How does it work?
Laser energy stimulates dormant hair cells and stem cells regeneration for natural hair growth to occur. This will stimulate and accelerate hair growth as well as improve overall scalp regeneration. This treatment can be combined with injectable mesotherapy to further stimulate hair growth in the areas treated.
For best results we would recommend combining with micro-needling or injectable treatments to help stimulate hair growth further.
The treated area is expected to yield results with new hair growth within the first few months after your treatment. Of course, as with any treatment results will vary from person to person and the combination treatment of laser and injectables further enhances results.

After completing the initial series of treatments, you may move to maintenance sessions. These are typically recommended every 3-6 months, depending on how your hair responds to the treatments.
Combination treatments.
When working on hair we like to combine both fotona and other injectable treatments to ensure we are getting the best results.
At Kins we love combining treatments as it means you can achieve more impactful results. This is also of benefit when life is busy as less appointments are needed and there is only one period of downtime.
Contraindications
There are certain contraindications where Fotona HAIRestart treatment should be avoided or modified. These include:
1. Active Skin Infections or Inflammation: If you have an active infection (e.g., cold sores, bacterial infections) or inflammation (e.g., eczema, psoriasis), you should avoid Fotona HAIRestart treatment as it may worsen these conditions.
2. Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: We advise avoiding Fotona HAIRestart treatments during pregnancy due to the lack of conclusive safety data. Hormones are also still settling down post-partum and can have an impact on your skin.
3. Tanned or Sunburned Skin: Having a tan, sunburn, or any type of skin discoloration (even from tanning products) can increase the risk of complications, as the skin is more sensitive to heat-based treatments when it’s not in its normal colour.
4. Use of Photosensitising Medications: Certain medications, such as those used for acne (e.g., Accutane) or some antibiotics (e.g., tetracyclines), can make your skin more sensitive to laser treatments, increasing the risk of burns or hyperpigmentation. You should avoid Fotona HAIRestart treatment if you are taking these types of medications or consult your doctor for specific guidance.
5. History of/active skin Cancer or other Cancer: If you have active skin cancer or a history of it, particularly in the areas being treated, your eligibility for Fotona HAIRestart treatment will be discussed in clinic.
6.Endocrine disorders (uncontrolled Diabetes): Individuals with uncontrolled diabetes may have slower healing responses, which can make them more susceptible to side effects such as burns or scarring from Fotona HAIRestart treatments.
7. Autoimmune Disorders or Photosensitivity Disorders: Conditions like lupus or other autoimmune disorders may make your skin more sensitive to laser treatment, which can increase the risk of adverse effects from Fotona HAIRestart treatments.
8. Recent Chemical Peels or Laser Treatments: If you have recently undergone chemical peels or other laser treatments, your skin may be too sensitive for Fotona HAIRestart treatment. It’s advisable to wait a few weeks (as recommended by your provider) before undergoing Fotona HAIRestart treatment after such treatments.
9.Heart Disease or Pacemaker: In rare cases, people with heart conditions or a pacemaker may need to avoid Fotona HAIRestart treatments, this can be discussed in clinic.
10. Disease stimulated by light: this would include solar urticaria or photosensitive epilepsy. Fotona HAIRestart treatment can trigger these conditions. It is our aim to ensure every treatment is carried out safely and adverse reactions are avoided.
11. Connective tissue disorders: People with connective tissue disorders often have skin that is more fragile, thinner, or more prone to injury. The heat generated by Fotona HAIRestart treatment could potentially cause burns, irritation, poor healing, or other adverse effects on these sensitive skin types.
A consultation will be performed prior to any procedures ensuring all treatments are carried out safely.
