iRESTORE Essential review
iRestore advertises 120 diodes but the split is 51 lasers plus 69 LEDs, so this is not a 120-laser cap. The SKU is ID-500, matching FDA clearance K213094 (ID-500 iRestore Hair Growth System, cleared 2021).

What we like
- 12 month satisfaction guarantee, longer than most laser cap brands
- Cheapest way into iRestore at $799
- Rigid helmet holds diodes at a consistent distance from the scalp
What to know
- Only 51 of the 120 diodes are lasers, the rest are LEDs
- 25 minute sessions, five times longer than a Capillus or HairMax cap
- iRestore does not break out the laser and LED split on its own page
