LaseMD Ultra KeraLase

LaseMD Ultra KeraLase is a two-step non-surgical treatment designed to combat hair loss and stimulate hair growth. It combines the Lutronic LaseMD Ultra (a non-ablative thulium laser) with the specialised KeraFactor serum. The laser creates micro-channels in the scalp, dramatically enhancing the absorption of the powerful growth factors and proteins found in the KeraFactor serum, which are essential for healthier hair growth.

The treatment involves two main parts: Laser Creation of Micro-channels: The LaseMD Ultra laser is gently passed over the scalp. It creates thousands of microscopic "micro-channels" in the skin. These channels are like tiny pathways that allow topical solutions to penetrate much deeper than they would with simple application. KeraFactor Serum Application: Immediately after the laser, the KeraFactor serum is applied to the treated scalp. This serum is packed with bio-identical growth factors and proteins specifically formulated to stimulate dormant hair follicles, promote new hair growth, improve hair thickness, and enhance scalp health.

KeraLase is designed to treat various forms of hair loss and thinning, including: Androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) in both men and women. Generalised hair thinning. Improving overall hair quality, thickness, and density. Revitalising dormant hair follicles.

The KeraFactor serum contains a proprietary blend of up to seven different types of bio-identical growth factors and proteins. These are specifically chosen to address different phases of the hair cycle and follicle health, including factors that promote cell proliferation, blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), and reduction of inflammation in the scalp, which are crucial for optimal hair growth.

The treatment is generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort. Most patients describe a mild warming sensation or light prickling from the laser. There is typically no downtime. You might experience some mild redness or tenderness on the scalp immediately after, but this usually subsides within a few hours. You can typically return to your normal activities immediately.

A series of treatments is required for optimal results. A typical protocol involves 6 sessions, performed approximately 2-4 weeks apart. After the initial series, maintenance treatments may be recommended every 3-6 months, depending on individual needs and response.

The actual laser and serum application part of the treatment is quite quick, usually taking about 10-15 minutes. When you factor in preparing the scalp and any post-treatment instructions, the total clinic visit might be around 20-30 minutes.

Results are gradual. Most patients begin to notice improvements in hair shedding, texture, and density after 2-4 months of starting the treatment series. Optimal results are typically observed around 4-6 months after completing the initial series, as hair growth is a slow biological process.

Side Effects: Minimal. You might experience temporary mild redness, tenderness, or a tingling sensation on the scalp, which usually resolves within hours. Post-Treatment Care: You will typically be advised to avoid washing your hair for at least 12-24 hours after treatment to allow the serum to fully absorb. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat styling immediately afterward. Your practitioner will provide specific instructions.

Yes, it often can be. KeraLase can be a standalone treatment, but it also complements other hair restoration therapies such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), topical medications (like minoxidil), oral medications (like finasteride), or even hair transplant procedures. Your practitioner can help determine the best combination therapy for your specific condition.
