COMPARING THE ILLUMIFLOW LASER CAP

How is the illumiflow Laser Cap any different from the Capillus laser caps?

The illumiflow Laser Cap is almost perfectly comparable to the Premium Device line from Capillus. Compare the illumiflow Laser Cap to the capillus272pro. The major difference of note here is the price point: with illumiflow, you get equivalent top-quality laser diodes, the same all-over scalp coverage, and even a comparable total package (including everything you need for at-home treatments or on-the-go) for a full third of the price. The way we see it: that balance of quality and affordability equals out to value that simply can’t be beat.

How else is the illumiflow Laser Cap different?

While our laser diodes are perfectly comparable in quality to the capillus272pro, the battery that we use to power the Laser Cap has greater output, resulting in a more consistent output for longer stretches of time. Additionally, the illumiflow Laser Cap overcomes certain notable quality issues related to the functional design of caps like the capillus272pro, resulting in a sturdier package that is capable of standing up to regular long-term use.

How is the illumiflow Laser Cap different from the Theradome Laser Helmet?

We actually love Theradome and especially appreciate how brilliantly their product has been marketed. One thing we don’t love about their product, though, is the limited number of laser diodes and subsequent drop in scalp coverage. As much as we enjoyed the brand, we knew that we could do better, and so we did. Featuring 272 premium-quality laser diodes instead of Theradome’s 80, the Illumiflow Laser Cap does more work in less time across more of the scalp and is more discreet about it, too. All for the same basic price point. Amazing, right?

Is the Laser Cap a better option than a laser comb or laser hood?

In short, yes - for a number of reasons. In addition to being more convenient than these options (with its hands-free operation and discreet profile), the illumiflow Laser Cap simply does a better job of treatment. This is thanks to the hard work of our top-quality laser diodes (272 of them, to be exact), penetrating effortlessly through to the scalp. Who wants to “comb” their hair for 20 minutes every day with a few low-output, limited-exposure lasers when they could sit comfortably in a Laser Cap for the same amount of time and receive consistent exposure from 272 lasers instead? No tired arms (laser comb), no bruised dignity (laser hood) - just an effortless and discreet treatment solution that really works.

Do I need a prescription in order to use the Laser Cap?

The Laser Cap is an FDA-Cleared OTC (over-the-counter) medical device so, unlike many other popular options for LLLT, a prescription is not needed for use. This means no physician costs, no middleman mark-ups, no in-office waits. Getting started with the Laser Cap for LLLT is as easy as clicking “ORDER NOW”.

USING THE LASER CAP

How do I begin treatment with the Laser Cap? Do I need to order it through a doctor?

Unlike many of the semi-comparable laser caps and helmets on the market, illumiflow distributes direct-to-consumer without the need for middlemen taking their cut. This is a big part of how we’ve managed to keep costs down. By selling directly to you, we get to offer a premium-quality product at a price point anyone can afford. Not only that, but getting started is as easy as clicking “ORDER NOW” and receiving your brand new Laser Cap in the mail.

How do I use the Laser Cap?

It’s so easy. Using the Laser Cap is a simple matter of plug-and-play. Plug one side of the battery pack into the wall, plug the other side into your Laser Cap, place the Laser Cap on your head, hit the Power Button, and voilà! - you’re in business. And just in case you get confused along the way, every Laser Cap includes a full Instruction Manual as a standard part of the total package.

Do I need to cut my hair in order for the Laser Cap to work?

Usually not. While every patient is a unique case, most people have no problem with hair “getting in the way” of the Laser Cap’s treatment. Because the red laser light has been calibrated to “shine through” individual stands of hair, your Laser Cap should have no problem penetrating through to the scalp beneath. If you’re still concerned about this, or feel like trimming might deliver better results, we recommend that you consult with your physician for an expert opinion.

Does Low-Level Laser Therapy hurt?

Absolutely not. LLLT is a 100% painless and non-invasive technology with decades of proven use and thousands of peer-reviewed clinical studies to back its claims.

Is the battery pack rechargeable?

Yes, it is. The battery pack is comprised of a 5000mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery designed to last for a minimum of 500 re-charges!

How do I charge the Laser Cap?

