3 Years Of Using Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) For Hair Loss - My Results.

- I started using low level laser therapy for my hair loss 3 years ago and in this video I want to share how it's went for me along with my thoughts on using low level laser therapy (LLLT) when trying to prevent hair loss.
The device I mentioned in this video was the iRestore Professional series laser helmet. Though I was a bit critical about them posting a review featuring my pictures and a quote I did not give, I do like the product and think for some people it my work well.
First video testimonial I've watched on this where I feel it is truly genuine and honest, thank you
Ageed. I appreciate that. He called out the company for doing what I consider something that is really shady, which is misrepresent his pictures and quote. The company also pulled their money back guarantee, and they now charge what is essentially a restocking fee so between that, and the tax they somehow say they are entitled to keep if you were ensuring the product, you would end up spending about $600 to have tried out the product for a year if you buy the most expensive cap which on sale is about $2100. I’m not about to give this company $600 and return the product so they’ve lost a potential customer. The fact that they’ve changed their guarantee makes me wonder if a lot of people are returning the products. That’s usually when return policies are changed. And if a lot of people are returning the products, that makes me question whether they even really work.
Thank you for being straight forward and honest! So hard to find that these days.
I appreciate the honesty and the straight forward talk, UA-camrs tend to miss on those things . I was actually thinking of using the exact product you used since the first time you uploaded it, bit it was a “bit” pricey so i had to search for other way, now that i’ve seen that there is no actual cure for this, i’m gonna have to accept it and not bother anymore. Welcome to the club . 💪🏻 , also congrats on the 100k subs. You deserve more.
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Your comment sounds like an ad to me.
@@Rikimkigsck ad for what? I havent used anything
There is a cure Minoxidil and Finestride.... Ignore the massive fear mongering behind it. It's less than 1% chance of having ED symptoms or low libido... I got on it years ago and I had NO hair at the crown. It isn't fully covered again but it looks and has kept looking like I just began to lose hair not that I had completely lost it before.

Honestly this just sold me on going bald. Thank you.
Thanks for the honest video mate. I know its tough to point out flaws of a product of people you have worked in the past with.
You bet! Thanks for watching
Thjank you. I watched 5 videos and this was the first honest one.
Appreciate the honesty review!
All the money and time spent making little to no hair gains. Good honest review.
Glad to see a new video. Agree, really scummy of I-restore to use deceptive tactics to sell a product.
What deceptive tactics?

Plus, they no longer offer a moneyback guarantee. They charge a restocking fee and keep the sales tax, so if you buy the most expensive cap, and find that it doesn’t work and wanna return it within the first year, they keep $600 of your money! Oh, and you have to pay to return it. So when a company changes their return policy, it’s usually because of a lot of returns so that makes me question whether this Product really works at all. The majority of people with videos about it on here are either sponsored or got the product for free and only this gentleman and a lady in her 70s, I have really spoken honestly. Everyone else kind of just says what you would expect, which is nothing negative.
This hair loss and hair thinning is so difficult and frustrating
After a couple years of use of lasers one can cut down to maintenance use. Just once or twice a week, 20 minutes at a time will suffice to help prevent further loss. And some kind of anti-androgenic topical will help, e.g. saw palmetto, beta sitosterol, dutasteride, etc
0:53 this just answered it for me and many I think, thanks.
Love the honesty. Thanks
Fun fact: one guy decided not to wear the iRestore helmet in the evenings and used those 12 minutes every day for acting. Over the years, those 12 minutes a day added up to several reasonably good movies.
His name was Jason Statham.
and still gets Brutally mogged by the average guy with hair
he is carried by status. If you didn’t know who he was, he would be some random baldy you’d make fun of lo
@@maalikserebryakov no one makes fun of bald people, only you. if you go around looking for reasons to make fun of people you have some insecurity issues. people make fun of THAT because its a lot more obvious than you "don't think it is"... and THAT IS the funny part.
The trick is to catch it early don’t wait for bald spots to show up
Have you heard of Ashley Black’s fascia blasters? I am a licensed massage, therapist & bodyworker. After researching her products years ago, and now understanding them, I believe they are very beneficial to the body. The face fascia blaster is very small. It can be used on the scalp to break up overgrown fascia on the scalp to help restore hair growth. If you are not familiar with this area, I would recommend reading her book that she wrote. It’s very educational.
I have enjoyed watching your videos over the years and have just recently looked you back up and happened across this video. I would be interested what you found using this and making a video on your results.
