About the HairMax

The HairMax LaserComb™ is 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.

The LaserComb is an Economical Way to have Thicker, Fuller Hair.

The HairMax LaserComb is a rugged, precision built instrument with a laser module that has an estimated life of 5000-15,000 hours. By using the LaserComb 10 to 20 minutes per week, realistic lifespan is 10 years or more. With proper use and care, the LaserComb should last a lifetime. Compare the one-time cost of a LaserComb to ongoing costs for other hair treatments and you'll see how the LaserComb is much more economical over the years.

How HairMax Works.

The HairMax LaserComb sends nourishing laser light energy into your hair to revitalize it and improve its condition. Your hair will thicken, strengthen and become healthier with better quality. It's that simple! The end result is that your hair will flourish and you may start to like your hair again!

Regular usage of the HairMax LaserComb is recommended. Just pass the HairMax LaserComb slowly over your scalp for 10-15 minutes, twice a week.

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 1-6:	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.
As Early as Week 8:	Consistent with our clinical data, 45% of users start seeing noticeable hair growth in as early as 8 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 8-12:	During this period another 45% of our users start to experience the full benefits of using the HairMax. A cessation of hair loss, marked new growth and all of the benefits as described in the previous section.
Post 12 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

Laser light therapy.

Science has shown that all living things 'like" light. Your hair is no different. Laser Phototherapy progressively improves the quality, strength and thickness of your hair over time. Indeed, international experiences and studies of the results of Laser Phototherapy go far beyond those that are described here.

Results will vary from person to person, but you should notice early general improvements and activation of your hair within the first 6 to 12 weeks. These improvements include a normalizing of scalp condition as well as shinier and thicker hair. Gradually over the next few months, you should notice your hair becoming fuller, stronger and denser.

Also, as your hair becomes healthier, you may notice less dandruff and scalp irritation. Over time, all users - men and women alike - usually notice progressively increasing benefits as they use their HairMax LaserComb. Conversely, once the usage stops, our experience is that hair and scalp conditions regress back to their original state.

Both nationally and internationally, there is a great amount of enthusiasm for the potential regarding laser phototherapy for hair. The LaserComb is currently undergoing scientific clinical studies from which data is being presented to the FDA for additional claims. We have great confidence for the success of the trial.

High Powered Medical Lasers compared to Low Level 'Photo' Lasers.

There are two types of lasers. High-powered lasers are used in science and medicine. They generate heat that can be used in surgery and scientific research. Phototherapeutic Lasers use light energy and do not give off heat. They work by light therapy and do not have any adverse side effects.

Do not be confused with laser for hair removal. This involves high-powered lasers which kill the hair root.

Published Results of Laser Treatments for Hair.

We encourage you to read more on the practical experiences of Low-Level Laser and Laser therapy for hair. Over 2,500 papers have been published on the positive scientific studies of Low-Level Laser Therapy. Please search on the Internet to learn more about this exciting laser technology.

Directions

Read all enclosed instructions carefully before use.

The LaserComb should be used on a "clean scalp" after shampooing either slightly wet or dried. It should be used before applying any other topical treatments, gels or sprays.

Insert the power attachment into the LaserComb.
Plug in the wall adaptor.
Turn on the LaserComb by first switching on the "Power" button and the "Laser" button.
Place the LaserComb flat on your scalp using the 2 rows of teeth.
Move the LaserComb using a "Step" method by placing the LaserComb on a spot and leaving it there for 4 seconds then moving it 1/2 inch to the next spot (mentally counting "one thousand, two thousand, etc." should help with timing).
Comb against the direction of the hair growth. With long hair, use an ordinary comb to lift the hair in advance of the LaserComb.
Make 2 complete passes with the LaserComb over the whole scalp area in the manner described above.
After treatment turn off both buttons and remove the wall plug.

Notes:

The total time it should take will range between 5-15 minutes.
It is essential to move the LaserComb very slowly because if you move it too fast, the treatment will not be as effective.
Do not overuse the LaserComb, as additional usage may be actually less effective (as the scalp becomes "too used to the treatment").

Save all instructions.