1. Unplug the battery pack from the Laser Cap. (The Laser Cap should never be connected to the battery pack while the battery pack is charging.)
2. Connect the battery pack to the wall charger. The blue indicator lights on your battery will blink while it is charging.
3. When the battery pack has reached full charge, all 4 blue indicator lights on your battery pack will be steadily illuminated (not blinking).

How long does the Laser Cap take to charge?

Depending on how much charge the battery is already holding, charging times can range between 3-5 hours. Look for the blue indicator lights to stop blinking - that’s how you’ll know the battery is fully charged.

How long will the battery last on a single charge?

Your battery pack will last between six and eight 30-minute sessions before running out of charge. It has been designed for a minimum of 500 re-charges.

How can I tell if the laser lights are turned on?

If you wish to test the lasers to confirm that they are working, we recommend placing the Laser Cap over an open palm to safely observe the red light from your lasers. The palm of your hand should glow with “speckles” of red light if the lasers are turned ON.

What if I forget to turn the Laser Cap off?

No worries! We built an automatic shutoff into your Laser Cap that will automatically activate after 30 minutes.

Can I leave the Laser Cap attached to the battery pack?

No, preferably not. We recommend unplugging the Laser Cap from the battery pack immediately after every use so as not to unnecessarily drain the battery.

What if I get confused?

No worries! Every Laser Cap includes a full-length User Instruction Manual including everything you need to know in order to get yourself set up for laser hair therapy in a safe manner.

What if I become uncomfortable during a treatment?

This is not normal. The LLLT technology used in our Laser Cap is 100% painless and should never cause discomfort. If you experience any discomfort during a session, discontinue use immediately and consult with your physician ASAP.

The Laser Cap feels loose on my head. Is it supposed to feel loose?

The Laser Cap should sit relatively loosely on most heads, so this isn’t cause for concern. The one-size-fits-most design has been developed for “sit still” treatments, so it’s better suited for a quiet read than a jog down the block. In fact, vigorous activity of any kind should be avoided during any treatment session.

Can other people in my household also use my Laser Cap?

Yes, more than one person in the same household can use the Laser Cap so long as basic rules of hygiene are followed (see CLEANING THE LASER CAP).

Is the Laser Cap safe for children?

The Laser Cap is not approved for children. Do not allow children to use or play with the illumiflow Laser Cap. It is not a toy.

Can I travel with my Laser Cap? If so, how should I pack it?

You absolutely can pack you laser cap in the included carry case for ultimate damage resistance during transit our kit has been designed to fit all gear snugly without squishing any of components.

Can I exercise while wearing the Laser Cap?

Light to moderate movement is ok while wearing the Laser Cap, although we do discourage engaging in vigorous activities of any kind while undergoing a treatment session. Basically, we discourage any activity that might cause the Laser Cap to fall off the head during use.

Can I wear my Laser Cap while taking a bath?

No, absolutely not. Keep the Laser Cap and its accessories away from water as contact with water can cause electrical shock. If the device does fall into water, immediately disconnect it from power at the source. DO NOT EVER reach into or touch the water to retrieve the device while it is connected to power as this could result in an electrical shock.

How long will my Laser Cap last?

The high-quality laser diodes chosen for the illumiflow Laser Cap are rated to last for at least 15,000 hours. As a combined result of the premium-grade lasers and durable materials used to compose the illumiflow Laser Cap, we expect the lifespan of each device to be between 10 and 15 years of regular use.

TREATMENT DETAILS & TIMING

How long before I see actual results?

Phase I: This first phase focuses on minimizing hair loss and can take between 4 and 18 weeks of regular treatments with the Laser Cap.

Phase II: During this phase, miniaturization of the hair is reversed, resulting in thicker, fuller hair. This typically begins to occur after 18-26 weeks of regular treatments with the Laser Cap.

Phase III: It is during this final phase that you should begin to notice renewed hair growth. This process generally begins 26-52 weeks in to regular treatments with the Laser Cap.

*Please bear in mind that individual results may vary.

What is the recommended treatment time?

We recommend sessions lasting at least 30 minutes (but not exceeding 60 minutes) for a period of 6 months. For maintenance, 15-30 minute sessions 2-3 times per week are recommended.

How many times per week can I use the Laser Cap?

