How do I use the HairMax LaserComb?
The HairMax LaserComb has been designed with both comfort and convenience in mind. To turn on the HairMax LaserComb press the “power” button and then the “laser” button on the front of the unit. Next, place the LaserComb flat on your head using the two rows of teeth. Rather than constantly moving the HairMax LaserComb through your hair (as you would with a regular brush or comb), you will use what we like to call the “glide” method by placing the HairMax LaserComb on a specific spot on your head and gently gliding it back a ½ inch each time the audible four-second beep occurs. Move from the front of your hairline to the back of your head and then repeat the process moving in the opposite direction. The “glide” method is the best way to ensure that the LaserComb will be as effective as possible for you. In addition to being very easy to operate, the HairMax LaserComb is also a relaxing and enjoyable product to use. There are no sprays, topical ointments, or powders to worry about, and it can be used in the comfort of your own home at your own convenience.

However, you can also address this by cleaning your LaserComb with a damp cloth before and after each use. The Deluxe Professional Portable High Frequency Machine is initially used as a first step by some clients to opening up the hair follicles and gently exfoliating to prepare the scalp to take maximum advantage of subsequent HairMax LaserComb treatment.
