About Lexington and The HairMax LaserComb®

The design and development of the HairMax began in Australia in 1985. The founding director, Henry Pearl was a pioneer in the use of laser technology at a hair care clinic and research center in Sydney, Australia. Lexington International, LLC. was established in Boca Raton, FL in 2000 to develop and market the revolutionary HairMax LaserComb®. The HairMax is the only home laser phototherapy device on the market today with proven efficacy and has FDA Class 2 Clearance for marketing for hereditary hair loss and has become a leader in the field of hair care.

While two drugs were approved to treat hair loss when the company began, Lexington identified a market need for an effective non-drug alternative for the treatment of the condition. The company began proprietary research and development of a medical laser device to incorporate the scientific rationale that laser light energy can be collected in the mitochondria of the cells to transfer energy to produce ATP, an “energy transporter” which would stimulate the growth of hair in the follicle. This led to an ongoing ten year effort which so far, has seen the development and introduction of 4 models of the HairMax LaserComb.

Since the HairMax was introduced, the device has helped hundreds of individuals around the world with hereditary hair loss to effectively treat their condition. The HairMax has also become a standard of care for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia by thousands of health care professionals who treat hair loss and has become an integral part of their treatment armamentarium.

Personal Story
As one of the Directors of the company, I had my first introduction to laser therapy for baldness in 1999, at our founder’s Laser Hair Clinic. At that time, I was 35 years old and had already been experiencing hair loss for five years. I had tried everything from topical solutions (which I found to be very inconvenient and messy – my hair looked worse than ever!) to vitamin supplements. Nothing worked. Then I heard about Laser Therapy. Laser Photo-Therapy, as it is referred to in the medical community, is a safe, effective therapy to treat hair loss without any reported side effects. Soon after I started laser treatments at the Sydney Hair Clinic, my hair became thicker and fuller, my hair loss subsided and I re-grew a significant amount of lost hair. I also experienced a dramatic improvement in the condition of my hair and my dandruff also subsided. I was so amazed at the results that I began a working relationship with the founder of the Laser Hair Clinic, who was a pioneer in the use of Laser Photo-Therapy for hair. The idea of the HairMax LaserComb® was born. We joined efforts to develop a prototype of an affordable hand-held laser therapy device for baldness treatment so everyone could experience the same exciting results that I had experienced. After several years of research, design and development, our efforts resulted in the HairMax LaserComb®. At Lexington International, our primary focus is to assist individuals suffering from the emotional affects of hair loss. Positive customer experiences as well as user satisfaction are our primary goals. We hope that after you have read this material, you will decide to try the HairMax LaserComb® for yourself. It has worked successfully not only for me, but for tens of thousands of men and women just like you.

Yours truly,

Managing Director
