Technological Characteristics
The Grivamax™ Hair Growth System consists of 272 diode lasers configured within an outer cap helmet and protective inner liner.

The Grivamax™ Hair Growth System is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack that contains an embedded controller chip.
Safety Warning:
While most hair regrowth laser caps on the internet look similar, understand that many are not FDA proven safe and effective. Less expensive, similar looking caps have not been tested for safety or efficacy and are being sold unlawfully.
Beware of businesses or sellers on legitimate-looking websites or other sites such as EBay and Amazon that either claim low-level laser therapy does not require FDA clearance, or those that do not (or will not) provide an FDA 510 (K) number.
For your safety and to sell these products lawfully, FDA testing and clearance is required. Only sites that provide or display a FDA 510 (K) number are legally cleared to sell low-level laser hair growth products in the United States.
Red light diode lasers (“low-level lasers”) used to promote hair growth are considered a medical device under U.S. Food & Drug Administration standards, and require rigorous testing to ensure consumer safety and efficacy. Please search the US FDA 510 (K) Database before considering other similar products.
