KeraLase vs. PRF Injections for Hair Restoration

Introduction

Both Keralase and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) injections are treatments used in hair restoration, but they work through different mechanisms and have varying effectiveness for different individuals. Here’s a comparison:

1. Keralase

• Mechanism: Keralase typically refers to utilizing a laser such as LasesMD to stimulate the scalp and then applying KeraFactor which is a topical serum that contains a combination of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that support hair growth and health.
• Application: It is applied directly to the scalp to nourish the hair follicles and improve the overall condition of the scalp.

2. PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Injections

• Mechanism: PRF involves using the patient’s own blood fibrin, which is rich in
  platelets, to promote hair growth. The platelets release growth factors that
  stimulate the hair follicles and encourage new hair growth.
• Application: PRF is injected directly into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles. The growth factors in the PRF improve the health and thickness of existing hair and stimulate the growth of new hair.

Choosing Between Keralase and PRF

• Preference and Convenience: Keralase, being a gentle topical treatment, may be
  preferred by those who prefer non-invasive options or have concerns about injections.
• Consultation: It’s crucial to consult with your provider or hair restoration specialist to determine which treatment is best suited to your specific condition and expectations.

In summary, Keralase and PRF injections both aim to improve hair health and growth. Both are effective treatments, however, individual responses can vary, so consulting with a healthcare professional is essential to make an informed decision on which one is right for you.
