Question

Would Theradome laser helmet help with men losing hair @ 44 years old? I am using minoxidil 5% for 10 years, hair max comb 3 months & head & shoulder shampoo for 6 years on & off. I am not interested of any finasterride due to the side effects.

If you have genetic hair loss, laser helmets will likely not grow back hair. Be a smart consumer.  There is no cure for a genetic condition such as genetic male pattern balding.  You can try what may sound too good to be true, but it always is that way.  Buyer beware.

I suggest you see a hair loss expert.  Often there is nothing that can be done, this is a genetic condition.  However, PRP and progesterone injections can help slow the process and possibly reverse it.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Low level laser can help a small proportion of men. There is no evidence one LLLT device is better or worse than another. To date, the majority of independent published studies have been with the Hairmax. Theradome could help. Hairmax could help. Whichever you choose give it 6-9 months before you decide if it's working or not.Treatments for male pattern hair loss are:MinoxidilfinasterideLLLTPlatelet rich plasma (PRP)

I may be in the minoroity of doctors who believe that lasers have little effect on hair loss.  The doctors make money by selling lasers and this colors their judgements.

Theradome laser increases the quality and health of growing hair by increasing blood circulation to the hair follicles, stimulates protein synthesis, decreases inflammation and energizes the follicular cells, allowing the hair to grow thicker and fuller. In my opinion any hair growth is very minimal. You are already using a medical regiment that has probabaly helped with maintaining your native hair. At this stage, to regain some hair back you may need to look into hair tranplant to fill in the thinned areas and use mediacal regiment for maintenance.
