Style Chicks has long been a fan of HairMax devices. We’ve featured the Hairmax Laser Comb Professional 12, HairMax Laserband 82, and now the Hairmax PowerFlex Cap.

Who HairMax DEVICES can benefit

Hair loss affects 40% of women, including women under 30. There are fewer treatment options for women coping with hair loss. Many drugs for hair loss have unwanted side effects.

There is a brief window to revive dormant hair follicles so they once again grow hair. This chart shows degrees of hair loss. Does your loss look like one of the stages in blue? Then clinical testing shows that a HairMax device can help.

Here are the basic differences between the HairMax Laserband 82 and this HairMax PowerFlex Cap.

Design

The HairMax LaserBand 82 is a wide band that treats the scalp in three sections. It is placed at the front of the hairline in the first position. Then at the beep, slide it back to the next treatment area. The device can be positioned to treat the temples and sideburn area if desired.

The PowerFlex cap is placed on the head and doesn’t require any manual adjustment or repositioning during treatment. It treats the whole scalp at once.

If ease of use is important to you, PowerFlex is the easiest laser device design to use.

Laser Power, Coverage and Use

POWERFLEX CAP

The PowerFlex Cap has 272 lasers, packed densely on the cap as shown.

Insert the PowerFlex Cap within the included baseball-style cap or the cap of your choosing. You can wear it outside and walk around as needed.

Fit the device into the HairMax cap

PowerFlex Cap covers the hairline, crown, and hairline. Depending on your head size and shape, it may not reach the temple and sideburns as well as the LaserBand 82 can.

PowerFlex Cap bathes the top of the head with an unparalleled amount of low-level laser light. If your hair loss is frontal or stages 1-4 through II-2, the PowerFlex can aggressively treat hair loss before it is too late to reverse it.

The LaserBand 82

The LaserBand 82 has 82 medical-grade lasers across the band. They are densely placed, and it is moved in sequence on the scalp over three treatment areas or zones. The effect is equivalent to 82 lasers times the three area zones, or 246 lasers total. It is 1230 mW’s total output, less strong than the PowerFlex Cap (1360mW output) but is still a robust output for effective treatment. But since the Laserband82 is manually positioned, it is possible to accidentally skip an area.

COMB TEETH

A very useful feature is the parting combs that allow the laser light full access to the scalp.

If your hair loss is patchy or if your remaining hair is dense in sections, this parting comb feature may be a deciding factor in favor of the LaserBand 82.

Additional Considerations

Treatment Time

  • The HairMax LaserBand 82 is faster, as little as 90 seconds per area.
  • The HairMax PowerFlex has two treatment modes, 15 minutes and 30 minutes.

Cost

  • The HairMax LaserBand 82 is $799. (Currently $699 at Amazon)
  • The HairMax PowerFlex is $1999. (Currently $1749 at Amazon)

Clinical Research Studies


Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) occurs in both men and women.

HairMax uses Low-Level Laser Light Therapy or LLLT to treat AGA. Clinical studies show low-level laser light therapy can regrow hair. But not all hair growth devices get results. Research indicates only a specific laser light intensity can regrow hair. [1] HairMax devices deliver that intensity.

HairMax laser devices have been the subject of 7 clinical studies proving both efficacy and safety with an over 90% success rate. These clinical studies were conducted at major medical research centers in the U.S. showing an increase hair count of 129 additional new hairs per sq. inch and in 4 recent studies, an 81% increase in hair growth occurred.

For twenty years, HairMax has produced hair growth innovations. Theirs was the FIRST device on the market to receive FDA clearance as a medical device to treat hair loss and stimulate hair growth.

Coping with Hair Loss: Hair Restoration Innovations from HairMax

October 2, 2019 · 24 Comments

Up to forty percent of women experience hair loss or thinning. Unfortunately, women have fewer hair restoration options.  Hair loss remedies include topical and oral medications, transplants, or concealing the loss with wigs, extensions or hairpieces.[1]  But now there are more options for men and women that provide true hair regrowth and restoration without the side effects of medication.

