The Oaze laser helmet and the Hairmax lasercomb

Recent years there have been many developments in the technology of lasers. A relatively new development has been the use of laser against hair lossc called  low level laser therapy (LLLT). Several scientific studies have shown that people suffering hair loss actually may benefit from low level lasers against hair loss. LLLT is FDA approved. There are currently a number of products on the market that make use of this technology. The best known products are the Oaze laser helmet (left) and the HairMax lasercomb (right). In this article, the pros and cons will be discussed of the lasercomb and the Oaze laser helmet.

Using this kind of therapy to counteract hair loss, it is important that the rightfrequency laser is used. Various scientific studies have shown that lasers around 650 nm should be used. This applies to both the lasercomb and the Oaze laser helmet. The Oaze laser helmet  uses different wavelengths around 650 nm.

According to scientific studies, LLLT can be used by both men and women against hair loss and for prevention of hair loss.

How does this technology work?
The laser light improves blood and lymph circulation of the hair, it also stimulates the follicular cells. The laser penetrates the tissue of the scalp and stimulates the microcirculation of the blood supply to the hair follicle. These processes can lead to healthier, thicker and stronger hair. By means, LLLT may improve the condition of the scalp, in some cases this may even lead to regrowth of  hair.

How are these products used?
The Oaze laser helmet is just like an other helmet that can be put on the head. The Oaze laser helmet should be used at least 2 times per week for 18 minutes. As an additional feature, the Oaze laser helmet has a massage function to stimulate blood circulation of the scalp.
The lasercomb should gradually be moved over the head for 15 minutes. It is recommended to do this every second day, which equates to about 3 to 4 times a week.

What else can you do with these products?
Many hair transplant clinics recommend that lasercomb or laser helmet after a hair transplant. In this way the recovery is stimulated and thereby it stimulates regrowth. It is for both the laser helmet  and lasercomb very important that the products does not have any contact with the scalp before the scalp is fully recoverd.

How many lasers do both products contain?
The lasercomb contains 7, 9 or 12 lasers. The Oaze laser helmet contains 63 lasers. The laser helmet thus contains 5-9 times more than the lasercomb does, with a similar treatment time.

Comparison of the Oaze laser helmet with the HairMax lasercomb
The great advantage of the Oaze laser helmet compared to the lasercomb is the larger number of lasers. Advantage of the laser helmet is also the ease of use, there may be actions performed while undergoing the laser treatment. The Oaze laserhelmet contains also a scalp massage functionality.
The HairMax lasercomb is however cheaper than the Oaze laserhelmet.
The Oaze laser helmet and the HairMax lasercomb are both discrete and robust to store.
