Your call
Which one fits you
Pick the Capillus PRO if
- You want the shortest full-coverage routine
- You like buying from an established brand with a physician network
- You want three years of warranty
The catch: You pay about $850 more than the illumiflow 272 Pro for the same laser count. What that buys is a shorter session and a longer warranty, not more light.
Pick the Kiierr 272 Premier if
- You want a discreet cap you can wear while moving around
- You like Kiierr's customer service reputation and US shipping speed
- You will take monthly photos (it waives the refund fee)
The catch: Same published specs as the illumiflow 272 Pro, which cost less and had a longer guarantee on the day we checked.
