My exact situation and thoughts!!!

Nice if you can afford it.

Agree

@@traveler8880 They do have a trade-in program. I’ve had my Professional since 2021 and they offered me $200 for it towards the new one which could be bundled with theirs or Dr. Dre‘s discount. You have to send yours back at your expense before they will ship the Elite.

I was just on their website and they do have a trade in program. It's listed under the question/answer section and it says to start a chat or email to find out more.

The prices are absolutely insane. And then they want you spend another $200 for a 3 yr warranty. So they can't even stand behind their product and they are charging that much. I bet they spend $100 in materials if that. It's a shame they prey on people who are vulnerable because hair loss is difficult to deal with.

@@natalieroy4849 agreed

Please keep us updated

I know you kind of want it to expand from the mid back of your head down to the nape but who knows maybe it works like Retin-A, it migrates into the other areas or maybe it was just developed with men in mind who usually have hair in that area but with women as mentioned here it can be all over thinning but hey, if you can get it to thicken and the other areas and let it grow out that will cover the thinner areas underneath. Just a thought🤔

Happy Thursday!

Were you getting any results with the Pro?

Glad to hear you have gotten good results

I pray it works for you as well.

The FDA hasn’t bothered to test anything sunscreen related since 1996. Enough said? Everything in Korea and Japan is light years BETTER than any of the total crap America spews out. In America quality takes a backseat to the company bottom line (money).

I hope she has something on this topic soon

In the meantime, Dr. Jenny Liu did a sensitive skin video and a couple of k-beauty sunscreens she recommended were Beauty of Joseon: Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF 50 PA++++ and Haru Haru Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Daily Sunscreen SPF 50+.

These newer filters were actually developed in europe, and are commonly found in most sunscreens there too. My skin seems to respond best to the "hybrid" filters, that form a suspension, filters like tinosorb m and tinosob a2b, downside is that these do leave a whitecast.

if you try it out, let me know how it goes

@@DrDrayzday, do you think this makes hair grow faster in length as well? Also, I saw a Justin Hickox video in which he had a guest who said that the LEDs do not increase hair growth but that the lasers do. What do you think of that?

Morning!

@@DrDrayzday❤

Hair loss is frustrating to cope with

@@DrDrayzday Yes, especially when you recommend products like this that you make commision off.

how do you know it's not just the rogaine?

@@AllyKit I have used Rogaine for years and have not had as much success I am having now using both. I had hair regrowth with the Rogaine alone. Where this device has helped is in the reduction of shedded hair. I would say that the amount of hair that I find I the drain is about 75% less than what it was when I was using Rogaine alone. For me, this combination works best.

@@sharonreinblatt9790 I see. Thank you.

It is a sales pitch

She did tell us a couple of weeks or a couple of videos back that she was going to begin working with I restore but I don't think she would have done that had she not experienced results using it. If the video is being sponsored by the company, of course it's an ad to let us know what population the group is intended for and any other information that might be necessary. I would back a product that I have faith in and proof that it works for certain types of alopecia

It is frustrating

Oh no 😢! See a dermatologist soon, they can assist with treatments to treat this issue.

Start taking pumpkin seed oil capsules a good brand of course, it helps a lot…. Plus rosemary oil and a carrier oil and using as a hair mask do this 2x week, put it on your roots and massage Just things you can start doing now Of course I would listen to Dr Dray and what she recommends

@@Jhamila24 Unfortunately I can't afford to see one 😔

@@liberallioness4335 I understand 😕. In that case, I would try using OTC treatments at least. I know hair loss can be really frustrating 😣.

Did you experience any initial shedding? I know it's normal; I don't know why I'm afraid of it.

I did not experience shedding. I have not experienced it as a part of my thinning hair before trying the professional iRESTORE helmet. So I have not experienced shedding with using it these past 2.5 months. I was a bit anxious about shedding, too. But that has not been my experience. But from what I’ve read, it seems each individual responds a bit differently. Good luck to you. I know it’s an investment. But I prefer trying this as opposed to topical treatments which you need to maintain to sustain positive results- so that gets costly, too.

