Keralase MD

Fractional resurfacing, when used as a delivery method for growth factors into the scalp, is a treatment aimed at promoting hair growth and improving the overall condition of the scalp. Fractional resurfacing is a procedure that utilizes laser technology to create microscopic channels in the skin. These channels stimulate the body’s natural healing response and enhance the absorption and efficacy of growth factors applied topically to the scalp. We utilize the Kerafactor system to perform the treatment, called Keralase MD.

During the treatment, the fractional laser creates controlled micro-injuries in the scalp, triggering the production of collagen and elastin. This process helps to improve blood circulation, increase nutrient delivery to the hair follicles, and stimulate the growth of new hair. Additionally, the micro-channels created by the laser facilitate the penetration of growth factors into the deeper layers of the scalp, where they can exert their beneficial effects.

The delivery of growth factors into the scalp using fractional resurfacing is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning due to various factors such as aging, hormonal changes, or genetic predisposition. The growth factors used in the treatment are typically derived from the patient’s own blood or obtained from specialized medical formulations. These growth factors promote hair follicle stimulation, improve the health of existing hair, and encourage the growth of new hair strands.

This treatment option is considered non-invasive and well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort and downtime. It can be customized based on the individual’s specific needs and can be combined with other hair restoration techniques for enhanced results. By utilizing fractional resurfacing as a delivery method, the growth factors can be targeted precisely to the areas of concern, maximizing their effectiveness and promoting optimal hair growth.

I love Dr Higgins ! I’ve been a patient with her for the last two years. I originally came to see her because I was struggling with painful hormonal acne and a lot of hyper pigmentation issues. Two years later my skin is GLOWING and my confidence is up! Dr Higgins is so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. She cares for all her patients like they are her family. I even come to the office twice a month now to see Bella for extraction facials that are covered by my insurance (incredible! unheard of! a $30 professional facial!). The team at the front desk are so sweet and also make sure that my favorite snacks are stocked in the waiting room when I come in, and are always really helpful when I need to coordinate my medication refills. I have recommended lots of my friends to see Dr Higgins for everything from acne issues to hair loss treatments. Dr Higgins is such a gem and I’m so happy I found her !

Quick, professional, and thorough! I was in and out within 20-30 minutes from arrival time. They resolved all of my issues regarding my skin as well as provided detailed information on recovery and treatment. I’ve already referred other patients who also had similar experiences.
