NovaCap Specifications: Wavelength, Power and Evidence

A NovaCap technical review starts with the exact model. The current detailed listing describes a 128-diode cap with a wavelength of 650 nm and output of 5 mW per diode.

Keep these listed specifications attached to that configuration when reviewing the wider NovaCap range.

Understand what each figure describes

Diode count identifies the number of listed laser emitters. Wavelength describes the specified light. The per-diode power figure describes the listed emitter output.

Ask for the manufacturer's technical information about the complete device, including the exposure measurements and geometry relevant to the supplied model. A diode count and a per-diode output figure alone do not establish the exposure received across the scalp.

Read the operating information with the specification

Request the model's current instructions, intended-use information and supplied power and controller details. The operating instructions should guide the clinical team's evaluation of the device and the intended setting.

Any treatment schedule should come from the applicable instructions and the treating professional's assessment of the individual.

Check which device a study evaluated

A published randomised, sham-controlled trial by Jimenez and colleagues evaluated specific HairMax laser-comb models and terminal hair density at 26 weeks. Those devices were distinct from NovaCap. The paper is useful when considering how a clinical study identifies its equipment, comparison group and measured outcome.

Read the primary research article. When reviewing a product claim, ask whether the evidence concerns the supplied model and intended use.
