For Immediate
Release
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).

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/cm² 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.
