A friend of mine had the permanent hair restoration procedure with Bosley 2 years ago.  He did great and looks totally different now with hair.  I think he was also taking Propecia at the time, not sure about the laser comb as I think it came out later.

One thing to remember is that the laser comb is not for advanced hair loss so it’s not like you can be bald, use the comb and get your hair back.  However, if you’re in the early stages or you 

There are several FDA approved or accepted treatments for hair loss.  The most recent addition to these treatments is the Bosley LaserComb, which is unique in several ways.

The Bosley LaserComb is the first and only medical device cleared by the FDA for the promotion of hair growth in men.  This device has been clinically proven to make hair appear thicker, fuller and healthier in men with androgenetic alopecia within Norwood classes 2-5.  The Bosley patient gallery displays patients with these varying degrees of hair loss.

The Bosley LaserComb may reverse or stop the cycle of hair miniaturization by stimulating the follicle and encouraging the production of living cells in the hair root.  It is these cells that eventually make up the hair shaft.  Laser Photo-Therapy hair treatment has been shown to increase blood flow to the capillaries of the root, which delivers more nutrients to the living cells that create the hair shaft.

The Bosley LaserComb is a fantastic alternative for men in the very early stages of hair loss or as part of a complete post-procedure maintenance program.

Other approved treatments include Minoxidil, which is a topical solution and Propecia®.  Propecia®
is a prescription drug for men only that effectively helps to reduce the formation of DHT, a hormone that is the primary cause of male-pattern hair loss.

Minoxidil is the most common treatment for hair loss and has been proven in some cases to slow down or help stop hair loss on the vertex of the head.

Bosley now offers a free hair and scalp analysis with your initial consultation.  This new, free analysis with its powerful magnification, will help you to see the extent of your current hair loss while gaining an understanding of the potential for future hair loss.

Minoxidil has demonstrated little effect on frontal hair loss, the hair line or temples, where many men begin to recede and have the greatest concern.  To be effective, Minoxidil must be applied on a daily basis.  If treatment stops, the results gained will be lost.

Remember to look for FDA approved solutions.

We’re always looking for good deals, particularly during a recession.  Whenever we find them, we pass them along.

Hair restoration is a big deal and lots of people do it, especially now as  the procedure seems to almost be perfected to the point where it’s indistinguishable.  If you’re planning on having a hair transplant, go where the experience is.  Bosley’s physicians have at least 10 years of surgical experience.

Bosley uses FDA approved and accepted solutions for hair loss while also offering the only permanent solution, permanent hair restoration.  A friend of mine went to Bosley a couple of years ago and had a procedure done.  It’s all outpatient now so not a big deal.  I don’t remember how many grafts he had but did look totally different after about a year.  It’s pretty amazing how natural it looks now.

Times are tough in the IE, right?  We are arguably the center of the housing debacle and appear to be the new center of controversy as loan mods start offering rates as low as 1%.  On top of that, the FHA recently changed loan limits from 350k to over 500k.

What does all this mean?  It means lots of things but one major point brought up on a recent 640KFI radio show with Bill Handel, was that people are buying new, market value homes then walking from their current over-priced model.  Maybe this is a sum-zero but the controversy continues.

Loan modifications can be made available to those who are:

1. 1-3 months behind on mortgage payments with homes that have not yet been foreclosed and have not gone to auction.

2. Not yet behind on payments but know that missing payments is imminent.

Loan modification programs including the Obama “Make Home Affordable” initiative have created controversy among those who desperately need a modification and those who feel they will be paying for these mistakes.

The controversy hit a bit of a fever pitch when Rick Santelli of CNBC called for a “tea party” type revolt on the Chicago trading floor. Rick’s rant can be seen in the video below:

Though many bought homes they could not afford, others who have paid their mortgage and worked hard have seen the values of their homes fall off a cliff. These same people are now losing jobs due to the deepening recession (caused by the housing crisis), and are now defaulting on their loans. It is these people that are most likely to receive a loan modification.

Generally speaking, loan mods are easier to get now than a refi. Traditionally, it would be the other way around but that was when banks were far stronger and credit markets weren’t so tight. These markets have loosened up quite a bit but the restrictions still run high for refis, which pushes most people out from eligibility.

Qualifying for a loan modification is easier now than it was just a few months ago. In fact, those who do qualify can look forward to the possibility of ridiculously low interest rates, as low as 1%. It’s also possible to have second mortgages wiped out completely or firsts reduced to market value.

Obviously, the controversy will continue as those who can, and do pay their mortgages wonder why they’re not getting help. Not surprisingly, some analysts are calling for complete rewrites of every single mortgage in the country to bring them all to market value. We don’t know where this recession is going, how deep it will be or when it will end but apparently, no solution is off the table.
