What is FoLix?

FoLix is the first FDA-cleared fractional laser for hair loss, harnessing the power of hair laser technology to rejuvenate your scalp and stimulate hair follicles.

In studies led by industry experts, patients who underwent hair loss treatment with FoLix showed:

10%-18% increase in hair count
13%-16% increase in follicular units per square centimeter
Noticeable improvement in scalp hair appearance

How Does FoLix Work?

Here’s how FoLix works:

Targeted Laser Energy: FoLix uses a special laser that sends focused energy deep into the skin. This process, known as dermal coagulation, gently heats the skin without damaging the surface.
Natural Healing Activation: The warmth from the laser triggers your body’s natural healing processes. This is a crucial step as it helps to repair and revitalize the skin from within.
Enhanced Blood Flow and Nutrient Delivery: As part of the healing process, the treatment increases blood flow to the treated area. Better blood circulation means more oxygen and nutrients are delivered, which is essential for healthy skin and hair follicles.
Stimulation of Hair Follicles: By boosting cytokine activity—a key part of cellular communication—FoLix stimulates the hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth and improving the health of existing hair.

FoLix Treatment: What to Expect

FoLix treatment is fast and comfortable: Before the procedure starts, we will provide protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. During a FoLix treatment, we will apply the hair growth laser to your skin and the microbeams will pulsate energy beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate hair growth. The laser activates the natural healing process of your body to boost blood flow and stimulate hair growth. We will move the device across your scalp strategically so you have consistent growth after the treatment. The device is designed to ensure patient comfort, incorporating cooling mechanisms to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. The treatment length will depend on the size of the area you would like to treat. Most FoLix treatments take approximately 30 minutes.

After a series of FoLix treatments, you can enjoy long-lasting results and thicker, stronger, denser hair growth. Most patients receive 4-6 FoLix sessions to achieve their desired results. Depending on the severity of your hair loss, you may need several treatments to restore your scalp. Growing your hair back does take time, and you will need to be patient and care for your scalp well while your hair follicles regenerate.

FoLix Recovery

After a FoLix treatment, you can return to your normal activities immediately. Although there is not any downtime associated with this treatment, you should take good care of your scalp during your recovery to maintain your results and follow all post-procedure instructions carefully. Avoid excessive sun exposure and tools that could damage your hair. Do not enter a chlorinated pool for at least 24 hours. Do not dye your hair for one week after your treatment. Cleanse your scalp regularly, and detangle your hair gently.
