On Jan18, I asked: goo.gl/EkXD9K and started using iRestore Laser helmet to treat my hair loss from 24/Jan/18 every other day for 25 min. They clime I will see max growth in 6th month: goo.gl/jf3yFy. Today's 04/Jul/18 (6 month), but there is no difference. See pics of 4&6 month attached. I can return this product until 23/Jul/18. - Should I, continue to use it/return it & try other helmet with more LED: goo.gl/X384iZ/do hair transplant?
