After two plus years, my before/after pics

[Greg1]

Here's a link to my before/after pics as I've been asked enough for them :freaked2: Even though I had posted this link before in other discussion threads, apparently not many saw it. So, for everyone that wanted to see them, here they are

At the very least, you'll see that my hairloss has stopped :!:

hmmm...sorry man it looks the same to me. I don't see any improvement whatsoever.

 

[vogs]

Mmm looks like the temples improved a bit, but the top doesn't show a lot of improvement.

Good thing I didn't throw down a wad of cash for that LaserComb.

Thanks for posting those greg. I would say I do see improvement in the areas where there is hair. In the areas where no hair exists I don't see any improvement. In the areas where there are no hairs the fda approved propecia will not even bring that back. Minoxidil might stand a chance, but I would say this is hairloss that has progressed for quite some time (I don't mean that in a bad way). Is this correct greg?? Unfortunately, in areas that are slick bald there is little that will bring anything back there (especially if it has existed that way for quite some time). I would def say that in the areas where there is hair improvement has occurred, especially in terms of thickness.

Thanks viperfish 8) You're right about my hairloss in the areas where I have it being that way for a while. I started losing my hair when I was in my mid to late twentys. I'm 41 now. The area that has really surprised me though for gaining more hair, is the very front of my hairline. It's become much more improved there than before treatment. One of the other BIG encouragements for me that has resulted from conistent use with this treatment, is that my scalp condition has improved so much. I no longer have to battle dandruff AT ALL!

Well guys you need to consider something...the pics do not look worse. All of you are pretty much saying no improvement but do any of you see loss? I would consider that a success myself. How many guys on here would kill for stopping the loss?

If I saw more posts such as this I would begin to consider the LC a viable alternative to Propecia. But there would certainly have to be many more considering the large amounts of negative no result posts that have yet to be outweighed by the positive to any significant level.

Not that I am in any way taking away from your success Greg1, just sayen.

As for this LC post, I would have to say congrats to Greg1.

 

[Greg1]

Thanks Cassin. Your point is well taken. I don't think that I've ever stated that my use of the LC has given me bushy, thick hair and that all of my lost hair has grown in by use of the LC :roll: BUT your point is really what I've noticed as well and that is that my hairloss has stopped!!! That is the bottom line for me :wink:

Well, you've been losing your hair for 20 plus years... You've been using the LC for only 2 and you say it has completely stopped your hairloss. Thats 1/10th of your hairloss battle. I'm inclined to believe that your hairloss has just stopped on its own. We don't lose our hair forever, after a certain point, it just stops shedding. Point and case, my father is bald (Norwood 5) and has had the same hairline for over 10 years. He started balding in his late 20s too. He lost most of in about 5 years. Then it just slowed down and eventually stopped. He never used any hairloss products.
If, for example, you were 25, started losing your hair at 20 and have stopped your hairloss for 2 years with the LC, I would be much more impressed.

Sceptecism aside, do you sincerely believe it has thickened the existing hair you have? I am a diffuse thinner and would like to thicken what I have. Been considering the LC. If it works, the price is worth it.

 

[Juan Carlos Mederra]

rent the comb if u wanna give it a shot...i did...and they forgot about it. lallalala
hehe...but so far it didnt do anything for me. been using it for 4 months.
it might have a thickening effect, which lasts a couple of hours. but hairgrowth= nada

 

[MrNatural]

I have to agree with Juan, I'm not seeing anything from those pictures.

 

[Greg1]

20sometingtoo, I'll do my best to answer your questions.

"do you sincerely believe it has thickened the existing hair you have? I am a diffuse thinner and would like to thicken what I have. Been considering the LC. If it works, the price is worth it."

Yes, I do believe that it really has thickened the existing hair that I have. Also, I'm not the only one that believes that as my partner, family, friends and barber also believe that my hair looks, feels and is much fuller and healthier than it was before treatment. One of the things that has really changed for me since the beginning of treatment is that I no longer have the problem dandruff that I had before

I have been using the comb for about 9 weeks now and can say that it has thickened my hair slightly. I hope the results continue and I am fairly confident they will. Most users are supposed to see some improvement between 8-12 weeks and then supposed to see marked improvement within the following 2 months. I believe I am seeing exactly what is supposed to happen at this point and within the next couple of months will know for sure. My scalp and hair also feel great at this point and my hair seems to be growing faster. I have alot of confidence in cold beam laser therapy as I have done alot of research on it. I don't buy into when people say they know tons of people that have not had success with it. Number one that particular person does not know tons of people that have not had success with it. If they do know someone it is probably just one person. Read the forums and you will find quite a few people that have had zero success with propecia and minoxidil, which are FDA approved. This does not mean that these two products do not work.

