(Date of first use : 06/11/2018 ) First thing is first,...I do not work for the company, nor do I have a vested interest in whether you purchase this product or not. I am only writing this review, not for the manufacturer, but for you and others like you, that are suffering from hair loss. Alright,...let us begin. What you want to know is whether this device works, and if so, is it worth the money. Well,...I can tell you that it works, yes, it does benefit the reduction and also the regrowth of hair follicles. If you want to know that science of what the device does, you can see countless videos made that discuss what light therapy does to your scalp. Is it worth the cash? For me, it was. For you, well,..it's your money, so I can only suggest that it is cheaper and way less invasive that a hair transplant. Now, that being said, if you are bald and have not seen hair follicles in years, this device will not help you. If have thinning hair and want to make your hair thicker and regrow hair follicles that are not gone, but simply dormant, this device will do what it promises. I want to say two more things and then I am gone. First, you are going to find more expensive and also cheaper machines that promise the same thing as this device. DO YOUR RESEARCH. The more expensive ones are simply that, more expensive. The cheaper ones, well, they are trash. You'll find that the cheap ones are just l.e.d. bulbs and no laser. This type of device will do nothing but aggravate you and waste your time and money. Second thing, and this one you should really take to heart. This device alone, will only do so much. Think of this device as the sun. Think of your hair as the grass. Think of your scalp as the dirt. Your body, more importantly, what you put in it, feeds your scalp. My point is,...diet, namely yours. I'll use myself as an example. I don't smoke. I eat very healthy. I work out. I take the appropriate vitamins and minerals. I clean my scalp with a DHT blocker shampoo. I use a honey based conditioner. I do also use an over the counter minoxidil. Just know that it will not be one thing that saves you from your hair loss. It will be multiple things, the right things, that turn things around for you. Do your research and stay committed to a specific routine. I hope the very best for you as you go on this journey, but do something today, because once your hair is gone,...it's not going to come back on it's own. UPDATE : (Date - 08/05/2018) Where do I begin? My hair has had such a positive reaction to this device, I almost cannot believe what I am witnessing. My hair is thicker and is growing in areas, my crown and my receding front hair line, for the first time in over a decade. I don't know what else to say to you, if you are thinking about buying this device, but are hesitant. Just buy it. You will NOT regret it.

Excellent Amazing result in a short time great customer support easy to use and Confortable to use

First off, let me say I'm a verified purchaser (purchased on Oct 23, 2019) and I am in no way affiliated with iRestore. I am a guy who has been VERY slowly thinning since my mid-twenties (now 41 years old) and I wanted to provide an honest review of my time with iRestore after 9 months of use for those thinking about buying the device. I was in your shoes 10 months ago and I had decided I would either start shaving my head or look in to hair transplant. Also, I was VERY much a doubter of this working and so was my wife, so forking out $400-500 seemed stupid but the alternative was much more expensive so I figured I would give it a shot. A couple of things to note: - I'm what iRestore considers an ideal candidate since I still some have hair in the areas where I'm balding (in a horse shoe pattern). - My hair is ashy/strawberry blonde, and the area I've been thinning in since my 20's is bright blonde almost like the hair is dying and losing pigment. - My photos from right to left (right being day 1) were taken on 10-25-19, month 6 on 3-30-19, and today 7-26-20 on month 9. A lot of times these photos on reviews are terrible at best and deceiving at worst, so I made sure that my photos were taken after a fresh haircut with the same hair style, from the same angle, no hair product, no flash on the camera, and the same lighting. - I've been using iRestore like recommended, every other day for 9 months with a few 4-5 day breaks in that time due to travel and what not. Now that you have all that info, here are my thoughts on iRestore: Simply put: I think the device is working, but temper your expectations. If you look at the photo (left) on the first day my hair was slightly thinner and bright blonde. By month 6 (middle photo), my hair is slightly filling in, and the first thing both my wife and I noticed when looking at the photos side by side was the hair was getting a little bit darker on the month 6 photo. Not drastically darker, but darker; this tells me the hair growing in is healthier. Now, if you look at month 9 (left photo) the hair is slightly thicker, but it is the same color as the rest of my hair. I think this is a positive sign that there is progress even from 3 months ago. Do I think you should get an iRestore? I think that depends on what you're looking for. If you are in similar shoes to me and you're happy with the progress I have then I would recommend it. If you are farther down the line of thinning to where you are completely bald in some spots then I probably wouldn't recommend it. This isn't something that is going to fix baldness over night, so if you're willing to be patient I think it could work. Like I said before, I was a huge non-believer but I didn't really have many options, so I decided to give it a shot. I'm giving a 4/5 stars for now, but I will adjust that if at the year mark if I see even more hair coming in. I will be following then with a new photo. I hope this helps someone on the fence! Please feel free to respond if you have questions, I would be happy to answer. -Scott

