iRestore Elite Laser
New iRestore Elite laser device for hair growth.

In my post on the best laser hair growth devices, one of the products I covered was the iRestore laser helmet from Freedom Laser Therapy. Until 2023, the company made two devices that they call laser hair growth systems. Sometimes they also use the terms “laser cap” and “laser helmet”.

  • The iRestore Essential with 120 lasers and LEDs (light-emitting diodes). Current average rating of 3.9 out of 5 stars across 3,800 reviews on Amazon. On sale for $500 after $100 coupon.
  • The iRestore Professional with 282 diodes (both laser and LED). Current average rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars across 940 reviews on Amazon. On sale for $800.

iRestore Elite Laser Helmet with 500 Diodes

In 2023, Freedom Laser released the newest iRestore Elite model with a huge 500 combined laser and LED diodes. The white color of prior models has been replaced by a sleep black appearance.

This device is FDA cleared for home use for hair regrowth purposes.

According to the company’s website, the iRestore Elite comes with the following features and advantages

  • 500 diodes (Lasers & LEDs). The most in any home-use laser hair growth device on the market. I have not tried to verify this claim.
  • 2500 mW total power output.
  • Brief daily 12-minute treatment time.
  • Unique triple wavelength red light technology (625/655/680 nm) for deeper scalp stimulation. Make sure to read my post on low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and wavelength.
  • Proprietary Lumitech™ red light therapy.
  • Advanced vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs).
  • A patented extended scalp coverage for maximum effectiveness. It stimulates hair follicles in the temples, crown and hairline regions of the scalp.

The lasers are medical-grade VCSEL with a wavelength of 680 nm. The LEDs are medical-grade with wavelengths fo 625 nm and 655 nm. Kevin Chen, the president of iRestore, says that the Elite is the most powerful hair growth device for home use. It is sometimes called the “Ferrari of Hair Growth Devices.”

The iRestore Elite device can be purchased for $1,900 after a $600 off discount offer with a promo code. You can also buy a rechargeable battery pack that is on sale at $89. A 3-year warranty is included, and it can be extended to 5 years for an additional fee.

iRestore Laser Device Winner Selection

25 Comments

Congratulations to “Shark” the winner of the iRestore laser hair growth device contest. There were two people left after disqualifications of three. In the second random number generation selection, “Shark” beat out “Blaine1.” Hopefully the iRestore laser helmet will be mailed out asap. I tried to the get the company to send out a second helmet to “Blaine1”, but they refused.

iRestore Laser Hair Growth System Winner

I decided to close the prize drawing in the last post after 5 days since there were far more entries than I was expecting considering that the contest was only limited to US (and Canadian later) entrants.

Due to the huge number of first time commentator entrants, I have had to change my strategy on how to select the winner. I will randomly select 5, then remove the suspicious ones or those who do not respond from the 5, and then randomly reselect the 1 final winner.

It is possible that a few first time entrants signed up more than once with different IPs and email addresses (even two regular long-time commentators signed on for the prize draw twice with two separate comments).

Some of the entrants probably live outside the US or Canada and have no US address so will be removed if in the list of 5. So I have used a random number generator website’s integer generation option to select 5 potential winners. I put in the range 1-182 in there since there were 182 comments in the last post when I closed the contest.

I know that at least 20 of those comments were unrelated to the subject matter, but this is the best way I can run such contests without spending too much time weeding out unrelated comments. Results of the random generation pasted below:

Random Integer Set Generator

You requested 1 set with 5 unique random integers, taken from the [1,182] range. The integers were sorted in ascending order.

Here is your set:

  • Set 1: 12, 21, 45, 61, 178

Timestamp: 2016-09-06 06:51:21 UTC

So now I go to comments number 12, 21, 45, 61 and 178 in the last post:

12 = Farsi “I am in” = Update: Disqualified since IP addresses of past comments all in France and he did not post a comment here or e-mail me with a US address for the two days that I waited.

21 = Frank Plumbo “I to am in!” = Update: Disqualified since no comment here or e-mail to me for two days.

45 = Blaine1 = “count me in”

61 = Shark = “I am in”

178 = mjones = Disqualified for too many (six) unrelated comments in that last prize drawing thread. Plus he did not even sign on for the prize drawing! Will ban him in future so as to get a proper list of 5.

Please note that the order you see the comments in the last thread could be slightly different from the way I see them since I am logged in as “admin”, but hopefully not. If I made a mistake in the counting of comments 12, 21, 45, 61 and 178 above, I apologize, but I will stick with the above potential winners’ names. For all future prize drawings, I will not redo any procedure in case I make a counting error.

So the winner will be one of these four:

  • Farsi
  • Frank Plumbo
  • Blaine1
  • Shark

All four of you guys please post at least one comment in this thread using the same email you used last time and the same IP address/ computer/location that you used last time to post your comment. Also email me your full name and physical address from the same email address that you used for commenting. I will wait for two days for responses.

Then I will browse through this blog’s comment history and search for your IP address. If I find anything suspicious or undesirable (repeat entries, too many past usernames under same IP, too many entries from similar IPs in some small town or country, too many insults etc.), I will remove you from the list.

If more than one person is still left after I remove the suspicious entries, I will do another random generation and select the final winner and post his/her name at the top of this thread.