HairMax Laserband 82: Hair Loss Treatment for Women

July 10, 2017 · Leave a Comment

August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month. Here at Style Chicks, we have advocated for women who experience hair loss and hair thinning since we started this site in 2007. 

Hair loss can be upsetting for anyone, but especially devasting for women. And female hair loss is far more common than we might think, it occurs even in younger women. Hair loss can happen because of genetics, stress, medications, diet, surgery, hormonal changes, amongst other reasons. Even a temporary health situation causing hair loss is very upsetting.  Don’t just try to conceal the loss: you can take action!  But options for women have been limited. Some effective drugs treatments are not approved for women, and many topical treatments are considered less effective on female hair loss. Topical treatments are often sticky and can make hair thinning look even worse. We were so excited when about the HairMax LaserBand 82 Device, FDA cleared for men AND women and clinically proven effective to stop hair loss and regrow hair.

The HairMax LaserBand 82 delivers therapeutic light energy directly to your hair follicles through 82 medical-grade lasers to treat hair loss and promote hair growth.

HairMax LaserBand 82

WHY HAIRMAX LASERBAND 82 IS A GAME CHANGER FOR WOMEN WITH MILD TO MODERATE HAIR LOSS

HairMax LaserBand 82 is an FDA cleared laser light hair growth device suitable for men and women in early to modern stages of hair thinning and loss. It’s used in the privacy of your own home a few minutes a day, three times a week. It’s safe and effective. There are no harmful side effects, no odd-smelling topical treatments with a sticky or oily residue that makes thin hair look worse. No expensive daily drug prescriptions. It’s simple to use, even while reading or watching TV. Most importantly, it’s proven to work in SEVEN clinical studies.

CLINICAL PROOF:  HOW DO WE KNOW IT WORKS?

HairMax LaserBand 82 is Recommended by doctors and hair restoration experts because it has proven over 90% success rate. What does that mean exactly? Many hair loss products focus primarily on stopping hair loss, but how do you know if those products are actually working? HairMax LaserBand 82 doesn’t just stop hair loss, it stimulates the follicles to regrow lusher, denser, fuller, and healthier.

Studies counted the individual hairs per square inch to look for improvement. The results? A documented average increase in hair count of 129 additional new hairs per square inch after six months. That’s THOUSANDS of new hairs over the entire head resulting in denser, fuller hair.  The results are even slightly better for women, at 132 hairs per square inch at 26 weeks.

Hairmax Best Candidates for Hair Regrowth

Hairmax Best Candidates for Hair Regrowth include women with mild to moderate hair loss on the top and front of the hairline based on the Ludwig-Savin Classification (taken from HairMax user guide)

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE HAIRMAX LASERBAND 82

The Device is a curved band design that fits comfortably on the head, like a headband. When I put it on it is lightweight and comfortable, and there are no cords or attachments.

82 DIODES

It has 82 Laser diodes, not LED lights. These medical grade diodes provide a consistent even light that penetrates down to the scalp.

Take a look at the photos to see the penetrating flood of light evenly disperse over a wide area.

HAIR PARTING TEETH

An important feature is the hair parting teeth that come in various sizes. I was concerned the laser would not be able to reach my scalp through my hair, but with the aid of the hair parting teeth, the focused laser diode light penetrates to the hair follicles and provides consistent, even light to the entire scalp to treat my follicles.

Two rows of parting teeth assist the diodes in delivering consistent, even light that penetrates down to the scalp

Product Update: Hairmax Lasercomb Professional 12

November 30, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Lee previously let us know her thoughts on the Hairmax Lasercomb, let’s check in on her progress!

Well, here I am at the halfway to anticipated regrowth mark.The program continues to be easy to follow, integrating almost effortlessly into my evening beauty routine.

My results to date: I wasn’t expecting any at this point, but to my surprise, hair fallout has dramatically reduced with very few strands accumulating in the shower drain or on my hairbrush. For me,  this is especially noteworthy in that I’m one of the many gals who has distressingly increased shedding in the fall when leaves are dropping here in the Northeast.

So as far as my progress, so far, so (very!) good!

-Lee
