Did it ever occur to y’all the Dr might have a condition that causes 1 of those types of hair loss before u made ur asinine disrespectful comments? If u were smart, you’d see ur Dr FIRST to get blood work so you’d know if u have a type of hair loss these devices were designed for, BEFORE u foolishly purchased 1 then inaccurately claimed it didn’t work, when in reality it didn’t work due to your cluelessness.

I had considered getting this device, but thanks to this video, I realize that it would probably not be helpful to me as an African-American. Thank you, Dr. Linkov, for this vital information; I would have wasted money needlessly.
Thank you so much for making this series! Your videos are amazingly fact based and informative, I’m very grateful for you to be sharing this with us. Will you be doing one on female pattern hair loss (AGA in women)? You rock!!!
@@mikeross111 I think that's why the industry is so huge and there are so many studies done on a yearly basis. I wouldn't be surprised if it was bigger than trying to find a cure for cancer.

I work as a laser technician in a hair removal clinic and I noticed when I work with low power on patients they come back for the next session saying the hair grew even more than before the treatment 😳 Now I know why 😶
@@apacur We define the power of the machine for each patient according to the diagnosis of skin tone and hair color. When our diagnosis is incorrect (or when we feel sorry for the patients) sometimes the chosen work intensities are too low for the patient and the result is what is said above ☝🏽
Thanks for your unbiased information and recommendation. You mention that you recommend in 2021 the Capillus laser therapy cap. For design, treatment time and available strong data. But back then there was no clear winner. Now we are May 2023, do you have differnt recommendations now? Especially when it comes to efficacy, also skintype V (mine) as you mentioned up till then it's only for I-IV. (Nd-YAG lasers are suitable for dark en and very dark skin having also infra red in it). Would it be possible to do an up to date review on this topic please? 🙏🏽
The $3000.00 Capillus cap was a huge disappointment for me. The charger kept breaking and eventually the laser went out after having it approximately one year. Contacting the main source or office and talking to someone in authority was impossible and all they did was offer a fee to replace the cap with a less expensive cap costing $700.00 . eventually I found a branch or Extentions of a branch and sent it back registered mail, without ever hearing from the Capillus again. Hummmm
I bought a Platinum LED red light lamp for some neuropathy I had. My chiropractor recommended it. Since I had it anyway I figured I would try it for my hair loss. From what I’ve heard, red light only restores 35% more hair. It doesn’t bring everything back. I would say this is true for my experience. Did it bring everything back? No. However my hair is thicker now than it was 2 years ago. My hair is the thickest it’s been in the last 15 years or so. You can still tell I have thinning hair but it has improved substantially. Less of my scalp is visible than it was before and my ponytail is noticeably thicker. Hair barrettes that used to slip out of my hair now remain firmly in place, in fact my hair is now almost too thick to use them. My hair fall has substantially decreased as well. I have also heard that minoxidil only works for less than half of the people that try it. I’ve tried it twice and didn’t see much if any improvement. More recently, I have made a point of eating more animal based protein and now my hair fall has plummeted even more. Hair loss is such a complex problem with so many different causes. There’s so much trial and error involved in figuring out what works best for you.
But this makes no sense to me because even sunlight exposes your head to more red/infrared light than these helmets. So does that mean going out into the sun improves your hair density? or does the UV light or other wavelengths from the sunlight counter-act this effect?
Very true. I was just thinking about how sun probably does help hair growth. I think a huge reason my hair got more dense was from making a point to go outside daily- but I don’t have hair loss. I wonder if the helmet just being close and pulsing has the most to do with it?
@@yoshtg Distance doesn't increase wavelength, speed increases wavelength (assuming the emitter is moving away from the detector). Although, when talking about EM spectrum that mainly just applies to astronomical observations.
These caps are astronomically expensive for the kind of treatment they deliver, when the same can be achieved at a tiny fraction of the cost using over the counter RLT bulbs. Don't place too much value on the "FDA cleared" claim, as it is rather easy to attain with the right amount of money handed over, given the 510K process is very expensive. RLT treatment mechanisms between a large bulb vs an array of "medical grade" LEDs essentially the same. Whether it is in the form factor of a baseball cap vs just a bulb pointed towards yoru head makes very little difference when you understand how RLT works. It is incredibly effective at penetrating deep into the skin, so you do not need to have the light so precisely targeted. Anyway if you want to give it a shot without spending the astronomical asking price of a Capillus cap, buy yourself a couple of $40 RLT bulbs and some cheap clamp lamps give it a shot.
its the distance from the scalp and how light intensity reduces from distance probably but I appreciate the tip, do u know any studies done laser caps vs RLT bulb?
i thought this vid was gonna be about laser hair removal! that's so interesting that the same tool (laser) can both remove and restore hair depending on the dosage!
I was getting laser hair removal with a YAG (I have dark skin). The setting worked well for my legs but it stimulated growth (not intended) on my chest at that same level which was disturbing.
Ok I know this is probably a really dumb question but I have to ask it, especially when words like 'radiation' are being thrown around - are there any long-term concerns with something like this? Blasting your scalp with light/radiation multiple times a day for the rest of your life has me worried about things like cancer. I'm probably very wrong, I know certain wavelengths can be dangerous and I'm sure this is well within safe limits, but I just need that reassurance.
I used irestore for about 15 months. Results were minimal and the reason I stopped using it after 15 months is because it became nonfunctional- the lights didn't come on anymore. No loose wires or change in how it was used. But out of warranty time so basically I now have a useless $1200 helmet. I took photos once a month to track progress or lack of it. The only benefit I saw was my hair grew longer faster than usual but did NOT grow thicker hair or more dense hair.
