Great alternative to surgery!
Illumiflow is very easy to use as its 30 minutes every other day. I have been using it for about 7 months and have seen good results. I'm excited to see what the next 12 months bring.

Why illumiflow Laser Caps Cost Less Than Capillus
illumiflow laser caps are not simply a discounted version of Capillus -- in fact, it’s quite the opposite. The reason for the stark cost difference between the two, despite both having FDA clearance, proven results, and medical-grade lasers is: illumiflow sells laser caps directly to its customers, while Capillus primarily sells laser caps through its physicians network and has three levels of markups before “hitting the shelf”.
At Capillus, you’re getting a quality hair growth solution, but paying a number of middle-men along the way -- driving up the cost you are required to pay.
At illumiflow, you’re getting what the FDA says is “substantially equivalent” to Capillus laser caps at a fraction of the cost as we’ve cut out the middle-man markups and passed along the savings to your pocket book.
Purchase your laser cap at a fraction of the cost today.
illumiflow vs Capillus
Quality Standards
In some of the most important ways, the illumiflow and Capillus laser caps are the same -- so much so, the FDA describes the devices as “substantially equivalent” to one another.
While they share almost identical dimensions, there are distinct differences that push illumiflow laser caps to the top in terms of performance and customer satisfaction.
Why illumiflow Doesn’t Use a Silicone Liner
Illumiflow uses a lightweight, soft shell design ensuring each laser diode remains in the perfect position to maximize scalp coverage, deliver optimal laser power to the most common balding spots, and invigorate every hair follicle.
Capillus uses a flexible laser network that can shift during treatment and a silicone liner that can block laser light penetration -- dampening your overall treatment and potentially reducing the effects of low-level laser therapy.

Pulsing Vs. Continuous Laser Therapy
All illumiflow laser caps utilize pulsing light waves rather than a continuous light wave.
In layman's terms: illumiflow lasers blink on and off during treatment, while Capillus lasers stay on for the duration of treatment. The reason for this is simple:
All illumiflow laser caps utilize pulsing light waves rather than a continuous light wave.
In layman's terms: illumiflow lasers blink on and off during treatment, while Capillus lasers stay on for the duration of treatment. The reason for this is simple.
illumiflow's Pulsing Light
All of illumiflow’s medical-grade laser diodes are programmed to blink at a specific rate to give your cells the chance to rest during treatment and achieve optimal growth rate. (Like interval training in the gym.)
This also means you can safely use your laser cap for longer periods than other brands!
Capillus' Continuous Light
Continuous light waves were the original way of delivering low-level laser therapy, but have since been proven less effective than pulsing light waves.
This is because the continuous stream of laser light fluctuates in power and over stimulates your hair follicles — reducing your potential for hair growth — and restricts how long your treatment sessions can go.

Why do the treatment times differ?
Treatment time is one of the biggest factors affected by pulsing vs continuous light waves. Not only do the follicles become stressed when exposed to continuous light, but they also experience fluctuating laser exposure as the diodes cannot sustain optimal laser power for the entire treatment.
With pulsing light waves, the follicles are exposed to the exact laser power need to restart the natural hair growth cycle.
More laser power fluctuation = Less efficient hair growth
