August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month: Restore Confidence with Advanced Hair Restoration at Allure Med Spa
Hair loss affects millions of men and women each year, impacting not only appearance but self-esteem. That’s why August—National Hair Loss Awareness Month—is the perfect time to explore modern, effective solutions for thinning hair. At Allure Med Spa in Scarborough, Maine, we offer non-surgical, science-backed treatments that target hair loss at its root, helping you achieve thicker, healthier hair naturally.
One of our most powerful and patient-loved solutions is the Cynosure Ultra laser paired with KeraFactor® serum. The Ultra laser delivers precise, controlled energy to the scalp, creating thousands of microchannels in the skin. These channels allow the KeraFactor serum—loaded with seven synthetic growth factors and skin proteins—to penetrate deeper into the scalp where it can activate dormant follicles. KeraFactor has been shown in clinical studies to increase scalp vascularity and boost hair density by up to 64% after a series of treatments. This treatment is comfortable, fast, and requires no downtime, making it a game-changer for anyone looking to restore fullness without surgery or pills.
Many people don’t realize how complex hair loss really is. It can stem from genetics, hormonal shifts (especially after pregnancy or during menopause), autoimmune conditions, inflammation, stress, and even overuse of tight hairstyles. That’s why a multifactorial treatment approach is often necessary. At Allure, we offer regenerative injectables like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin), and PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) to further stimulate the follicles and improve blood flow to the scalp.
So what’s the difference? PRP is concentrated plasma with a high level of platelets, which release growth factors to help heal and stimulate follicles. PRF is a next-generation version that includes fibrin (a protein matrix) which allows for a slower, more sustained release of growth factors over time. PDGF, on the other hand, is a purified version of one of the key growth factors found in PRP/PRF. It’s specifically engineered to target and repair the tissue around damaged hair follicles, encouraging stronger, longer-lasting hair growth. It’s especially helpful for people with advanced thinning or sluggish results from traditional PRP treatments.
Hair loss doesn’t have to be inevitable—and it certainly doesn’t have to be permanent. Whether you’re just starting to see some shedding, or you’ve tried everything with no luck, our team will assess your scalp health and build a custom plan to help you get your confidence back.

FAQs: Hair Restoration at Allure Med Spa
How many treatments are needed with the Cynosure Ultra + KeraFactor system to see results?
Most clients begin to notice improvement in hair texture and density after just 3–4 treatments, but optimal results typically require a series of 6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every few months can help sustain long-term results, especially for ongoing hair loss conditions.
What’s the difference between PRP, PRF, and PDGF for hair restoration?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are both derived from your own blood and contain natural growth factors that stimulate hair follicles. PRF has a fibrin matrix that allows for slower, longer-lasting release of those growth factors. PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) is a lab-isolated growth factor that targets follicular repair more directly and is often used for people who want faster or more aggressive stimulation in areas of advanced thinning.
Is the Ultra laser with KeraFactor safe for all skin types?
Yes, the Cynosure Ultra laser is non-ablative and safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types. The laser energy is precisely controlled to avoid damage while creating microchannels that enhance KeraFactor absorption. There’s minimal discomfort and no downtime—making it an ideal option for anyone seeking a non-invasive treatment.
What causes hair loss and how do I know which treatment is right for me?
Hair loss can result from genetics, hormonal changes, autoimmune disorders, poor circulation, chronic inflammation, or stress. The best way to determine the right treatment is through a professional scalp evaluation. At Allure Med Spa, we tailor your hair restoration plan based on your individual hair loss pattern, medical history, and treatment goals—often combining therapies like Ultra + KeraFactor, PRP/PRF, or PDGF for best results.
