      Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️
      *What is the Gospel?*
      The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
      Ephesians 2:8-9
      For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
      Romans 10:9
      9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

    I bought a Platinum LED red light lamp for some neuropathy I had. My chiropractor recommended it. Since I had it anyway I figured I would try it for my hair loss. From what I’ve heard, red light only restores 35% more hair. It doesn’t bring everything back. I would say this is true for my experience. Did it bring everything back? No. However my hair is thicker now than it was 2 years ago. My hair is the thickest it’s been in the last 15 years or so. You can still tell I have thinning hair but it has improved substantially. Less of my scalp is visible than it was before and my ponytail is noticeably thicker. Hair barrettes that used to slip out of my hair now remain firmly in place, in fact my hair is now almost too thick to use them. My hair fall has substantially decreased as well.
    I have also heard that minoxidil only works for less than half of the people that try it. I’ve tried it twice and didn’t see much if any improvement.
    More recently, I have made a point of eating more animal based protein and now my hair fall has plummeted even more. Hair loss is such a complex problem with so many different causes. There’s so much trial and error involved in figuring out what works best for you.

    These caps are astronomically expensive for the kind of treatment they deliver, when the same can be achieved at a tiny fraction of the cost using over the counter RLT bulbs. Don't place too much value on the "FDA cleared" claim, as it is rather easy to attain with the right amount of money handed over, given the 510K process is very expensive. RLT treatment mechanisms between a large bulb vs an array of "medical grade" LEDs essentially the same. Whether it is in the form factor of a baseball cap vs just a bulb pointed towards yoru head makes very little difference when you understand how RLT works. It is incredibly effective at penetrating deep into the skin, so you do not need to have the light so precisely targeted. Anyway if you want to give it a shot without spending the astronomical asking price of a Capillus cap, buy yourself a couple of $40 RLT bulbs and some cheap clamp lamps give it a shot.

    I used irestore for about 15 months. Results were minimal and the reason I stopped using it after 15 months is because it became nonfunctional- the lights didn't come on anymore. No loose wires or change in how it was used. But out of warranty time so basically I now have a useless $1200 helmet. I took photos once a month to track progress or lack of it. The only benefit I saw was my hair grew longer faster than usual but did NOT grow thicker hair or more dense hair.

I am in no way bashing you for continuing to use it, I am honestly impressed. I've tried the foams and the drips and the shampoos for thinning hair and have not found anything that particularly work. I do like the smell of the brand I'm using, and it feels good like cooling effect so I have kept using it for months despite not really seeing any results. Because at the end of the day I enjoy it as a basic shampoo and conditioner set.

My hair looks great and I haven't noticed any side effects.

I can't say I've had major regrowth but I can say that my hair, for my age, has pretty good coverage. I have no doubt I would be close to bald at this point without that active planning many, many years ago.

      Finasteride is most important because it's a DHT blocker. Finasteride and minoxidil work independently of each other because minoxidil is a stimulant. LLLT devices are also stimulants. It might be helpful to add it to your regimen, but I'm not 100 percent convinced that they work.

I hD gotten a small red light therapy device for pain---- it looks like a mini flashlight. I dont know why but I decided to try it on my head . I do it when I'm decompressing in the evening and I just sort of lay on my bed close my eyes and think. I've been using this light everyday for between 10 to 30 min and I have all kinds of baby hairs growing. I've been at this for 2 weeks and some of these hairs are almost an inch and some are about 1 and a half centimeters. The hair shedding I was experiencing has been slowing down to almost normal. .....and after covid it was a lot. Overall I lost about half my hair and it happened in a vouple of showers. I was scared to see such large amounts if hair fall and had to unclog the shower drain several times which until then I had never had to unclog a shower drain. There was hair all over my pillow and kept tickling my arms as it fell through the day. I was devistated

After 2 days I immediately noticed that the hair is not falling out, now it is growing back hair. I use Capillus before going to bed with hair washed and feel until the next day that the "circulation" in my head (I think) is working. Plus, hair that's thicker and healthier to the eye. I was so undecided whether to buy it because I saw so many negative comments but I think they are from the competition (trichologists) or people who have a wrong diet: if you don't eat the right nutrients, your body doesn't have the basis for building hair.

    While I appreciate the professional level of information distribution you are doing. Probably the hardest thing about that diode energy calculation is the spread of the beams and bleed through as each one will not just hit one part of the skin and stop, it will light up and spread out as soon as it hits the skin and different skin, tones, existing hair densities causing shade and diffraction would make the calculation very difficult to even setup. I would bet a computer simulation or AI predictive method would come close but still. I find complex mathematics very fascinating.