@@floridadude777 well I used it as directed. I suspect it doesn't work well without something like minoxidil. Maybe it enhances a secondary treatment?? On it's own I had very little result. Haven't heard of the other brand you mentioned. I'll look it up.
As of 8/19/2021, the iRestore Professional standard manufacturing warranty was updated from 1-year to 2-year. Though it did not work for me. I have used it for 10 months. I am returning to get partial refund.
I have been using a HairMax lasercomb for nearly seven years recommended by my dermatologist. I have fine hair and full long pieces were falling out. I now have a new head of hair! My new hair growth is Curly! I still have a lot of hair falling out apparently due to a follicular issue, but at least I have new hair growing back in!
Dr.linkov you should be teaching in med school too as academic perspective , I wish you were my plastic surgery teacher or ETN , I know the morning visits of patients would be so educative and honestly so fun with u, you know in medical school sometime not always but sometimes there were doctors whom med students never want to present in class LOL:D but there are some dr that always their classrooms were full of students I honestly believe that your classroom would be like the second type and I wish you were in my school during my med school education ,but I hope some day we can work together on plastic and rec cases about the video amazing job as always
Excellent review, very well presented! I am puzzled however, after hearing the Doctor suggest that a ‘pulsing’ lazer cap is likely be more effective than a ‘continuous’ laser cap ..then why did he recommed the Capillus Pro272, cap which is stated to have a ‘continuous’ laser operation?
@@appletrades I wish I can offer a meaningful answer. At the time I started in December 2021, I was on a horrible med (accutane) for my acne which affects hair growth, I finished the meds mid March, and in June I thought my hair had gotten much better. But I don't know, is it because I stopped accutane or because of the laser cap! I took more videos that I need to review in 6 months. That would be a fair assessment of the laser cap
Thank you for this. Do the lasers and LED's employed in both the facial and hair growth devices emit the same light? Are these devices similar in output? Low level laser/LED devices seem to be everywhere and I'm wondering if they are interchangeable.
I'm glad you pointed out that more melanated skin won't benefit nearly as much. My skin likely won't benefit from this laser hair method. Thank you for doing these videos though. Because of you i got a dermaroller and have started seeing progress. My wife and daughter noticed before I did.
How much and where from may I ask friend. It’s ruined my life in ways I cannot explain. Stopped going out and everything. I went from popular to a laughing stock fast. My “friends” seem to think it’s cool to make fun of me. I been single 15 years. Wanted to die in my sleep etc. I’m paranoid and I dunno. I just want out this life.
Finasteride is most important because it's a DHT blocker. Finasteride and minoxidil work independently of each other because minoxidil is a stimulant. LLLT devices are also stimulants. It might be helpful to add it to your regimen, but I'm not 100 percent convinced that they work.
Thanks for the review, I agree LLLt is a real option. I tried a couple of them, including the one that costs 1,200$ ... which died on my around the 1 year mark. Since I saw great results and did not want to pay that much again, I opted for the Bold Laser Hair Cap... Gave me similar results (speed of hair growth) and maintained my previous progress... while saving me like 900$.
I've had a Capillus for about 2 years now. Still use it daily. This along with the PRP and two hair transplants was a great thing for my hair. Overall my hair looks much better now than two years ago.
Awesome, thanks for sharing! Any chance we could see pictures of your process? I'm sure there's a lot of people who would be interested in seeing your journey :)
I had some hair thinning about 3 months after covid. I even had a spot that was almost completely gone. I tried minoxidil and it caused severe itching flaking and burning. I hD gotten a small red light therapy device for pain---- it looks like a mini flashlight. I dont know why but I decided to try it on my head . I do it when I'm decompressing in the evening and I just sort of lay on my bed close my eyes and think. I've been using this light everyday for between 10 to 30 min and I have all kinds of baby hairs growing. I've been at this for 2 weeks and some of these hairs are almost an inch and some are about 1 and a half centimeters. The hair shedding I was experiencing has been slowing down to almost normal. .....and after covid it was a lot. Overall I lost about half my hair and it happened in a vouple of showers. I was scared to see such large amounts if hair fall and had to unclog the shower drain several times which until then I had never had to unclog a shower drain. There was hair all over my pillow and kept tickling my arms as it fell through the day. I was devistated
I was just diagnosed with LPP - Lichen Planopilaris. I have the iRestore helmet. Is this something safe to use with this condition? From what I’ve researched online, it is ok to use. My LPP isn’t as severe …. My scalp isn’t itching or burning all the time. It just seems like my hair won’t stop shedding and it doesn’t always feel comfortable in a pony tail. I’m also using a topical steroid at the moment for first line of treatment. Could you do a video on LPP?
Male pattern baldness here. I'm on treatment # 159 of the TheraDome 40 LED unit that I purchased from Costco.I took a before picture. So far I don't really see any dramatic improvement. I've also been using the Kirkland foam Minoxidil 2x a day for many years with very little results. I'm a 66 year old white male, so maybe it's too late for me. I'll give the dome another 100 treatments. If no results, I give up.
Go to your dermatologist and ask about the oral minoxidil with finasteride and biotin. That combo has been getting good reviews. I'm 58 and have been using topical minoxidil, Revian Red (laser hair cap), and derma-rolling once a week for many years. My hair is doing well with this regimen and I'm the only one of my 4 siblings who still has any hair. They're amazed!
