What is laser hair restoration, and how does the process work?

At image Dermatology ® P.C., our board-certified dermatologist is equipped with the latest technologies and techniques to help patients achieve beautiful, healthy skin. In addition, she serves patients who may be struggling with recent hair thinning and loss. With the use of laser devices, Dr. Jeanine Downie can help reverse hair loss using laser light energy.

What is laser hair restoration?

Dr. Downie describes laser hair restoration as a specialized process that uses lasers to target specific areas on the scalp experiencing hair loss. The laser energy stimulates the follicles and encourages new hair growth. KeraLase is a needle-free and painless procedure. The laser works on the hair follicles by opening the channels; the KeraFactor is then rubbed in, which helps the hair to grow.

There are a variety of laser hair restoration treatments available, and Dr. Downie customizes each treatment plan based on the individual patient’s needs using the KeraLase device. She typically recommends between six to eight treatment sessions initially, then a maintenance schedule once every three to four months for optimal results.

Is laser hair restoration effective?

Laser hair restoration is a safe and effective treatment option for both men and women experiencing hair loss. It can treat a wide range of conditions, including pattern baldness, alopecia, and thinning hair. The devices used at image Dermatology ® P.C. are approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and work best when handled and administered by a trained, experienced professional such as our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Downie.
