INTRODUCTION
Introduction of HairMax LaserComb
®
The HairMax LaserComb is a home-use laser device that has been Clinically Proven to treat hereditary hair loss in men and women. The LaserComb is an over-the-counter (OTC) device that can be sold directly to the public.
Indications
The HairMax LaserComb Ultima 9 and 12 models are indicated to treat Androgenetic Alopecia, and promote hair growth in females who have Ludwig (Savin) I-4, II-1, II-2, or frontal patterns of hair loss and in males who have Norwood Hamilton Classifications of IIa to V and who both have Fitzpatrick Skin Types I to IV.
How the LaserComb works
The LaserComb works by pro­viding laser energy to stimulate hair follicles. For optimal results, the laser must not be blocked by the hair and must have an unobstructed path to the scalp.
The LaserComb has teeth that part the hair and allow the maximum amount of laser energy to reach the scalp.
Treatment with HairMax LaserComb
The LaserComb should be used 3 times per week, spaced out every other day. For example, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. The LaserComb should not be used more than the recommended treatment time per day. Recommended treatment: Ultima 9 g 11 minutes, Ultima 12 g 8 minutes. Clinical studies demonstrate that most users see benefits in as little as 16 weeks.
HairMax LaserComb Benefits
A clinical study was conducted in men and women over a six month time period. The study showed that 90% of the men and women had an increase in the number of hairs (based on a minimum of 32 new hairs per square inch being observed at follow up).
See pages 7-8 for detailed results of the study.

WHO IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR HAIRMAX LASERCOMB?
How do you know if the HairMax LaserComb is right for you?
The LaserComb can be used by men and women with thinning hair (including color treated hair) or pattern baldness caused by a hereditary condition. Doctors use a system known as the Norwood Hamilton Classification (men) and the Ludwig-Savin Classification (women) to describe the degree of hair loss. Below are the pictures of the scales. The shaded areas show the type of hair loss that can be treated with the LaserComb.

Look at the spot where you held the laser light over the next five minutes. If you see any reaction such as redness or rash, do not use the LaserComb and contact our Customer Service toll-free at 1-866-527-3726 to return your product and get a refund.
Only use the LaserComb as directed. Do not try to change the way the LaserComb operates. Changes may result in harmful laser exposure. Contact Customer Service toll-free at 1-866-527-3726 for repairs.
Never use acetone or other solvents on any part of the LaserComb. Use of solvents on the window can block the laser light from coming through.
