FoLix™ is a special kind of laser treatment that helps people who are losing their hair. It’s the first fractional laser device that has been cleared by both the FDA and Health Canada to treat hair loss. This means it’s been tested and approved as safe and effective for both men and women.
Here’s how it works:
✔ The laser makes tiny, gentle marks on the skin of the scalp.
✔ These tiny marks help “wake up” the hair follicles (the roots of your hair).
✔ This can help your hair grow back stronger and thicker over time.
FoLix™ treatments are:
✔ Non-invasive – there are no needles or surgery.
✔ Comfortable – most people feel little to no pain.
✔ Quick – the sessions are short, and there’s no downtime, so you can go right back to your day.
It’s a great option for people who want to improve hair growth without medications, serums or surgery, especially as surgery requires lengthy downtime and significant cost.
FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is FoLix laser treatment painful?
The treatment is very tolerable and often patients describe only mild discomfort like a mild sunburn. Numbing cream or anesthetic is not even needed.
What is the process for the treatment?
At your complimentary consultation, Dr. Chao will work with you to identify your treatment areas and goals. After the consultation, you can choose to undergo treatment. The treatment takes about 30 minutes but can vary depending on the treatment areas and goals.
When can I expect to see results?
Just like any treatment for hair loss, whether medications, injections or laser, it takes 6 months to determine if the treatment is helping. Dr. Chao can help you determine the optimal number of treatments to achieve your desired results.
What is the downtime?
Downtime is very short and consists of mild redness in the treated areas which resolves in 1-2 days, followed by a light sandpaper texture which resolves after 5-7 days.
How many treatments do I need?
6 treatments with 4-6 weeks in between each treatment are typically recommended for the best results. Dr. Chao can help you determine the optimal number of treatments to achieve your desired results. Maintenance treatments are recommended to maintain your results and occur every 3-4 months.
How much does treatment cost?
Treatment is not covered by MSP. The cost of the treatment depends on the area to be treated and whether topical serums are used as part of the service. Book a complimentary cosmetic hair loss consultation with Dr. Chao to learn more about the cost of this treatment.