Shouldn't focus too much on how much hair you shed. Male pattern baldness doesn't just toss out your hair, it makes them gradually thinner and weaker over a period of time until they become no longer visible at all. I'd worry only if you notice the shed hairs are getting smaller.
In fact if you recently started a new treatment, shedding can actually be a good sign as it means the roots of these hairs might have been kicked into new growth cycles. Yo-yoing between starting and stopping treatments is probably the worst you can do if you worry about shedding.
In the end the only reliable way to tell if it works or not is using the mirror. And even then you need to be patient. Hair cycles take a long frigging time. It can take months or even years before the final results are there. It's a long game commitment.
Honesty is so refreshing. Really nice to hear your truthful story? Very rare these days . . .
I'd definitely settle for reduced shedding or halting any further progression of thinning
Great and honest video. Thanks!
I've been doing an exercise where i raise my eye brows, then contract the muscles in the back of my head (ones responsible for wiggling your ears) and then repeating this movement for 15-20 minutes. What this does is it pulls the scalp forwards when you raise your eye brows, then the back muscles pull the scalp backwards. It's very important that you use both muscles correctly. This encourages blood flow to the scalp area and stretches and promotes a loose scalp which arguably is the main cause of androgenetic alopecia to begin with(tight scalp leads to infllammation which leads to dht build up which strangles blood flow to the follicle and so on). I've been doing this exercise for 17-18 years and come from a family of all bald men and i still have a great head of hair. Worth trying and it's a great facial exercise as well as a side effect is less droop around your eyes as you age. I couldn't use the muscles in the back of my head when i first started, but about 6 months of occasional trying and i got there in the end. Highly recommend this exercise!
"This encourages blood flow to the scalp area and stretches and promotes a loose scalp which arguably is the main cause of androgenetic alopecia" says who? Its not doing anything trust me lol
@@superchampable I don’t think I will trust a random who doesn’t provide any form of evidence. I’ve found what works for me, I’m sticking with it.
@@andrewparker3689 androgenetic alopecia is genetics. Blood flow is not the reason hair falls out. While good circulation may provide some help to hair health raising your eyebrows up and down doesn't do anything🤣
@@superchampable that is a very simplistic understanding without any consideration of the myriad of other factors that go into it. It’s also a defeatist attitude that won’t get you anywhere. Like i said, I’ve found what works for me and I’m happy to help others, if they want it. You obviously don’t, please move along.
@@andrewparker3689 It sounds like you haven't started having MPB and its not because of your daily ear wiggles have prevented it but because your genetics haven't said its time. DHT will bind to and choke your hair follicles regardless of how many scalp massages, lllT sessions and minoxidil treatments you do. Sure, they may help increases blood flow letting that hair follicle hang on for a few more days but you are delusional if you think raaising your eye brows has any effect on hair loss. So many wackjobs and their hair lol
there might additionally be more decisive factors such as mineral & vitamin loss due to white flour & sugar consumption or stress as a cause... anyway an honest video, good to know, that hair loss keeps on w/o the magic hood !
Thank you for an honest review! That's not so easy to find on youtube.
Love the honesty
bro tnx for your honesty but actually I did not see any eye-catching change, it seems this device helps to make your hair thicker than before but it could not grow your hair on the empty area...
I am not saying it's not a good device maybe it is just a better alternative for Finstroid which has bad side effects.
Thanks for posting your experience. Did you think about combining it with other measures like Redensyl (The Ordinary Serum) while avoiding Finasteride and Minoxidil, and see whether that improves things further?
A very useful, clear and honest accounting of your situation
Thank you for te real stuff friend ❤
Very honest review for everyone. Really shady what Irestore did that was exploitative.
Thanks for honest review never trust these paid partnerships wonder why they still do it I mediately don’t buy anything that is from an influencers with paid partnerships
Great video thank you. Very honest
It’s too late for me, but how long do you have to wear it each time? Thanks for your honesty
You bet! You wear it every other day for 25 minutes.
@@SimpleManChannel Is it annoying to wear? Can you you not just stick it on for 25 mins watching a tv show or a film?
@@foghornfilms no, it’s not bad to wear at all. I usually do it will watching UA-cam.
@@SimpleManChannelis it very heavy? I have also seen stylish looking caps that have the lasers built in to the inside
@@therunawaykid6523 no, it’s pretty light weight
It’s very expensive so my question is , how long do these products last?
At least when the time comes, you know you look great with a shaved head!
Thanks man, that times coming soon lol
Did you use any other medication like finasteride or saw palmetto?
