Laser therapy for hair loss has generated some heated debates, especially after the recent and controversial FDA “clearance” of the HairMax LaserComb. While some hair restoration doctors reject its use entirely, other physicians use it as a regular part of their practice for hair transplant postoperative healing and to treat baldness.

A number of hair loss forum threads have been dedicated to this topic recently and are worth exploring to decide if you think lasers have any benefit for genetic balding.

There is no other hair loss treatment more effective than Propecia (finasteride) to stop the progression of male pattern baldness. Propecia, which contains 1mg of finasteride has been clinically tested and approved for daily use by the FDA. However, do the results of this test suggest that 1mg of finasteride is also the most effective dosage? Would hair loss sufferers potentially experience more hair regrowth when taking larger dosages? Would taking Propecia every other day be just as effective as taking it daily?

In this hair loss forum discussion, patient members ask these very important questions, and Coalition Member Dr. Jerry Cooley answers. You are encouraged to offer your input on this very important topic.
