Laser Emission Method
 |
Direct Irradiation
5 independent laser beams are EVENLY dispersed with
laser scattering devices.
|
Direct Irradiation
9 collimated laser
beams that are neither converge nor diverge along
theirs length, resulting in very small coverage area.

| Effectiveness |
| Laser
Biostimulation |
Positive effect for most users |
Possible for few users |
| To biostimulate the follicles,
the hair laser device must have: |
 |
moderate laser power density to
reach the follicles. |
|
sufficient emission laser beams to cover the scalp. |
|
enough delivered laser dose in
the reasonable time (15~30 minutes). |
|
| Therapy
Protocol |
2~3 times per week,
HB-850A: 30 minutes
per treatment
HB-850B: 15
minutes
per treatment

Leakage |
Very Minimum with
reflection shield
No power loss with direct laser diodes. No mirrors, no lens. Advanced
laser scattering devices evenly disperse 5 laser beams.
Please note: The
handheld unit must be held to closely contact the scalp. |
Big Quantity
with comb
Loss of laser power from reflection and refraction. Generally lasers
lose 30%~50% power when reflected and refracted.
