Hey hey,

My laser messiah just rocked up at my doorstep looking all awesome and stylish, like a fancy hat out of the fifth element.  It did get a bit squished up on the way over though so will need some wearing in - my mannequin head’ll be taking over these duties once it arrives.

With it getting squished, some of the diodes have pushed through the helmet and they’re all at different distances from the hole, if that makes any sense.  Question I have is are they supposed to be flush with the inside of the helmet or the outside?  I hope you can work out what I mean there.  I’m not sure where they’re supposed to sit to be at the right distance from my head.

Thanks a lot for the helmet anyway OMG!  It looks amazing, can’t wait to try it out.

OUTSIDE!  ...and yeah, I’m working on that problem!  Shipping can be tough on them sometimes -even as well as I try to pack them!  although just getting them close will be good enough, though.  It’s all about long-term averages, and it’ll eventually even out.

Don’t forget to ENJOY THE TREATMENT!  Oh, and use it after a shower (in which you’ve really scrubbed your head with your nails and used a good non-sls shampoo if you’ve got one), towel dry your hair, and use it for 20 minutes/three times a week!

I’ll be lasering post clay and shower and was thinking I’d start with less time because I’m pale like a ghost.  15 mins, 3 x a week then movin on up from there if skies are blue and the weather is fine.  I’ve read a few people’s posts saying they found their optimal times were 12-15 minutes or they’d come out feeling burnt. Dudes did seem generally negative though.  Do you think it’s worth starting with lower times for fairer skin types?

TWENTY MINUTES!

Yeah, don’t listen to those guys -the reason they feel a burning sensation is because they’ve either got JACKED diodes that are giving off a lot of heat or they have a case like chronic dry skin that causes a buildup like I spell out here: http://www.worldhairloss.org/index.php/forums/viewthread/181/#1732

No matter what their reasons, they are a tiny, tiny percentage of the lasering population -so, TWENTY MINUTES!  I’m pale as a ghost, too… that’s the timeframe that does the magic!

Hahaha!  Awesome. 

Those dudes look like the business guys in die hard.  Obviously all laser users, too bad for Maclaine though, he was too busy kicking ass.

Joey, I’m starting my third week with my laser helmet, @ 20 minute session 3x a week, and have had no burning or uncomfortable sensations, and I’m very fair-skinned, so I imagine you’ll probably be fine with 20 minutes as well.

Also, I’m sure that John McClane would’ve benefited from a Laser Messiah had they existed back in the late 80’s. Yippee-ki-yay.

Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb!

I would strongly recommend boar bristle brushing your scalp good prior to showering.  This loosens up all of the dead skin that’ll get in the way of the laser penetration.  Still use your nails on your scalp in the shower, but this is very thorough!