We recommend using the Laser Cap every other day for best results. Each session should last a minimum of 15 minutes and should never exceed 60 minutes. For most users, 30-minute sessions constitute the sweet spot.

How many times per day can I use the Laser Cap?

No more than once per day and even that is too often for most users. We recommend using the Laser Cap every other day for best results. Each session should last a minimum of 15 minutes and should never exceed 60 minutes. 30-minute session lengths typically work out best.

How often should I use my Laser Cap?

While every user is unique, we recommend using the Laser Cap every other day for best results. Each session should last a minimum of 15 minutes and should never exceed 60 minutes. 30-minute session lengths typically work out best. Once significant benefits and noticeable results have been achieved, we recommend an ongoing maintenance schedule of 2-3 sessions per week.

When is the best time to use the Laser Cap?

We always recommend starting your treatment right after a shower. Get that hair nice and wet and clean, towel it down, and then enjoy your treatment session. This timing is ideal because the scalp is generally more “visible” just after a shower when your hair is still slightly moist. One word of caution, however: we DO NOT recommend conducting treatments on soaking wet hair, so be sure to towel off first.

Can I use the Laser Cap every single day?

No. The Laser Cap should not be used more often than once every other day. We recommend a session length of 30 minutes every other day based on user feedback and best results.

How can I track my treatment progress?

Pictures! We believe strongly in the power of before-and-afters and always recommend that our users take plenty of photos along the way. Take photos before your first session, then continue to do so at regular stages throughout the course of your treatment.

How long will I need to continue treatments?

Think of laser hair therapy as similar to exercise: your best results come from integrating the activity as a part of your daily lifestyle. Even after you have achieved significant benefits and noticeable results from your Laser Cap treatments, we recommend an ongoing maintenance schedule of 2-3 sessions per week.

Is it safe to use the Laser Cap along with other hair loss treatments such as Rogaine?

It sure is! In fact, adding LLLT to your current hair growth regimen should help to notably increase the rate and quality of your hair recovery. We recommend consulting with your physician, too, though, since it is often possible to gradually decrease medication dosages over time when paired with LLLT, making your life easier and (of course) your hair healthier.

Is it safe to use the Laser Cap while taking hair loss medications, like Propecia?

As with Rogaine, LLLT can actually serve to complement your current hair growth regimen. If you’re concerned about doubling-up, however, we always recommend consulting with your physician for an expert opinion. In many cases, it is possible to gradually decrease medication dosages over time when paired with LLLT, making your life easier and your hair healthier (yay!).

Is an increase in shedding normal during treatment?

In fact, it can be. While every user is a unique case, increased shedding may occur at the beginning of treatment. But don’t worry - there’s no need for alarm.

Should I be using any special types of shampoo to complement the Laser Cap treatments?

Hair loss is often associated with fungus and inflammation, so we always recommend using medicated and anti-fungal shampoos to clean the hair prior to each treatment session.

Should I shampoo every day?

While everyone’s hair and hygiene needs are different, we typically recommend shampooing every 2-3 days.

Can I use conditioner while undergoing Laser Cap treatments? If so, should I?

You sure can! Unlike shampoos (which are designed primarily for the scalp), conditioners are designed for the hair. You are welcome to use any conditioner that softens your hair. Whether or not you should do this is entirely up to you.

CLEANING THE LASER CAP

Can I clean my Laser Cap?

Absolutely. First confirm that the power is turned off at the battery pack, and then disconnect the USB power connection from the Laser Cap. NEVER attempt to clean the Laser Cap while connected to power. You can clean the inner surface of the Laser Cap with a fresh, damp cloth or use an alcohol wipe. Be sure not to use copious amounts of water and definitely DO NOT immerse the device in water.

DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY

Can the Laser Cap actually help me?

Based on our experience and results gathered from thousands of clinical studies, all users of the Laser Cap have benefited, experiencing one or more of the following:

1. Minimized and/or slowed loss of hair;
2.  An increase in hair follicle size of existing hair (often doubling in size);
3. New growth of healthy hair. While each case is unique, we feel absolutely confident stating that you (and your hair) will benefit noticeably from regular use of the illumiflow Laser Cap.

Is the Laser Cap suitable for both men and women?

Absolutely! The illumiflow Laser Cap is rated for both men and women.

