Theradome Laser Helmet Review – A 120 Day Continuous Journal
When people review hair loss products I rarely see some real effort put into it. I am going to do a real 120 day live journal that will end up doubling as a comprehensive Theradome Laser Helmet review. My initial thought is to give you a detailed summary of each and every experience I have with it as well as include a picture of my crown and general top of scalp area. Also, just so you know I am not a fake person, I will take a picture with the name of the first person who asks me to in the comments! I will also post this in the forum so that others can do a similar journal with their Theradome experiences. So, without any further ado, lets begin.

Theradome Laser Helmet Review – Day 1
Above is a picture of the device on the charger. When I got the it, I was I really excited to just get going and use it, but unfortunately it needed to be charged before I could do anything. BUZZKILL! So I attached my foam fittings to the side of the Theradome and ATTEMPTED to set it on the charging cradle. Yes, I capitalized ‘attempted’ for a reason. My Theradome charging cradle seemed to be a bit limp :/ After having to fiddle with it for a few minutes, it finally began to glow orange as you see above. I expected that I would have to charge it, but I didn’t expect to have to actually leave it on the charger for the full recommended 2 hours before being able to use it. It took a full 2 hours before that light turned green and I know I am just an impatient person but that was a loooong two hours.
My hair is diffusely thinning from my vertex to the very front of my scalp. I have been battling for about a year and 3 months. I am one of the lucky ones who noticed it early so I have had a good chance of putting up a fight. Anyway, the helmet has a built in proximity sensor under the “pressure point cage” that lets the lasers know when the helmet is actually on your head so they can begin the treatment. I pressed the button, heard a nice little robot voice come out of the Theradome’s built-in speaker (made me think I was going crazy the first time I heard it) and I was at the beginning of my first in-home low level laser therapy treatment. The “pressure point cage” I was referring are to are the little blue rubber spikes that are shown in the picture below.

The only reason I stopped to make a point about those rubber spikes is because they do not fee like rubber when you have a two pound helmet above it putting weight down directly on the top of your scalp. I understand they are intended to generate added blood flow to the scalp which makes perfect sense to me. I can stand a little discomfort for added efficiency. Theradome mentions in their F.A.Q that one with a lot of hair should wet their hair before using so as to get full penetration with the 80 laser diodes. As you can tell from the pictures above, my hair is not terribly long but I wet my hair anyway and combed it with the large part of my comb in order to spread my hair proportionally. I used this helmet twice today and I plan on using it twice a day, three days a week. The website clearly states that its okay to do this and others have reported success without side-effects. I consider myself a risk taker so what the hell? Why not try to grow my hair back faster if possible, right? I guess we will find out. My Theradome laser helmet review will continue in roughly 20-30 days. Stay tuned folks!
Theradome Laser Helmet Review – Day 5
I received my helmet on 1/13/2014 and have been doing treatment twice a day, since that day. Today is 1/18/2014 and I stopped in to address a couple questions I received in the comments below. A few of you wondered if it was okay to do treatments twice a day and I want to address those concerns but first I want to stop and make it clear that anything I say is purely conjecture. Now that I made that point, allow to make my case. First things first, is my only reason for attempting this is because of claims made by Theradome themselves. I do not dispute them because my collective research of LLLT, Laser helmets, and Photobiostimulation suggest the same thing. Below is the claim that I have been referring to, I hope this helps to clear things you for you guys 🙂 Maybe even help us all grow our hair faster and better. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ WHAT I SAY AFTER THE PICTURE AS WELL!

Other research Ive done involving laser helmets like the ones found on OverMachoGrande.com suggest the same. That website has a LOT of collective data involving LLLT so if you want to learn some real scientific research done, that should point you in the right direction. Not only one mans opinion either. There is a forum associated with his website where many, many men have made similar claims that using a laser device (as long as its not too strong) more often is more effective. Of course there are always radiation concerns when it comes to this kind of subject (at least it crossed my mind) but in the end, the FDA deemed this wavelength safe and I am sure the mere 80 diodes in the Theradome is not enough to over-saturate your scalp with lasers. The lasercap has over 200 laser diodes and some men use that every day from what I have read.
