Home LASER: There is no such device and you are advised against using a LASER which is a powerful medical device without a physician for any purpose.

Question 4

do laser hair regrowth devices like irestore really work? not balding but im 45 and looking to regrow/thicken my hair. other recos?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: This is difficult to measure. If lasers work, the result is not spectacular. Best treatment is a daily dose of finasteride or dutasteride. By inhibition of 5-alpha reductase they reduce dihidrotestosterone [DHT]. This reduces hair loss and may allow new hair growth. A positive side effect is less prostate trouble and less prostate cancer, and a tendency to longer life. They are well tolerated and

Question 5

i've read about laser hair combs/devices that can be used to combat or somewhat restore thinning hair. are they safe to use? any risks/side effects?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely to help: If your hair is seriously thinning, get your thyroid function checked and get an overall health assessment. These "magic" devices will probably disappoint you.

Question 6

silk'n flash & go hpl home laser hair removal device doesn't require eye protection, are my eyes really safe? what goggles can i get just to be sure?

Accepted Answer

Just say N0!: This is not a laser. It is a flash lamp. The likelihood of it being able to generate enough energy to actually destroy the hair follicle is pretty low. And if it does you just don't want to flash it in your eyes. I'd say don't waste your money. There's a reason commercial units cost way more and must be purchased by physicians--they have enough power to work.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Physician expert: Please consult with a Facial Plastic Surgeon, Plastic Surgeon, or Dermatilogist. Try to stay away from spas that are not directly supervised by an in-house physician. Your consultation and initial treatment should be under the supervision of a present physician in the same room. Hope this helps.

Question 9

Question 10

regarding hair removal, the drs.who have laser(gentilase, diode)say it's the best, same for ones having ipl.if my skin match all which the best?

Accepted Answer

Laser: Each doctor will probably say the laser they have works best. Obviously all of these lasers do work. If you have light skin and dark hair, i think alexandrite lasers such as gentlelase, with a wavelength of 755 nm work very well. Ipls tend to be versatile machines that generate a high intensity beam of light, but are not lasers. I prefer laser machines that do a specific job over ipl machines.