Can the Laser Cap help to thicken my hair, too?

Oh yes, absolutely. One of the primary benefits of regular treatment with the illumiflow Laser Cap is, in fact, thicker hair. LLLT should increase both the thickness and the density of hair follicles, resulting in hair that is thicker, fuller, and healthier.

How do I know if the Laser Cap is right for me?

We recommend determining your eligibility based on the following scale:

illumiflow is designed to effectively treat hair loss in males with hair loss classification levels 2A, 3, 3A, 3 Vertex, 4, 4A, and 5.

illumiflow is designed to effectively treat hair loss in females with hair loss classification levels 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 11-1, 11-2

And remember, the earlier you can begin treatment, the better the outcome. So even if you’re not noticeably exhibiting signs of hair loss yet, your scalp can still benefit from regular treatments of LLLT, resulting in hair that is fuller, thicker, and healthier.

Can I use the Laser Cap if I’ve had a hair transplant?

In fact, yes. Hair transplants can cause a bit of trauma to nearby “native” hair, so treating the hair and scalp with LLLT prior to and post-transplant can be very beneficial, helping to alleviate the shock of your operation and providing important energy to the scalp. The Laser Cap can also assist the growth of newly planted follicles by accelerating healing, reducing inflammation, minimizing discomfort, and encouraging faster growth

Does the Laser Cap help with dermatitis and itching?

Since the FDA has not yet cleared this device for treatment of dermatitis or itching, we cannot currently market its usage for such treatment. However, since a root cause of both dermatitis and itching is inflammation of the scalp, and the Laser Cap has been specifically designed to reduce inflammation of the scalp, many patients have reported positive results in this area.

Is it ever too early to begin using the Laser Cap?

Absolutely not. In fact, the earlier a person can begin using a device like our Laser Cap for LLLT, the better. In addition to treating various stages of hair loss, laser hair therapy can add volume to your hair and increase the health of your scalp. In other words, the Laser Cap is as well suited to hair maintenance as it is to hair growth.

I’m in my early 20s and my mother and/or father is bald. Can I prevent hair loss?

Very likely you can, yes. While you may not be experiencing any symptoms of hair loss yet, it is so much easier to prevent hair loss than it is to re-activate dormant hair follicles. By using the Laser Cap as a regular part of your scalp and hair regimen, you will help to reverse hair miniaturization and provide your hair with the energy it needs to keep on growing thick and full and healthy.

I am currently being treated for cancer. Can I use the Laser Cap?

This is a very special case. As such, we must urge you to consult with your physician prior to using the Laser Cap if you are currently undergoing treatment for cancer. It should also be noted that cancer treatments are known to result in hair loss and a negative impact on hair quality even after hair growth has resumed post-treatment. Because of this, expert consultation is advised for recovering cancer patients. With the right care, the Laser Cap should result in a dramatic improvement in the quality of your hair, but normal usage of the device should only be resumed after cancer treatment has ended.

Are there any medical conditions that could interfere with the effectiveness of this treatment (LLLT)?

It’s important to understand that underlying medical conditions, along with any medications that they may require, can be the cause of slower-than-average results from LLLT. This is why it’s so important to consult with a physician and properly diagnose the cause of hair loss as well as identify any underlying conditions (especially conditions such as thyroid disease, anemia, or scalp conditions such as psoriasis).

Will the lasers even reach my scalp if I have a full head of hair?

Our premium-quality laser diodes have been calibrated to “shine through” the individual strands of your hair, so having a full head of hair should not in any way interfere with the effectiveness of your Laser Cap treatments. For best results, use the Laser Cap immediately after showering and towel-drying your hair - the treatment works best on moist, clean hair.

Do I need to worry about sizing, or is the Laser Cap one-size-fits-all?

The Laser Cap has been designed using a one-size-fits-most philosophy. (We say one-size-fits-most to be safe, but we honestly can’t say that we’ve found a head it doesn’t fit yet.) Regardless of your head size, you should feel perfectly confident choosing the Laser Cap from illumiflow.

Does the Laser Cap work for light hair colors like blonde or gray?

All current industry studies indicate that LLLT is equally effective on all hair types. This data has borne out in our own experience as well. Put simply, you can expect great results from the Laser Cap, even if you have lighter hair.

