At Advanced Dermatology Care, we now offer the Lumenis FoLix™ — the first and only FDA-cleared fractional laser system designed specifically for hair restoration. It’s a safe, non-invasive treatment that works with your body’s own processes to stimulate hair follicles and support real, lasting regrowth — no surgery, no injections, no downtime.
Whether you’re noticing early thinning or more significant hair loss, our dermatology team will evaluate your scalp and create a treatment plan tailored to your goals. We serve patients throughout Los Alamitos, Agoura Hills, and surrounding Southern California communities.
Book OnlineWhat Is the Lumenis FoLix™?
The Lumenis FoLix™ is a non-ablative fractional laser system built exclusively for hair loss treatment. It’s the first device of its kind to receive FDA clearance for this use, and it represents a meaningful step forward for patients who want results without resorting to medications, transplants, or topical chemicals.
FoLix works by delivering precise pulses of fractional laser energy into the scalp. This targeted energy promotes dermal coagulation, which triggers the body’s natural healing response — increasing blood circulation, activating growth factors and cytokines, and stimulating dormant hair follicles back into the active growth phase. The result over a series of monthly sessions is improved hair density, thickness, and overall scalp health.
Treatments are comfortable, take approximately 30 minutes per session, and require no recovery period. Patients can return to their normal routine immediately after each visit.
Book OnlineWho Is a Good Candidate?
The Lumenis FoLix™ is FDA-cleared for adult men and women with Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV who are experiencing hair thinning or loss and prefer a non-surgical approach. It is well-suited for patients dealing with:
- Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss)
- Diffuse thinning across the scalp
- Receding hairlines in early to moderate stages
- Hair loss that has not responded well to topical treatments
- Those who want to complement or maintain results from other hair restoration approaches
During your consultation at Advanced Dermatology Care, our providers will assess your hair loss pattern and medical history to confirm whether FoLix laser therapy is a good fit for you.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each FoLix session at our Los Alamitos or Agoura Hills office takes about 30 minutes. Here’s a general overview of what the treatment involves:
- Consultation & Assessment: Your provider will examine your scalp, discuss your hair loss history, and map out a personalized treatment plan.
- Scalp Preparation: The treatment area is prepared for the laser. No numbing cream or anesthesia is required.
- Laser Treatment: The FoLix handpiece is passed over the scalp, delivering controlled fractional laser energy. Built-in cooling technology keeps the process comfortable throughout.
- Post-Treatment: No recovery time is needed. You can go about your day immediately after leaving our office.
Most patients complete a series of 4 to 6 monthly sessions to achieve optimal results. Some patients begin noticing improvements in scalp appearance and hair texture within the first few sessions, with more significant density improvements visible after completing the full treatment plan.

Book OnlineFrequently Asked Questions
What is the Lumenis FoLix™ and how does it restore hair?
The Lumenis FoLix™ is the first and only FDA-cleared non-ablative fractional laser system designed specifically for hair loss treatment. It delivers targeted laser energy into the scalp, which triggers dermal coagulation and activates your body’s natural healing response. This process improves blood circulation to hair follicles, stimulates growth factors and cytokines, and encourages dormant follicles to re-enter the active growth cycle — resulting in improved hair density and thickness over time.
Is the FoLix laser treatment painful?
Most patients describe the treatment as warm or mildly tingly, but not painful. The FoLix system includes built-in continuous cooling technology to keep the scalp comfortable throughout the session. No anesthesia or numbing cream is required, and the vast majority of patients tolerate the procedure very well.
How many sessions will I need?
Clinical results are typically achieved with a series of 4 to 6 monthly sessions. The exact number will depend on your degree of hair loss, your hair growth patterns, and how your scalp responds to treatment. During your consultation at Advanced Dermatology Care, our providers will give you a clearer estimate based on your individual situation.
Is there any downtime after a FoLix treatment?
No. FoLix is a non-invasive procedure with no downtime. You can return to work, exercise, and normal daily activities immediately after your appointment. Sessions take approximately 30 minutes, making them easy to schedule without disrupting your day.
Who is a good candidate for laser hair restoration with FoLix?
The FoLix laser is FDA-cleared for adult men and women with Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV experiencing hair thinning or loss. It is particularly well-suited for patients with androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss) or diffuse thinning who prefer a non-surgical, chemical-free approach. A consultation with our dermatology team will help determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.
When will I start to see results?
Hair growth is a gradual process, and results vary from patient to patient. Some patients notice improvements in scalp texture and hair appearance within the first few sessions. More measurable increases in hair density are typically visible after completing the full treatment series. Continued improvements may occur in the months following your last session as the hair growth cycle progresses.
Can FoLix be combined with other hair loss treatments?
In many cases, yes. Laser hair restoration can complement other approaches such as topical treatments or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Our dermatologists will review your current regimen and advise whether combining treatments makes sense for your specific type and stage of hair loss.
Does the FoLix laser work for both men and women?
Yes. The Lumenis FoLix™ is cleared for both adult men and women. Hair loss affects people of all genders, and FoLix is designed to address androgenetic alopecia and diffuse thinning in both. Our team at Advanced Dermatology Care will tailor your treatment approach based on your unique hair loss pattern regardless of gender.