I purchased an iRestore Essential in early December of 2024 and used it precisely as prescribed for a year, before the lights no longer worked. With this product, please be aware some of the lights are only LEDs--not laser lights. I contacted iRestore and asked if my product might need a new power pack. They told me they would escalate my concern and I would be hearing from them within two days. I never heard from them. I contacted them again a week later, and this time they did contact me two days after I contacted them to let me know they had again escalated my request. After a week of no additional contact, I contacted them again, this time via the same representative who had sent me an e-mail. I never heard back from the representative. I rate their customer service as one star out of five. As for the product, before I started using it, I had a picture taken of my bald spot. After I began using iRestore, I had a picture of that same spot taken at the end of each month. At the end of the year, I compared all of the pictures. None showed a single new hair or any signs of stronger or fuller hair. It may be that for certain types of hair loss this product may work, but before you buy this, I highly recommend reading reviews on another site. What I found when I did that--foolishly after buying the product--that at a clip of about fifty to one, customers considered their iRestore device a scam. I appreciate the desire to do something about your hair loss, as doing something feels better than doing nothing, even if that something isn't working, but before you shell out a lot of money for a product that has only the smallest chance of working, I suggest a much cheaper option that has much greater chance of success. This is option is a combination of products--pumpkin seed oil, minoxidil, and microneedling (with at least 1.0mm needles). Research has shown the zinc, iron, magnesium and omega-6 fatty acids in the pumpkin seed oil can help with hair loss. Minoxidil has long been recommended for hair loss. Microneedling is a somewhat newer technique for hair loss but has consistently high reviews against a broad spectrum of neutral sites for working to regrow hair. Combined, these options provide an affordable and potentially effective solution for hair regrowth. iRestore will almost certainly not work for you, and it will do so at an exorbitant cost.