The Method Behind My Madness!
After all the research I have done my mind became loaded with information. One day my brain organized it all and this is my feeble mind makes sense of my madness. At the very source of all this research is the theory of Photobiostimulation. A two-dollar word for something that means “using light to make blood flow”. When it comes down to it, using lasers to grow hair is just a scientific way to exercise your scalp. I appreciate my fitness and natural athleticism and there is one thing I can tell you about those two things, when you do not exercise them, the end up fading away. However, when you do exercise them, and in-fact, the more you exercise them the better they got. Where am I going with this? I am saying that the more you exercise your scalp the better it will become at what you are specifically targeting… GROWING HAIR! Of course, there is a flip-side. If you do not exercise for a long time and then all of sudden start exercising, you run the risk of “shocking” your muscles. In this case, your scalp. I would expect my hair to fall out in large numbers going at the rate I am going IF AND ONLY IF I had not already been massaging my scalp for a half hour twice a day before this point. I did this for about two weeks in preparation for my putting my plan into action. AGAIN, everything I just said was theoretical but I am a gambler by nature and I pushed all-in on growing my hair back with this hypothesis I formed because objectively speaking, my hair is all going to go eventually at this rate anyway so I may as well push my chips in and try to double up (literally!). I don’t recommend anybody follow me until you see what results I yield. At least there is some jackass willing to push it to the limit and tell you guys about it 😀
Theradome Laser Helmet Review – 3 Months Later
It took me a while to get back in the game on this and I have my reasons, trust me. First of all I appreciate everyone who commented and stopped by to read in on this. I know you are all anxious to hear the outcome, as was I to see it! Unfortunately, there are no results to speak of. And I stuck by my procedure to a religious (fault) manner. All I can say is that for sure, is that the ORIGINALLY promised results on the Theradome website have been changed! None of those expectations were met and that was the first give away. Can you imagine if I had actually tried to go by their suggested treatment method? It could potentially taken years to see results. A good sales pitch is like a hot girl, it awesome to think about but once you take her for a test drive (the sales pitch or the chick at this point) you find out quick that if the salesman or hot girl lied about anything at all, they most likely lied about EVERYTHING. Sure it seems harsh, but its the truth, especially with internet trends like kickstarter to provide a free sales pitch for everyone that make it seem credible. Upon my dissatisfaction with the Theradome laser helmet, I proceeded to get a refund and return my unit. I emailed Jenae, Theradome Customer service representative, and I was given some terrible thought out, non-educated, two-bit response. Our correspondence looked like this
ME:
Theradome,
After nearly 2 months of daily treatment, I have experienced little to none of the promised results. As of treatment 18 there is supposed to be a “noticeable” decrease in shedding and here I am on treatment 43 (ive been doing them daily) and I am thinner up top than the day I got the Theradome and have pictures to prove it. I would like to return my unit for a refund. Please provide me with whatever return authorizations are necessary and thank you for all of your assistance.
Jenae ( Theradome ):
Keep in mind that everyone gets results at a different pace, since everybody’s body is different. There are many factors that can slow down results including illness, chronic disease, genetics, etc. Hair does not grow very quickly even when the body is 100% healthy and that is why it takes so long to see improvement. It takes at least 4 months for hair to grow on average, and for some it takes longer. Keep me posted on your progress.
ME:
Although what you say is true, it is a very generic answer. Especially to those who are educated on the matter. The theradome (if effective) should be restoring my follicles into the anagen phase of growth. I am well aware of the growth cycles of hair and the variables involved in everyBODY. The fact the my hair is still falling at an alarming rate means that my follicles are clearly still in the telogen phase. Regardless of how long it takes hair to grow (6 – 9 months as you stated) if the follicles are still in the telogen phase then it is moot how long it takes hair to grow because those follicles are not in the growing/anagen phase. Its pretty simple logic if you understand what you’re talking about.
