Struggling with thinning hair or patchy hair loss? At Metropolis Dermatology in Pasadena, CA, we offer Keralase™ Hair Restoration—an advanced, non-surgical treatment designed to rejuvenate the scalp, stimulate healthy hair growth, and restore your confidence. This innovative solution is ideal for both men and women experiencing early to moderate stages of hair thinning, offering real results with virtually no downtime.

What Is Keralase™ Hair Restoration?

Keralase™ Hair Restoration is a breakthrough in non-invasive hair loss treatments. It combines fractional laser technology with a potent Kerafactor® growth factor serum to revitalize inactive or weakened hair follicles. The laser creates microscopic channels in the scalp that allow for deeper absorption of the serum, enhancing scalp health and triggering new hair growth over time. Unlike hair transplants or oral medications, Keralase™ works directly on the scalp to encourage the body’s natural healing and regenerative processes—making it a safe, effective option without surgery or systemic side effects.

 

How Does Keralase™ Work?

The treatment uses a non-ablative fractional laser to safely create controlled micro-injuries in the scalp. These tiny channels serve two essential purposes:

  1. Stimulate collagen and elastin production, which improves circulation and the overall health of the scalp.
  2. Enhance penetration of the Kerafactor® serum, which is applied immediately following the laser session.

This serum contains seven concentrated peptides specifically formulated to support hair follicle repair and regrowth. Once absorbed, the ingredients begin to nourish dormant follicles, reactivate growth cycles, and thicken existing strands over the course of several treatments.

 

What Hair Loss Concerns Does Keralase™ Treat?

Keralase™ is a versatile treatment suitable for addressing many common types of hair loss and scalp concerns, including:

  • Thinning hair across the scalp
    Encourages fuller, denser hair in areas with reduced volume.
  • Male and female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
    Helps slow progression and stimulate regrowth in hereditary thinning.
  • Hair loss after pregnancy
    A great option for postpartum women experiencing temporary shedding.
  • Age-related hair loss
    Improves circulation and follicle strength to support scalp vitality.
  • Stress-related hair thinning
    Can support recovery and follicle repair after periods of increased stress.

This multi-targeted approach addresses both the causes and visible effects of hair thinning, making Keralase™ a holistic solution for scalp rejuvenation.

 

Where Can Keralase™ Be Used?

Keralase™ is most commonly applied to the scalp but can also be used on any area where hair thinning is noticeable. Some of the most requested treatment zones include:

  • Crown of the scalp
  • Frontal hairline
  • Temples and sides of the head
  • Diffuse thinning throughout the scalp

Whether you’re seeing early signs of hair loss or more noticeable patches, our providers will personalize your treatment plan based on the specific areas affected.

 

What to Expect During Your Keralase™ Appointment

Each treatment session lasts approximately 30 minutes and involves two key steps:

  1. Laser Application
    The scalp is treated with a gentle fractional laser that creates microchannels—tiny openings that allow better penetration of active ingredients.

     

  2. Kerafactor® Serum Application
    The serum is applied immediately after laser treatment and massaged into the scalp, where it absorbs deeply into the skin for maximum effectiveness.

Most patients report minimal discomfort. You may feel a slight tingling or warmth, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated with no anesthesia or numbing required.

 

When Will I See Results?

Hair growth is a gradual process, and results will vary depending on your starting point. Most patients begin noticing subtle improvements—like less shedding and finer “baby hairs”—after the first two to three sessions.

Full results typically develop over a series of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced four weeks apart. With consistent treatment and proper scalp care, you can expect to see:

  • Fuller, denser-looking hair
  • Improved scalp health
  • Slowed progression of thinning

Following treatment, results can last for 12 months or longer, especially with maintenance sessions and proper at-home care.

 

Who Is a Good Candidate for Keralase™?

Keralase™ is ideal for patients experiencing mild to moderate hair thinning and early-stage hair loss. It’s suitable for most healthy adults, including:

  • Men and women with genetic hair thinning
  • Women dealing with postpartum hair shedding
  • Adults with age- or stress-related hair loss
  • Individuals looking for non-surgical, drug-free options

If you’re currently pregnant or have an active scalp infection, we recommend consulting with our medical team before beginning treatment.

 

Post-Treatment Care and Maintenance

To ensure optimal results and avoid irritation, we recommend the following aftercare:

  • Wait 24 hours before washing your hair.
  • Avoid sun exposure on the scalp for a few days post-treatment.
  • Keep the scalp hydrated and follow any aftercare instructions provided by your provider.
  • Avoid harsh hair products for at least a few days following treatment.

Your provider may also recommend a homecare serum to enhance results between sessions.

FAQs

What is Keralase™ hair restoration, and how does it work?

Keralase™ is a non-surgical treatment that combines fractional laser energy with a topical serum to stimulate hair regrowth. The laser opens microchannels in the scalp, allowing a growth factor-rich serum to deeply penetrate and nourish hair follicles.

How many Keralase™ treatments are needed for hair regrowth?

Most patients see the best results with 3 to 6 sessions, spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. Your provider will recommend the right treatment plan based on your hair goals and condition.

Does Keralase™ help with postpartum hair loss?

Yes, Keralase™ is a great option for women experiencing postpartum shedding, as it promotes scalp healing and can help restore natural density over time.

Is there any downtime after Keralase™ treatments?

There is little to no downtime. Most people return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Some may experience mild redness or warmth on the scalp.

Can I combine Keralase™ with PRP or other hair restoration treatments?

Absolutely. Keralase™ can be safely combined with PRP therapy, microneedling, or other hair growth treatments to boost results. Your provider can build a custom combination protocol for your needs.

Is Keralase™ safe for color-treated or chemically treated hair?

Yes, Keralase™ is safe for individuals with color-treated, permed, or chemically processed hair. It works on the scalp, not the hair strands, so it won’t interfere with your existing hair treatments.
