Latest?? Invention to prevent baldness
Sooner Steve:
I was at home during the lunch hour watching the local news. They had a piece on there called Health Watch and they were previewing a new laser hair regrowth technique. It seems the report centered on a new laser treatment that was applied to the thinning area, usually the crown of the head, and exposed to laser beams for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Somehow, the laser beams were absorbed partially by the hair follicles which stimulated growth.
The doctor being interviewed said there previously was a comb that did the same thing but you had to comb the thinning spot for a minimum of 20 minutes daily to get any positive effect. Patients were complaining about stiff arms and did not do it daily.
Now the procedure involves multiple visits on a weekly basis to the dermatologist to sit under a laser for 30 minute sessions. You sit in a dentist chair and the laser surrounds the top of your head. According to the doctor, this lasts about 48 to 52 weeks. Then you are reduced to once a week.
However, other doctors interviewed were very skeptical about the success because they presented no scientific data to support the regrowth.
I just found it interesting and thought I would put this procedure up for discussion. Someone on here may have tried it - if so, I would love to hear your story either good or bad.
I am not being critical of anyone who wants to stop hair loss. That option is one anyone can take. However, as I enjoying my 41st day of slyness. I am happy with the road I took.

They must have been doing a review on the Hairmax Laser Comb. There's been a discussion on this a while back (http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=80), but it would be interesting to hear everyones thoughts on this thing.
Sooner Steve:
Tyler: Now that you mentioned it, I think they did call it the Hairmax Laser Comb. Most people supposedly complained that it was too heavy to use for 20 minutes. I had never heard of it. Just thought it was interesting.
Not long ago I was one of those people who was not happy with my look. Now I am. :@`
