If you are looking for an advanced, non-invasive solution for hair loss, Keralase™ Laser Restoration is making waves in the field of hair rejuvenation. Performed by experienced professionals at Metropolis Dermatology in San Jose, Keralase™ is designed for individuals experiencing hair thinning or loss, delivering impressive results with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What Is Keralase™ Laser Restoration?
Keralase™ Laser Restoration is a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that uses fractional resurfacing to stimulate the scalp’s natural healing process. By combining the Kerafactor system with laser technology, the treatment enhances the absorption of topical growth factors, which are applied to the scalp after the laser creates tiny microchannels. These growth factors help stimulate hair follicles, improve circulation, and promote new, healthy hair growth.
How It Works
Keralase™ uses a fractional laser to create controlled micro-injuries in the scalp, triggering the body’s production of collagen and elastin. This boosts nutrient delivery to the hair follicles, improving their health and stimulating hair growth. The topical growth factors applied after the laser treatment penetrate deeply into the scalp, further promoting hair regeneration and restoring thicker, healthier hair.
Target Concerns
Keralase™ is particularly effective for treating several hair loss concerns, including:
- Thinning hair. Helps increase the density and volume of existing hair.
- Pattern baldness. Both men and women experiencing androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss) may benefit from Keralase™.
- Postpartum hair loss. Women experiencing hair shedding after childbirth can see hair restoration.
- Age-related hair thinning. Addresses scalp and hair health issues due to aging.
By promoting collagen and elastin production and increasing blood circulation to hair follicles, Keralase™ tackles hair thinning from multiple angles.
Common Treatment Areas
While Keralase™ is typically used on the scalp to treat thinning hair and hair loss, it can be applied to any areas experiencing hair thinning. Most commonly, patients seek treatment for the following areas:
- Crown of the scalp
- Hairline
- Temples
- Sides of the head (for men experiencing pattern baldness)
What to Expect During Treatment
Keralase™ treatments are quick, usually lasting about 30 minutes. The session begins with the application of a fractional laser, which creates microscopic channels in the scalp. Once these channels are made, a specialized growth factor serum (Kerafactor) is applied, allowing the beneficial ingredients to penetrate deeply into the scalp.
This treatment is virtually painless, though patients may experience mild discomfort during the laser application. There is little to no downtime, making it an ideal option for those with busy schedules.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results from Keralase™ treatments typically start becoming visible within a few months as hair follicles enter their active growth phase. Most patients will see full results after multiple sessions, typically spaced about four weeks apart.
To maintain optimal results, patients should avoid sun exposure, keep the scalp hydrated, and follow any specific instructions provided by our team of professionals. Hair restoration results may last for up to a year or more, depending on individual factors like age, health, and genetics.
Who Are the Ideal Candidates?
Keralase™ is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or loss. Ideal candidates include individuals dealing with:
- Genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
- Postpartum hair shedding
- Age-related thinning
- Stress-induced hair loss
However, those with certain scalp conditions or who are pregnant should consult with us before considering the treatment.
