"Hair transplants have exploded in popularity in recent years - so much so that flights returning from Turkey packed with men sporting freshly transplanted hairlines have become a meme. And the stigma surrounding the once-taboo procedure is lessening. In August, John Cena said his recent hair transplant "completely changed the course of my life." While effective, transplants are still surgeries that require thousands of dollars, time off work, and a multi-week recovery process."
"However, FoLix, the first FDA-cleared fractional laser of its kind, administered in-office by a provider, offers men and women a surgery-free way to help with their hair loss. Dermatologists say that the new treatment, which began appearing in clinics over the past year, could be a game changer for patients who may not like the daily regimen of pills or the invasiveness of hair transplant surgery."
"Lasers aren't totally new for hair loss. Dr. Dendy Engelman, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City who does not offer FoLix, said that it differs from other treatments like red-light caps. That's because FoLix creates microscopic channels in the scalp to trigger a controlled healing response, boost circulation, and deliver growth signals to the follicles for natural hair growth."
Hair transplants have grown widely popular but remain surgical, costly, and require recovery time. FoLix is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive fractional laser performed in-office to stimulate hair through existing follicles. The treatment creates microscopic scalp channels to trigger a controlled healing response, boost circulation, and deliver growth signals to follicles. FoLix differs from passive red-light caps by actively engaging the body's wound-healing processes for stronger visible growth. The treatment began appearing in clinics over the past year and may appeal to patients who prefer a surgery-free alternative or who dislike daily pill regimens, though not everyone is a candidate.
