Has anyone here tried red light treatment for hair growth? Did it actually work? Do you use a comb or one of those sci-fi looking helmets?

I’m considering it, my dermatologist suggested it as an option. The units are just so expensive.

    I’m an air head today. I read this as hair removal and gave my opinion on my Philips Lumea.

    I think you mean red light therapy, which isn’t a laser. I also have a hooga. I use it for muscle inflammation mostly. I’ve heard it’s good for skin aging, I haven’t noticed any difference on that front. I also notice it helps my winter depression ever so slightly.

    And I haven’t had any noticeable difference for my hair. It’s not any thicker, healthier, etc.

    I have no idea if there’s places you can use one to try it a few times before you buy it. They are stupid expensive. For what I use it for, it took like 10 weeks to remotely feel like it’s doing something. No clue if the air growth takes that long.

    I’m surprised a derm wouldn’t give you an rx for minoxidil.