I appreciate your help and I will keep you updated
I know what you’re thinking.. I’m kind of an ass. I know and I dont care. If somebody is selling you an idea but can’t use the logic necessary to uphold the idea then someone should let me them know how it is. Not let them just go about spreading lies to any idiot who will accept it. Anyway, after that email block I used the Theradome for almost a whole MONTH MORE before sending it back, and I got notta, zippo, zilch, moosetits. First, I got this normal kind of RMA type email from Jenae and didn’t think much of it. Except I took special notice of the bold words.
Jenae:
Please return your unit to the address below. Please note the refunds process can take up to 4-6 weeks to process a refund so please be patient. As soon as we receive your unit back we perform an inspection and follow it with paper work. I will let you know when your refund has processed through.
Those are what I like to call “shady” words. When pieced together the way the are, that is the type of context that sounds like, “we’re gonna cover our asses, and maybe bite off of yours”. Basically, I got paranoid they were going to say something was wrong with my unit and charge me a restocking fee or damage goods fee or something. SO, I did the smart thing and did an entire 3 minute video inspection of my unit. Then, when I finally sent it back, after two weeks I sent this email out.
ME:
hey Jenae, my tracking number shows my theradome was returned a little over 2 weeks ago. I was just checking in to make sure everything is going alright and possibly getting an ETA on my refund please. Thank you
Jenae:
I’m sorry for the delay on this reply. I am no longer in the customer service department so I will have our new customer service manager Mark check on your refund for you and get it expedited if all checks out okay. He will follow up with a reply and information
^^ See that, she did it again. Paranoia pays off. A couple weeks later, it had all stewed inside of me. That’s when I got fed up and sent this.
Jenae, its now been six weeks since sending the theradome back and nearly 4 weeks since emailing you. Mark has not since replied or let me know anything nor have I received any money back. Also since you keep saying things as ambiguous as “if all checks out”, i can assure you the unit was fully functional. I did my own video while testing my unit for functionality before sending back. Just in case there is any doubt, I have my own proof. Please forward this to mark and respond to me about my refund as soon as you can. I would appreciate your help.
I literally received a refund the next day. So, all-in-all, my Theradome venture was a giant failure. HOW ABOUT YOURS?!?
Twice a day? isn’t it too much? where did they calim its ok twice a day?
Hey Johnny, I updated the post above for you with my entire explanation. I hope that helps you man!
Hi
Are you sure it will be effective twice a day? how come you came to that Idea. I just got mine and was thinking using it 3x a week.
Don’f forget to make sure to loose you scalp…
keep us posted
I have been using the Theradome twice a week for the previous month. Going to start doing three times a week going forward. I post weekly photos at *NO LINKS*
Looking forward to see your results!
Any updates? I just found out about this and want to jump in while it’s $795 before it jumps up to $895! But as you were, I’m skeptical about it. What do you think, should I go for it?!
I will updating the article very soon with pics and more. I think you will be surprised what my result is… stay tuned folks!
also extremely interested in the outcome of this.
Check it out man, Its up to date! Pics comin later
What are the results? Good? Just bought one plsssss let me know!!!
I thought this was only approved for women?
It was. Supposedly, clinical trials had been done on men too they were just waiting for approval. I really hope it does work for women, because all of the mens reviews (including my own) are a total failure
I received one of the first ones it was broke and they refused to refund until 3 months later when I threatened chargeback. Then they refunded only partial ammount. They are crooks.
I purchased this theradome helmet for 795 + warranty and the protection bag, they gave me a helmet which is not charging at all. I email several times to the customer service but they don’t reply even once, I keep calling them to send me a return label but I don’t receive it yet until now. They customer service is too slow, I am not satisfied their service, they don’t give value the customers. I wish Dr. Hamim Tamid will help to give an emmidiate action for their customer service.
The Customer Service of Theradome is really slow and annoying, I purchased my theradome helmet since July. The product that they gave to me had a deffect it wont charging at all. I called them for requesting a label to return the helmet but until now I didnt receive yet . I keep email them but they didnt reply This is the worst customer service I encountered.
