The HairMax LaserComb works via the principle of photo-bio stimulation, a process by which nutrient rich laser energy is delivered to the hair follicle.  This process causes a revitalization of the individual follicle, and a general strengthening of the hair.

Depending on the model, the HairMax uses a total of 5 or 9 individual laser beams, with each beam emitting the maximum amount of energy necessary to stimulate the hair follicles and effectively cause re-growth.

The general hypothesis behind the method of action of the HairMax is actually two-fold.

 

First, the laser light causes increased vascularization and an increase in cellular metabolism. Similar to the natural process of photosynthesis, the light energy delivered to the scalp literally “feeds” individual cells with the end result being more active, productive hair cells.

Secondly, the light energy emitted from the HairMax may increase blood flow and circulation within the scalp. This increase in blood flow is crucial to promoting healthy hair growth, and brings important nutrients into the follicle, while allowing the follicular cells to effectively dispose of detrimental waste products, such as DHT.

 

 Studies on the effects of Laser PhotoTherapy have shown that it leads to an increase in the metabolic energy transponder known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which contributes to energy levels in living cells.

 

This higher amount of energy delivered to the scalp and individual hair cells, in turn, allows for an increase in blood flow to the capillaries of the hair root.

 

In general, due to this process, more nutrients are delivered to the living cells that are a part of the hair shaft.

Additionally, this increased blood flow also allows the cell to expend waste products, such as DHT (One of the major catalysts of androgenetic alopecia). DHT is a bi-product of testosterone and, in short, elevated levels of DHT result in an attack of the hair follicle, and subsequent miniaturization eventually leading to baldness.

Results of a clinical study showed that virtually all patients using the HairMax demonstrated some degree of hair re-growth from this remarkable, but still not completely understood, process of action.