THE LASER CAP FOR WOMEN

Is the Laser Cap safe for women?

It sure is! While there are certainly some prescription medications for hair loss that are NOT safe for women, the LLLT technology employed by the illumiflow Laser Cap is 100% safe for women and certified by the FDA. In fact, factors such as convenience and discretion coupled with the overall effectiveness of LLLT make the Laser Cap a top choice for women suffering from thinning, shedding, or balding.

My hair began to thin and even fall out after my pregnancy. Can your product help?

Yes, it can! Provided you are done breastfeeding, regular use of the Laser Cap can help to strengthen and even regrow hair.

Can I use your product while breastfeeding?

No. LLLT is not recommended while breastfeeding; therefore, we DO NOT recommend using the Laser Cap while breastfeeding.

I am a mature woman and my hair has become damaged and thin. Can your product help?

It sure can! With proper and regular use, the illumiflow Laser Cap can help to restore health to your hair and scalp, resulting in thicker hair follicles, increased volume, a reversal of shedding, and even new growth!

I am currently pregnant. Can I use your product while pregnant?

No. LLLT is not recommended during pregnancy; therefore, we DO NOT recommend using the Laser Cap while pregnant unless specifically advised to do so by your physician.

CERTIFIED SAFETY & SIDE EFFECTS

Is the Laser Cap FDA Cleared?

It sure is! The illumiflow Laser Cap is cleared by the FDA as a 510(k) Medical Device for OTC (over-the-counter) use. Illumiflow received its FDA Clearance for the Laser Cap on January 12, 2017.

What is FDA Clearance? Why is it important?

The FDA qualifies items like the Laser Cap for its overall safety and effectiveness as a medical device. The process for gaining FDA Clearance is quite demanding and extremely time-consuming, but we consider the effort worthwhile since the safety and confidence of our users means more to us than just about anything else in the world. FDA validation safeguards consumers from false claims and dangerous medical equipment and requires rigorous testing, laboratory and clinical trials, and extensive data analysis in order to meet a high standard of excellence.

By gaining FDA 510(k) Clearance, the illumiflow Laser Cap has distinguished itself as a legitimate and effective medical device backed by thorough testing, built to meticulous standards, and certified-safe for regular use.

Are there any known or potential side effects from using the Laser Cap?

There are no known or potential side effects to using the illumiflow Laser Cap. This has been rigorously tested and verified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Unlike many alternative hair loss treatments and prescription medications, the Laser Cap’s laser hair therapy is completely safe, with zero side effects.

Could the Laser Cap cause cancer?

In a word: no. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a proven technology that has been around for decades. It is perfectly safe and painless, and produces no ionizing radiation. There are over 1,500 peer-reviewed papers supporting the safety and effectiveness of LLLT for biostimulation. Furthermore, the Laser Cap and its LLLT technology have been fully cleared by the FDA after undergoing rigorous testing, laboratory and clinical trials, and extensive data analysis in order to meet a high standard of excellence.

As always, we recommend consulting with a physician if you have any additional concerns or underlying conditions. Those recovering from scalp cancer should refrain from using the Laser Cap as its technology can activate the growth of both healthy and unhealthy cells.

Are the lasers dangerous…?

We always advocate basic safety precautions when using devices like the Laser Cap. While the premium-grade laser diodes used in the Laser Cap are perfectly safe, we do not recommend staring directly into them. Instead, place the Laser Cap over an open palm to safely observe the red light from your lasers.

Are there clinical results to support your claims regarding LLLT?

Absolutely. There are over 1,500 peer-reviewed papers supporting the safety and effectiveness of LLLT for biostimulation. Furthermore, the Laser Cap and its LLLT technology have been fully cleared by the FDA after undergoing rigorous testing, laboratory and clinical trials, and extensive data analysis in order to meet a high standard of excellence.

Can the lasers hurt my eyes?

While the premium-grade laser diodes used in the Laser Cap are perfectly safe, we do not recommend staring directly into them. Instead, place the Laser Cap over an open palm to safely observe the red light from your lasers. In other words, please apply common sense and use basic safety precautions when using a device like the Laser Cap.

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS

Why do the red lights blink on and off during use?