Every time I follow up to the customer service for theradome they always passing me to different person and they always giving me another 10 days to wait for the label. But this issue since month of July but until now it’s the same thing I’m waiting for nothing. They said I don’t have my address and tel. no. and email address in their system. I give up I can’t tolerate this anymore. To whom it May Concern please help and give an action for this customer service, this is the worst service I ever known.
Theradome Review: Poor Customer Service
Please beware of Theradome. The company has fine print that you need to register the product and buy extended warranty in the FIRST 24 hours of receipt. This is ridiculous !! Once you buy the warranty & the product the after-service suck. Good luck exchanging or canceling the product or service contract!
Note to anyone who may have purchased Theradome device: if you have problems with the device, and do not get satisfactory response from the company, we encourage you to file a report with ripoffreports (ripoffreports.com) preferably with you own contact details.
This would be useful for a possible future lawsuit regarding the device.
Thank you,
this gives you 440 joules in 20 minutes aka 400 watts of power dispersed over 20 minutes. So it must be allocating 22 joules or so per minute
thus .36 joules per second or 36mW. Thats extremely low amount of power despite the wavelength around 600nm, higher nm will penetrate deeper tissues, such as cold lasers that utilize between 750-905 nm, this is great for deeper pain and inflammation like arthritis and other bone or muscular disease.
People with lupus ( auto-immune disease) have to stay away from cold laser therapy, same thing for folks who take cortisone shots for their pain, it interfers with the laser.
Theradome doesnt penetrate deep so people with lupus can use it, the thing is, some auto-immune problems affect hair follicles. I would imagine these are the people that wont see positive effect from using theradome, since their immune system is affecting their hair line anyway.
I think the amount of power is too low, i could be wrong. The greater the power, the better the dosage. I know for a fact my hairline has shortened because of my hormones, i have thyroid issues. Until thats resolved, i wont be able to use the theradome, it would be counter-intuitive.
I used the laser comb to great results I have before and after pics which are unbelievable, however when I first used it I sent it back thinking it didn’t work, a couple years later I re ordered.
I have now bought the helmet because I’m tried of using a lasercomb, it’s exhausting as I use everyday, the hair needs feeding, I don’t think twice a week is enough
I know lllt works i have the best results on the Internet probably
If you want to see before and after pic emsil me
Bottom line be patient!!!!!!!
I have somewhat faith in this product but I’m not sure I will ever know because it never works MOST the time…it never charges correctly!!!! I contacted Mark .. I’m sure this is the same Mark from above conversations.. I asked to exchange for a functional item.. he said I’ll just send you a new cradle… this did not work.. I asked to exchange again.. he said it would be easier to just swap the battery out.. huh? open this thing up? ok,, the battery he sent me was not correct as it did not fit in the motherboard thing in the helmet correctly (should I even be doing this?).. he then sent me another batter and some sort of charger that does not plug into anything of theirs that I own.. the battery he sent me since day 1 wants to charge sometimes.. IT’S AS IF THIS HELMET IS CONFUSED.. SOMETIMES IT WILL CHARGE MOSTLY IT DOESNT.. MOSTLY BLINKS ORANGE RAPIDLY A LOT!! SOMETIMES I GET A COMPLETE CHARGE THAT LASTS ONE SESSION.. NOT THE PROMISED MULTIPLE SESSIONS.. SO I WOULD LOVE TO SAY THIS PRODUCT WORKS BUT I NEVER GET TO USE IT… FU MARK. I’m not even asking for my money back.. I’m just asking to exchange for a helmet that works!! but I can’t because dufus mark won’t for some reason. I’m stuck with a half ass product. .. malfunctioning from day 1 anybody else?
Hi
I am really desperate to restore my hair, I came across this Helmet and am hoping for good results. I see a lot of negative feedback especially with it’s functionality. Please tell me where did you guys order it from?
Don’t buy it ..it does not work!
Thank you! This really helped. After a lot of searching and reading up on this product I find it (sadly) to be a hoax, and probably wont work at all – all though I am a believer in Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT).
And their terrible customer service just confirm my suspicions. I mean, if this product truly was working they would have an easy, honest and problem free customer. Feels like their just hiding something and are fishy.
