What is FoLix?
The FoLix hair loss treatment is non-invasive laser therapy designed to help men and women struggling with hair thinning and baldness. Unlike other treatment options that rely on daily medications, needles, or surgery, FoLix by Lumenis uses advanced laser technology to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes to encourage activation of hair follicles.
According to Bosley, America’s #1 hair restoration clinic, these are the three biggest advancements in hair growth in the past 40 years:
1988: FDA approval of Rogaine (Minoxidil)
1997: FDA approval of Propecia
2024: FDA clearance of FoLix™
How Does FoLix Work?
The FoLix laser’s thermal energy creates tiny columns of coagulation, or micro-injuries, in the skin. The body senses these injuries and responds by activating its natural healing process. This leads to activation of fibroblasts and white blood cells, which release cytokines, growth factors, stimulate collagen production, and ultimately trigger hair follicle regeneration.
FoLix also causes a gene expression change that stimulates the Wnt/ß-cat pathway and Sonic Hedgehog pathway(SHH) - which work to reawaken dormant hair follicles.
The FoLix laser for hair loss is considered a non-ablative treatment, which means it does not damage the skin or cause scarring. Instead, it works beneath the surface, promoting the body’s natural healing process to revive and support hair health without the need for surgery, medications, or injections. Over time, patients will notice a gradual improvement in hair thickness, density, and overall scalp health.
The FoLix laser works differently from Low Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLLT) cap.
How Many
Treatments Are
Required?
The number of FoLix sessions needed depends on the individual’s level of hair loss and their response to therapy. Most patients undergo 4 to 6 initial treatments, with each session spaced about 4 weeks (1 month) apart.
Because the treatment is non-invasive, sessions are quick, typically lasting about 30-45 minutes, and require no downtime.
While some people may begin noticing changes after a few treatments, the best results are typically seen within 3 to 6 months. Over time, as the laser continues to stimulate the scalp, patients experience increased hair density, stronger strands, and reduced shedding.
Following the initial 4 to 6 sessions, maintenance sessions should be completed 1-2 times annually to maintain and enhance long-term results.
Is FoLix Painful?
One of the biggest advantages of the FoLix hair loss treatment is that pain is minimal during the procedure and no pain is expected once the treatment session has concluded. Unlike some hair restoration procedures that involve multiple needle sticks in the scalp (like PRP - also known as “vampire” treatments), surgery, or medication with side effects, FoLix is a completely non-invasive hair growth treatment that does not require any numbing.
During the session, patients may feel a mild warming or tingling sensation as the laser is applied to the scalp. Some describe it as a slight prickling feeling, but it is not painful. The treatment also includes contact cooling technology, which helps keep the scalp comfortable throughout the process.
Recovery Time
and Aftercare
One of the most appealing aspects of the FoLix system is that there is no downtime. Since this is a non-invasive treatment for hair loss, patients can return to their normal activities immediately after each session. There are no restrictions on exercising or going about daily routines, though we do ask that patients wait 24 hours to shampoo their hair.
After a treatment session, some individuals may experience mild redness or slight sensitivity on the scalp. However, this usually fades within a few hours, and unlike surgical procedures, there are no stitches, swelling, or scarring to worry about.
To maximize results, it is recommended to:
Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area for a few days.
Use a gentle shampoo to keep the scalp clean and healthy.
Stay consistent with the treatment plan to ensure the best possible hair regrowth.
Since FoLix works by stimulating natural hair growth, results will appear gradually over time. Patients typically notice thicker, fuller hair within 3 to 6 months, with continued improvements as the scalp and follicles respond to treatment.
