Abstract in brief

  • The study tested the effectiveness and safety of the HairMax LaserComb device in promoting hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia over 26 weeks, comparing it to a sham device with no active laser light.
  • Results showed that men using the LaserComb had a significantly greater increase in hair density and overall hair regrowth compared to those using the sham device, indicating the treatment's effectiveness.
  • The device uses low-level laser light directed through combs that part the hair, allowing laser energy to reach the scalp without obstruction, which may contribute to its ability to stimulate hair growth.
