How Is Scalpmax Different From Prp?

Both ScalpMax™ and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are designed to support healthier-looking hair, but they take different approaches. PRP uses a sample of your own blood that is processed to concentrate platelets before being injected into the scalp. These platelets contain naturally occurring growth factors that may help support hair follicles and scalp health.

ScalpMax, on the other hand, is a comprehensive, non-surgical treatment that combines four complementary therapies into one protocol: SkinPen® microneedling, KeraFactorMD, KeraFlex Laser Cap therapy, and daily topical 5% minoxidil. Rather than relying on a single treatment, ScalpMax addresses hair growth support from multiple angles. SkinPen microneedling stimulates the scalp and enhances the absorption of KeraFactorMD, a serum containing PDRN, growth factors, peptides, and anti-inflammatory ingredients. The KeraFlex Laser Cap uses low-level laser light to support scalp circulation and follicle activity, while daily minoxidil helps support hair growth between treatments.

Can ScalpMax be used instead of PRP?
Depending on your individual goals and hair loss pattern, ScalpMax may be an alternative to PRP or may complement other hair restoration treatments. A consultation with a LaserAway Treatment Specialist can help determine the right approach for you.

Does ScalpMax use injections?
No. ScalpMax does not involve blood draws or injections. Instead, it combines professional microneedling, KeraFactorMD, low-level red laser light, and at-home minoxidil.

Who is a good candidate for ScalpMax?
ScalpMax is designed for individuals experiencing early to moderate hair thinning, miniaturizing follicles, mild androgenetic alopecia, mild stress-related shedding, and overall scalp health concerns.

How many ScalpMax treatments will I need?
Most patients begin with a series of six treatments spaced approximately four weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months as recommended by their provider.
