The 6 Best Laser Hair Growth Devices for Men in 2025, According to Doctors

Best Overall Laser Hair Growth Device

iRestore Laser Therapy Hair Growth System

ProsUses both LED and laser diodesOffers six-month money back guarantee Doesn’t require daily treatments (every other day is enough) ConsCombination of LED and laser diodes may dilute results for someThe biggest dilemma when buying a laser hair growth device is choosing between LED and laser diodes, but with the iRestore Laser Therapy Hair Growth System, you don’t have to. This device uses a hybrid of laser diodes and LEDs to get the best of both worlds, pairing the gentle nature of LEDs with the power of laser diodes. Dr. Shah backs it, noting that iRestore is reputable and the device is FDA-cleared.

The brand even offers a six-month money-back guarantee if no results are seen. However, I’d imagine the brand doesn’t receive many sendbacks, as this device gives full coverage with serious results. That being said, Dr. Bauman warns that the combo of LED and laser diodes may dilute benefits for some due to mixed light sources. But hard to argue with a six-month guarantee.

CurrentBody LED Hair Regrowth Device

ProsQuick 10 minutes sessions Adjustable, comfortable fit Wide range of wavelength strength Dr. Shah also recommends this offering from Current Body. This futuristic helmet offers a spectrum of red light LED from 620 to 660 nanometers. The flexible intensity allows for a customized experience, which is ideal for those new to these tools or with sensitive skin to ease into LED treatment and see what your ideal nanometer level is.

While results will be stronger closer to 650 or 660 nanometers, this range is powerful enough to reduce inflammation, decrease DHT levels (to maintain follicle strength), and improve blood flow on the scalp (to provide hair follicles with more oxygen and nutrients needed for growth).

Sure, it may look like a VR set from a scrapped Black Mirror episode, but it’s quite comfortable, and deceptively adjustable for a quality fit. Use for 10 minutes daily, and results can be seen quickly in as little as 16 weeks. The only reasons this helmet missed out on the top spot is that it relies solely on LED, and is roughly $300 more expensive than iRestore’s helmet.

Most Intense Laser Hair Growth Device

Capillus Pro Laser Therapy Cap

ProsShort six minute sessionsEasy to multitask during sessions thanks to cap designSimple set upConsThe most expensive option on this listThis FDA-cleared device provides solid diode coverage, with 272 medical-grade lasers. For comparison, the stellar and affordable Hairmax Ultima Lase Comb only has 12 medical-grade lasers. Plus, it’s all packed into a simple hat design that’s easy to incorporate into your routine, as it allows you to perform other tasks while you wear it for its six-minute treatments. Not to mention, it’s about as comfortable to wear as your go-to baseball cap. That being said, this is by far the most expensive option on this list at about $1,360. But if you can swing the pricetag, the results and ease of use are worth it.

HairMax Ultima 12 LaserComb

ProsMost affordable option on this listConvenient comb style Lightest option on this listConsComb makes it difficult to cover entire scalp in one sessionNot everybody has the budget (or desire) to drop several thousand on a hair growth device. Maybe you’re on the fence about these tools, or the prospect of regrowing your hair in general. For these folks, Hairmax will be your best option, as it’s the least expensive tool on the market that’s still effective. Featuring 12 medical-grade laser diodes in a comb-style tool, you gently brush this device through your hair and across your dome to stimulate hair growth. The sessions are listed at eight minutes, however, it often takes longer for the best results, given the manual nature of the device and the smaller surface it covers at once. Still, you won’t find a cheaper FDA-approved model.

HigherDose Red Light Therapy Hat

HigherDose Red Light Hat

ProsEasy to multitask during sessions thanks to cap designEasy set upSleekest and most casual design of all optionsMen’s Health writer Bob Gearing wore the HigherDose Red Light Therapy Hat every day for the past year, and swears by the results. He notes that this nifty cap is both more effective than Rogaine and less invasive, leaving no irritation or redness. It’s super easy to use, pop it on like any hat, and wear for 10 minutes a day while the 650 nanometer LED red light penetrates the scalp to promote a healthier environment for hair growth.

The brand lists 16 months as the target, but the best results will appear after six months. Unlike the Capillus cap, whose red light peaks through the sides during use, this is the only hair growth device you could get away with wearing in public without anyone noticing. It simply looks like a black hat, nothing more. This makes it both easy to use and even easier to incorporate into your daily routine.

Hairmax LaserBand 82

ProsShortest sessions on this list at 90 secondsHigh laser diode count at 246Some may see results in as early as three monthsConsAwkward look and fitHard to multitask while usingMay require multiple sessions to cover entire scalpAt first glance, the Hairmax LaserBand 82 looks like a nuisance to use. Rather than a cap design like HigherDose and Capillus, helmet like iRestore and Current Body, or Hairmax’s comb, the LaserBand resembles a mini MRI machine. But unlike those devices, this tool only needs to be used for a couple of minutes to see results, three times a week. The brand boasts that sessions need only be 90 seconds, but Dr. Bauman warns it’ll take a bit longer for full coverage—like two or three minutes. Still, that’s by far the quickest treatment on this list. Plus, Dr. Bauman says it features a quality diode count (246 lasers), even if you may need to reposition after 90 seconds for full coverage.
