Thicker, Healthier Hair, Without Surgery
Hair Restoration in Staten Island
Support fuller, healthier-looking hair with KeraLase™, a needle-free treatment that combines the Lutronic ULTRA laser with KeraFactor® topical serum. Treatment sessions are brief, with little to no downtime.



Non-Surgical Hair Restoration with KeraLase™
Thinning hair rarely happens overnight. It often starts with a wider part, a little more scalp at the crown, or a ponytail that feels thinner than it used to. Genetics, hormonal changes, stress, and age all play a role. For both men and women, it can quietly chip away at confidence.
KeraLase is a non-surgical hair restoration treatment designed to support the scalp and the follicles that are still there. It combines two steps in one visit. First, the Lutronic ULTRA laser creates tiny channels in the scalp. Then a growth factor serum called KeraFactor is massaged in, where it can absorb more deeply than it would on its own.
The ULTRA (officially the LaseMD Ultra, by Cynosure Lutronic) is one of The Formula’s signature technologies, available at all of our locations. It is the same 1927nm laser we use for skin resurfacing, customized for the scalp.
At our Staten Island location, treatments are customized to each patient’s needs and goals under the direction of Nicole Frontera, FNP.
Nicole is a family nurse practitioner with more than a decade in aesthetic medicine. She is also a former clinical nurse educator for Cynosure, one of the largest laser companies in the country. That depth of device knowledge lets us set every treatment with care.
How KeraLase Works
1927nm Laser Microchannels
The ULTRA delivers gentle, non-ablative laser energy to the scalp. It creates thousands of tiny channels without needles or surgical incision.
Growth Factor Serum
KeraFactor is a topical serum made with proteins and growth factors that support scalp health and the hair growth cycle.
Better Absorption
The microchannels help the serum absorb more deeply into the scalp than it would on its own.
Results That Build
Over a series of sessions, improvements develop gradually over several months. The degree of improvement and timing vary depending on the cause of thinning and your individual response.
Why Choose Hair Restoration at The Formula
No injections, no incisions, and no blood draw. KeraLase is a gentle option for patients who want to support their hair without surgery.
Most sessions take about 15 to 30 minutes. You can return to work and your normal routine right away.
Treatments are performed by our trained clinical team and customized under the clinical direction of Nicole Frontera, FNP, whose background as a former Cynosure clinical nurse educator gives The Formula extensive experience with energy-based aesthetic technologies.

Is Hair Restoration Right for You?
KeraLase works best for men and women with early to moderate thinning, where follicles are still active. Good candidates often:
- Notice a wider part, thinning crown, or receding hairline
- Feel their hair is finer or less full than it used to be
- Want a needle-free, non-surgical option
- Have tried at-home products and want a stronger in-office treatment
- Want to combine hair restoration with other treatments
KeraLase may not be appropriate if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have an active scalp infection, rash, or open wound
- Have a history of skin cancer on the scalp
- Have a known allergy to any ingredient in the serum
- Have areas of complete baldness where follicles are no longer active
Sudden, patchy, or rapid hair loss can have a medical cause. We review your health history at consultation and may recommend a medical evaluation before treatment.
What to Expect
1. Consultation and Scalp Assessment
We look closely at your scalp and hair, talk about your history and goals, and decide whether KeraLase alone or a combination plan is the best fit.
2. Preparation
We part and prepare the treatment area.
3. Laser Treatment
We pass the ULTRA handpiece over the thinning areas. You will feel warmth and a light prickling sensation.
4. Growth Factor Application
The KeraFactor serum is massaged into the treated areas while the microchannels are open.
5. After Your Visit
Your scalp may look slightly pink or feel warm for a short time. Most patients return to their normal routine right away.
Most sessions take about 15 to 30 minutes, so treatment fits easily into a lunch break or a busy day.
Results, Sessions, and Aftercare
Hair restoration is gradual. Most patients are treated in an initial series of six sessions, spaced a month apart. Many notice a healthier scalp and less shedding first. Fuller-looking hair builds over the following months. Because hair loss is ongoing, a maintenance session every 3 to 6 months may be recommended to help support your results. We will build a plan based on your hair and goals.
Aftercare Essentials
- Wait until the next day to wash your hair
- Skip hair dye, chemical treatments, and heavy styling products for a few days, or as directed
- Avoid heavy sweating and hot tubs for the rest of the day
- Protect your scalp from direct sun
- Use any recommended at-home scalp products as directed
Pairs well with:
- PRP to add your body’s own growth factors to your hair restoration plan
- Bioidentical Hormone Therapy when hormonal changes play a role in thinning
- Laser Skin Resurfacing with the ULTRA to brighten and refresh the skin with the same device
