iRestore Elite vs Capillus PRO
The Capillus PRO is the cheaper of the two at $1,699, so it wins on value if the specs are close enough for your use. The iRestore Elite packs more emitters (500 against 272), which usually means a shorter session for the same dose.

iRestore Elite
Read the spec carefully: the 500 figure combines lasers and LEDs. Cheaper caps with fewer but all-laser diodes may deliver comparable therapeutic light.
Capillus PRO
All 272 emitters are laser diodes, so this is a true 272-laser cap rather than a mixed laser and LED count. Capillus holds several clearances, with the 272 Pro covered by K143199 and later K163170.