@@CatherineFerrell-qp5ff Thank you for your response and I agree about topicals. My derm gave me everything - oral and topical Minoxidil, topical steroid cream, etc. My sister tried the oral and started growing hair on her hands. She did the topical and got a rash on her head. Steroid creams are supposed to be more effective in young people. I did do steroid injections which worked but as soon as I stopped bc they were so expensive, the new hair fell out all at once and the bald spots were even more alarming, I did purchase the Pro last month. I am afraid to use it right now because I have a special event coming up and I don't want to lose all the new hair that has grown back. The timing is tricky. I am definitely prone to shedding. And now I"m wondering if I should have gotten the more powerful one.

The irestore won’t do much at all. Look at the LaserCap HD plus. I have noticed a difference in six months. A specialist in Boston recommended this brand and it is one of the only brands their office supports. Obviously, the influencers get a kick back from irestore but it is not the most advanced technology and there are way better options. I agree with most of Dr Dray’s posts but this one misses the mark a bit.

We need more testimonies like this one. I think it's a scam and there are lots of fake reviews here and on other channels. Surprisingly, many influencers are talking right now about this device...

Same story, not seeing much difference if any. Plus mine was defective 6 mo. after purchase and I had to send them videos to prove it, mail it to them, they replaced it and extended my return date for a refund. So after losing a few weeks of use I religiously used every other day. I’m probably returning it

I bought the least powerful one, the Essential, a couple years ago on a Black Friday sale. I’ve used it faithfully and I do think it helps. But…the difference is subtle. What I think it has actually done is slow down my hair loss, not sure it has increased my hair density. I still use it because I do think it helps, I am also using minoxidil every other night. Between the two my hair loss and density has improved, but as I said it’s subtle I haven’t seen the dramatic improvement others talk about but maybe I should have sprung for the Professional but just couldn’t afford it. I plan to keep using the one I have until it stops working then decide if I want continue with red light for hair loss.

Yep, I saw no difference after 6 months.

It has more lasers and LEDs, so overall more powerful

I have the Professional. My question is, if the Elite, which is more powerful, is meant to be used for 12 minutes every day and the Professional is meant to be used for 25 minutes every other day, is it feasible to use the Professional for 12 minutes every day?

I was excited to see this yet bummed at the same time. After year(s) of watching Dr Dray's use of the iRestore I finally broke down and purchased the Pro last month bc I trust her so much. Now she is endorsing the more powerful one. I hope I didn't waste my money on the Pro.

Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday Whitney Brown. Hope you're well and having a great day.

Greetings d b hope u r well n Happy Thursday😀👍💜….

Are there any vitamin supplements that would help also?

That is not necessarily good for everyone.

I never had much in the way of eyebrows even when I was a child and have never had to shave my legs or anything, they don't grow hair. I feel like my eyebrows are less now after having plucked The Living Daylights out of them just to give them a shape. I use a little brow pencil now but I feel like I'm having a hard time finding where the eyebrows should be, perhaps it's my vision that's changing. I had a relative who had her eyebrows tattooed and but I'm not brave enough to do anything like that and kind of feel I should not be doing that kind of stuff to my body

@@sable7114 I do have my eyebrows tattooed, a version called nano needling. It really wasn’t that bad and they’re always “done”.

That sounds worse than hormone deficiency. Do a search for Alopcia Areata Totalis.

Some folks prefer the foam and (derms will recommend the foam) because others find the liquid version oily.

Not sure about the Innisfree (Dr Dray has reviewed the Isntree one). Check her review of the BOJ sun stick in her video, new beauty of joseon sunscreen review.

Forgot to mention that I have androgenetic alopecia. I've gone to a derm specializing in hair loss and I've been diagnosed and they took a biopsy of my scalp.

Have you tried nizarol

She's a paid spokesperson for iRestore, so she can't review a competitor.

You might have to check other channels that aren't derm-based. Most US-based derm channels tend to focus on the iRestore. I think the Beauty Maverick (UK) and Red Light Therapy by Alex Fergus have reviewed CurrentBody. The derms I've seen talking about CurrentBody have been about the face mask.

Although I've always had sparse eyebrows, I believe they were curly and as a teen and modeling school it was suggested that I use good old Vaseline on my eyebrows and brush them in the direction that they should go to train them to lie flat period of course I didn't do that to try it out ain't nobody got time for that😂

@@sable7114 Thanks. :)

More lasers I believe so stronger power and faster results

Greetings d b hope u r well n Happy Thursday😀👍💜….

