This year, I turned 40. And, since around the time I turned 30, my hair has been thinning in the crown, as well as the parietal ridge, temples and nape. I have used lasers and light therapy devices at-home for hair removal, anti-aging and acne, but had not heard of using a laser device to help regrow hair until I stumbled across a post on Instagram for the HairMax Ultima 12 LaserComb, which is an 8 minute laser light hair growth device, clinically proven and FDA approved for men & women. After seeing the post on Instagram, I immediately began researching laser light therapy for hair growth, looking for scientific information, and scouring the internet for before & after photos. I reached out to HairMax, shared my story with an interest in trying their products, and HairMax graciously sent me an Ultima 12 LaserComb with the 4pc. Den•si•ty Hair Care bundle. I am so grateful to have received these products from HairMax to help regrow my hair. I will be sharing my results with you all here on my blog in the coming weeks.
And, so begins my HairMax journey… After receiving the Ultima 12 LaserComb, I plugged it right away to charge while I began reading the user manual. I have used the device three times so far and it is SO easy to use! Each treatment only lasts 8 minutes, and the device is very lightweight. At first, I was worried that my hand and arm would get very tired and sore, but that is not the case at all. I can use the LaserComb while watching TV, reading a book, or even walking around the house, its that easy. I am so excited to see how well the device works long term and am looking forward to sharing my results over the next 16 weeks trial period. If you are experiencing hair loss and are undecided whether HairMax will work for you, please revisit my blog over the next 16 weeks to see progress photos and additional thoughts that I will be adding to this post. I hope my story and progress updates will be of some help to you. Continue reading, and please feel free to send an email or reach out on social to connect and follow me for updates!

Hair loss and thinning hair isn’t something that most of us like to talk about, but statistically speaking, one in four women will suffer from hair loss. Men may be more likely to lose their hair than women, mostly due to male pattern baldness, but hair loss and thinning hair are also common in women, and no less demoralizing. Reasons can range from the simple and temporary—a vitamin deficiency—to the more complex, like an underlying health condition. In many cases, there are ways to prevent and treat male and female hair loss, depending on the cause. The most common cause of hair loss is androgenic alopecia, better known as hereditary hair loss or female pattern baldness.
Compared to the expensive cost associated with hair transplant procedures by hair transplant doctors or plastic surgeons, HairMax offers more affordable hair growth solution products that can be purchased online, and deliver the same desired result without the risks associated with hair transplant procedures.
According to WebMD and the U.S. National Library of Medicine:
- While hair transplant cost will depend largely on the amount of hair you’re moving, it generally ranges from $4,000 to $15,000.
- Insurance plans do not cover hair transplant cost, as it’s cosmetic and not medically mandatory.
- The risks of hair transplant include bleeding, inflammation, infection, scarring, and unnatural-looking new hair growth.
- It’s possible to suddenly lose some of the original hair in the area where you got the new strands, called shock loss. But most of the time, it’s not permanent.

Helpful information and facts about hair loss:
Did you know that the average woman loses between 50 and 100 strands per day, even up to 150 in some cases? But, if you’re like me, and you feel like you’ve started to lose an excessive amount of hair each day, try this trick: Take about 60 hairs between your fingers and pull, running your fingers through your hair. Usually between 5 and 8 hairs, which is ‘normal’. An excess of 15 hairs, however, is not as common and means you are losing more hair than you should be.
