Speaker #0This is my fake hair journey, the podcast that tells you about alopecia but also all the solutions that we have to deal with it. The goal here will not be to feel sorry for our bald scalps but to learn to live with this pathology and even maybe to laugh about it. And if you really like fun and informative content about alopecia, don't hesitate to follow ComandiaDem on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Hi everyone, today I want to discuss with you about luminoderma techniques when you have alopecia, when you have female pattern hair loss, female pattern baldness like me. If you follow my YouTube channel, you know that I have a huge hair loss under my hairpiece. Maybe I will show you later. And I think that luminoderma can be one of the solutions that... as a clinically proved result to make your hair regrow. But I will explain you in this video why I never tried this technique on myself because I have several reasons. So 5 years later I was working with a brand that was selling hair pieces in France. So I had a YouTube collaboration with them and this is the brand that made me discover the technique. beautiful solution of hair toppers and wigs so at that time I was really really really happy to find new hair again in my life to feel beautiful and self-confident again and At the moment the CEO of this company changed the direction of people, not only the CEO, but there was a new people that were, I don't know how to say, leading the company. And these new people wanted to stop a bit the selling of hair toppers and wigs and promote more everything around hair growth like serum and gelules that you eat to make your hair grow back and also luminoderma. So, in this situation, because I was working with them promoting hair topper and wigs, it was before that I had my Comme un Diadème brand, they asked me to promote Luminoderma. And at this moment, I hesitated a lot because I was really happy with my new solution. I fought. I fed in the past alopecia during 10 years and I was really tired of trying all these solutions to make my hair grow back. It was really a relief to stop my noxidil, rogaine, to stop iron supplementation, to stop to fight to make my hair to grow back again on my head. So I was a bit hesitant. they think to make videos about luminoderma but I decided to meet them to discuss about it because I thought that it could be a great idea on my youtube channel because on my youtube channel there is a lot of videos about different solutions against hair loss like hair powder about minoxidil and There are a lot of French videos but now there are also a lot of videos in English. If you are interested there is a playlist in English that is videos, English videos about alopecia and hair toppers. I don't know, I will write it. And in this context, I thought that it could be interesting to test Luminoderma free for me and to share this in videos. So I met them and I discussed with them about this and they first told me that I will have to make maybe eight sessions or ten or twelve I don't really remember it was maybe two or three months of treatment. So, luminoderma is the fact to apply certain light on your head, it's like LED, not like ultraviolet but something else, like red light to make the follicles grow back. If the follicle is dead it will not grow again but if the follicle is just a bit tired it can stimulate the hair growth. So they want me to try for two or three months, once a week, and to make videos before, after the treatment and to share this with you, to promote this treatment. And so as a good scientist as I am, and a good honest people, I told them, okay, but I have to say that... If I don't see any really good result, I will say to my followers that the results are not obvious and that I'm not highly convinced. So you have to take into consideration that if after three months of treatment, I don't see any difference, I will never say to my followers that there is a huge difference. And they told me yeah but don't worry because as you can see in these little presentation videos there is scalp photos where you can find not a lot of hair and another scalp photo you can see this huge difference and I said yeah but I'm a scientist because I'm PhD in microbiology and I told them okay you can do this kind of photo but it will be important to take the photos at the same area You don't take a photo of me with that hair here and here with more hair and compare this. It's not scientifically ok. If you do this, ok, but in the same area at the beginning of the process and at the end of the process. and you compare same area at the beginning, same area at the end and if you can even calculate the air density it's even better and the difference must be really significant not only in your mind, not only oh yeah I think okay maybe there is and at this moment they were before saying to me that three months would be okay at this moment I saw them changed and be a bit in French we say contrarie worried and they were a bit worried about what I was saying and the guide just told me at this moment okay but in your alopecia situation so I will show you my alopecia situation so you can compare with yours if you want to make luminoderma So in my alopecia situation, thank you for this. So it told me that in alopecia like mine, I would need at least 18 months of treatment. So it was not the same thing that he just told me before like three months would be okay. When I said to him okay but I will be honest about the result he discussed with the other guy and said yeah but in your situation you need at least 18 months. And so he also told me that because I told them that I will also say in my videos that when you stop you the air You lose the benefits of what you just did because, okay, hair grow back, but when you stop the treatment, you have still androgenetic alopecia, so you will lose this hair. He said to me, yeah, but you need to make a new treatment each year to maintain the result during several months. And I think it's okay to think that it could be an idea to make luminoderma each week during 18 months and after to stop and go again 6 months later during 4 months. It could be okay for several women that want to do that, but they just need to have the real information. If a woman wants to fight for her hair, and make lumino derma sessions each week each week of her life during two years and after all this life It can be a solution but she needs to have the right information from the very beginning. So this is why I made this video because I think it's important to share this content because I'm not sure that other brands that tells you the Luminoderma brand there are a lot. I'm sure they will say to people like me oh it's okay in 2-3 months you will have results. They will never be, I think, honest with you and say, yeah, it's two years of treatment for you. Because if you say that to a woman with the price of these luminoderma sessions, a lot of women will be discouraged before even beginning. But I think we have the right to have the real information before starting this kind of treatment. I'm really sorry for my English today. It's very difficult for me to... ...discuss in a language that is not mine as you can hear. And also you have to know that there is on the market some things that you can put on your head that you can buy and have on... at home so I already thought about trying this kind of thing because a lot of brands contacted me to try this and I already thought about trying this but Actually, I know myself and I know that I will be tired to put red light on my hair 20 minutes per day, every day, even if it's only 2 or 3 months. I know that I will never have the energy to do that. And why? Because I already spent 10 years of my life putting some raw gains on my head and putting some iron vitamins. iron and vitamins to make my hair grow back and looking at my scalp to check if there is some result and it was a huge loss of energy and it made me focalize it made me focus a lot on my alopecia and it was not good at all for my mental health and I don't want to be that person anymore I can understand that it can be you a solution for a woman that still want to fight for her hair and that still has the energy to do it and why not but i don't want to fight anymore i have my beautiful solution it's autumn leaves here from commandia then euro hair and i even know that i will never have even if luminoderma works I will never have this amount of hair again in my life. So I don't want to fight just to have 10% of hair more. I prefer to stay like this. I prefer to... Even if my alopecia goes worse and worse, worse and worse, worse, worse, I'm okay with it because... I'm tired, I'm really tired to fight and this is what I wanted to say to you. I wanted to be honest with you about what people told me and why I never did this video because I don't have the energy to do that during even 3 months. And it's the same for tattoo of the scalp. there is a lot of brands that contacted me to make tattoo of the scalp and I never tried for different reasons and if you want to discuss with me in videos or in podcast in English even if my English is not perfect and even if I will maybe not understand everything I will ask again if you want to discuss about your alopecia in video or in podcast. about solutions that you tried, don't hesitate to reach me on Comandiadem.