And from what I’ve read overall the product seems crappy, people are having charging problems and more.
Also, the “FDA proved” pitch does not prove a single thing, only that It’s not hazardous – not that it will give you your hair back. Pretty obvious maybe but I think a lot of people maybe put too much faith into it because of that.
Once again, THANK YOU. I’ll keep looking for a more reliable product, I’m sure there will be a better one that works soon.
/Peter .J from Sweden.
Makes sense dude from Sweden. Agreed with each of your points. This lady was smart to take pics and even a video before she mailed it in for a refund!
Spectral DNC-L from DS laboratories.
Hello! I’m very suprised with your response to the theradome. I initially started using the product 6 months ago, I was using it up to 3 or 4 times a day! first month went by and I saw no changes and I thought it was a total hoax, but slowly as the next couple months rolled around less and less hair started to fall out in my shower, also, my hair seemed to be thicker at the top as well, definantly a change! after trying almost EVERYTHING in the market, theradome has been seemed to be the most effective.
Hello Taylor,
after all that have been said about this useless product, there’s only one question that comes to my mind: “You’re from theradome team, aren’t you?” . Do you have some pictures to shall that miracle?
Hi Taylor,
I used ElectroTrichoGenesis ETC in past which stopped my hair loss and re-grew my hair and more. This machine is no longer available anywhere, at least not in my state. I had to stop using the machine due to pregnancy as I don’t know its effects on the fetus and wouldn’t take any chances. My hair was fine for almost 3 years (normal minimal hair loss) until now, it is severely shedding all over again. I do not have any underlying medical conditions.
When I started my search for it (ETC machine) again I came across so many negative comments about it (that it doesn’t work at all) but I am living proof that it really does. So I am very confused with this Helmet Laser, I don’t want to lose $ and at the same time I don’t want to lose out on a possibility of saving my hair.
Please help
Many thanks for sharing. Have you found some device effective for stoping hair loss and regrow ?
Rita
I have been using the Hairmax lazer comb for about 12 months once a day mostly, I have not seen any results. It has only about 12 LEDs on it and the device I have I use for 8minutes before it switches off.
I came to this site looking at the helmet but it seems to me its ineffective? I looked further on the Internet and noticed a guy making his own and talks about the bits you need and wavelengths that are used. Frankly I will not waste my money on these manufactured ones – not nearly enough power, number leds or the right wavelengths.
I used it, but only 2 times a week as recommended. With LLLT it’s about doing it but not overdoing it.
I used the iGrow laser too, I think both Theradome and iGrow work, but my problem with Theradome is the power cord failed, twice.
Not a big deal for some. For others, it’s just unnecessary frustration.
THANK YOU all of you for your posts!
I decided NOT to purchase this product. I hate bad costumer services and this item is clearly perfectly useless, not to talk of its poor manufacturing quality.
I am Leonard Stillman, Director of Professional Services at Lexington International, LLC, manufacturers of the HairMax LaserComb. This post is NOT for commercial purposes, but is to notify your readers of 2 landmark clinical papers that were published in April 2014, both authored by leaders in the treatment of hair disorders.
The first one appeared in the peer-review medical journal, The American Journal of Clinical Dermatology in April 2014. The article provides complete information on 4 studies with 225 subjects, which conclusively proved the efficacy and safety of the HairMax LaserComb in treating male and female pattern hair loss.
This article is entitled:
Efficacy and Safety of a Low-level Laser Device in the Treatment of Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Multicenter, Randomized, Sham Device-controlled, Double-blind Study
(Am J Clin Dermatol. 2014 Apr;15(2):115-27)
These were the results found in this study: “In four randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trials of male and female pattern hair loss, we detected a statistically significant increase in terminal hair density after 26 weeks of lasercomb treatment compared with sham treatment.”
Below is a link to the complete article:
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40257-013-0060-6
The second one appeared in the peer-review medical journal, The International Journal of Trichology in August 2014. The article provides photographic evidence of the efficacy of the HairMax LaserComb used on subjects treated for at least 9 months for drugs and were either no longer responding or were intolerant of these treatments. The HairMax LaserComb was added to treatments with either with minoxidil and/or finasteride regimens, or used in place of these treatment. Almost 90% of patients treated with drugs and the HairMax LaserComb had significant results, and 100% of those patients treated with the device in place of the drugs, showed significant results.
