Therefore, this study was designed to gain experience with the use of the following devices and to clinically evaluate their efficacy: iGrow Hair Growth System, Capillus352, Hair Max Ultima 12 LaserComb, and HairMax Laserband 82. The purpose of this pilot research study is to clinically compare and evaluate FDA-cleared photobiomodulation devices after four months of treatment and one-month follow-up in subjects with alopecia.