That is some dedication to a product my man, maybe it's my ADHD talking but I probably would have quit after 30 days of it not working. Unless it was like fun or felt amazingly good because otherwise I would quickly lose interest. I really appreciate your dedication to a product. I am in no way bashing you for continuing to use it, I am honestly impressed. I've tried the foams and the drips and the shampoos for thinning hair and have not found anything that particularly work. I do like the smell of the brand I'm using, and it feels good like cooling effect so I have kept using it for months despite not really seeing any results. Because at the end of the day I enjoy it as a basic shampoo and conditioner set. I'm not too far behind you at 49 but at least I have more hair than my dad did at 43 (he didn't make it past 43 so I don't know what my future holds)
I'm concerned that as a longhair, buying a cap or a helmet simply won't work for me since the laser won't penetrate through my hairs to reach my scalp. I'm in the early stages of AGA (androgenic alopecia) and I'm going on finasteride this week. I wanted to supplement my finasteride regiment with laser therapy but I don't know if my current hair density will allow for this to work. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
Hi doc, little question. I've had a FUE-transplant 8 months ago. I was wondering if it is safe enough by now for me to try this. Do you have any idea if it will negatively effect the receiving area of my scalp?
Great info Dr., I just got a capillas-pro and my question is: would it be more effective if i cut my hair to 1/2 inch or it will have the same effect if i don’t cut it ? I do have it at 2” and 1” on the crown. Thanks in advance !!!!
When I had cancer and my hair started falling out, I just shaved my head and wore my fedora until it came back. But there are people in the cancer community that use a "cold cap" to prevent hair loss to begin with. The way it works must be a lot different, no?
I friend of mine had that problem and he was prescribed Minoxidil and applied it in the morning and at night and after one month her hair came back, hope this is a good information... Good luck...
this is by far the most helpful video on lllt. if you do research online, people will either hate it/think it's a scam or give overly positive/enthusiastic reviews that seem very biased or sponsored.
First of all this Doctor should grow himself some hair on the head or wear a patch(hair piece), as a bald man he is incredible talking about hair transplants! 💙💙💙♥️💙💙💙
So the difference between laser hair removal and laser hair growth is just the level intensity? I have laser hair removal machines called Ulike. It's a quick intense flash. I also have these curved machines which are light therapy machines which say it helps with acne, but I wonder if they'd be good for hair growth as well since they might be low level. What color should the light therapy be? Because apparently different color lights do different things.
Haha I bet the differences are also is the power level & frequency of the radiation (a lot of the time expressed in wavelength, but it’s the same thing you just calculate one from another). Look since you’re obviously not an electrical engineer or someone who understands this good enough but is interested in learning it I would highly recommend to learn from Chat GPT4 or use other respectable sources
My personal experience after 6 months of use with a highly reputable 272 laser hood is that LLLT has little or no effectiveness. I maxed out with minoxdil and dutasteride medical treatment after 10 years and saw no gain by adding LLLT to my regimen. We need more research into better modalities of treatment. The best that current therapy can do is just delay the inevitable!
Thats because all hair follicles are already triggerd by other treatments. There are no sleeping or thin hair follicles that LLLT can wakeup or make thicker
Damn so I could have been using my laser pointer to stop my hair loss this entire time but instead I spent all those years using it to see cats chase it around smh
Thanks for the video! It'd be nice to know if there were studies looking at the relative effectiveness of near IR light or at least absorptivity by the chromophores. The prices are ridiculous for what the devices actually are. A laser cap seems like a relatively easy DIY project: 3D printed cap and several LED/lasers in parallel with a small battery pack. It seems like literature can give you appropriate levels of intensity to calculate emitter density & output.
Thanks for the info. You see these commercials where it's like "You can grow your hair WITH LASERS!" and you generally just go, "Are you f*cking kidding?"
He talks about it in his other videos, plus not all hair loss types are the same. He has an autoimmune issue. So even if he underwent a hair transplant which he offers the hair would not stay as the immune system attacks it and it would fall out again.
Thank you so much for all your informative videos. You explain things so clearly & give us vital information on so many topics. BTW: You have such a clear, flawless complexion. Any info/secrets/advice for older women? I always had a beautiful/flawless complexion until I became "elderly". Now I keep getting blemishes (different types). My dermatologist says it's just aging & that it's so minimal I shouldn't worry... but it bothers me a lot!!
thank for noting that most of these devices are actually LED based, and have no lasers in them. I would never buy anything from a company that used LEDs and claimed their product was Laser based, especially the liars at Capillas.
He talks about it in a lot of his other videos. he has Alopecia Areata, which causes hair loss due to the immune system attacking the hair follicles, not the traditional "male pattern baldness" caused by DHT/tesosterone. That makes him a bad candidate for hair restoration surgery. He does other facial plastic surgery too, but I think it is pretty ironic that he has hair loss himself that he can't fix. I went to high school and even elementary there was a girl that was completely bald because of the same thing, so it is not the same as what the majority of people see in male pattern baldness.
I manufacture a lot of these devices, it falls into PBM (photobiomodulation) or PBS which Gary mentioned. It seems it's a good complimentary treatment, but not a stand-alone treatment. The short is that it increases blood-flow and healthy cellular function so it's only good.
I read that tretinoin was used for hair growth. Co you make a video on that please? Also, tretinoin for aging skin. I know it's off-topic but it would be nice to hear your view.
I'm really torn between rogaine and laser therapy. I've noticed my hairline only recently starting to recede ever so slightly over the last year. It's giving me some bad anxiety to be honest, but I'm finding it difficult to choose despite knowing that I need to nip it in the butt so to speak while I still have a full head of hair despite it thinning out a bit. I don't really see tons of hair falling out while I shower or run my hands through which I think is a good sign? Anyway. Thank you for the informative video!