If i recall correctly, Dr. Dray has a recent? video referring to the subject in your post ❤

yes, i have a recent video on this...very disturbing

It has more LEDs and more lasers. I have both helmets and this one (the black one) is a lot more powerful

@@providencephelps1497 does it feel any warmer on your head than the pro? If I see any Improvement in a couple of months or so with the pro given the fact that it wasn't even intended for my either correctly or incorrectly diagnosed problem, then I would try the elite.

@@providencephelps1497 Did the white one (Pro) not work for you?

I'm using it with supposed scarring Alopecia on my own and not by recommendation from a dermatologist in my area. I'm concerned that no blood work and other necessary tests were done before giving me a diagnosis although it might be obvious just by looking at my scalp. My question was for myself, can a person potentially have more than one type of alopecia so I'm proceeding based off of that. I also know of a case where a woman was misdiagnosed with scarring Alopecia possibly because of the lack of medical test needed to come to a conclusive diagnosis. Since that money back guarantee is so long, I felt it was worth a try . When the last doctor I saw just slapped me in the face not literally but said that nothing could be done, you should have come in sooner and I know that I had been seeing doctors regarding the problem for years karma when she left the room her nurse told me there were other options one of which would be a transplant. Wonder why I wasn't given all of my options for any options really. I specifically went to ask about the laser cap and got no response so that's why I'm taking it upon myself to try it without a recommendation from anyone but possibly Dr Dre who I understand is only recommending it for androgenetic Alopecia

Dr. Dray has videos on this. The iRestore website states it works best for Androgenetic Alopecia. Minoxidil (oral or topical) as well as finasteride, PRP and other treatments can't hurt but can be costly. Scarring alopecia doesn't respond as to these as successfully as other types of hair loss. Scarring alopecia responds better to steroid injections and possibly steroid creams, from the research I have done. But you have to keep it up forever. When I stopped the expensive steroid injections, all the new hair fell out and then some. If you find something that works please circle back and let me know.

I'm not certain if you are male or female but you can probably guess that I'm female and I've used it for 4 and 1/2 months so far but never had more shedding that would be considered normal but I did notice this past week that I have less shedding than would be normal for me in a given day. That might be a good sign meaning my hair is staying in the growing phase for longer. Let's hope and pray. Hang in there.

@@sable7114 Hi Sable. Did you have the typical initial shedding for the first three months? I am afraid to start mine due to an upcoming event. I'm worried about losing the only hair I have left.

@@AllyKit it was uneventful for me. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing more than the usual shedding that everyone gets. I don't know why but perhaps I had already shed all of my weak hairs before ever using the helmet. Since I have curly hair, most of the shed hair has to be combed out and I usually keep what I come out just to compare to the next time I come out and the last time I combed out it was much less shed hair than would be considered normal. I think that's a good thing. Same with using tretinoin, I never had any peeling or irritation or anything at all to the point that I wondered if it was even working .

@@sable7114 Thank you! You are very lucky. I am sensitive to everything! Started slowly with Neutrogena OTC retinol for years then Adapalene for a year and have been on 025% tretinoin for two and I still haven't been able to work up to more than 3x a week without irritation. I have rosacea skin that hates everything lol If I try topical Minoxidil I know my scalp will revolt haha. My sister developed a scabby red rash all over. That would be me ☺ She tried the oral and started growing hair on her face and hands like a werewolf 👺

It depends on the extent of hair loss/thinning, but can still have improvements in thickness and density

Is the Red Cap FDA approved? Is there a lot of research behind it and on what population if so? What type of alopecia do you have if you don't mind?

@@sable7114 FDA "cleared" is the new term, not "approved". And all that means is that it won't do harm. It is not a seal of approval that anything works.

Probably not for Alopecia Areata, which you probably know is the auto immune hair loss. In which case auto immune medications or steroids might be your best bet. Dr Dray has videos on this subject.

Please respond 🙏🙏🙏🙏

If you can tolerate it, yes! Start out slowly to avoid irritation.

@@EdzoH86 thank you but I heard that the bp can degrade the .05% tretinoin so is it still good to use.

Morning

😂😂 well she definitely has disgusted for Exposed Skin and is up to him to realize that he is exposing some and put some sunscreen back there
