Laser
Helmet Comparison Table
Professional vs. DIY Home Made |
The table
is made by the request from over 50 e-mails to us. We are not intending
to criticize or challenge anything. We are just writing down the
truth of laser. Any sincere and scientific discussion
is mostly welcomed.
Please refer our Power
Test Report for
the related laser modules.
As an LLLT manufacturer, we produce medical grade devices with safety
and effectiveness for clinical applications and home therapy. We despise
the manufacturing of cosmetic laser toys disguise to be the LLLT devices. |

Remarks: |
|
We
strongly recommend the sufficient laser dose is the key point
for the success of laser hair therapy from our long term experience
in manufacturing professional and home therapy LLLT (low level
laser therapy) devices.
Due to the lack of the resources and the technical support, the
home made laser helmet is actually not cost effective and risky
in operation.
We do admire the contribution from the original home
made laser helmet makers for their unselfish effort and time in
promoting the LLLT for hair loss treatment. But, please read our
sincere comments before making your own laser helmet. |
|
|
|
As FDA-CDRH
(Center for Devices and Radiological Health)- 21CFR1040.10 procedure
for measuring laser output. |
|
|
|
The
choice to apply the laser module used in the laser pointer
is based on the cost and
the technology. |
(1) |
The cost of 5 mW laser module (actual
power 0.5~4 mW) is < USD
2 /pc purchased from laser modules or laser
pointers manufactures. |
(2) |
The technology to produce industrial grade
laser module > 50 mW power takes long term effort and
budget. |
(3) |
The power test is tested by certified
laser power meter from 100 pcs of laser module supplied by
AIXIZ. |
|
|
|
|
To
obtain biostimulation effect to the follicles, the hair laser
device must have: |
(1) |
Moderate laser power
density to reach the follicles. |
Note-(a) |
A collimated 2 ~ 5 mW laser
module with small Laser Beam Spot Size (ex. 0.06 cm²) is very
dangerous for human's eyes because of its high power density
(33 ~ 83 mW/cm²). And, must be very careful to control the
laser dose (treatment time) to avoid hurting the treating
tissues include the follicle. |
Note-(b) |
A dispersion 2 ~ 5 mW laser
module is applied to the treating tissue from distance (ex.
2 cm),the power density will be too low and can not penetrate
the tissue to have the very little effect. |
(2) |
Sufficient emission laser beams to cover
the scalp. |
(3) |
Enough delivered laser dose in the reasonable
time (15~30 minutes). |
|
|
|
|
We
are providing 90 days money back guarantee is based on: |
(1) |
Normally,
the hair laser therapy needs 3~6 months to see the result
of the hair regrowth. But, the user can easily see the difference
after 4~8 treatments like fewer hair loss, not so oily, no
more itching etc. |
(2) |
If the laser therapy has no effectiveness
for the user's hair loss in 3 months (90 days), it is the
waste of user's time and effort to have more laser therapy. |
