stimulation (13-17), and of the fact that mast cells exist in skin tissue in large extents and accumulate at the site of the wound, histamine release from mast cells is probably one of the reasons for the effect of laser irradiation on promoting wound healing.
"They induce collagen remodeling at the ultrastructural level and increase collagen production". This is IMPORTANT for what we are trying to accomplish!

The reason why you don't know a thing about Lasers for Hair Loss, or the differences between "laser combs" vs. "laser helmets", why LLLT *still* gets routinely dismissed in forums, and why everyone -including you- hasn't been doing this for YEARS.
Seriously, you should be ANGRY!
Welcome to the "Hair Loss Industy", where obfuscation for financial gain rules supreme.
...And by "Strong Enough", I mean it won't give the properly energy level to enough of your scalp for PRO RESULTS!
It's all about COVERAGE --getting enough diodes over "pieces of scalp" at the proper energy level!!! Makes total sense, right?? Then why do you think 21 or so diodes would be enough to cover the whole scalp!!!
I accept partial responsibility for this --I must reach more people!!! I will double my efforts being that the currently most common mass-marketed device out there only has TWENTY-ONE laser diodes!!! The price for that? Something like $700! Double that cost will get you not 42 diodes, but FOUR HUNDRED with a Laser Messiah. I can't stress enough that this is not a trick!
It's easy to get lost when you are talking about LLLT! Reading this article will help you understand the BASIC TERMINOLOGY so you can better understand what we are talking about --and enable you to better HELP YOURSELF!!!
This was the lead article on my OMG site for YEARS! ...It's as important now as it was then!!!
All laser therapy is NOT created equal! Chances are: 1) You paid/are going to pay too much for your laser device
...or... 2) Your laser device isn't/won't be strong enough to give the energy for professional results!
...or BOTH!!!

Absolutely unsurpassed coverage and performance --PERIOD.
People are more conscious about health effects the "unseen" waves around them -particularly EMF radiation and Wi-Fi. So, all those laser diodes up on your head must be generating a lot of electromagnetic fields, right??
WRONG! The brunt of EMF radiation is generated at the POWER SUPPLY! Don't wear the power supply on your head and you are fine!
Don't wear the power supply on your head, and you'll be fine! :)
Think L.E.D.s are as good as laser therapy/LLLT for Hair Loss? DEAD WRONG. L.E.D.'s are indeed useful for skin and health -and probably show some merit against hair loss- however, it is *not* the same thing as explained in my blog entry.
It takes REAL LASERS to make a profound impact on hair loss for several very real reasons explained in this article!
"Whenever LED and lasers have been compared in studies (13 studies found), laser has come out on top." Jan Turner @ www.laser.nu
The TIME you use it each session depends on the device --I know EXACTLY how long to use the Laser Messiah II. ...But how many TIMES A WEEK is a little bit more flexible!
Here are the guidelines and the more recent conclusions that I've come to based on hearing from hundreds and hundreds of my customers (and my own experiences!).
Please note that I'm talking about REAL laser therapy device --professional ones, my Laser Messiah II, etc.! Not the mass-marketed CRAP out there!

This was my original article from 2009 announcing that I was making the Laser Messiah II! This has great comparisons between the Laser Messiah I (the one you build with the free instructions) vs. the Laser Messiah II (the one I build, and the greatest laser helmet for hair loss that has ever been created!).
Check it out!!!
This is the helmet that totally BLEW AWAY the Laser Therapy Industry! To this day, there is still NOTHING that compares!!!
This is going to be THE. HOTTEST. SECTION. on this site! It's the section that you will come back to and check often!
My helmet is the best, but there are things you can do to make the best EVEN BETTER. I've been giving these to my customers for years via email (and you can email me for them if you are a customer and don't have a copy!), but it's time to make public multi-media presentations for them!
Enjoy this picture while it's up, ha ha --it'll go away when I have the section finished! :)
This is the place for cutting edge, natural solutions for hair loss --and it has a great forum! Home of the Ortho-Nutritional Supplement Line (formerly know as the "Top Six"), which is a great supplement addition for LLLT users!
When you pulse laser light at an extremely high rate, it causes MORE of a biological response/stimulation than would ordinarily occur. Certain frequencies do this better than others, and the main one that people associate with fighting hair loss is 8.9 khz. John Steele created one that can do this for helmets up to 450 diodes --and this is a BIG DEAL and has never been done before!!!