I have tried many remedies to improve my thinning hair over the years. Here is my story that describes what worked and what didn't work for me. Bottom line about the laser cap: it works! - in combination with other treatments, as I will report. I am a female, mid 70s, never had thick hair, but it started thinning severely after menopause. Several years ago, when my hair loss became really noticeable I decided to go for hair transplant surgery. I knew it would take 12 to 18 months for the hair to grow back in, but I got impatient within a couple months and started using minoxidil (5% foam) once a day in the area on top of my head where thinning was worst. After about a year the results were looking pretty good. For several more years I continued using minoxidil, but eventually it was clear I was once again losing hair. Obviously the hair transplant worked initially but did not give permanent improvement, and the minoxidil was not sufficient to prevent hair loss. I lost faith in minoxidil at this point, and switched to the popularly advertised supplement Viviscal. I used Viviscal faithfully for a full year (stopping minoxidil). I saw that my hair loss got much worse over this time. I was seeing severe bald spots on top of my head and was pretty desperate. My conclusion about Viviscal is that it had absolutely no beneficial result in my experience. Based on my experience so far, I concluded that the surgery worked, but the results were not permanent. My underlying condition caused me to still lose hair. I believe minoxidil probably slowed the rate of hair loss somewhat. I reached that conclusion since after I stopped minoxidil completely and switched to Vivisical, the rate of hair loss became much worse. After that year using Viviscal I was pretty desperate and decided to try the laser cap. This was 6 months ago. I stopped Viviscal, went back to using minoxidil same way as before (5% foam once a day), and started using the laser cap as instructed, 25 minutes every other day. I also started taking a biotin supplement (5 mg per day) at the same time. The way I gauge hair loss is by "combing" my wet hair with my fingers every morning and checking how much hair comes out on my fingers. During the Viviscal days, my daily hair loss was significant. Within a few weeks of starting the laser cap/ minoxidil/ biotin hair loss dropped a lot, and within a few months it dropped to virtually zero. I will say that I found the minoxidil led to pretty significant dandruff and scalp itching within about a month's time. I switched to a popular dandruff shampoo and increased my hair-washing frequency to 4-5 times a week. The dandruff & itching came under control pretty quickly and has not been a problem since then. After about 3 months of using the laser cap I started to feel a little fuzziness under my fingertips when I rubbed the top of my head and thought it might be a sign of new hair growth. I started to see gray hairs emerging and had to color my hair a little more quickly than I normally would. But that was a good thing! After 6 months, I am definitely seeing good hair growth on top of my head. Other people, including my doctor, have also commented that my hair is looking better. However – and this is interesting – I realized my hair is quite thin in the upper back of my head, where I was not using minoxidil (even though the laser cap does hit that region). I also notice some other thin hair areas in spots where I was not applying minoxidil. This leads me to believe it is the combination of the laser cap and minoxidil that gives the good result. I am now using minoxidil over a larger area. I hope to see improvements in these other thinning areas over the next several months and will update this review. I feel like there is a farming analogy here – when you are farming you have to first prepare the soil by tilling or aerating or something like that. You also need fertilizer. I see the laser cap as "preparing the soil" and the minoxidil as the "fertilizer". Not sure about the biotin contribution but I continue to use it. I plan to keep using the laser cap indefinitely but probably after I feel I have reached my personal best for hair growth I will cut back on minoxidil. If hair loss starts to become apparent I think I will notice it right away and can increase the minoxidil. One complaint I have about the laser cap is that it does not stay in place during use unless I keep my face pointed slightly downward (which is awkward). If I face forward, the cap tends to slip to the back and fall off unless I hold it in place. There should be a better way of keeping the cap from slipping backward when the user is facing forward. I also have a concern about the power cord. No matter how careful I am with it, the cord forms "kinks" which I have to carefully untwist every time. So far this has not caused a problem but I think that eventually this could be a failure mechanism. I would suggest either a different type of wire that does not kink so easily, or else change the design so the wire can be easily replaced if it becomes necessary. I am very pleased with my hair growth using the laser cap.

Arrived timely, nicely packed, customer service is responsive.

Okay, where do I begin with this? Of all the red light therapy hair restoration helmets, I chose this one because it wasn't the cheapest but not the most expensive, and seemed like it had the most potential. When I ordered this, it also had a deal that came with the supplement that you can take internally. I used this in conjunction with the hair supplement, some minoxidil foam, and some other vitamins and minerals that are recommended to nurture hair from the inside. I completed about 10 treatments with this, using it every other day for about 20 minutes a day. This started to give me migraines. I actually wasn't having any migraines for a long time before using this, and this triggered them almost immediately. It was to the point that I was missing full days from being in bed. Initially, I didn't know what it was, but this was the only thing that I was doing differently. As soon as I stopped and gave it about 2 days after stopping, the migraines also stopped, and I have not had them since. A quick Google search did tell me that red light sensitivity is a thing for people already prone to migraines. With that being said, I could not continue to use this. However, I took before and after photos a few months after and did notice a difference in what seems like new hair. After I stopped using the helmet, I did continue to take the supplements along with some other things to continue my journey, but I just could not use this any longer.

I waited over 10 weeks before writing this review, because there’s really no way I would’ve known if it worked or not without giving it the time needed. At the time that I ordered this product, I was experiencing extreme and prolonged stress from narcissistic, mental, and financial abuse that resulted in a sustained hair loss pattern over at least a six week period that left me with a bald spot that measured at least 5 inches in length from one end to the other and at least 3 inches in width at its widest point. Hair was coming out in clumps similar to when you have chemo. The hair loss was sudden and devastating and was completely smooth with no stubble—just completely bare. Once I purchased this product, it did what it said it would do. While it triggered new hair growth to the damaged follicles, those hairs grew in completely white due to the damage, as it states in the pamphlet. It also caused more hair to come out in that area that was already damaged. So while the area grew in size, there was new hair growing in the other areas. So while I have a huge area of white hair growing in, which is common, when the hair follicles have been damaged, the additional areas are now coming in with my natural hair color. In fact, over this time, I am now not losing hair and this is also been confirmed not only by my Hair Stylist but also my physicians., it has grown in several inches and thicker. It’s going to be a long process, but I’m very pleased with this product and I will continue to use it to ensure a healthy scalp and hair follicles. It’s not that big of a deal to use it so everybody sits down for at least 25 minutes at the end of the day to relax. I have made sure that I use it every other day or so as a routine now. It is well worth the money spent. I must say that I have used it in combination with a well-known tropical product, but I can absolutely say that I have been more consistent with using this helmet and seen the results that the pamphlet said that I would have. I absolutely give this product five stars and will use it for the rest of my life.

