FDA Clears the HairMax LaserComb
for the Promotion of Hair Growth
BOCA RATON, FL, February 2007 -
Lexington International LLC is proud to announce
the landmark achievement of US Food & Drug Administration
(FDA) clearance for their medical laser device,
the HairMax LaserComb®. Through years of extensive
research and clinical studies in the science of
hair growth, Lexington has developed an affordable
and convenient, hand-held laser device, now clinically
proven to promote hair growth in males with androgenetic
alopecia (Norwood IIA to V with Fitzpatrick skin
types I to IV). To view FDA's public record of
this clearance visit www.fda.gov/cdrh/pdf6/K060305.pdf.
This FDA clearance of the HairMax
LaserComb offers an exciting new modality for the
promotion of hair growth in males. Until now, the
FDA has only approved two other products as solutions
to combat hair loss, a condition that affects approximately
55 million men in the U.S. But the HairMax LaserComb
stands out as the only proven drug-free alternative.
This gives many hair loss sufferers, previously
unable or unwilling to turn to drug-based solutions,
newfound hope in their battle. Fortunately, treatments
using the HairMax LaserComb are easy to administer,
only 10 to 15 minutes three times per week, and
the laser device is convenient to use in the comfort
and privacy of your own home.
For the FDA submission, Lexington
conducted an extensive clinical study in four different
locations across the United States. The study concluded
that 93% of the participants (ages 30-60) using
the HairMax LaserComb had an increase in the number
of terminal (thick) hairs. The average number of
terminal hairs per square centimeter increased by
19 hairs/cm over a six-month period. During the
study, there were no reports of serious adverse
events. The number and types of adverse events were
similar in both the active and placebo groups.
Lexington's clinical study investigating
the efficacy of the HairMax LaserComb in females
is concluding and they will be submitting the data
to the FDA shortly.
David Michaels, Managing Director,
shares his thoughts on this momentous announcement,
"We are very excited that we have reached a
major milestone in hair care and science. Laser
hair therapy is the talk of the hair restoration
industry today. And not only were the results of
this study extremely significant, but with the credibility
of the FDA clearance, we are soundly positioned
to make a substantial impact in the emerging hair
restoration industry."
Dr. Matt Leavitt, Chief Medical Advisor
to Lexington, expresses his enthusiasm on news of
the FDA clearance, "The HairMax LaserComb is
a method of treatment that can be of great help
to men of all ages suffering from hair loss. I am
impressed with the protocol and results from the
clinical trials that Lexington has conducted. With
the FDA clearing the HairMax LaserComb as a medical
device, it offers an attractive option for hair
growth for medical practitioners. We can now deliver
a new modality to our patients and achieve strong
user satisfaction."
Randy Veliky, Lexington COO, concludes,
"The HairMax LaserComb will revolutionize the
hair growth industry, but we are not stopping there.
Lexington is dedicated to continuing research into
laser technology. We will be expanding our offering
of laser hair growth solutions to include freestanding
clinical units, affordable laser panel arrays for
the home market and broadening the features of our
current products."
For over 20 years, the directors of
Lexington have been at the forefront of laser hair
growth research. Born from this passion for innovation,
The HairMax LaserComb uses a patented technology
to part the hair allowing the focused laser energy
to reach the scalp. The laser is most effective
when it has an unobstructed path directly to the
hair follicle. Through extensive research, Lexington
has determined the optimal wavelength and energy
level needed to deliver maximum results. Lexington's
continued dedication to consistent innovation ensures
that users are always receiving the latest in laser
hair technology.
