Clinical Study Non-Vellus Hair Density Macro Images

At baseline, a circle approximately 1 inch in diameter, positioned in the transition zone of the scalp, was identified as the site for hair clipping and tattooing. Within this site was the target area for the hair density evaluation during the laser hair growth treatment. Subjects were evaluated at baseline, week 8, week 16 and week 26. Digital images captured by FUJI S2 were taken of the target site within the clipped area following the site preparation. A 19-inch monitor was used for blinded evaluation.

Clinical Studies

The clinical studies included males & females between the ages of 25-60 yrs. with a diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia who had been experiencing active hair loss within the last 12 months. The inclusion criteria for males required a Norwood- Hamilton classification of IIa to V and Fitzpatrick skin types I to IV. The inclusion criteria for females required a Ludwig (Savin) classification of I-4, II-1, II-2, or frontal. 

All subjects were randomized for laser hair loss treatment analysis. A biostatistician calculated the study to be of a proper size to gauge statistically significant results of hair growth and hair density. Subjects were instructed to use the laser hair growth treatment device three times per week on non-consecutive days, 10-15 minutes per treatment for a total of 26 weeks. Hair density measurements were performed at baseline, at 16 and 26 weeks. Additional clinical visits were scheduled to monitor the laser hair loss treatment progress and overall hair growth. 

Below are the benefits participants experienced in clinical studies using Hairmax® Laser Devices after 26 weeks of use. (Ongoing treatment is required to maintain these benefits.) 

  • Significant hair growth.
  • Reversal of the thinning process.
  • Increased density and fullness.
  • Avg. hair count increase: 129 hairs / sq. in.
  • A substantial decrease in hair fallout.
  • Increased rate of hair growth.
  • More manageability of the hair.
  • Overall better hair quality and condition.

2014 – Results of 4 clinical studies in males and females

Published in April 2014 in the peer review medical journal, The American Journal of Clinical Dermatology.

Key Conclusions

  • Statistically significant increase in terminal hair density (thickness)
  • Higher percentage of LaserComb treated subjects reported overall improvement of hair loss condition and thickness and fullness of hair
  • Increase in hair counts was comparable to short-term clinical trials of 5% minoxidil (Rogaine) and 1mg/day finasteride (Propecia)
  • No serious side effects