This is a brilliant question! The lasers in your Laser Cap “pulse” for several important functional reasons:

• Firstly, our lasers pulse in order to maintain a consistent output of 4-6 mw of red light energy all the way across the total circumference of the scalp without overtaxing the battery. Certain other popular laser caps miss this critical element, resulting in a reduction in battery life as well as a reduction in laser output (measured at just 2-4 mw compared to our 4-6 mw).
• Secondly, choosing to “pulse” our lasers ensures safety, since constant-on output from 272 lasers simultaneously would cause the cap to become way too hot, even unsafe to use!
• Finally, the pulsing or blinking action of our red light lasers significantly increases the lifespan of the lasers themselves along with every other element of the electrical board that runs them.

So, in the end, what you get is a 100% safe and consistent output of red light energy from a Laser Cap + Battery Combo that you can count on to support your hair restoration goals long term. Pretty amazing, right??

What differentiates lasers from LEDs for hair growth?

Put simply, laser light is very focused compared with LED light, which prefers to “spread out” in all directions. This spreading action means that LED light loses its penetrative power rapidly as it travels. Many inferior so-called “hair growth” devices try to cut corners by utilizing LEDs in place of real lasers. This results in a cost reduction but also fully negates the effectiveness of the device, as LEDs do not contain adequate power to penetrate the base of hair follicles or reverse hair loss in any way. Our premium-grade laser diodes have been specifically calibrated to stimulate hair growth and scrupulously tested to ensure effectiveness. In other words: BEWARE LEDs and false claims; trust illumiflow instead.

To learn more about the differences between our lasers and LEDs for hair growth, visit our HOW IT WORKS page.

I read somewhere that plastic can block the effects of lasers. Is this true?

In fact, this is true in some cases. Fortunately for all of our users, however, we took this into consideration early on in the design phase of our Laser Cap. Since the effective quality of the Laser Cap hinges on the consistent output of our lasers, we test our diodes both flat-on-the-board prior to assembly and then again once assembly has been completed to ensure that no power has been lost in the process. In fact, our diodes are tested multiple times throughout the process of production and assembly, guaranteeing flawless function and long-lasting dependability for our users.

Why are more diodes better? Does it really make any difference?

Having more diodes actually has quite a significant effect on the quality of your treatment. In simplest terms, the more diodes you have, the more scalp coverage you will experience as a result. Devices that use lower numbers of laser diodes do so because it costs less to manufacture, but significant benefits to hair health are lost along the way by simple virtue of the fact that less of the scalp is receiving direct treatment when lower numbers of laser diodes are being used. Additionally, larger numbers of diodes ensure greater consistency across the scalp, meaning that no part of your head is left feeling neglected! The illumiflow Laser Cap uses 272 laser diodes in its design - the highest number of laser diodes available in a device of this style at this time.

Is the Laser Cap covered by my insurance?

In most cases, OTC (over-the-counter) devices like the Laser Cap will not be covered by medical insurance. We have worked hard to mitigate this inconvenience, however, by bringing our solution to market at an exceptionally aggressive price point. (Compare our Laser Cap to the capillus272pro, which retails at around $3000.)

How much does the Laser Cap weigh?

The Laser Cap has been designed with your ultimate comfort and safety in mind. It weighs in at just around 8 ounces, or half of a pound (without the included baseball cap installed).

Is your electrical adapter compatible with all international electrical outlets?

It is not. Our electrical components are manufactured in compliance with U.S. standards and designed to operate via the included AC Adapter, which is appropriate for standard U.S. electrical outlets. International use may require additional adapters corresponding with available electrical outlets.

Is the Laser Cap waterproof?

The illumiflow Laser Cap and its accessories are NOT WATERPROOF. Keep the Laser Cap and its accessories away from water while in use and also when stored. Be sure the device cannot fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. Contact with water may result in an electrical shock, so NEVER reach into or touch the water if the device falls into water.

Are the lasers hot?

Never. Our lasers are cool-to-the-touch and safe to handle. They should never burn your hands, your hair, or your scalp.

What are the technical dimensions of the Laser Cap?

Interior Dimensions (LxWxH) = 7.87 x 6.69 x 2.95 in.

Front to Back = 7.87 in.

Side to Side = 6.69 in.

Depth = 2.95 in.
