Niostem is a wearable (helmet) that uses "bioelectrical stimulation" to stop hair loss and regrow hair. As someone who has been researching men's hair loss for quite some time, the maker of this device makes some significant claims. I'd say the boldest yet.
In the best case scenario, for those who are a Norwood 6 or less, they claim 100% stoppage of hair loss (in their study), and theoretically, a potential of 100% recovery of lost hair; which would seem to take several years. Here is a quote from the makers on their Indiegogo page:

Our tests have been run for 6 months. In the people that tested the device we quantified an almost linear increase in hair density (by 3 months an average hair density increase of 12% and by 6 months 19,3%). Based on these observations we predict that the results should increase over extended periods of time. However, it’s important to note that you would recover, over time, most of the hair that you have lost but you would not grow “extra hair”, in other words, if you had 100 hairs before your hair loss started and now you have 60 hairs, you could probably recover up to 90-100 (then it plateaus) but you would never get 110 or more. The degree of recovery would depend on many factors like age, hair loss stage, when our hair loss started, etc.
Best,
Team niostem
We conducted a pilot study to quantify niostem’s efficacy and safety. The study lasted for 6 months and included 22 male participants(Norwood Scale 2-6, aged 20-50).
The Results
Hair Density increased by 42 hairs/cm²
Hair density and thickness were quantified independently using image analyses of trichoscopy pictures of the scalp (blinded analysis by Surrey Trichology Clinic, UK).
