LaserCap Chicago

LaserCap Overview

LaserCap™ is the only portable low-level laser device for thinning hair that is medically managed. It fits in any cap and is the only way to undergo Low Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) for hair growth on the go because it is completely portable and easy to use, hands-free.

The Device/How it Works

LaserCap™ features 224 individual 650nm 5mW lasers in a flexible, hermetically sealed dome shaped membrane that fits comfortably in almost any hat. It is powered by a small belt-clip battery pack and offers patients the low level laser power of an in office clinical unit in the comfort of your home. The team behind the LaserCap™ set out to develop a superior device with the power and coverage of an inoffice dome unit, but in a portable design. They designed a device that fits in a variety of hats and is powered by a portable battery pack. The entire target zone is treated throughout the duration of treatment, and the user can perform almost any activity during use, including walking, jogging, making dinner, working, and more.

LaserCap™ versus Other LLLT Devices

LaserCap™ versus FDA Cleared Home Device & FDACleared In-Office Dome – LaserCap™ uses the same laser diode wave-length and output power per laser as an FDA-cleared low-level-laser device for hair loss; however, LaserCap™ has 224 laser diodes versus 9 laser diodes in the FDA-cleared device and LaserCap™ treats the entire affected scalp simultaneously with an accurate and adjustable light dosmetry. LaserCap™’s dosimetry may be set significantly higher than the FDA cleared comb device and significantly higher than in office dome devices; this higher dosimetry combined with consistent regular use (i.e., patient compliance) may be essential for effectiveness, according to the photomedicine experts.

What Experts Say

Robert Haber, MD // Respected Hair Restoration Surgeon // President, LaserCap™ Company “…LaserCap™ maximizes patient compliance since it is worn under any head cover (baseball cap, scarf, etc.) and is completely portable. Higher dosimetry combined with consistent regular use (patient compliance) may be essential for effectiveness…” TK Shiao MD // Respected Hair Restoration Surgeon // LaserCap™ User & Prescriber “…The bottom line is, low level laser therapy works. LaserCap™is the most practical solution for LLLT delivery…”

Paul Cotterill MD // Respected Hair Restoration Surgeon // LaserCap™ Prescriber ”…This laser has the potential to be one of the more efficient lasers at promoting hair growth and slowing hair loss.”

Russell Knudsen MBBS // Respected Hair Restoration Surgeon // LaserCap™ Prescriber “…I believe LaserCap™ has the potential to be the most effective home-use laser hair device because it overcomes the natural disadvantages of hand-held devices which only provide fleeting doses of light to the scalp… and in ongoing hair treatment programs, compliance (the ability to appropriately and easily use the
technology) is crucial. The technology won’t work if the customer finds it too hard to do on a regular basis…”

Michael Hamblin PhD // Harvard University Photomedicine Expert // LaserCap™ Science Advisor “…I believe that LaserCap™ is the most convenient device for delivering the light to the scalp as it does not require active combing but it is still a home use device, as contrasted with the (in-office) hairdryer-like hood…”

LaserCap™ emits more than 25 times the total laser output of the leading laser comb and 2.5 times the power of the leading in-office laser dome device; and it’s easy, portable, discreet use makes compliance as simple as wearing a hat.
