Keralase
KeraLase is an advanced laser-based treatment that uses a non-ablative fractional thulium laser (1927nm MOXI) or skin pen to create precise microchannels in the scalp. These channels allow for effective delivery of a specially formulated growth factor-rich serum (KeraFactor) that rejuvenates the scalp and stimulates hair follicles.
KeraLase is a versatile treatment suitable for many causes of hair thinning or shedding:
· Post-illness or stress-related telogen effluvium (e.g. COVID associated hair loss)
· Androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss that affects both males and females)
· Early thinning or reduced hair density
· Postpartum or peri-menopausal hair loss
It is especially useful when there is a need for visible improvement within a short timeframe.
It works by:
· Enhancing scalp circulation
· Rebuilding collagen and the extracellular matrix to support follicle health
· Delivering bio-identical growth factors that:
· Prolong the anagen (growth) phase
· Prevent premature follicle regression
· Help miniaturised follicles regrow thicker and stronger
FAQ
-
Preparation:
Ensure hair is completely dry
Avoid applying styling products, serums, or oils prior
Do not wash your hair immediately before treatment – this avoids scalp barrier disruption
Laser Application (5–10 mins):
The 1927nm MOXI laser or skin pen is applied across the scalp to create microchannels.
Growth Factor Serum Application:
The KeraFactor serum is massaged in to allow deep penetration through the microchannels.
LED Light Activation:
The Heal Lite II LED device is used immediately after to reduce inflammation and boost absorption and enhance the effects of the growth factors on your hair and scalp cells.

Initial course:
6 treatments spaced every 2–4 weeksMaintenance:
Every 3–6 months, depending on your hair loss pattern and goalsThis schedule can be tailored depending on:
· Severity and cause of hair loss
· Timeline for visible recovery
· Whether you’re also on other treatments
-
Many patients notice improvement within 4–8 weeks, which is faster than most hair treatments. This includes:
· Thicker individual hairs
· Increased number of growing hairs
· Healthier, more resilient scalp
Full improvement is usually seen over 3–6 months. -
The procedure is very well tolerated:
· Most patients feel a mild warm or prickling sensation
· There is minimal to no downtime
· You may return to work or social activities immediately
· Rare side effects include headache or scalp irritation
-
KeraLase is ideal if you haven’t responded well to minoxidil, PRP, or LED alone.
Its triple-action effect (laser + serum + LED) enhances results and may help you break through a plateau in your current hair care journey. -
Yes — an important and often overlooked benefit of KeraLase, particularly when using the 1927nm laser, is its role in improving scalp skin health and potentially reducing future skin cancer risk.
Here’s how:
· The 1927nm laser (a non-ablative thulium fractional wavelength) targets sun-damaged cells in the superficial layers of the skin, where precancerous changes like actinic keratoses begin to form.
· It promotes skin cell turnover and stimulates collagen repair, helping reverse early photo-damage.
· When combined with growth factor serum, the regenerative effect on the extracellular matrix and vascular support structures may further enhance immune surveillance and repair capacity in chronically sun-exposed skin.
-
The scalp — especially in men with thinning or no hair, or women with widened part lines — is one of the most sun-exposed and neglected areas when it comes to sun protection.
· Scalp squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are often more aggressive, with higher risk of deep invasion and metastasis than SCCs elsewhere.
· Hair loss removes your natural UV shield, making the scalp particularly vulnerable to chronic UV damage.
Treating this area with KeraLase + 1927nm laser not only supports hair regrowth, but also serves as a preventive treatment for:
· Actinic keratoses
· UV-induced dermal elastosis
· Precancerous changes linked to long-term sun exposure
-
KeraLase improves scalp resilience, but everyday sun protection is essential:
✔ Wear a broad-brimmed hat when outdoors
✔ Use a scalp spray sunscreen (look for non-greasy or powder-based formulations)
✔ Avoid peak UV times and be vigilant with regular skin checksThis combination of preventive care + laser scalp therapy makes KeraLase a smart investment not only in hair regrowth, but also in long-term scalp health and cancer prevention.
It combines science-backed laser technology, powerful growth factors, and LED activation in one seamless treatment. This is an ideal addition to any comprehensive hair loss recovery program.
