Can HAIRMAX be used on other parts of the body than just the scalp?

Question

I want to use HAIRMAX on my eyebrows because they stopped growing back out years ago. I also want to use it on my bikini area because I got a laser hair removal session that I regret well over a year ago and I want to regrow as much hair as possible.

In theory, Low Level Light Therapy could be used to strengthen weakened hairs anywhere on the body by stimulating the mitochondria in the hair follicle cells. It is unlikely to grow hair where it is absent or to increase the diameter of hairs that are already at their genetic maximum. You would need to be extremely careful using the light sources near your eyes as you could cause ocular damage. I am not aware of any high quality research studies in humans to support the use you are considering.Even for scalp hair it is not yet known what is the optimum light wavelength to stimulate hair growth and this might also be the optimum wavelength might be different for hairs on other parts of the body. It is also not known what is the optimum number of light sources, optimum frequency of use, or optimum duration of use.

Thje laser will not work in either the eyebrow or the bikini area. As you are in Los Angeles, you should consider visiting our office so that we can see just what the problem is. Hair transplants are ceertainly an option for these two problems, something we have done many times.
