ABOUT THE CAPILLUS®LASER THERAPY CAP
The Capillus®laser therapy cap is a portable home-use Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) device. The
device features a laser dome embedded with laser diodes (<5mW) on its interior surface, and is
powered by a certied rechargeable battery pack that connects to the dome. The laser dome is either
worn under the sports cap included with the device or any other hat of your choosing. The battery pack
can be clipped onto your waistband or belt, or slipped into your pocket. The Capillus®laser therapy cap
provides low-level laser therapy to the scalp and hair follicles to stimulate cellular activity and promote
the ow of blood. There is no need for constant user effort. The hands-free design makes it easy and
comfortable to use while performing everyday activities.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Capillus®laser therapy cap is intended to treat Androgenetic Alopecia and promote hair growth in
males who have Norwood Hamilton Classications of IIa-V patterns of hair loss, and to treat Androge-
netic Alopecia and promote hair growth in females who have Ludwig (Savin) scale Classications I-1 to
I-4, II-1, or frontal patterns of hair loss; both with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I to IV.
IS CAPILLUS LASER THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?
If your hair loss is due to heredity, Capillus laser therapy may be a great treatment option for you.
Hair loss is a serious issue that affects millions of men and women around the world. The most
common type of hair loss is a result of your genes: androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness). It’s a
progressive condition (worsens over time) and constitutes 98% of hair loss. If you begin treatment
during the earlier stages of progression, the Capillus® laser therapy cap may stop further progression
and regrow your thinning hair.
Capillus is intended for treatment of adults with hair loss represented within the shaded areas
below.
Fitzpatrick Classication of Skin Types
Low-Level Laser Therapy has only been tested on following Fitzpatrick skin types:
TYPE 1: Highly sensitive, always burns, never tans.
TYPE 2: Very sun sensitive, burns easily, tans minimally.
TYPE 3: Sun sensitive skin, sometimes burns, slowly tans to light brown.
TYPE 4: Minimally sun sensitive, burns minimally, always tans to moderate brown.
Low-Level Laser Therapy has NOT been clinically tested on following Fitzpatrick skin types:
TYPE 5: Sun insensitive skin, rarely burns, tans well.
TYPE 6: Sun insensitive, never burns, deeply pigmented.
INTENDED USAGE

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGING BATTERY PACK
Before initial use, please charge the battery pack as per the following instructions for optimal
battery life (for a full 24 hours on the initial charge). Only charge Battery Pack with provided
AC Adapter.
STEP 1
Plug provided AC Adapter (D) into power outlet
and then connect Battery Pack to AC Adapter. The
indicator lights on the top of the Battery Pack will
indicate charge level during process.
STEP 2
On subsequent charges, after the initial charge,
once all four indicator lights are turned on and static
(no blinking), the Battery Pack is ready for use.
Disconnect Battery Pack from AC Adapter for use.
Disconnect AC Adapter from power outlet and store
parts in Carrying Case (G).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The references (A-H) in this section refer to the part list shown on previous page in Diagram 1.
STEP 1
Unpack the components and make sure all the parts are present according to Diagram 1. All parts are
stored in the Carrying Case (G) with exception of this User Manual (E). Battery Pack (B), Battery Clip
(C), AC Adapter (D) are packed within Drawstring Pouch (H) inside the Carrying Case. The Laser Dome
is tted inside the Sports Cap. If there are parts missing contact customer service at 1-888-272-9599
or [email protected].
STEP 2
Please refer to charging instructions on previous page.
For optimal battery life, battery pack should be charged
completely before rst use until all 4 indicators lights on top
of battery pack are on and static (6-12 hours). Battery should
also be disconnected from laser device between uses for
optimal battery life and performance.
After initial charge, please charge Battery Pack only when
nal light is blinking.
STEP 3
Connect the Laser Dome (A) to the Battery Pack (B) by
matching up the small white indicator arrows on the cables to
each component. Important: The arrows must be aligned
for the cables to make a proper connection. Once the
arrows are aligned, push cables together and secure with
the twist lock connector.
STEP 4
Place Laser Dome on your head as shown and tap on the
Power Button on front of Battery Pack (B) to begin treat-
ment. Battery level indicators on top of Battery Pack will light.
You will hear one short beep when device turns on, followed by
two successive beeps when treatment begins. The emission
indicator light on the back of the cap will light up to indicate
that treatment has begun and lasers are operational.
Please note that there is a sensor on the inside of the
device that only allows light to be emitted when the cap is
on the head. If treatment is interrupted because the sensors
are disrupted, you will hear two short beeps intermittently until
proximity sensors are triggered. If treatment is interrupted for
10 minutes or longer, the treatment session will be reinitiated
upon start.
NOTE: The Capillus® laser device will not operate if the
Battery Pack is connected to the AC Adapter.
STEP 5
When the automatically programmed treatment session is
nished (6 minutes), you will hear three longer successive
beeps to indicate the treatment period is over, the lasers will
automatically shut off, and the emission indicator light on the
back of the Dome will turn off.
Press and hold Power Button on front of Battery Pack at
end of treatment session until all lights on battery pack
turn off. Disconnect battery pack from laser cap and store
until next use.