Take progress photos. Every two weeks ot once a month. Look at them and decide pretty soon what you want to do. Like the Dr. said, if you are deciding between rogaine and laser light therapy, he recommends being on at least two treatment modalities, so it is probably better to do them both.
Rogain doesn't work on receding or front ,,,dont waste your money ,,I been there ,same as you ,,never saw hair anywhere ,I was ok up till 55,,not now ,,baseball hat
Hey, slightly off topic but not quite as still re: hair loss, I've got alopecia universalis like you - any thoughts on the trials of JAKS Inhibitors for people like us going forward?
I remember years ago there was a guy who had published online a ‘how-to’ for building your own LLLT laser cap at home, and he even sold laser diode kits for DIY. You may still find him if you poke around a bit, I forget his name unfortunately. I bought my Theradome LLLT helmet back in 2013, that’s around the time when he had published the online how-to.
Great video, I was wondering what the differences are between this low laser light therapy. Whether you are doing it at home using a capillas, to going into a clinic and getting it done through one of their machines.
Hello! Thank you for all your awesome content. This is the most informative channel on youtube on hairloss and hair restoration also done by an experienced surgeon that actually does himself the procedures. I was wondering, did you happen to see studies done for redensyl, procapil, baicapil, capixyl - some emerging compounds for hairloss, although maybe not as potent as the medicines like finasteride and minoxidil, for some people, especially in those that start to observe their receeding since the first phases and have a family history of androgenetic alopecia, but still, maybe they can somehow help preserve hair alongside with the laser option.
A study indicates that LLLT may have a detrimental effect on melanoma tumors by promoting blood vessel formation, which can potentially accelerate tumor growth. This suggests caution should be exercised when considering LLLT treatment for individuals with melanoma or similar conditions.
Wait it only works for Fitzpatrick score of 1 through 4? You gave scores in the left panel which shows the palest skin is also 1 to 6. So you’re saying it’ll work only palest skins? Doc, you said score, I wish you talked in terms of score.
Thank you for making this video, I passed on some of this information to my dad. Interesting to think that the technology I use to remove my hair is similar to what he uses to try and regrow his 😆
I love you, Dr. Linkov! Thank you for this. I was nearly enticed to get the IRestore but something stopped me. I'm a fan of Fifty plus Beauty, and she recommends it. After watching you recommend for the Cap, I'm going with that!. I was thin before but Covid left me losing my hair by chunks!. I've got oral Minoxidil which actually seems to help. Thank you for your great videos
Any thoughts on the Revian? It claims two types of LED light which are more effective than the laser light, and 10 minutes a day. Also the laser cap HD +. No cheap laser light one. Thanks!
Dr. Linkov. I've had one FUE transplant 10 years ago. Age 58. That procedure worked well. I was thinning as I got older but not completely bald. The follow-up protocols for me are Revian Red (10 mins per day); Oral minoxidil/finasteride/biotin, made by a compounding pharmacy and taken daily, and once a week derma rolling. My hair looks great and I haven't noticed any side effects. Perhaps you can comment in a future video about oral minoxidil/finasteride/biotin and its efficacy as I've read recently in the NY Times about how powerful the combination can be. I'm a testament to consistency and not waiting too long to begin treatment. All the best.
I’m looking into using a laser light as my follicles are still open and wanting to help thinning hair. Wanting to see what’s good on the market. Hair club mentions xtrallux ? Doing my research now to see if it’s worth it?! Have you heard of this one?
I’ve tried finasteride for 3 years and it did not work. I tried rogaine and it grew back stray hairs. I have been using the laser comb and it’s working unbelievably well. I got the $399 ultima 9 but I got it for $14.99 from goodwill, lucky me!
While I appreciate the professional level of information distribution you are doing. Probably the hardest thing about that diode energy calculation is the spread of the beams and bleed through as each one will not just hit one part of the skin and stop, it will light up and spread out as soon as it hits the skin and different skin, tones, existing hair densities causing shade and diffraction would make the calculation very difficult to even setup. I would bet a computer simulation or AI predictive method would come close but still. I find complex mathematics very fascinating.
I think the idea is that the light might not hit every micrometer of scalp everytime you use it, but over time, the full scalp will get coverage as the placement of device and hair is always changing.
Curious. You chose cap pro with a 6-7 min steady beam, yet you said the flashing style is better for hair growth… So why do you not choose a model that does flashing for 15-30 minutes, which is the design that has the most tests on?
Be careful about LLLT guys I've been reading so many reviews of it causing hair loss rather than growth. I knew there had to be a downside to this because there always is and in this case it's the opposite of what it's promised to do. Stay safe ya'll
the HairMax 12 worked for me on the top of my head. I was happy with the results so i bought the HairMax 41and i used it for almost a year before i noticed it hasn't been working and my hair is thinning. I'm back to the comb and rogain
@@28Driftstar Yes, I think so. Of course I have no way to know how fast it would’ve been if I was only doing two out of the three or one out of the three. But using all three together is what most experts recommend and I have seen good results
@@thedmg9832 when did you start the treatment and how long until you saw results? did you also had the typical shedding phase in the beginning or did it actually stop the shedding if u were already shedding prior to the treatment? also thanks for the reply!
@@28Driftstar I'm nor sure which treatment you are asking about. I started propecia in may of 2000. I started rogaine around 2010 and I started using the laser cap on fathers day 2018. I noticed results from the laser cap in about 3 months. I did not notice any shedding phase.
Can you do a video on the Laduora 4 in 1 pod based scalp and haircare device please? Recently bought it because I’ve experienced some hair loss due to a tight hairstyle but I am kind of nervous about using it. Please do a video for a new subby! 😊

