Brief Answer:
Regarding laser for hair loss

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would say that they work only to an extent, if at all. Moreover, none of these are approved remedies for hair loss. Only minoxidil solution and oral finasteride are approved for hair loss in males.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
