Laser and LED hair-growth caps, helmets and combs (1 record says prescription use)
Records FDA files under its hair-growth laser code: caps, helmets, bands and combs. FDA's code name doesn't say over-the-counter, and some records are for professional systems, so read each record. One record's quoted indications say the device is for prescription use; that entry carries a Prescription badge.
114 records from 2007 to 2026, filed by 60 companies. 29 device names as filed mention a cap, helmet, hat or band, and 17 a comb or brush. We quote the indications for use for 38 of them from FDA's PDFs.

Technical method
“Pass laser light emitting comb across the scalp three times a week for at least 26 weeks.”

Regulation
21 CFR 890.5500: “An infrared lamp is a device intended for medical purposes that emits energy at infrared frequencies (approximately 700 nanometers to 50,000 nanometers) to provide topical heating.” FDA places laser hair-growth devices (code OAP) under its infrared lamp regulation.
Each record is one FDA decision about the device named in it, for the use in its indications statement. The company that filed may be the brand on the box or the manufacturer that makes it for the brand.
Records are grouped by FDA product code; a record's own indications can be narrower, broader or different from the group name, so read each one. We quote an indications statement only when it comes from a text page of FDA's PDF (not a scan) and every word checks out; otherwise the entry says why and links the PDF, which is the authority.