Guys do some research and tell me that cold beam laser therapy is not a good thing for male pattern baldness. I also think the fact that the lasercomb is already approved in Canada for regrowth, maintaining, reducing inflammation, and thickening hair is most promising of all. This is more than you can say for anything else available for male pattern baldness, besides of course propecia and minoxidil. I'm not promoting the lasercomb, but guys do some research on this and decide for yourself. I guess I don't like it when this theory gets bashed, especially when people don't know what they are talking about. Example "My sister's brother's cousin's uncle used the lasercomb for 2 months and it did nothing for him. This sh*t is bogus and a scam!". That kinda thing.

Greg,
My barber has also noticed my hair has thickened greatly.

 

[Greg1]

viperfish, I'm pretty sure that if you have taken before pictures, that your after pics in another few months will show improvement. From what I can tell about your hairloss, it is not advanced and so the LC will be able to thicken your existing hair as well as promote better and fuller growth where it's lacking.

Since my hairloss was already advanced when I started treatment with the LC my current pics won't look as promising as say someone like you. Even though I personally am very impressed with what the LC has and continues to do for me, others who are critical of the LC are probably more inclined to believe before/after pics from you with not as much advanced hairloss. MHO

I'll probably get in trouble for saying this but honestly some of you guys are real wankers.

You can see his hairline has not regressed which in my books is something to be happy about.

Also there is no way anyone here could possibly know for sure that hair was not going to continue retreating so to say that "the hairloss has stopped on its own" is idiotic. Also to say that stopping hairloss is 1/10th of the battle is idiotic.

I didnt imply that stopping hairloss is 1/10th the battle. If you re-read my post I was suggesting that he's only been using the LC for 1/10th of the time since his hairloss began.
Also, how many people do you know walk around with no hair on their head? I mean, zero hairs, no hair whatsoever, not even on the side. Not many, in fact none, minus those with disease or those whose shave their heads. Thats because when men bald, they lose their hair until a certain point, and then their hairloss just stops. They're left with a ring of hair around their head and it stays that way for the remander of their lives. Implying that hairloss continues for life would suggest that anyone who's 70 years old and started balding in their 20's wouldnt have so much as 3 hairs left on their head.

 

[Red Rose]

We don't lose our hair forever, after a certain point, it just stops shedding. Point and case, my father is bald (Norwood 5) and has had the same hairline for over 10 years. He started balding in his late 20s too. He lost most of in about 5 years. Then it just slowed down and eventually stopped. He never used any hairloss products.
If, for example, you were 25, started losing your hair at 20 and have stopped your hairloss for 2 years with the LC, I would be much more impressed.

So what you are saying is that we should be sceptical in our interpretation of results from someone Greg's age (and who have been losing their hair for 20+ years and started treatment 2 years ago) because it is more than likely that their hair loss had stopped anyway.

Well maybe you're right but I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. In fact I agree entirely with everything Cassin said. :lol:

 

[20sometingtoo]

My point is that the pictures dont show much improvement. Rather, as Greg said himself, that the LC has helped to stop his hairloss. But at 20 years into his hairloss, the rate of loss has probably come close to a halt on its own.
I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just playing the devils advocate here. I want to believe the LC works. It could help me greatly.

I would def say that in the areas where there is hair improvement has occurred, especially in terms of thickness.

If you were to invent a cure it would def have to bring back the hair in the slick spots and then do a maraculous job or motivating vellus to enlarge. I've been experimenting with topicals and I'm glad to say my slick spot right at the tip of my original hairline has vellus hair now thanks to the topical application of anti-inflammatory nutrient/mineral lotion I made. Greg, you might want to try min with proxiphen or try something cheaper like this product http://www.vitacost.com/store/products/ ... Text=jason% .It might take another ten years but I really think this approach will deliver over time.
