Just another scam on balding guys????

A Florida company says it's come up with a handheld laser device that promotes hair growth. And now they say they've got the OK from federal regulators to sell it.





Check out the price tag!

well first of all, all the "look-a-likes" will come along and the prices will drop. like that Rogain stuff, high as all heck and i think a doctors perscription was needed. now any bald guy can buy it over the counter, and the list of other 'hair growth" products are right next to it.

as for me, i'm balding, but so what. when i go into the typical "horse-shoe pattern", i'll go to my local Lowe's or Home Depot and buy a few "horse hair" paint brushes, cut them up, and glue them to my head.........

i may "whinnie" a bit, but a "nag" i'll never be..............

I don't worry about it. I been shaving my head for years. If I was worried about it I would get a back transplant. I would leave the rug on my chest, can't see my back!

Who cares? When I realized my hair was thinning, I broke out the clippers and went skinhead. I figured it was better to age gracefully than look like a putz who needed gold chains and a Corvette.

Hey, if your hair's going--deal with it. Hair plugs, laser treatment and toupees do nothing more than make you look like you can't accept the inevitable. Consider it a mark of experience and maturity, not something along the lines of, "OMGI'mOOOOLLLLDDD!!!."

(Just FYI--nothing personal towards those other folks going bald. This is simply my opinion, take it as you will and don't be blinded by the sun shining off my dome.)

the "sad" fact about us going bald is that we really should protect our domes from the excessive sun rays, that can and will cause skin cancer. my dad who is still living worked outdoors all his adult life as a "general laborer", and he has been battling skin cancer now for several years. its "curable" but very annoying when he gets an outbreak from time to time.

so baseball caps or lotion for us BALDY'S..............!!!
