Hey all, just wanted to say that I got my OMG-built laser helmet today in the mail, and had my first laser session tonight (20 minutes). Afterwards, my scalp felt like it was slightly buzzing and tingly; anyway, I had no pain or discomfort. I’m so glad to have finally started; I’m excited to start seeing some results in a few months! Thanks OMG! You rule! (Also, your new avatar is kickass.)

You are well on your way to a better life! lol…

Don’t forget to simply ENJOY THE TREATMENT.  Relax and enjoy the soothing, buzzy, tingly feeling for those 20 minutes!  Feel “secure”!  Let the force surround you and “let go”!

And by the way…


Your signature is THE BEST SCENE in the history of the Batman series!  Oversaturated colors, crazy tilted camera angles, slapstick comedy, great dialogue… all with an increased budget compared to all the other Batman scenes!

It’s a true work of art!  Nuns, ducks, fat chicks, tubas, and a moral lecture at the end… It’s got the works!

I second OMG about the experience.    That’s Laser Blood Irradiation you can feel. 

That SOD(antioxidant) stimulation and resulting high-energy feeling of increased health is something I look forward to everytime.

Joey - I got the 300-diode helmet. I’m liking it so far. It’s only the second session and it is already feeling more comfortable wearing it.


OMG - Thanks! I definitely took your advice for my second session (tonight) and tried to relax a little bit more. About 10 minutes in, I started getting that tingly feeling and now—20 minutes after my session—I can still feel it. smile


Also, OMG, that scene on the pier is one of the funniest scenes of all time! I used to love Adam West-Batman as a kid; that whole movie was epic, hilarious cheese (from Anti-Shark Repellent Bat Spray and exploding sharks, the crazy outfits & kitschy dialogue, to the infamous “bomb” scene). I firmly believe Adam West should do more acting (I love him on Family Guy); his deadpan oddness is infinitely amusing. In fact, I was going to use one or another of his Family Guy lines for my signature….until I found that Batman avatar. After that, I knew exactly what my signature had to be. cheese

Strange that you mention that. I had that problem last week. I had like 4 of them in a couple of days. I used some Garnier facial scrub and they cleared up in a couple days….no idea what caused it though.

OMG or anyone else have any ideas???

I also got those when I first started….at the time I remember someone on the boards saying that the red pimples are a good indicator of progress.  But i don’t get them anymore so I’m not sure if it’s actually an indicator of progress or just an initial reaction that the scalp has to lasers.


After 5 months of nothing, my new regimen as of mid December 2011 is below:


1.  Rejuveplex 1.5 droppers at night
2.  Super Zix II with resveratrol/curcumin once a day but rinsed out after 30 minutes
2.  1.25mg finesteride every day        
3.  20-30 min LLLT 3x a week    


monthly cost:  Approx. $50

stalled for the moment…I’ve kicked up the laser sessions to 4 times a week and added folligen…I’ll post pics again in two months, that’ll be 3 months on the new regimen.  But even keeping what you have should be considered a win, so I’m at least thankful for that.

Sounds good. I don’t know anything about Folligen. What is it, and what it is supposed to do?

Folligen is a copper peptide solution created by the inventor of tricomin…he left the tricomin company in the 1990s.  He then created the folligen formula which has 31 times more copper peptides than tricomin.  (tricomin actually dyes their solution blue, while folligen has such a high copper peptide percentage that it looks like blue ink)  a quick google search found that copper peptide treatments

  *  increased follicle size
  * rebuilt the blood supply to damaged follicles
  * increased melanin synthesis, necessary to keep hair from turning white
  * increased subcutaneous fat below the scalp, needed to produce thick healthy hair
  * lengthened the hair growth phase
  * inhibited the formation of DHT
  * repaired scalp damage
  * healed inflammation

which to me sounds a lot like what LLLT can do..so i think they may work well together…some say folligen works great when used in combination with minox, but I don’t like minox.  I will say that it can make your scalp itchy sometimes, especially at first, but that goes away over time.

You should do some research of your own on it.

Cool. I was just looking @ their site. It’d be interesting to see if it would work well in conjunction with LLLT. Do you use the cream, spray, or combo?

Do you think night topicals should be used straight after taking the helmet off or left for a while for whatever reason, give the head time to breathe or something?

I just wanted to give a quick update.  I’m in my 6th week of treatment with my LaserMessiah, and I’ve started to notice a little more shedding than normal over the last week or so. I’ve heard that shedding around this point is normal for LLLT, so I’m trying my best to keep positive!

I’m also trying to NOT look at the thin spot on my head in the mirror daily, but it’s hard. I know that results will show up over the course of a few months, and I should be patient, but it’s a hard habit to break!

I’ve been looking into possibly adding Folligen and Zix to my regimen pretty soon, too. That’s all for now.
