If you are seeking an advanced, non-invasive solution for hair thinning or hair loss, Keralase™ Laser Restoration offers an innovative approach to hair rejuvenation. At Metropolis Dermatology in Costa Mesa, CA, we specialize in providing this cutting-edge treatment, designed to promote healthy hair growth with minimal discomfort and downtime.

What is Hair Restoration Laser Treatment?

Keralase™ Laser Restoration is a non-surgical hair restoration procedure that combines fractional laser technology with the Kerafactor™ serum, a topical growth factor solution. The treatment enhances scalp health and stimulates hair follicles to support the regrowth of thicker, healthier hair. Using a fractional laser, the procedure creates tiny microchannels in the scalp, allowing the Kerafactor™ serum to penetrate deeply and deliver essential nutrients to hair follicles. This combination promotes collagen production, increases blood circulation, and revitalizes the scalp to encourage natural hair growth.

 

How It Works

The Keralase™ process includes two key components:

  • Fractional Laser Treatment: Controlled micro-injuries are created in the scalp using a specialized laser, which stimulates collagen and elastin production and improves blood flow to the hair follicles.
  • Kerafactor™ Serum Application: After the laser treatment, the Kerafactor™ serum is applied to the scalp. This serum is infused with proprietary growth factors and proteins that nourish and revitalize hair follicles, enhancing hair density and quality.

This dual-action approach addresses multiple factors contributing to hair loss, making Keralase™ a comprehensive solution for hair restoration.

Target Concerns

Keralase™ is effective for a variety of hair loss concerns, including:

  • Thinning Hair: Increases the density and volume of existing hair.
  • Pattern Baldness: Addresses androgenetic alopecia in both men and women.
  • Postpartum Hair Loss: Supports women experiencing hair shedding after childbirth.
  • Age-Related Thinning: Restores hair and scalp health affected by aging.
  • Stress-Induced Hair Loss: Rejuvenates hair growth disrupted by stress.

Ideal candidates include men and women looking for a non-invasive alternative to surgical hair restoration procedures.

 

Common Treatment Areas

Keralase™ is primarily used to treat hair loss on the scalp, including:

  • Crown of the scalp.
  • Hairline and temples.
  • Sides of the head (commonly affected by male pattern baldness).

Our specialists can tailor the treatment to target your specific areas of concern for optimal results.

 

What to Expect During Treatment

Keralase™ sessions are quick and convenient, lasting about 30 minutes. The process involves:

  • Laser Application: A fractional laser is used to create microchannels in the scalp.
  • Serum Application: The Kerafactor™ serum is applied immediately after the laser treatment to penetrate deeply into the microchannels.

The procedure is virtually painless, with most patients experiencing only mild warmth or tingling during the session. There is no downtime, making it an excellent option for those with busy schedules.

 

How Long Do Results Last?

Most patients begin to notice visible improvements within a few months as hair follicles transition into the active growth phase. Full results are typically achieved after completing a series of sessions, spaced about four weeks apart. Results can last up to a year or more with proper scalp care and maintenance.

To maintain results, follow-up treatments may be recommended, along with a healthy hair care routine.

FAQs

Is the treatment painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort, often described as a slight tingling sensation during the laser application.

How many sessions are required?
A typical treatment plan involves 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about four weeks apart, depending on your hair restoration goals.

Can Keralase™ be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Keralase™ can be safely combined with other therapies, such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or microneedling, to enhance results.

When can I wash my hair after treatment?
You should wait at least 24 hours after your session before washing your hair to allow the serum to fully absorb.

Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal and may include temporary redness or sensitivity in the treated area, which typically resolves within a day or two.

I have been going to Metropolis Dermatology for about two years now, and it has been, and continues to be, a wonderful experience. The staff are always friendly, thorough, and welcoming. They make everything run so smoothly, and I appreciate how prompt they are in answering any questions I have. But the star of the show is Dr. Shauna Higgins! I could spend all day writing about what an incredible physician she is. She is the kind of doctor people wish for. She’s incredibly caring, so attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. At every appointment with her, I walk out feeling seen and heard, and I always leave with a smile on my face. Prior to coming to her, I was struggling with my skin in many ways, but she has completely fixed all of those issues! If I could have her as all of my doctors, I absolutely would.

They have snacks, tea, coffee , and water for you. The staff is very nice and pleasant. One staff suggested a nice restaurant and bakery . Dr. Higgins is excellent and has great communication skills. I asked a few questions and she gladly answered. Some doctors are short and blunt and you don't feel comfortable asking questions. I'm glad Metropolis is not that type of medical facility . The staff are courteous, the place is clean and they have snacks!
