First impressions are everything and hair is one of the first features that people notice on others. Looking your best can help you make a strong impact and a full head of thick, lustrous hair can go a long way in helping to achieve that. From Apira Science, one of the most respected clinical based laser hair restoration companies and maker of the highly successful Revage670, comes the only hands-free, home-use hair rejuvenation device that is as powerful as clinical solutions.iGrow leverages a patent-pending combination of built-in laser and LED lights to enable both men and women concerned with hair loss or thinning hair to experience dramatic results. Within 12 weeks of using iGrow as directed, most consumers report that they experience the cessation of excess hair loss. The appearance of thicker, fuller, healthier hair is typical within 24 weeks.
iGrow addresses the limitations and inconsistencies of these products by incorporating the same scientifically proven, Harvard Medical School-documented low level laser therapy technology that is found in the Revage670. The Revage670 has been used by more than 500 doctors in over 25 countries worldwide to effectively rejuvenate shedding and thinning hair. With the new iGrow, consumers have access to the very same technology relied upon in so many doctor’s offices and clinical settings now in the comfort of their own homes and at a fraction of the cost. Simple and convenient to use, the iGrow comfortably sits atop the user’s head, providing continuous overall coverage and leaving them completely mobile and free to do other things while receiving treatment. The iGrow even allows for users to listen to music while their hair rejuvenates it features iPod/MP3 compatibility.
The iGrow features 51 light sources that include 21 laser diodes and 30 LED lights to provide full scalp coverage, while combs and other hand held devices only have 9-15 laser lights. The output from iGrow is equivalent to most in-office clinical hair lasers. Hundreds of clinical studies have shown the effectiveness of low level laser therapy (LLLT) on various conditions including hair loss, carpal tunnel syndrome and acne. Results from using iGrow are rapid and substantial. According to Lorrie Klein, MD, “The average patient using iGrow will first begin to see decreased hair loss in about six to eight weeks. Then, within a few short months, their hair should begin looking thicker, fuller and healthier. At about the nine month mark, they’ll see the maximum result and then, with continued use of the iGrow, should be able to maintain those results.” Priced at $695, the iGrow is available now nd comes with a six month money back guarantee.
ScreenShots :
This thing is pointless because(unless you have a military cut) it shines on the hair and not the scalp. The low level laser has to shine directly on the scalp to work. Also they are throwing in a bunch of LED’s to off set the cost of laser’s so that it looks like its all lasers. Another failed product by a bunch of VC at work.
I am Leonard Stillman,
Director of Professional Services at Lexington International, LLC manufacturers
of the HairMax LaserComb. This posting is not for commercial purposes, but to
point out the facts about the claims of various laser manufacturers that their
devices are “stronger”
NOT ALL LASERS ARE THE
SAME AND NOT ALL BRANDS OF LASERS ARE THE SAME
There has been a lot of publicity about lasers and their use in all areas of
medicine, from surgical uses to uses for cosmetic indications such as hair
growth, hair removal, wrinkle effacement and cellulite reduction. Recently,
there have been an ever increasing number of home use laser devices introduced
that make all sorts of unproven claims about use for hair regrowth.
The action of lasers
is dependent on the TOTAL output of laser wavelength they emit and is NOT
dependent on the number of lasers used to give this output. In fact, if a laser
is designed for hair growth, total laser output has to be specific at 655 nm to
be effective. For a laser to destroy or remove hair, they have to have a higher
wavelength output in the visible light spectrum of around 800 nm. And of
course, lasers used in surgery to remove lesions have to have an even higher
wave length of over 1000 nm to work. So you can see that just a little higher
wave length than that which is required to work for a specific condition, can
actually cause a different reaction as between hair growth and destruction.
It is important to
know these facts about lasers and what they are used for because there is so
much conflicting information on the web about lasers and what they can do. The
big “buzz word” in hair growth is the allegation that the more lasers a device
has, the better it will work to grow hair. As mentioned above, this is not true
as it is the TOTAL energy output that is important and NOT the number of lasers
it takes to deliver this energy. In fact, more lasers in a device could in fact
be delivering too much energy and cause hair loss rather than hair growth
because of excess energy delivery.
So how do you know
what is the best laser to pick for treating a specific condition, particularly
for home use? The answer is simple – you should ONLY consider any home use
medical device that has specific FDA clearance for marketing. While there are a
lot of home use devices available on the web and from doctor’s offices, making
all sorts of claims, there is only one home-use laser phototherapy medical
device with FDA clearance for the treatment of hereditary hair loss and the
promotion of hair growth. The HairMax LaserComb is the ONLY home use laser
phototherapy device that has FDA clearance for marketing for the promotion of
hair growth in both men and women. Likewise, while there are many home use
laser devices that claim efficacy for hair growth, but NONE have FDA clearance.
And remember, FDA clearance for marketing is specific as with the HairMax LaserComb
and is NOT transferable to other devices of its kind. There is no such thing as
an “FDA approved brand of laser”!
So the decision as to
which device to buy is very simple……DO NOT buy any home use device that does
not have FDA clearance, period! So why is this FDA clearance so vital? The
reason is that this means that a 510(k) submission has been submitted to the
FDA for the device and has been reviewed by that agency to assure that the
device is safe. In many cases, as with the HairMax LaserComb, efficacy has been
proven in well controlled clinical studies and these studies were pivotal in
the clearance of the device by the FDA. For more information go to http://www.hairmax.com
In addition to this
review and clearance, the FDA requires and monitors strict manufacturing and
quality control standards. This oversight assures that the energy put out by
these devices ALWAYS complies with the energy output for which they were
cleared for marketing. Using any other devices that do not have this clearance
means you do not know how they are made and in some cases you do not even know
who makes them since they use a mail drop address. You should also make sure
that medical device manufactures adhere to strict ISO standards and Good
Manufacturing Practices to further assure that the device is of the highest
quality.
So while the various
lasers on the market, particularly in the home use category can be confusing,
it is easy to eliminate most of those advertised for consideration because they
DO NOT have FDA clearance SPECIFIC to their brand. Be sure to do your research
and assure that the company marketing the device you are considering has spent
the resources to achieve FDA clearance for marketing the right to make claims
for efficacy and follows strict manufacturing guidelines. Only in that way can
you be confident that they will do what they are designed to do and have the
highest standards of quality.