*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.

I work as a laser technician in a hair removal clinic and I noticed when I work with low power on patients they come back for the next session saying the hair grew even more than before the treatment 😳
Now I know why 😶
Exactly!!!
@@drgarylinkov tnx for the info and hello from Israel! 😄
Waste of time
What do you mean by " low power " ?
@@apacur We define the power of the machine for each patient according to the diagnosis of skin tone and hair color. When our diagnosis is incorrect (or when we feel sorry for the patients) sometimes the chosen work intensities are too low for the patient and the result is what is said above ☝🏽
Thanks for your unbiased information and recommendation.
You mention that you recommend in 2021 the Capillus laser therapy cap. For design, treatment time and available strong data. But back then there was no clear winner. Now we are May 2023, do you have differnt recommendations now? Especially when it comes to efficacy, also skintype V (mine) as you mentioned up till then it's only for I-IV. (Nd-YAG lasers are suitable for dark en and very dark skin having also infra red in it). Would it be possible to do an up to date review on this topic please? 🙏🏽
Hi Doctor: I bought a red light device for my face: the Dr Gross appliance: what are your thoughts on effectiveness to boost collagen production?
i boght it. it does work but you need to be consistent. Also microcurrent
The $3000.00 Capillus cap was a huge disappointment for me. The charger kept breaking and eventually the laser went out after having it approximately one year. Contacting the main source or office and talking to someone in authority was impossible and all they did was offer a fee to replace the cap with a less expensive cap costing $700.00 . eventually I found a branch or Extentions of a branch and sent it back registered mail, without ever hearing from the Capillus again. Hummmm
I bought a Platinum LED red light lamp for some neuropathy I had. My chiropractor recommended it. Since I had it anyway I figured I would try it for my hair loss. From what I’ve heard, red light only restores 35% more hair. It doesn’t bring everything back. I would say this is true for my experience. Did it bring everything back? No. However my hair is thicker now than it was 2 years ago. My hair is the thickest it’s been in the last 15 years or so. You can still tell I have thinning hair but it has improved substantially. Less of my scalp is visible than it was before and my ponytail is noticeably thicker. Hair barrettes that used to slip out of my hair now remain firmly in place, in fact my hair is now almost too thick to use them. My hair fall has substantially decreased as well.
I have also heard that minoxidil only works for less than half of the people that try it. I’ve tried it twice and didn’t see much if any improvement.
More recently, I have made a point of eating more animal based protein and now my hair fall has plummeted even more. Hair loss is such a complex problem with so many different causes. There’s so much trial and error involved in figuring out what works best for you.
But this makes no sense to me because even sunlight exposes your head to more red/infrared light than these helmets. So does that mean going out into the sun improves your hair density? or does the UV light or other wavelengths from the sunlight counter-act this effect?
Good point!
Very true. I was just thinking about how sun probably does help hair growth. I think a huge reason my hair got more dense was from making a point to go outside daily- but I don’t have hair loss.
I wonder if the helmet just being close and pulsing has the most to do with it?
He emphasized the distance from the light source being extremely important. The sun is pretty far away.
Actually yes ! Sun light helps in hair growth
@@yoshtg Distance doesn't increase wavelength, speed increases wavelength (assuming the emitter is moving away from the detector). Although, when talking about EM spectrum that mainly just applies to astronomical observations.
Dr Gary, do ketocanozole next. I’d love to hear your views on that. I may be mistaken but I don’t think I’ve heard you talk about it.
These caps are astronomically expensive for the kind of treatment they deliver, when the same can be achieved at a tiny fraction of the cost using over the counter RLT bulbs. Don't place too much value on the "FDA cleared" claim, as it is rather easy to attain with the right amount of money handed over, given the 510K process is very expensive. RLT treatment mechanisms between a large bulb vs an array of "medical grade" LEDs essentially the same. Whether it is in the form factor of a baseball cap vs just a bulb pointed towards yoru head makes very little difference when you understand how RLT works. It is incredibly effective at penetrating deep into the skin, so you do not need to have the light so precisely targeted. Anyway if you want to give it a shot without spending the astronomical asking price of a Capillus cap, buy yourself a couple of $40 RLT bulbs and some cheap clamp lamps give it a shot.
its the distance from the scalp and how light intensity reduces from distance probably but I appreciate the tip, do u know any studies done laser caps vs RLT bulb?
i thought this vid was gonna be about laser hair removal! that's so interesting that the same tool (laser) can both remove and restore hair depending on the dosage!
That’s true, I hadn’t thought of that haha
I was getting laser hair removal with a YAG (I have dark skin). The setting worked well for my legs but it stimulated growth (not intended) on my chest at that same level which was disturbing.
Ok I know this is probably a really dumb question but I have to ask it, especially when words like 'radiation' are being thrown around - are there any long-term concerns with something like this? Blasting your scalp with light/radiation multiple times a day for the rest of your life has me worried about things like cancer. I'm probably very wrong, I know certain wavelengths can be dangerous and I'm sure this is well within safe limits, but I just need that reassurance.
I used irestore for about 15 months. Results were minimal and the reason I stopped using it after 15 months is because it became nonfunctional- the lights didn't come on anymore. No loose wires or change in how it was used. But out of warranty time so basically I now have a useless $1200 helmet. I took photos once a month to track progress or lack of it. The only benefit I saw was my hair grew longer faster than usual but did NOT grow thicker hair or more dense hair.
Thank you for sharing your honest experience.
I bought mine at Costco which has a *lifetime* warranty.
You didn't use it enough dude. And Kierrs is better. IRestore is not LLLT.
@@floridadude777 well I used it as directed. I suspect it doesn't work well without something like minoxidil. Maybe it enhances a secondary treatment?? On it's own I had very little result. Haven't heard of the other brand you mentioned. I'll look it up.
As of 8/19/2021, the iRestore Professional standard manufacturing warranty was updated from 1-year to 2-year. Though it did not work for me. I have used it for 10 months. I am returning to get partial refund.
I have been using a HairMax lasercomb for nearly seven years recommended by my dermatologist. I have fine hair and full long pieces were falling out. I now have a new head of hair! My new hair growth is Curly! I still have a lot of hair falling out apparently due to a follicular issue, but at least I have new hair growing back in!
Is hairmax lasercomb is good?
How often do you use it please? I just bought one. Do u find your hair becomes frizzy and thinner in the beginning? I think mine does

