How the HairMax LaserComb Energizes Hair Follicles to Treat Hair Loss and Promote Hair Growth The key to the effectiveness of the HairMax LaserComb lies in the stimulation of the hair follicles. When the hair follicle suffers from poor blood flow or a hormone by product called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hair follicle progressively diminishes until it's permanently gone. The HairMax LaserComb utilizes laser phototherapy to stimulate the hair follicle. By bathing the scalp with gentle, nourishing laser light, the follicles are infused with the energy necessary to stimulate growth factors, extend the growth phase and help restore a healthy hair cycle. Additionally, laser phototherapy hair loss treatments help to increase blood flow to the scalp and helps to eliminate harmful wastes products such as DHT. HairMax LaserComb & The Hair Growth Cycle The hair growth cycle consists of three phases: Growth (Anagen), Resting (Telogen) and Shedding (Catagen). The images below illustrate the various states of the hair root and how the HairMax LaserComb treats hair loss at each phase.

Anagen - the active growth phase   Catagen - the resting phase   Telogen - the shedding phase.

At any given time, 10-20% of your hair is in the Catagen or Telogen phase waiting to be shed and replaced by an active Anagen hair (similar to the way a baby tooth is pushed out by a permanent tooth).

The HairMax LaserComb stimulates the scalp and energizes follicles in the Catagen or Telogen phase causing a new Anagen hair to be formed. These new Anagen hairs cause the old Catagen and Telogen hairs to shed now as opposed to being shed at a later time. This increase in Anagen hair activity results in a slight increase in shedding and should not be a cause for concern. The hairs being shed during this time are being replaced by new healthier stronger hairs. Supporting this hypothesis are user reports of increased hair shedding during the onset of treatment. This is a positive sign and, in-line with the Anagen induction hypothesis, indicates that hairs in the Catagen and Telogen phases are being stimulated to fall out of the scalp only to be replaced by healthier, thicker hair.

A. Live root growing a hair. HairMax provides energy for healthier hair follicle stimulating more rapid hair growth. B. Live root in resting or shedding phase. HairMax stimulates root to produce a new healthier hair follicle. C. Weakening root with a miniaturized Vellus hair. HairMax stimulates growth of thicker, healthy hair and helps to reverse the process of miniaturization. D. Dead root.  Beyond revitalization. A. In the “Growth Phase” or “Anagen Phase”, each hair grows approximately one centimeter (1/2 inch) per month for a period of 2 to 8 years. The HairMax LaserComb helps by providing energy to the hair growth process thus producing healthier, fuller hair. B. In the “Resting Phase” or “Telogen Phase”, the hair stops growing and ‘rests’ for 2 to 4 months and eventually falls out. The HairMax helps by stimulating re-growth of new hair. C. Termed “Vellus Hair” (light colored, short, fine "peach fuzz” hairs), the HairMax helps these fine hairs by stimulating them to grow into thicker, more mature hair. D. The root is dead and cannot be helped.
