Clinical Studies & FDA 510(k) Clearance Process

Clinical Studies

RegrowMD has invested in more research and clinical studies on light energy for hair growth than any other company. Seven clinical studies with 460 men and women have been completed conclusively proving it works safely and effectively – with NO worrisome side effects.These studies were conducted by leading scientists and physicians in the field of hair loss. Our studies were conducted at top medical research centers including the Cleveland Clinic, the University of Miami and University of Minnesota.

The Result?

90% success rate, 129 additional new hairs per in. sq. , 8 FDA Clearances*. 6 published peer reviewed articles.

  • Six of these studies were designed as multi-centered, double-blind and randomized control device

  • Designed to provide support of 510(k) submissions to the FDA – Major factor in granting of Clearances

  • Approved by an IRB (Independent Review Board)

  • Complied with GCP (Good Clinical Practices) guidelines

In 2006, after years of extensive research and randomized clinical studies, Lexington International submitted the results of its initial six-month, multi-center placebo controlled clinical trial to the FDA. The data from the trial demonstrated that 93% of the male subjects had highly statistical improvement in hair counts after 26 weeks of treatment. Learn more about our Clinical Studies