Excellent review, very well presented!
I am puzzled however, after hearing the Doctor suggest that a ‘pulsing’ lazer cap is likely be more effective than a ‘continuous’ laser cap ..then why did he recommed the Capillus Pro272, cap which is stated to have a ‘continuous’ laser operation?
Because he's getting paid to recommend that
Yea, you do have to wonder ..
u better say they work!!! I've got one on my head right Now!!
@@appletrades I wish I can offer a meaningful answer. At the time I started in December 2021, I was on a horrible med (accutane) for my acne which affects hair growth, I finished the meds mid March, and in June I thought my hair had gotten much better. But I don't know, is it because I stopped accutane or because of the laser cap! I took more videos that I need to review in 6 months. That would be a fair assessment of the laser cap
@@jemmaj2919how is the situation with your hair now ?
Thank you for this. Do the lasers and LED's employed in both the facial and hair growth devices emit the same light? Are these devices similar in output? Low level laser/LED devices seem to be everywhere and I'm wondering if they are interchangeable.
I'm glad you pointed out that more melanated skin won't benefit nearly as much. My skin likely won't benefit from this laser hair method. Thank you for doing these videos though. Because of you i got a dermaroller and have started seeing progress. My wife and daughter noticed before I did.

Wondering how it works in conjunction with minoxidil and finasteride if I’m using these two already will there be any improvement?
Finasteride is most important because it's a DHT blocker. Finasteride and minoxidil work independently of each other because minoxidil is a stimulant. LLLT devices are also stimulants. It might be helpful to add it to your regimen, but I'm not 100 percent convinced that they work.
Thanks for the review, I agree LLLt is a real option. I tried a couple of them, including the one that costs 1,200$ ... which died on my around the 1 year mark. Since I saw great results and did not want to pay that much again, I opted for the Bold Laser Hair Cap... Gave me similar results (speed of hair growth) and maintained my previous progress... while saving me like 900$.
Will u please name the device so I can buy one. I have a very tight budget unfortunately. Thank you.
Wasn't the 1st cap you bought that died, under warranty? I think you said a little less than a year....
Weird that this is word for word the same review that appears on testpilot. How spontaneous is this comment?
I've had a Capillus for about 2 years now. Still use it daily. This along with the PRP and two hair transplants was a great thing for my hair. Overall my hair looks much better now than two years ago.
Awesome, thanks for sharing! Any chance we could see pictures of your process? I'm sure there's a lot of people who would be interested in seeing your journey :)

Just wondering what are your thoughts about the different models of Capillus caps ie: number of laser diodes. Great video!
I had some hair thinning about 3 months after covid. I even had a spot that was almost completely gone. I tried minoxidil and it caused severe itching flaking and burning. I hD gotten a small red light therapy device for pain---- it looks like a mini flashlight. I dont know why but I decided to try it on my head . I do it when I'm decompressing in the evening and I just sort of lay on my bed close my eyes and think. I've been using this light everyday for between 10 to 30 min and I have all kinds of baby hairs growing. I've been at this for 2 weeks and some of these hairs are almost an inch and some are about 1 and a half centimeters. The hair shedding I was experiencing has been slowing down to almost normal. .....and after covid it was a lot. Overall I lost about half my hair and it happened in a vouple of showers. I was scared to see such large amounts if hair fall and had to unclog the shower drain several times which until then I had never had to unclog a shower drain. There was hair all over my pillow and kept tickling my arms as it fell through the day. I was devistated
How does this therapy affect actinic keratosis, particularly for breakouts on the scalp?
I was just diagnosed with LPP - Lichen Planopilaris. I have the iRestore helmet. Is this something safe to use with this condition? From what I’ve researched online, it is ok to use. My LPP isn’t as severe …. My scalp isn’t itching or burning all the time. It just seems like my hair won’t stop shedding and it doesn’t always feel comfortable in a pony tail. I’m also using a topical steroid at the moment for first line of treatment. Could you do a video on LPP?
Male pattern baldness here. I'm on treatment # 159 of the TheraDome 40 LED unit that I purchased from Costco.I took a before picture. So far I don't really see any dramatic improvement. I've also been using the Kirkland foam Minoxidil 2x a day for many years with very little results. I'm a 66 year old white male, so maybe it's too late for me. I'll give the dome another 100 treatments. If no results, I give up.
Go to your dermatologist and ask about the oral minoxidil with finasteride and biotin. That combo has been getting good reviews. I'm 58 and have been using topical minoxidil, Revian Red (laser hair cap), and derma-rolling once a week for many years. My hair is doing well with this regimen and I'm the only one of my 4 siblings who still has any hair. They're amazed!
That is some dedication to a product my man, maybe it's my ADHD talking but I probably would have quit after 30 days of it not working. Unless it was like fun or felt amazingly good because otherwise I would quickly lose interest. I really appreciate your dedication to a product. I am in no way bashing you for continuing to use it, I am honestly impressed. I've tried the foams and the drips and the shampoos for thinning hair and have not found anything that particularly work. I do like the smell of the brand I'm using, and it feels good like cooling effect so I have kept using it for months despite not really seeing any results. Because at the end of the day I enjoy it as a basic shampoo and conditioner set. I'm not too far behind you at 49 but at least I have more hair than my dad did at 43 (he didn't make it past 43 so I don't know what my future holds)
I’m thinking that you’ll have to give any treatment months, not weeks before you can actually appreciate any change….
Laser treatment DOES NOT WORK. Had 6 months treatment at a clinic and LaserComb I used for over 1 year. Waste of money.
I can’t believe I requested this video yesterday in the comments section on another video, AND HERE IT IS!!
I'm concerned that as a longhair, buying a cap or a helmet simply won't work for me since the laser won't penetrate through my hairs to reach my scalp.
I'm in the early stages of AGA (androgenic alopecia) and I'm going on finasteride this week. I wanted to supplement my finasteride regiment with laser therapy but I don't know if my current hair density will allow for this to work.
Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Hi doc, little question. I've had a FUE-transplant 8 months ago. I was wondering if it is safe enough by now for me to try this. Do you have any idea if it will negatively effect the receiving area of my scalp?
Same question here
Great info Dr., I just got a capillas-pro and my question is: would it be more effective if i cut my hair to 1/2 inch or it will have the same effect if i don’t cut it ? I do have it at 2” and 1” on the crown. Thanks in advance !!!!
How result today any update capillus?
When I had cancer and my hair started falling out, I just shaved my head and wore my fedora until it came back. But there are people in the cancer community that use a "cold cap" to prevent hair loss to begin with. The way it works must be a lot different, no?
Very different..cold caps keep the blood away and therfore stop the chemo from circulating the scalp area...this is different
Could you please talk more about alopecia areata? I've had it and it was devastating and I did not respond to steroid injections.
I friend of mine had that problem and he was prescribed Minoxidil and applied it in the morning and at night and after one month her hair came back, hope this is a good information...