What do you think about Hairmax Laserband 82? They say it's only 90 sec. treatment and I think it's more convenient that wearing a cap if we're talking about a 'forever' treatment.
I don’t have any experience with it, sorry
I think @HotandFlashy did a review on that device.
I get that results with these are subtle at best, and appreciate that LLLT is probably best combined with other things such as massages/ blood flow work, keto shampoo, minoxidil even (if not fin or dut), but I'd be keen to know if solutions like this helmet or the laser baseball caps can realistically do anything if you have a thick'ish head of hair and a fringe (bangs) etc? My hairline is definitely going, but it's currently covered by hair mostly because my hairstyle means it's about mid-ear in length. Therefore I wonder if I would personally be better-off with an LLLT wand, and manually parting the hair in sections to make sure the light reaches the scalp? The only problem with that is, it would inevitably take a lot longer to concentrate the light in different sections of the head for long enough to make a diifference, so I'm not sure how long I would keep it up.
Hi, the lasers and LEDs will hit your scalp regardless off hair position, many women use these helmets.
Yea I still see good use in this product.. I use dutasteride with biotin.. I think with increased blood flow it could really benefit. I may even try it...
Have you tried rosemary oil and microneedling? I know those are proven to work methods. Maybe the combination of everything might help regain it all, you never know! It would be a cool experiment.
massage, microneedling, onion, garlic, rosemary oil, castor oil, probiotic etc.
I was thinking about buying irestore to make my hair stronger and thicker - do you think it work for that? Also, there is new irestore elite - does anyone know if it is worth the price? It is expensive as hell...
Dutasteride could help a lot.
If you don't mind a heart attack 😅
I wish you would have shown more before and after pictures instead of all the talk. You should have kept your hair the same color otherwise I do not see much difference in you before and after.
what a stupid comment
Damn son, make your own video if you think you can do better.
@@ffcsin It is not about me or this guy its about the effectiveness of this device, and I am not your son.

Hairtransplantation. Thats what i does. It was the best desission
did you have side effects using min or fin if you tried them?
You look Fabulous
Crowns are TOUGH!😢
Big question: what’s stopping you from getting a hair transplant??
You will just lose your hair transplant eventually too, then you will have scars all over your head. I’d rather just shave my head
@@SimpleManChannel I disagree. If you get the follicles from the correct area that is not affected by the male hormone then your “new hair” will stay in its new location for the rest of the patients life (if taken care of with simple methods, no monoxil needed) in 98% of cases.
It’s extremely rare if not unique that they eventually fall as well. But maybe I did not understand your answer.
Maybe you meant that you would have to do more hair transplants in order to avoid bold spots from the contrast between your new permanent hair and the ones that are indeed eventually gonna fall out?
@@SimpleManChannelNo, that's incorrect. If the hair is transplanted from the proper donor area, the transplanted hair will be permanent as the donor hair is DHT resistant. The only thing is that after getting a hair transplant, you can still lose hair in other parts of the scalp if you're not taking medical therapy (Minoxodil/Finasteride). Long story short, hair transplants DO work, I've had 2 and the results have been amazing.
@@SimpleManChannel It's ok if you don't wanna have a transplant ofc, but please don't spread misinformation. The donor follicles are from a safe area, one which is not DHT-sensitive. You don't lose that hair. Of course, if you're prone to MPB, you'll probably still need to use DHT blockers for a while, but that transplanted hair itself is not gonna fall.
@@SimpleManChannel Please do consultation with this 20years experienced Doctor. this Doctor channel is the most honest and opened information channel. The doctor has treated so many public figures, politician in India. Maybe you can try to consult with the doctor, because you have potential to transplant your hair with your beard (you have a nice beard). I'm planning it too. ua-cam.com/video/2uPsvxxBEXo/v-deo.htmlsi=uYeMa8m5qPCW9hcn
have u ever tried a derma roller. derma roller + minoxidil + red light therapy, might fix the crown area
I’ve tried all them together, it didn’t do a whole lot.
Were u on minox too during this period?
I used minoxidil for 3ish months but stopped because I thought it was causing some issues
You gotta use ketoconazol shampoo, finistrade/Dutastride, minoxidil with derma pen and you get all your hair back. Derma pen is drug free incase you worry about side effects
I thought you liked Keeps! Should I skip Keeps? I have the same hair loss as you.
I did like it, I thought it seemed to be working, I just started getting nervous about long term side effects
@@SimpleManChannel Oh long term side effects? Can you give me a few?