This article is entitled:
Use of Low-Level Laser Therapy as Monotherapy or Concomitant Therapy for Male and Female Androgenetic Alopecia
(Int J Trichology. 2014 Apr;6(2):45-9)
Below is a link to this study:
http://www.ijtrichology.com/article.asp?issn=0974-7753;year=2014;volume=6;issue=2;spage=45;epage=49;aulast=Munck
These 2 articles provide conclusive proof of the efficacy and safety of the HairMax LaserComb for the treatment of certain classes of hereditary hair loss in both men and women.
We invite your readers to visit our web site to see if the HairMax LaserComb is right for them.
A couple things:
1) You will want to clear up this discrepancy:
Your sub-headline says: “Theradome Laser Helmet Review – 3 Months Later”
Then, in the communication/complaint with the company you say “after nearly 2 months of daily treatment.”
2) I have no opinion on this device but not knowing how long you used the device–I feel your review lacks merit. Even your longest claim (3 months) is not an indication of a lack of success. AND, you can’t use ‘number of treatments’ as a replacement for ‘use over time.’ I’m sure that treating twice a day is fine but the scalp and follicles apparently need time–probably because it is effecting new growth, cycling in. I’ve read this:
Step 1: The first step is minimizing hair loss, which typically occurs 4-¬18 weeks into treatment.
Step 2: Reversing miniaturization is the next step to getting thicker, fuller and more lustrous hair and typically occurs within 18-¬26 weeks of continued use.
Step 3: The final step is renewing your hair growth, which typically begins within 26-¬52 weeks of starting treatment.
3) The reports of other’s bad customer service is telling to me. I queried the company on their web site about the power. My calculations were actually favorable to them and I asked for a reply–no reply. I’m wary of ANY online company who does not even acknowledge an inquiry. I don’t expect them to respond in detail to every question but to not just say, “Thanks for your question… blah, blah, blah.” Well! Is anyone home? I’ve learned the hard way not to do business with a company who does not reply. My experience and those comments warn me off dealing with this company. My judgement–I could be reacting unfairly.
I am a trichology salon and have sold many theradomes. Yes I have had a few returned due to charging issues and I think the company is dillengency working on the issues. They are a new company and will have hiccups but I met the inventor and he truly believes in his LLLT and so do I. I have had great successes and happy clients. If the laser has issues I take care of it for my client. I get it resolved right away. As far a customer service I can not comment because I don’t go through them. If you ever have a problem with any company save your selff the frustration go online and file a better business claim. I have never not had results on any product or service when I get them involved. Also if you can find a Trichologist in your area it will be very beneficial for your treatment.
We use a muiltitherputic Theraphy. Hair grows extremely slow. It takes time to see results. There is no little pill that will fix hair loss. It take commitment from the client to follow the plane very day. Your Hair to your scalp is like teeth to your gums.
I’m sorry to hear all the bad about Theradome but I have been very pleased with the results.
I believe there is one catastrophic factor that you have failed to account for. I have not used the Theradome yet, but i went into a reputable hair regeneration clinic recently and they advised that the Theradome is to be used in conjunction with Scalp Cleansing, nutrients, and Monoxodil. The sheer laser alone is not enough to strengthen the hair, especially in the amount of time you did this experiment for. Were you using other products in conjunction with the helmet? I am planning on trying this as it seems like the newest and most innovative way to get my hair back — the reputable hair clinic i went to today basically 100% guaranteed that my hair will grow back by using it.
Hi Matt, many thanks for sharing. I wonder if you find Theradome effective since May? I am considering to buy the laser helmet. Thanks! Rita
I’ve been using the iGrow for 3 1/2 months and some hair is growing in.