So the difference between laser hair removal and laser hair growth is just the level intensity?
I have laser hair removal machines called Ulike. It's a quick intense flash.
I also have these curved machines which are light therapy machines which say it helps with acne, but I wonder if they'd be good for hair growth as well since they might be low level.
What color should the light therapy be?
Because apparently different color lights do different things.
Haha I bet the differences are also is the power level & frequency of the radiation (a lot of the time expressed in wavelength, but it’s the same thing you just calculate one from another).
Look since you’re obviously not an electrical engineer or someone who understands this good enough but is interested in learning it I would highly recommend to learn from Chat GPT4 or use other respectable sources
I don't know why this guy Dr Gary voice is very soothing I could almost fall asleep while he is explaining throughly
My personal experience after 6 months of use with a highly reputable 272 laser hood is that LLLT has little or no effectiveness. I maxed out with minoxdil and dutasteride medical treatment after 10 years and saw no gain by adding LLLT to my regimen. We need more research into better modalities of treatment. The best that current therapy can do is just delay the inevitable!
Thats because all hair follicles are already triggerd by other treatments. There are no sleeping or thin hair follicles that LLLT can wakeup or make thicker
Once you reach that point the next stage is a hair transplant.

Thanks for the video! It'd be nice to know if there were studies looking at the relative effectiveness of near IR light or at least absorptivity by the chromophores.
The prices are ridiculous for what the devices actually are. A laser cap seems like a relatively easy DIY project: 3D printed cap and several LED/lasers in parallel with a small battery pack. It seems like literature can give you appropriate levels of intensity to calculate emitter density & output.

Agree 👍 🙆♂️ 💯 👍
Can you please do a video on the efficacy of stem cell hair procedures?
Why is a bald doctor commenting on hair restoration?
He talks about it in a lot of his other videos. he has Alopecia Areata, which causes hair loss due to the immune system attacking the hair follicles, not the traditional "male pattern baldness" caused by DHT/tesosterone. That makes him a bad candidate for hair restoration surgery. He does other facial plastic surgery too, but I think it is pretty ironic that he has hair loss himself that he can't fix. I went to high school and even elementary there was a girl that was completely bald because of the same thing, so it is not the same as what the majority of people see in male pattern baldness.
I manufacture a lot of these devices, it falls into PBM (photobiomodulation) or PBS which Gary mentioned. It seems it's a good complimentary treatment, but not a stand-alone treatment. The short is that it increases blood-flow and healthy cellular function so it's only good.
I read that tretinoin was used for hair growth. Co you make a video on that please? Also, tretinoin for aging skin. I know it's off-topic but it would be nice to hear your view.
Can this work on women with androgenetic alopecia as well?
We can assume, yes.
I'd say yes as well. Why not?
I'm really torn between rogaine and laser therapy. I've noticed my hairline only recently starting to recede ever so slightly over the last year. It's giving me some bad anxiety to be honest, but I'm finding it difficult to choose despite knowing that I need to nip it in the butt so to speak while I still have a full head of hair despite it thinning out a bit. I don't really see tons of hair falling out while I shower or run my hands through which I think is a good sign? Anyway. Thank you for the informative video!
Have the same problem, I started to use the laser cap and rogaine simultaneously, haven't seen a difference after 3 months so far.
Take progress photos. Every two weeks ot once a month. Look at them and decide pretty soon what you want to do. Like the Dr. said, if you are deciding between rogaine and laser light therapy, he recommends being on at least two treatment modalities, so it is probably better to do them both.

