Laser Question

I recently started using my Lasermax 50 and think I have overstimulated. Seems like my hair took a slight hit and I'm pretty pissed. Here's the question, is laser therapy not suitable for some users, or should I just drastically cut back and assume it will be useful? I haven't really followed the laser threads, so I appreciate any insights.

Should be 3x a week for 15-20 mins. Looks like 3-4 month mark is when new hairs/thickness comes in. I don't know if the clay thing is a benefit or not with this. I would probably stop shampoos and topicals to see if it improves with lasers only. I think what happens is you get some regrowth, some thickness/bounce and some maintenance. But I think it's necessary to have one

I always wonder about lasers though, if having some fat/thickness on your scalp is a good thing and if lasers decrease fat on the scalp skin and the skin's thickness.

Gibson, what's your take on the ultimate meal? Can you lose weight on it? Gyno/estro issues lowered? I keep looking at the reviews but they're a little MLM slanted.

Hey Whip,

Thanks for the response. Still wondering if I should drop the laser. It definitely caused some frontal loss. My guess is there is a sweet spot in terms of usage that needs to be dialed in by the user.

Regarding the ultimate meal, you should be able to lose weight/fat on it, but I'm not sure how far it would go in terms of reducing gyno. Generally, I think fat loss is key to reducing estro since estro predisposes one to putting on fat. In this case, Mr. E's motto might be the best prescription: "the fat you eat is the fat you wear."

BTW what's MLM?

Also, I've noticed since coming out swinging about the ultimate meal: the stuff is sold out everywhere. There is literally only one vitaminshoppe in NYC that has a large can in stock. Never had a problem getting it before. I should get a cut for promoting the stuff.

You could try stopping the laser for a while and see if that helps. Maybe you could sub something else (topical or internal regimen) for it to see if the front fills in or thickens.

I was checking out the ingredients for ultimate meal, looks like the energy benefit is there, i wanted something to replace whey and a few vitamins, etc. I only eat once a day anyway, so I don't need it for feeling full/meal replacement, etc.

Mlm is multi-level marketing, that's probably why it's sold out even at the high price. I think there's a lot of good reviews, usually ones that say it tastes awful are true ones, just wondered what the benefits were overall.

The largest benefit I experiences was more of a detox and an alkaline affect, so to speak. That's what made me like it a lot. Also seems to balance blood sugar. Those summed up means less inflammation. At least that's how it worked for me.

Of course I'm needlessly tooting my horn, but I have been buying it for a while at several vitamin shoppes and never even had to look for it. Suddenly I drop a vitamin shoppe link with it and now I can't get the stuff--no joke, only one store in the city has the large container. In any case it serves my ego to think it was my doing even if I am wrong.

I'm not familiar with the LaserMax 50, since it uses focused lasers as opposed to unfocused. Maybe 10 minutes twice a week for a few months, and see how that works out for you? Could be overstimulation.

The Ultimate Meal is good stuff...well worth the price when you consider the ingredient quantity, quality, and the price per day. Can grab it off Amazon for $45 and free S&H, or get the VIP discount and free S&H from iHerb and breaks down to about $1.50 a day. Not bad for a very healthy start to your day.

Thanks for the response nid. i was hoping you would chime in. i had wondered if the lasers were focused or diffused on the lasermax. is it simple to make them diffused, as it's easy to access the lasers on the unit? i am certain i over stimulated. In fact I am certain i have never used the device correctly, which is why I've had it all these years and never really taken to it. I'm going to try twice a week at 10 minutes and see how that goes. With summer upon us, I imagine that the low dose will be better. Actually today after catching rays, my hair was in much worse shape which never happens, usually the opposite. The extra stimulation from the sun seemed to exacerbate the problem.
