Hair loss is a very annoying problem for both men and women. Because of that, some innovative people have designed supplements and therapy tools to help people combat hair loss. One popular technology that is said to be effective for treating hair loss is the laser hair growth system. By exposing the hair follicles to the laser lights, such treatments aim to stimulate the hibernating hair follicles to be active and start growing hair again. Now, we have two laser hair therapy tools that we are going to discuss, which are iRestore vs HairMax. Do they work? Which one is more effective?
Design and Features
No, iRestore is not one of Apple’s products. Instead, it is a laser hair therapy system that is designed like a helmet. The helmet-like shape makes it very easy to use. Simply equip it on your head and activate it. You can use it while doing some other activities. The interior side of the helmet is filled with laser lights and non-laser LEDs that will deliver infrared light beams to stimulate your scalp. To be precise, it is equipped with a total of 51lights, which consist of 21 medical-grade lasers and 30 non-laser LEDs. This is a relatively simpler model than the previously discussed iRestore vs iGrow.
On the other hand, HairMax is a more complex system. The system actually recommends you to use not only the laser comb, but also the shampoo, conditioner, and therapeutic gel for the best results. This is great. By cleansing the scalp and stimulating the hair follicles, HairMax has a better chance to stop hair loss and make your hair grow back. The comb laser is perhaps not very convenient to use because of the fact that it does not stay in place like a helmet does. However, this is a more powerful device that is equipped with a total of 82 medical-grade lasers without any LEDs.
Performance
How do iRestore vs HairMax compare in terms of effectiveness? iRestore has received mixed reviews, which is not surprising for such products. Often, a therapeutic product works for some people but not for others. The positive reviews say that it can indeed help to stop hair loss. But not all of the positive reviews mention hair regrowth. Besides, non-laser LEDs are not actually effective for stimulating the hair follicles.
HairMax has received more positive reviews. It boasts a clinical study that says that more than 90% of the participants using the HairMax system experience significant hair regrowth. This is most probably because HairMax is equipped with more laser lights and also includes the shampoo, conditioner, and therapeutic gel.
Note that laser therapy can only activate hibernating hair follicles. If you have experienced hair loss for several years, there is a chance that some of your hair follicles are already dead. Dead hair follicles cannot be revived.

Conclusion
Between these two products, iRestore is much more recommended. It is a more powerful device that uses all-laser lights without any regular LED lights. It is also supported with the shampoo, conditioner, and therapeutic gel to support the hair regrowth.
