Nothing could have prepared me for the sense of abandonment I’d feel when the hair that’s been with me all my life decided to go on its own personal journey. I get that hair thinning happens, but by the same token, our hair is so much a part of our identity. I had to find a solution to hang onto as many strands as possible.
I don’t live under a rock, so I know there are all manner of solutions for hair loss. I’m not interested in serums, sprays, supplements, or surgery. That leaves Low Level Laser Therapy. To zero in on the best option for me, I looked into three popular options: iRESTORE Elite, Capillus, and HairMax.
Read on to see which Low Level Laser Therapy growth system did wonders for me.
The hair growth system that actually works…iRESTORE Elite
Regrowth after hair thinning is a long process that requires consistent effort. I’ve started to see results, but I’m buckled in for a long road ahead and have great hope. When I zoom out and look at the numbers, it’s obvious that iRESTORE Elite is the most committed to making this happen for me.
Let’s look at two factors:
The combination of LEDs and lasers. Unlike competitors' laser-only devices, the iRESTORE Elite uniquely combines lasers and LEDs. Here's the distinct advantage: devices with only lasers point directly downwards, inevitably leaving unattended gaps on the scalp. In contrast, LEDs disperse light at an angle, ensuring thorough coverage!
This means that with the iRESTORE Elite, those gaps left by lasers are efficiently filled in by the LEDs. Furthermore, the iRESTORE Elite boasts 200 LEDs and 300 lasers (for a whopping total of 500 hair growing diodes) versus the Capillus’s 202-312 lasers and the HairMax LaserBands’s 41 to 82 laser modules. The math here is simple: more lasers mean faster and better results. Based on this, as well as my experience so far, It's obvious which device works the best here, and is our winner.
Then there’s power output. iRESTORE Elite tops the charts again, putting out 2,500 mW, as opposed to output ranging as low as 1,360 mW from its competitors. Again, more power means more effectiveness and my results from iRESTORE speak for themselves.
The one with the best scalp coverage…iRESTORE Elite
I think it’s charming that the Capillus masks itself as a baseball cap as if I’m actually going to leave the premises with this device on. I’m not here to fool the masses; I’m here to get my hair back in ship shape.
iRESTORE recognizes that this is a treatment that you’ll be staying home to use, and their device covers the entire front, back, top, and sides of your noggin. What's more, thanks to their Lumitech™ technology, the iRESTORE Elite's 500 diodes cover more area INSIDE the device compared to competitors. As mentioned before, the combination of lasers and LEDs is key here. The 300 lasers point directly downward at the scalp, while the 200 LEDs cast light at an angle, ensuring comprehensive scalp coverage. This Lumitech™ technology is no joke!
As for the HairMax—is it even trying? This device claims it has full scalp coverage, but it’s really just a band, so you constantly have to move it around. It’s tiresome and inconvenient and really not worth the time.
The one with a consistent, efficient treatment time…iRESTORE Elite
Some of these systems tout daily sessions as short as 3 minutes, but having used all three, I can say that it's a pipe dream if you want to see real, actual results within a few months. Go ahead and check out their reviews to see for yourselves how long these daily sessions should take (spoiler: they are not 3 minutes!).
To pose a nice, reasonable compromise, iRESTORE Elite goes for absolute efficiency, borrowing you for just 12 minutes per day. I love that I can predict this, I can plan for it, and I can work it into my daily routine. They also offer a package with a rechargeable battery pack to keep you moving and not plugged into a wall!
The cheapest option…HairMax
The truth is, there is no quick-and-easy hair regrowth treatment that will give you miraculous results without commitment. I figure, if I’m going to commit, I want to invest in what will actually work. To compare prices between these three, the Capillus costs up to $3,000 and the HairMax models range from $200-$600. Yet again providing a middle ground that’s anything but moderate in efficacy, iRESTORE retails at $2,499. But—score!—I got mine with a $500 discount, bringing the cost down to $1,899 for me.
Bottom line: I love my iRESTORE Elite
Of the three hair regrowth caps, iRESTORE Elite has the most power, the best coverage, and the most efficient treatment times. It’s quality, and the results are really promising. Jump on that promotional price like I did so you can get your locks looking luxurious again for a really reasonable investment!
P.S. To sweeten the deal even further, there's a 12-month satisfaction guarantee AND a payment plan starting at just over $96 a month. What have you got to lose?