The iGrow is a helmet similar to the Theradome. iGrow recommends using it 20-25 minutes every other day and for maintenance, once weekly. QVC (where I bought it) customers are encouraged to use it for six months before determining it doesn’t work, but the manufacturer says most will see growth at around 4 months. It’s FDA approved for both men and women and FDA found 100% of those tested grew hair. For women, an average of 37% growth. Men 35%. That means some will grow more hair than that, some less.
Theradome says FDA approved their unit for women only, and waiting for approval for men. I suspect something wrong there since iGrow and Hairmax are approved for both men and women.
After about a month of using the iGrow, I did begin losing quite a bit of hair, but other users claim they did as well. It has slowed dramatically after 3 1/2 months. I understand this happens when using Rogaine, as well. Normal hair loss is about 150 hairs a day.
iGrow retails for $699. I purchased it on QVC for $545. QVC also has a 6-month, interest free, easy pay option. After six months, if no hair growth, return it for a full refund, except shipping both ways, although I received free shipping to my house. No questions asked. QVC sends refunds in about 1-2 weeks after receiving returns. QVC also sells the Hairmax comb for about $345 on easy pay as well. You won’t have problems with QVC as long as you return the product in the specified time. If interested you can go to QVC’s website to see demonstrations of both iGrow and Hairmax on video. No, I don’t work at QVC or own stock. Just an experienced customer for about 20 years.
iGrow is for those diagnosed with male and female patterned baldness, not medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism. It’s best to have your hair loss diagnosed before using laser treatment because it probably will not work if there is a health issue.
For those who have gray hair, mine is salt and pepper, more salt than pepper, it’s difficult seeing gray growth against pale skin. After careful inspection, I am able to see gray and dark hairs coming in; although growth isn’t coming in all over at the same time.
Before using iGrow, I started with Rogaine. Didn’t like the residue on my scalp. Felt dirty. Stopped when I started the iGrow. iGrow does say Rogaine can be used but doesn’t say anything about using Minoxidil or hair nutrients, but I might try them.
A common cause of failure is giving up too soon. Manufacturers say 4 months to see hair growth.
Hello folks. I have purchased the Theradome from one of the leading hair restoration clinics in Los Angeles. I have to admit I was sold that the helmet could help and it did. But I did a combination of treatments. I do not believe in Minoxidl nor propecia for separate reason. Number one Minoxidl or rogaine is a chemical compound that effects the body. It is a toxin and has been proven. Number two the reason I do not use propecia is because it clearly has a side effect on the male hormone level. I don’t know about any of you men but I enjoy ripping my wife a new one. So instead of using propecia I did my research on a dht blockers. I bought it at wholefoods its very popular I’d recommend it highly. But I highly encourage any male to understand what dht is all about. The reason propecia works is due to it blocking your dht hormone. Same applies to the wholefoods dht blocker. I began to experience weak erections and felt very emotional. I felt as if I were losing my man hood. But can honestly say that within 3 months of use of the combination of the dht blocker and the theramdone I had seen a decrease in hair lose to no hair loss at all. Made me happy to see my crown full of hair, Although I can not be certain if it was the dht blocker alone or the combination of the thermadome and blocker that caused the growth. But I am certain of this once I stopped the dht blocker for the reasons mentioned above immediately I began to lose all the hair that grew back. That was about a month ago. I continued to rely on thermadome alone but the results are no good. My crown looks worse then ever and my faith is run out. I am seriously thinking of going in for another hair restoration or even doing Platelet rich plasma therapy which from experience are the only real methods of gaining your hair back. Although LLLT is proven to work you need to go to a clinic where they shoot stronger low light laser then these helmets on the market. But my restoration left me with a new hair line and adds years to my appearance. This is my experience. Reply if you have any questions.
Theradome is a joke. They’ll tell you they have a 1% return rate, but it’s more like 1% think it works. Trust me, it doesn’t. The owner is as big a joke as the product. NASA scientist? Maybe that’s when NASA had all their failures!
