UltraMD
Hair Restoration

KeraLase is a great starting point — it's the proprietary serum designed for the UltraMD system, with no blood draw, no variables, and proven results for thinning and scalp health. PRF is ideal for clients who prefer a fully biological approach using their own growth factors, and responds particularly well in clients with moderate shedding. PDGF+ is the highest-potency option — pharmaceutical-grade, with no blood draw and up to 300,000 times the growth factor concentration of PRP. It's often chosen by clients who want the strongest possible follicle signal or who haven't responded as expected to other approaches. We'll help you decide at your consultation based on your hair loss pattern, timeline, and goals.

Most clients start with a series of 6 to 12 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Hair restoration is a gradual biological process — follicles need consistent stimulation over time to shift out of their resting state and into active growth. Many clients notice reduced shedding within the first 1 to 3 sessions, with visible thickening becoming apparent at 3 to 6 months. After completing an initial series, a maintenance session every 6 to 12 months keeps results sustained and continues building on the follicle foundation you've established.

The UltraMD laser portion is very comfortable — most clients describe a warm, tingling sensation on the scalp. No numbing is required. There is essentially no downtime; you can return to normal activities immediately. We recommend avoiding washing your hair for 12 to 24 hours after treatment to allow the serum to continue absorbing. If you choose PRF, there's a brief blood draw at the beginning of each appointment — this is the only part that involves any needle use, and most clients find it very manageable.

Yes. The UltraMD laser targets the scalp and follicle layer, not the hair shaft. Colored, chemically treated, highlighted, or processed hair is completely unaffected by the treatment. The comb tip technology parts the hair to deliver laser energy directly to the scalp surface, so the hair itself isn't involved in the process at all.

Absolutely — and we often recommend a comprehensive approach. UltraMD hair restoration pairs very well with minoxidil, finasteride (for appropriate candidates), nutraceuticals like biotin and saw palmetto, and at-home KeraFactor serums. The laser treatment creates the ideal follicle environment, and maintaining that environment with supportive home care amplifies and prolongs your results. We'll discuss a complete protocol at your consultation.

Alaska's long, dry winters can significantly impact scalp health — leading to dryness, flaking, and a compromised follicle environment that exacerbates thinning. We factor this into our treatment recommendations, often suggesting hydrating scalp serums and barrier-supporting home care between sessions. KeraLase and PDGF+ both contain hyaluronic acid that helps restore scalp hydration, making them particularly well-suited for clients dealing with the Anchorage climate year-round.