I just wonder how much some of those lasers Caps actually cost to make. I've got a feeling they're tripling their money
I remember years ago there was a guy who had published online a ‘how-to’ for building your own LLLT laser cap at home, and he even sold laser diode kits for DIY. You may still find him if you poke around a bit, I forget his name unfortunately. I bought my Theradome LLLT helmet back in 2013, that’s around the time when he had published the online how-to.
They are getting 4 times their money in sales..watch shark tank
The problem with higher energy lasers (ie 'bluer' lasers) is their lower penetration power compared to IR. Lasers also tend to degrade biomaterial.
"Lasers also tend to degrade biomaterial" just to repeat it
Great video, I was wondering what the differences are between this low laser light therapy. Whether you are doing it at home using a capillas, to going into a clinic and getting it done through one of their machines.

if this works, why is this doctor still bald?
Hello! Thank you for all your awesome content. This is the most informative channel on youtube on hairloss and hair restoration also done by an experienced surgeon that actually does himself the procedures.
I was wondering, did you happen to see studies done for redensyl, procapil, baicapil, capixyl - some emerging compounds for hairloss, although maybe not as potent as the medicines like finasteride and minoxidil, for some people, especially in those that start to observe their receeding since the first phases and have a family history of androgenetic alopecia, but still, maybe they can somehow help preserve hair alongside with the laser option.
A study indicates that LLLT may have a detrimental effect on melanoma tumors by promoting blood vessel formation, which can potentially accelerate tumor growth. This suggests caution should be exercised when considering LLLT treatment for individuals with melanoma or similar conditions.
Wait it only works for Fitzpatrick score of 1 through 4? You gave scores in the left panel which shows the palest skin is also 1 to 6. So you’re saying it’ll work only palest skins? Doc, you said score, I wish you talked in terms of score.
Thank you for making this video, I passed on some of this information to my dad. Interesting to think that the technology I use to remove my hair is similar to what he uses to try and regrow his 😆

I love you, Dr. Linkov! Thank you for this. I was nearly enticed to get the IRestore but something stopped me. I'm a fan of Fifty plus Beauty, and she recommends it. After watching you recommend for the Cap, I'm going with that!. I was thin before but Covid left me losing my hair by chunks!. I've got oral Minoxidil which actually seems to help. Thank you for your great videos
Any thoughts on the Revian? It claims two types of LED light which are more effective than the laser light, and 10 minutes a day. Also the laser cap HD +. No cheap laser light one. Thanks!
Where does the theradome rank on your list?
Dr. Linkov. I've had one FUE transplant 10 years ago. Age 58. That procedure worked well. I was thinning as I got older but not completely bald. The follow-up protocols for me are Revian Red (10 mins per day); Oral minoxidil/finasteride/biotin, made by a compounding pharmacy and taken daily, and once a week derma rolling. My hair looks great and I haven't noticed any side effects. Perhaps you can comment in a future video about oral minoxidil/finasteride/biotin and its efficacy as I've read recently in the NY Times about how powerful the combination can be. I'm a testament to consistency and not waiting too long to begin treatment. All the best.
I’m looking into using a laser light as my follicles are still open and wanting to help thinning hair. Wanting to see what’s good on the market. Hair club mentions xtrallux ? Doing my research now to see if it’s worth it?! Have you heard of this one?
I've been waiting for this video for so long tysm

Does low level laser therapy affect cognitive function or the brain in any way? Also is it okay to use in people with psoriasis?
does light penetrate bones and the skull?
I’ve tried finasteride for 3 years and it did not work. I tried rogaine and it grew back stray hairs. I have been using the laser comb and it’s working unbelievably well. I got the $399 ultima 9 but I got it for $14.99 from goodwill, lucky me!

Probably the hardest thing about that diode energy calculation is the spread of the beams and bleed through as each one will not just hit one part of the skin and stop, it will light up and spread out as soon as it hits the skin and different skin, tones, existing hair densities causing shade and diffraction would make the calculation very difficult to even setup. I would bet a computer simulation or AI predictive method would come close but still. I find complex mathematics very fascinating.
I think the idea is that the light might not hit every micrometer of scalp everytime you use it, but over time, the full scalp will get coverage as the placement of device and hair is always changing.
Why am I 6hs late here?
@TH-cam, you had _one_ job!

Mad respect for not taking $ money to push a certain Laser Hair growth company that is on like every TH-cam channel......cough..cough...IRestore...lol
Hi, any Information about Lescolton LS -D601 ?
Is this a good LLLT Helmet?
Thanks....
Curious. You chose cap pro with a 6-7 min steady beam, yet you said the flashing style is better for hair growth… So why do you not choose a model that does flashing for 15-30 minutes, which is the design that has the most tests on?
Be careful about LLLT guys I've been reading so many reviews of it causing hair loss rather than growth. I knew there had to be a downside to this because there always is and in this case it's the opposite of what it's promised to do. Stay safe ya'll
the HairMax 12 worked for me on the top of my head. I was happy with the results so i bought the HairMax 41and i used it for almost a year before i noticed it hasn't been working and my hair is thinning. I'm back to the comb and rogain
I'm on finastride, biotin, and ll light therapy
How's it working for you? I'm just starting to take finasteride but am also considering getting on minoxidil with light therapy
Can you use the cap while using the finasteride and minoxidil?
yes. that is recommended. I do
@@thedmg9832 did it increase your hair growth faster by using all three?
@@28Driftstar Yes, I think so. Of course I have no way to know how fast it would’ve been if I was only doing two out of the three or one out of the three. But using all three together is what most experts recommend and I have seen good results
@@thedmg9832 when did you start the treatment and how long until you saw results? did you also had the typical shedding phase in the beginning or did it actually stop the shedding if u were already shedding prior to the treatment?
also thanks for the reply!
@@28Driftstar I'm nor sure which treatment you are asking about. I started propecia in may of 2000. I started rogaine around 2010 and I started using the laser cap on fathers day 2018. I noticed results from the laser cap in about 3 months. I did not notice any shedding phase.
Can you do a video on the Laduora 4 in 1 pod based scalp and haircare device please? Recently bought it because I’ve experienced some hair loss due to a tight hairstyle but I am kind of nervous about using it. Please do a video for a new subby! 😊