I was on the edge of giving up and just shaving my head. I’m in my thirties and I had fun with my teasing mane:) However, then I looked into the hair transplants and even had a consultation. EXPENSIVE!! I found the theradome, it has worked great! I do it, wash with nioxin and use the treatments in addition. I do it every other day, but sometimes have missed a week here and there. I’ve had it for two years now. My hair went from stringy thin, when it had always been thick and curly, to much thicker and hardly any hair comes out in the shower. I know nioxin is legit, but I really think the theradome has worked too. Oh yeah, I also take good vitamins and biotin, saw palmetto extract, and others. The block DHT production. I have a double callouc so even when I was in high school with a huge mop my friends would tease me saying I had a bald spot so mine looked even worse coupled with the receding hairline. I noticed improvement, my hairstylist noticed significant improvement too. And she doesn’t BS. I think approaching it synergistically has been a wise choice and less expensive than $15,000 surgery. Although if I had the money to spare I’d totally do it just because I’m vain and it would give me my 20s hairline back:) Hope this helps. I am a straight shooter and am in no way affiliateted with any hair rest. company.
Thanks for posting this. very helpful to see a full discussion rather than someone raving about it after a week and saying nothing further. It’s funny, the original studies along these lines (done by a Vancouver doctor & sold, for a while, by a company called Current Technology) seemed very positive, but nothing I’ve seen since has shown any decent results.
Hi everyone. I am on the verge of buying a laser helmet but just cannot decide which one. Right now, its between Theradome and Capillus (maybe even the $2k one). I did briefly consider iGrow and iRestore but want something with a sufficient number of lasers. Problem is, I hate seeing so many bad reviews, and that applies to both products. But, I also wonder if people who experience positive results turn to the internet to express their satisfaction, or whether they are just happy and go on about their business. Personally (at least under normal circumstances), I wouldn’t take the time to seek out the appropriate forum in order to share my experience unless I was dissatisfied with the product or wanted to punish the company for bad customer treatment ( except on Amazon where it is easy to leave a quick review). Anyone feel the same? I just don’t want to get psyched out and concerned when I could otherwise be benefiting from a product while there is still time to see great, or at least decent, results. Has anyone tried the Capillud???
Note: my comment is in no way intended to question or disparage anyone else’s experience; these are just my thoughts on the topic.
Niko, I think regarding reviews – most people who are happy with the product, never leave reviews. However, people who are unhappy, go and let their frustration out a lot more. Also, I would only trust “verified purchaser” reviews. As you said it’s easy to leave a review EVEN when you did not buy on Amazon. That’s why you don;t know if those people actually bought the product.
I spoke with creator of iRestore, and he doesn’t recommend their product in late stages of hair loss… so what I took from that conversation is that for them, your satisfaction is very important. They’ rather you not buy their product, than buy and be unhappy. But you need to see which device is better fit for you.
Good luck
I purchased the Thermadome in January and have been using it for the past three weeks, added to my long term existing regimen of caffeine shampoo and topical Saw Palmetto, as well as isometric scalp exercises (many years with the latter). The coverage of the lasers does not appear to be uniform, but concentrated at points and lower level around these points. I am not sure whether this matters. I had been using the laser comb for several months in 2016, but this was becoming tedious, so I decided to use the Thermadome as this seemed to be more convenient. It is comfortable and easy to use, and I have been lucky in that it recharges without any problems, so far at least. I purchased it with my credit card, to offer extra protection if needed, and I managed to register it with the company, despite some initial problems on their website.
I had already experienced some regrowth of vellus hairs with my previous regimen, before I started using the Lasercomb, but some of the lighter vellus appears to have shed after 18 treatments with the Thermadome. This might be a co-incidence, but I will keep using the Thermadome for several months as I don’t have much to loose, and I may be very lucky and experience a rare breakthrough.
wow, after briefly reading everyones comments I’ve decided to not bother with any laser treatment. Everything sounds like a scam to me.
I have all the bloodwork I need and in the end, will just resort to accepting my condition and living with it. Worse case scenario would be hair piece. I appreciate everyones comments especially the guy that posted his everyday experience from when he received Theradome. That totally changed my thoughts on laser treatment. (savings over $1,100 Cd.)
If I was a guy I would just go with SMT (permanent tattoos) by His Hair Clinic.
Good luck all…
