Baldness Cured With Laser Hat
A guy tinkering in his garage has cured baldness by inventing a laser hat, at least according to Bloomberg Businessweek.
The inventor is Tamim Hamid is a former NASA research engineer, who has degrees in electrical engineering, computer engineering and biomedicine. His company is Theradome.
The hat contains 80 lasers that mimic sunlight and help bring hair follicles back to life. It is based on research from the mid-60s in which Dr. Endre Mester while trying to trigger the growth of cancerous tumors in rats miscalibrated a laser resulting in the growth of hair instead.
The product was financed with crowdfunding via IndieGoGo. Hamid’s motivation was, well, take a guess.
The devices cost $795 and as of now are only approved for use by women. Approval for men is expected soon though, according to Hamid.
