KeraLase Hair Restoration
Keralase™ is a combination treatment for thinning and hair loss. Kerlase combines our Ultra resurfacing laser with KeraFactor® – a topical treatment serum. KeraFactor is a complex & unique blend of peptides and proteins that includes five bioidentical growth factors and two skin proteins essential for scalp and hair growth. The Ultra machine is used to deliver the Kerafactor serum by creating non-ablative micro-channels. The micro-channels have been shown to create 5 times higher absorption of nano-liposomes, increasing the delivery of the nano-liposomes found in the KeraFactor® Serum.
FAQs
Any patient that seeks treatment for hair thinning or hair loss could benefit from Keralase™. Keralase™ is designed to stimulate hair growth and revitalize the scalp. Improvement in scalp health and hair growth will likely be seen through a series of treatments scheduled one month apart. For best results, it is recommended that patients have the Keralase™ in-office treatment once every 2 weeks. A total of 6 treatments is recommended, for a total of three months minimum. Although in some patients the results from a treatment are seen immediately, in most patients they will appear gradually during 3-5 treatments. A maintenance in-office treatment every 1-3 months is also encouraged.
The combination of Keralase™ and daily use of the take-home KeraFactor® spray in between treatments is recommended for optimal results and to maintain overall scalp and hair health. The spray and Keralase™ serum both contain the same growth factors and skin proteins, however, the in-office solution contains a much higher concentration of these ingredients. Using the spray at home will lead to ongoing hair health and could lead to less maintenance treatments.
A topical numbing solution will be applied to the scalp for about 20 minutes. After the treatment includes using the ultra laser to treat the scalp and the Kerafactor solution will be applied. Minimal discomfort is expected and the topical solution will be given as a take home application serum.
Short-term immediate risks include redness at the area being treated, although usually this dissipates within 24 hours. Heat and tingling sensations may occur up to a few hours after the treatment, but normally do not last longer. Swelling can also occur and could last for 3-7 days. In some rare instances, swelling and/or redness have lasted several weeks. There also may be peeling at the treated area.
Keralase™ may be combined with many other treatments for hair loss such as PRP, microneedling, and topical products. Patients may choose a combination of different treatments to achieve the maximum aesthetic result.
