it's good to hear that someone is actually seeing improvement. Please share b/a photos with us.

Well, I don't know. Using the helmet since mid-December. Started using 2x a week, then switched to 3x. Shampoo with Nixoral and T-Sal at Theradome's recommendation.

I know this is going off topic a bit, but have you heard any news/reports of the Igrow helmet? I know it uses LEDs and less lasers, but its the only other helmet i know similar to theradome and i dont see many (if any) blogs about it online. Thanks!

LLLT works without a doubt. You have to be patient. 4 months is only enough time to see a hair quality improvement which is why Theradome has a 120 day policy. You are pretty much guaranteed to see at least a reduction of hair fall and more manageable hair by then. Temples and front hairline that have vellus hair can take at least a year. I tried igrow with minimal results due to the LEDs. You need lasers. I've been using a 300 diode helmet and my hair is improved over the 12 months of use. Only now at 16 months am I seeing my temple vellus hairs starting to get longer. I do Tom Hagerty scalp exercises as well which I believe compliment the lasers. I recently purchased a Theradome because I like the portability of it as well as the wavelength and efficiency of the lasers. I believe Dr. Tamim Hamid knows his stuff regarding lasers and I look forward to great results. Patience is key as I used to think my hair would come back in a year only of laser therapy, but since I've been losing it since I was 21 and I am now 31, I realize it is going to take time. Most companies show "wow" results after a few months. The majority of people will take longer in my opinion. Keep it up! It is a slow healing process.

I’ve just started my 7th month this week. I’m still experiencing quite a bit of hair loss which I see on the floor of my shower. I started losing hair at 38 and I’m 65 now. We shall see. I do have new “fuzzes” in the temple area – they seem to have come along about 2 months ago, but don’t seem to be doing anything else. Not growing in length. Maybe they will eventually be stimulated to blossom into regular hair.

I'm pretty sure they "doubled the time frames" because the website originally used the wording in terms of treatment amounts. In other words 52 treatments is really 26 weeks. A lot people started using it everyday so number of treatments and time frame vary. They told me on the phone before I ordered it to start out 2 times a week and slowly build up to every other day then every day like Dr. Tamim Hamid. Laser therapy takes time, period. There are some people online that used 300 diode helmets like me that didn't get all their hair back until like 3 years. The first 6 months is a shed and recovery time in my opinion. After four months my healthy hair color started coming back. Hopefully Theradome has really optimized the laser technology to stream line it a bit which is why the CEO had such "wow" results in like a year. There are weeks where I feel my hair is thicker and I have gotten some comments and then thinner and then more thicker again. Tom Hagerty scalp exercises help as well. They take discipline but I believe he is on to something with his theory. His website explains how to do them. I am looking forward to more results from Theradome. I truly believe the fact that I have thousands of tiny hair along my hairline and temples (18 year old hairline) is due to the laser therapy and scalp exercises. I see them sprout and then shed a few at a time. They have been dormant the longest so it will take the longest for those hairs to recover. It's nice to see hair coming back after all these years. Good luck to you!

Originally they said to only use it 2x a week. When I contacted them about 3 months into my usage, I was told to up it to up it to 3x a week or more. If I recall correctly she said there should be at least 18 to 24 hours between treatments. I upped my usage to every other day.

It took about 6 months until I started seeing the "outline" of my juvenile hairline which is still mostly vellus hair. As each week passes however, some are beginning to get longer and turn from white/transparent to golden. I can see them more and more in different lighting versus only one angle and lighting if that makes sense. I think the scalp exercises definitely help with the loosening of the scalp.

more people are losing faith in this device and I wonder why Tamim couldn't just shave his head and show a picture of his current hair state. This can't be that difficult.

I think we do have to take Tamim's claims with a grain of salt. So many endorsements for products just aren't true. For instance, Cindy Crawford and her make up line, saying that's what kept her so youthful looking, and then a few years ago she admitted that she's had some nips and tucks here and there. Product claims are always exaggerated. How do we know that Tamim hasn't done other things as well as using the helmet?

some of you guys are using the helmet more often in an attempt to speed or increase results but please be aware that studies show that overexposure not only offers no benefits but cause harm and actually prevent growth,...this is not my opinion but one that has been shown in studies.for this reason i cant for the life of me understand why theramdome would make the claim that using it more often or for longer times would result in faster results...this isnt my opinion but one that clinical studies on llt therapy have proven...more studies are needed to confirm exactly what constitutes "overexposure"

I think some of us who are using the helmet more often are doing so at the advice of Theradome staff. Below is an email I got from Jenae at Theradome in response to my question about how much of the scalp the lights actually hit --

That's what Jenae told me too. However I found this link online on another Theradome review site. Dr. Hamid provided this link in a response to the poster's question. I used to think that you took the energy per laser, multiplied by the number of lasers and then divided it over the area of the scalp. Hence I thought more lasers were better.

I emailed to return my Theradome. I saw improvement in the texture of my hair but not growth over 4 months 2x a week. They extended my return policy to November.

All I did was email about my refund. I received an email back asking why. I explained that the return period was shorter than the period to see expected results. They sent back a formal email cc'ing Tamid saying that my return policy was extended 6 months. They said they were sure I'd see results.

Did you contact them before your 4 month return window had expired? Or after?

That's great (extension of return policy). I hope they extend the same courtesy to others.
