1927-nm Thulium Laser + KeraFactor® Serum + Keraflex™ Duo Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)
If hair shedding or thinning is dimming your confidence, Anara Medspa now offers a physician-performed, non-surgical treatment that pairs a 1927-nm fractional laser with KeraFactor® growth-factor serum and Keraflex™ low-level dual laser light therapy. The goal: restore scalp health, support thicker-looking hair, and complement medical therapies you may already use—all with minimal downtime. No needles!
At Anara Medspa, every consultation and treatment are performed by Dr. Ram Chandra, our widely loved cosmetic and laser physician known for his honest, patient-first care and meticulous technique.
Quick summary (for busy readers)
- What it is: Laser-assisted serum delivery + LLLT to optimize the scalp environment and support hair density.
- Good for: Women and men with early to moderate pattern hair loss or overall thinning; can be used with minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride (if prescribed by your physician), PRP, or supplements.
- Downtime: Pinkness/warmth on the scalp for hours to 1–2 days; most resume normal activity the same day.
- Plan: Typically, 3–6 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart, then maintenance.
- Where: Performed in our physician-led clinic in East Brunswick, Central New Jersey (convenient to North/South Brunswick, Edison, New Brunswick, Old Bridge, Monroe, Marlboro, and Princeton).
How KeraLase works (in simple terms)
- 1927-nm thulium fractional laser (non-ablative):
This gentle laser makes thousands of microscopic “microchannels” in the scalp’s upper layers. The channels are temporary pathways that can increase absorption of topically applied actives without removing the skin surface. Think of it as opening tiny doors so the right ingredients can get where they’re needed. - KeraFactor® growth-factor/peptide serum:
Immediately after lasering, Dr. Chandra applies a curated blend of synthetic biomimetic growth factors and peptides designed to target key signals involved in hair cycling and scalp health. - Keraflex™ Duo low-level light therapy (LLLT)- 650 nm & 810 nm:
We finish with medical-grade LLLT to support cellular energy production in hair-follicle cells and help maintain a favorable environment for hair growth.
What the research says (the short version)
- Thulium 1927-nm for pattern hair loss: Preclinical and clinical data suggest the 1927-nm thulium fractional laser can improve hair density and thickness in pattern hair loss, with a favorable safety profile. PubMed
- Laser-assisted delivery (LADD): Fractional non-ablative lasers that create microchannels have been shown to enhance delivery of topical agents to the scalp and, in small studies, improve hair regrowth/density when combined with growth factors or medications. Larger, controlled trials are still needed to standardize settings and protocols. PMC+2PubMed+2
- 1927-nm + growth-factor serum (pilot/early data): Early clinical reports and pilot studies (including thulium laser combined with a proprietary growth-factor serum) show increased hair density and thickness, but more robust randomized trials are ongoing. ishrs-htforum.org+2ClinicalTrials.gov+2
- LLLT evidence base: Multiple randomized, placebo-controlled trials and meta-analyses support LLLT as a safe, effective adjunct for androgenetic alopecia in women and men, improving hair counts vs. placebo. PMC+2Actas Dermo+2
Bottom line: The trilogy—microchanneling with 1927-nm laser + targeted growth factors + LLLT—has a biologically plausible mechanism and an encouraging (but still growing) evidence base. We’re careful to set realistic expectations and often combine this with individualized medical therapy when appropriate. Customized Nutrafol oral therapy is a great adjunct to this treatment and is non-negotiable if you like the best results.
Who is a good candidate?
- Early to moderate female- or male-pattern hair loss, diffuse thinning, postpartum shedding (after medical clearance), or age-related miniaturization
- Patients who cannot or prefer not to use injections (e.g., PRP) or want a needle-free option to boost outcomes between PRP sessions
- Those seeking a physician-led approach with careful diagnosis, lab work when indicated, and a plan that may also include medications, supplements, or lifestyle changes. With functional medicine also at its core, we explore, investigate, and treat all aspects of hair loss. Lab tests are usually covered by your health insurance.
Not ideal if there is untreated scarring alopecia, total and complete hair loss (total baldness), active scalp infection, photosensitivity disorders, recent isotretinoin use, or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding (we’ll advise case-by-case). Medical evaluation with Dr. Chandra determines suitability.

Your visit at Anara Medspa (Central NJ)
- Physician consultation & scalp exam
We confirm the diagnosis (not all hair loss is the same), review medical history, and, when indicated, order labs. - Treatment session (about 30–45 minutes)
- Gentle cleansing of the scalp
- 1927-nm laser to create uniform microchannels
- Immediate application and massage of KeraFactor® serum
- Keraflex™ Duo Laser LLLT to support cellular activity
Most patients describe a warm, prickly sensation; numbing is usually unnecessary.
- Aftercare
- Expect mild pinkness/warmth for several hours.
- Avoid heavy sweating/saunas for 5 days; gentle shampoo the next day is fine.
- Follow Dr. Chandra’s home plan (topical actives/LLLT schedule) for best results.
Treatment plan & results
- Series: Commonly 3–6 sessions, every 4–6 weeks
- Maintenance: Every 3–6 months (personalized)
- When you’ll notice changes: Many patients report reduced shedding within 6–10 weeks; visible improvements in density/coverage typically evolve over 3–6 months and build with maintenance.
- Combination therapy: When medically appropriate, we may pair KeraLase with minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride (men), spironolactone (women), PRP, or targeted nutraceuticals to stack benefits and sustain gains.
Safety & side effects
Most effects are transient: temporary redness, warmth, scalp tightness/tingling, or small grid-like imprint faintly visible for 24–72 hours. Serious complications are rare when performed by trained physicians using appropriate parameters and sun protection. (Yes—sunscreen and hats matter, even for scalps!)

How KeraLase compares
Option | Anesthesia | Downtime | Evidence snapshot | Best for |
---|---|---|---|---|
KeraLase (1927-nm + growth factors + LLLT) | None | Low | Growing evidence for fractional laser + topical delivery; promising, but more RCTs needed | Needle-free boost; adjunct to meds/PRP |
PRP injections | Topical/ice | Low–moderate | Multiple RCTs; variable by kit & technique | Early-moderate AGA; those ok with injections |
LLLT alone | None | None | Multiple RCTs/meta-analyses support benefit vs. sham | Ongoing maintenance; at-home support PMC+1 |

Transparency note: Some growth-factor protocols and device/serum combinations (including KeraFactor) come from industry-sponsored development. We prioritize peer-reviewed, independent data and will always discuss where evidence is strongest—and where it is still emerging. ishrs-htforum.org

Book a physician consultation at Anara Medspa & Cosmetic Laser Center, East Brunswick, NJ to see if KeraLase hair restoration is right for you and to craft a plan tailored to your hair type, scalp health, and goals.
Is this painful?
Discomfort is mild—most patients skip numbing. You’ll feel warmth/tingling during laser passes that settles quickly. Your eyes are protected.
Will I shed more at first?
A brief “reset shed” can happen when follicles synchronize into anagen (growth cycle). It usually resolves within weeks as new hairs emerge.
Can I keep using minoxidil/finasteride?
Usually yes—and often recommended. We’ll time your topicals around treatment day for best absorption and minimal irritation. We have relationships with well-trusted compounding pharmacies that can make specific aftercare prescription-strength products for your needs.
How soon can I wash my hair?
The next day with a gentle shampoo unless Dr. Chandra advises otherwise.
Is it safe for darker skin/scalp tones?
Yes, when parameters are adjusted properly by an experienced physician. 1927 laser is non-ablative and targets superficial water, not melanin, but expertise matters.
