HairMax LaserComb: The future is here!

This looks like an interesting piece of equipment!

I've seen this advertised on TV before but hadn't really paid too much attention.

If you're in the market for the latest and greatest hair loss prevention tool, this may be just what you're looking for!

We still can't get sharks with frikkin' lasers on their heads, but now you can have a laser on your head EVERY SINGLE DAY!

In keeping with our ongoing coverage of dubiously high-tech personal grooming devices, I present to you:

THE HAIRMAX LASERCOMB!!!

Take it away, Lexington International, LLC:

The HairMax LaserComb uses low laser therapy to achieve an effect similar to photosynthesis - it delivers laser energy (also known as photo-biostimulation) to the root level of the scalp to energize and improve blood circulation while stimulating the growth of individual hair follicles. Increased blood flow increases cellular metabolism and cellular activity. Hair follicles bask in the energy of low level laser therapy, becoming stronger and more rejuvenated and as a result, produce thicker, healthier hair.

The history of light therapy is traced back to the ancient cultures. In 1550 BC, the Egyptians wrote about photo therapy treatments. The Greeks built solariums high up in the mountains to exploit the additional ultra-violet light to heal tubercolosis. More currently, red light was used to suppress the effects of the smallpox virus. Additionally, the second Nobel Prize in medicine ever was awarded in 1903 to Niels Ryberg Finsen, MD in recognition of his contribution to the treatment of diseases with laser therapy. While laser therapy boasts an impressive history and its applications treat everything from jaundice in infants to skin conditions in adults, Lexington International LLC is the first to render it accessible in the home to combat hair loss.

Personally, I would have called the product HairMax LaserComb 3000, since that sounds much more futuristic.