Its too early to write..using for one month.I am 30+...can not say whether new hair is growing...but hair fall has definitely reduced and getting under controlled..greying of hair has significantly reduced..and overall hair quality has improved...important to note that I am not under any other type of medication for hair...will keep posting...

I had such beautiful thick hair when I was younger. My aunts and uncles are hairdressers and they used to beg one another to cut my hair because they didn’t want to do it. My hair was so thick that their arms would hurt from styling. Anyway, fast forward several years, I began losing hair from stress and a bit of hormonal imbalance. I stopped going on for professional haircuts and styling because I was too embarrassed by my hair, even though it was family who was seeing it. I tried nizoral and rogaine, and they helped a bit but you could still see large gaps in my hair part and my hair was so thin that the elastic I used to make a ponytail would wrap around my hair several times before it would hold my hair, whereas before I could barely get it around my ponytail twice before the elastic would snap. I have been using this product religiously, and it’s not a big deal to keep up the routine. I mean, what’s 25 minutes every other day? I use it when I watch tv or catch up with emails, so time flies. I’m seeing hairs sprout from my scalp, a noticeable increase in hair fullness, and my part has gotten narrower. I also have new hairs along my hairline that I never had before, so I’m very happy. It’s not where it used to be, but it’s only been 7 weeks. I didn’t have any noticeable hair loss when I first started treatment either. So far so good!

Recién llevo un mes usándolo y no puedo afirmar que los resultados sean solo por el casco, ya que también uso varios tónicos pero la realidad es que ya no se me cae ningún cabello, noto que se está engrosando y hasta tiene más brillo. Iré actualizando mi reseña cada dos meses.

I highly recommend this product, i saw results in juse few days eeks of use.

I have been using propecia for preventative hair loss for 15 years, cannot use minoxidil as I get a reaction to it, red flaky scalp even with the 2% solution. Though I was taking propecia I noted some increased hair loss the last couple years and wanted to add something to the regime. I did my research, and decided on laser therapy and bought the iRestore, the laser helmet I call it, and followed the simple routine of every other day 25 minutes, missing a day here or there and just carrying on the next day. I bought a hand held microscope to follow progress. I could see the microscopic white hairs in the follicles began to get thicker, longer and darker, especially around my temples and front of the hair line. At the back I noted more hairs per follicle adding to the thickness and covering more scalp. After 5 months I could tell the difference, but the real results came at the 7 month mark in the last 2 weeks when my wife was standing behind me and said the back of my head "was much better" and then a week later my stylist who I had not seen for 2.5 months said the same thing, and noted the new growth and thicker hair at the back. Now my wife uses the helmet too, friends bought the newest one, and I will keep it up as I still see further improvement as more of the microscopic hairs become more viable and the other new ones just keep getting better. As my hair is going gray I do color it which also helps the new little ones stand out. And in general the system seems to be benefitting the rest of my hair as well. The collage of pictures are as follows: 1 The dots are follicles with microscopic hair but at least they are alive 2 It is very faint but you may be able to see these tiny white hairs in this shot, these are what appear to get replaced with better thicker hairs 3 this is the outer edge of my hairline with little white hairs got darker and thicker 4 a mix of new hair with older established hair at the front edge of my hair line, yes the older established hair is much thicker but the little ones keep getting better and help the coverage 5 another outer edge of hairline with thickening hairs 6 same again this is not new per say but reinvigorated hair that was invisible before 7 sample of hair an inch into my hairline at the front to who how established hair looks, but in there are little ones and multiples coming our of a single follicle 8 is the back of my head in one of the worst spots now thicker (not great) but with multiple hairs in one follicle as well.
