Grow More. No Surgery Required.
Ready to reclaim your hair?
Hair thinning affects more than 85% of men and 50% of women at some point in their lives. Whether you’re noticing a receding hairline, diffuse thinning, or post-partum shedding, FoLix offers a scientifically backed solution that works with your body, not against it.
Using precision laser energy, FoLix triggers the scalp’s natural repair mechanisms to reawaken dormant follicles, increase blood flow, and promote real, measurable hair growth, with no needles, no chemicals, and zero downtime.
FoLix by Lumenis works by delivering non-ablative fractional laser energy to the scalp. “Non-ablative” means the outer skin layer is left completely intact, there are no open wounds, no raw skin, and nothing that requires healing time. “Fractional” means the laser creates thousands of tiny, precisely controlled microthermal treatment zones beneath the surface rather than blanketing the entire area.
These micro-zones trigger the body’s natural inflammatory-repair response. Blood flow to the scalp increases. Signaling molecules called cytokines become active. Key hair-growth pathways, including the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) pathway and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, are activated, nudging follicles from a resting phase back into the active anagen (growth) phase.
The result: over a series of sessions you can expect increased hair count, denser follicular units per cm², and a visibly fuller, healthier scalp, all without any chemicals entering your bloodstream, any needles, or any surgery.
Clinical studies with over 120 patients confirm significant improvements in hair count and scalp hair appearance at one-month and three-month follow-ups after the final treatment session. FoLix was also recognized with the 2025 Medical Device Network Hair Loss Technology Innovation Award.
Not everyone is a candidate. FoLix is designed for adults with Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV. It is most effective for individuals in the early-to-mid stages of hair loss when follicles are still viable. FoLix is not appropriate for patients with active scalp infections, certain chronic skin conditions, or a personal or concurrent history of cancer. Always consult with our providers before beginning treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many FoLix sessions will I need?
At Bellamah Aesthetics in Missoula, most patients begin with a series of 4–6 monthly sessions spaced approximately four weeks apart. After completing the initial series, maintenance sessions every 4–6 months help sustain and even enhance your results over time. Hair growth cycles are long, so consistency is key — the full benefit builds progressively across your treatment plan.
When will I start seeing results?
Early signs, such as reduced shedding and the appearance of fine new hairs, can emerge during the initial treatment series. More noticeable improvements in hair density and scalp fullness are typically visible at your one-month and three-month follow-up appointments after completing the full course. Because hair grows slowly, patience and commitment to the full protocol are essential for optimal outcomes.
Does FoLix hurt? Is there any downtime?
FoLix is FDA-cleared for adult men and women with Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV who are experiencing hair loss. It works best for those in the early-to-middle stages of thinning, when follicles are still present but underperforming. Common candidates include women with diffuse thinning, post-partum or post-menopausal hair loss, and men with early-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia. FoLix is not appropriate for patients with active scalp infections, certain chronic skin diseases, or a history of skin cancer. A consultation with our team will determine if it’s right for you.
Who is a good candidate for FoLix?
FoLix requires no anesthesia or numbing. The FoLiCool™ applicator tip provides continuous cooling throughout the session to maximize comfort. Most patients describe the experience as a gentle warmth or mild prickling, similar to a scalp massage. There is zero downtime: you walk out of the office and resume your full daily routine immediately.
Can FoLix be combined with other hair loss treatments?
Many patients use FoLix as a standalone treatment precisely because it avoids medications and chemicals. However, for some individuals it can be used alongside minoxidil or other topical treatments under provider guidance to create a comprehensive approach. Your Bellamah Aesthetics provider will discuss the best combination strategy for your specific goals and history during your consultation.