Seems like a massage or a massage machine ($50) could also stimulate blood flow in the scalp. But It's a whole lot cheaper to just accept your hair loss and get on with life. I would never spend money or time trying to make my hair grow. If you stop and think about it, nobody cares if your hair is falling out.
I tried one of those head massagers, I hated it to be honest
Is this red light therapy workable for genetic hair loss?
Have you ever used finasterideo or minoxidil or have you ever tried any other thing ?
You never tried rogaine? DHT blocker pills?
just start using topical finasteride to overcome the genetics (although oral fin is also proven to be safe)
Oral fin is better nobody has time to be using ten topicals jn addition to minoxidil lol.
Personally i am on dutasteride.
@@maalikserebryakov What’s the difference between dutasteride and finasteride
Il save my money and do scalp massages
My hair is not as bad, just at the front and some crown, started LLLT, (Capillus X) , last week, oral minoxidil going on 4 months, and Purador shampoo/conditioner
If you remember, please bookmark this vid and come at around Christmastime to let use know how you got on in your first year.
@@soots-stayingoutofthespotl5495 👍🏽
Just go to Turkey
You guys think Turkey is some kind of Cheat code or smth
Rogain n this would have probably been a good combo for you
it seemed to make your hair grey
I think If you can maintain your hair until your at an age where DHT production starts to drop, you should be able to stop
this looks like something out of Starwars
You were using Rogaine when you regrew your hair I remember
I used it for a 6 month period, after a year and a half
Hi mate, are u using minoxidil?
I only used it for 6 months during the time frame of this video. However I am currently using it now
@@SimpleManChannel so this time for real and for lifetime!
can you make a video with new information about what are you using?, looks good!
@@Super.Marioo yes, I will be soon!
How much
You need fin bro the helmet doesn’t cut it
which model did you use?
It’s the pro version
Is this your hair even with minoxidil?
I tried it for a bit then stopped. In this video it was about 9 months post using it. I did start using it again and it’s improved from where it was I this video.
@@SimpleManChannel ah I see. Why did you stop?
how did you apply this laser therapy?
The helmet has it built in. You wear it every other day for 25 minutes
Price ✔
$1,195 Only $795
With Today's Sale $2,000+ a little pricey
If you want to get one I have a discount code SM300 which will save you $300
a dermapen microneedling once a week would fill those spots in
I’ve been doing this for 8 months, so far it’s produced very little results
A tricologist helped me regain density
Why don't you consider a hair transplant?
you didn't use fin/min... lllt won't do much, 10% better after 18months not really worth it
So it doesn't work. Gotcha. Thank you
Why cant the hair of my butt fall of first?? Lol..
If you actually wanna use this helmet ou need to shave your hair daily so the light actually reaches the follicles otherwise it would be a waste of time.
When your hairs thin, it should be able to reach them no problem

Hi
Hey please gift me if you are not using this laser cap
Finasterid has great results but it has side effects. Side effects like hormonal imbalance, weight gain , rrduced libido. After taking for 6 months effects reduce
Time for a toupe.
👎
The review is a huge red flag😂😂😂😂
The fact that you used laser therapy WITHOUT combining it with medication like Finasteride and Rogaine is absolutely insane to me. You have to start finasteride NOW otherwise it won't work.
You should probably read through the comments. He did.
i think it looks dumb when you have a big bald spots, better to just shave it off... and if you need hair to feel better, just get a wig, they look way better than seeing bald spots...
No!
Are you still using the monoxidil? iRESTORE sent me your 15 month video review to talk me into not returning mine after 12 months to get my money back guarantee. They did not mention you were taking the monoxidil though.
I took minoxidil for a few months then stopped for over a year. Then took it for another stint after this video, the second time I took it, it had no effect. The thing with minoxidil is it only works for a small time period then loses its effectiveness.
The company seems shady as heck between them using your photos with someone else’s name and quote and then sending your video to someone I’m not mentioning you used any other treatment. Now they’ve changed their return policy so it’s not 100% of your money back. They charge a restocking fee in between that and the tax that they somehow are able to keep, it would cost me $600 if I returned it, which I am absolutely not willing to part with even to try the darn device.
It’s life - you can’t stop doing fillers Botox etc - you have to incorporate RL in your life forever as with sunscreen 🧴
it did NOTHING for my hair loss. waste of money
How long did you use it
@@808Mark 5 years. Total waste of money
Why rely on a single method? I do Laser, Rosemary oil and Microneedling and I already see denser hair and less hairfall.
