Scalp Health Is the Missing Link in Hair Care

Scalp aging begins earlier than many people realize—often in the early 30. Factors like genetics, hormonal shifts, inflammation, and environmental stressors can gradually weaken follicles, leading to thinning or loss over time. While skincare for the face is routine for most, the scalp often doesn’t get the same preventive attention, even though it deserves it just as much. Early, proactive intervention yields the best results.

KeraFactor: A Game Changer in Hair & Scalp Health

A new wave of regenerative, non-invasive solutions is transforming how thinning hair is treated. One standout option is KeraFactor, a targeted blend of biosynthetic growth factors and peptides designed to rejuvenate both the scalp and the follicles.

The Science Behind KeraFactor 

Follistatin – Extends the hair’s growth phase, supporting thicker, longer strands while reducing shedding.

PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) – Promotes tissue repair and follicle regeneration.

NanoFluorosomes – Reduces inflammation and helps balance scalp hormones

KeraLase Treatments with Kerafactor: The “Facial” for Your Scalp 

KeraLase combines KeraFactor with fractional laser technology (LaseMD Ultra 1927 nm) to improve absorption by 5–7.5 times compared to topical application alone. This ensures that active ingredients reach critical areas such as bulge stem cells and sebaceous glands.

Typical Treatment: Duration: About 40 minutes

• Steps: Laser passes, followed by KeraFactor application

• Schedule: Monthly sessions for six months, then maintenance every 4–6 months

• At-Home Care: Continued use of KeraFactor scalp solution, shampoo, and conditioner

Benefits at a Glance:

• Non-Invasive & Safe: No needles, hormones, or prescription medications involved.
  

• Enhanced Absorption & Targeting: Laser-generated channels and liposomal delivery boost efficacy
  

• Scalp Health & Hair Density: Improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and targeted follicle stimulation lead to healthier scalp conditions and visibly thicker hair.
  

• Convenience: Minimal downtime allows clients to resume daily activities immediately.

 Scalp Care is Hair Care: Dr. Sergay's Recommendations

• Wash your scalp regularly: Daily or every other day is essential. Pollution, sweat, and oil buildup impair follicle function.
  

• Treat scalp inflammation: Conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis can sabotage hair regrowth if left untreated.
  

• UV and pollution protection: Just like skin, the scalp ages with oxidative damage—wear hats and avoid harsh heat treatments.
  

• Be vigilant about red flags: Refer patients with scarring, itching, persistent redness, or patchy loss to a dermatologist.
  

SCIENCE NOT TRENDS

In an industry flooded with TikTok hacks and misinformation, see a board certified dermatologist instead of paying for treatments that do not consistently lead to results.

Here are some common trends Dr. Sergay does NOT recommend:

• Over-the-counter “miracle oils” and DIY scalp concoctions
  

• Coconut oil, onion juice, rosemary oil, castor oil, and similar are heavily marketed on social media as hair regrowth cures
  

• Biotin megadoses for everyone
  

• Laser caps & combs sold as “guaranteed regrowth”
  

• Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) might modestly slow hair loss in some people, but results are inconsistent, and it’s far from a standalone cure.
  

• Many devices are overpriced with exaggerated claims.
  

• Scalp detox” treatments

  - These trendy salon services often involve scrubbing, acids, or steaming to “unclog” follicles.
  

  - Hair loss in most adults isn’t caused by clogged follicles, so the effect is mostly cosmetic and temporary.
  

• Hormone “balancing” supplements without diagnosis

  - Products claiming to reset estrogen, testosterone, or thyroid without lab work are unregulated and often useless.
  

• TikTok/Instagram “overnight hair growth hacks”
