After laser-based hair growth helmets, here we are with laser hair regrowth caps.
There are many LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy) caps in the market, among which I have picked Illumiflow 272 and 148 laser caps.
Illumiflow started selling its caps in 2017. The caps’ competitive price and efficiency are the reason I chose them.
The Ilumiflow 272 laser cap has 60% overall positive reviews on the eCommerce platform on Amazon,
Among 40% negative reviews on Amazon, 63% are about technical glitches like battery failure, receiving defective products, etc. (We can ignore those as the products come with a 5-year manufacturer warranty)
So, if we only focus on results related to the success or failure of the caps in encouraging hair regrowth, we get a 78% positive score for Illumiflow on Amazon.
If we combine the reviews on other eCommerce sites and the website’s page, Illumiflow caps have 4.4 average ratings.
Now, we will dive straight into the two laser caps by Illumiflow, their use, and specifications, pricing, what the package includes, warranty, troubleshooting, and payment options.

Money-back Guarantee and Manufacturer’s Warranty
The 6-month money-back guarantee applies to products bought from the site. We are not sure whether the refund policy applies to products bought on Amazon or other eCommerce platforms. So, I suggest you talk to their customer support before making a purchase.
If you are not satisfied with the product after 180 days of use from the delivery date, you can raise a request to return it at support@illumiflow.com and demand a refund. Make sure the return request is within 30 days from the completion of 180 days of use. Illumiflow asks for no proof to support your return request. However, I feel it doesn’t hurt to keep the evidence handy. It’s crucial to retain all the documents/valid proof of purchase you might have to produce while returning the product. The company will also require you to attach a postmark to the return package within ten days of the request. Though you will get the full refund, you will have to pay the shipping charges for returning the product. You might have to pay a 25% restocking fee if there is any damage to the product, apart from normal wear. Therefore, make sure your cap is in good condition.
Illumiflow offers customers a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. The warranty applies to products bought from the site or their authorized retailers. I suggest you talk to their customer support before about the policy before purchasing the product from other retailers. You must produce valid proof of purchase while requesting a replacement.
