Our complete hair and scalp system at Marmur Medical offers a thoughtful, multi-step approach to support thinning hair and a healthier scalp, using in-office treatments and at-home care customized to your unique needs. This system, designed by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ellen Marmur and her team in New York City, complements your lifestyle while tackling your thinning from multiple angles.
What Makes Our Hair and Scalp System Different?
At Marmur Medical, hair and scalp wellness are integrated into a broader skin preservation and rejuvenation philosophy rather than treated as an isolated concern. Our team reviews your overall skin, scalp, and wellness profile to design a streamlined plan you can realistically follow over time.
Key elements of our system include:
- In-office procedures that support hair follicles and scalp wellness, targeted nutraceuticals to nourish hair from within
- Advanced topical and device-based therapies to optimize the scalp environment
- Ongoing monitoring and modifications to your hair respond over time
This structure allows your Marmur Medical provider to choose the most appropriate tools at each stage, from early thinning to more established hair loss, while keeping your scalp comfortable and cared for.
How Do We Start Your Hair and Scalp Plan?
Your experience starts with a detailed consultation with one of our board-certified dermatologists. During this visit, your dermatologist will review your medical history, family history, lifestyle, hair goals, and any previous treatments you have tried.
A typical consultation may include:
- Scalp and hair examination to assess density, pattern, and health
- Review of medications, hormones, stress, and nutritional factors
- Discussion of realistic goals and as well as timelines for improvement
- Customized recommendations in-office and at-home treatments
This thoughtful evaluation helps determine whether options such as KeraFactor, PRP hair rejuvenation, Nutrafol, or combination therapy best fit your overall hair and scalp system.
How Does KeraFactor Fit into a Thinning Hair Care Plan?
KeraFactor is a key part of our system for many people with thinning hair because it focuses on scalp wellness and follicle stimulation. This advanced therapy uses a Growth Factor Formula with biomimetic growth factors designed to support hair growth, root strength, and tissue repair.
KeraFactor can help:
- Stimulate dormant or weak follicles to enter a growth phase
- Strengthen roots and support a strong environmental environment.
- Encourage tissue repair in areas affected by thinning
Your KeraFactor journey often begins with KeraLase, an in-office treatment that uses a non-ablative laser to create microchannels in the scalp, enhancing the absorption of KeraFactor serum, which is activated with red light therapy. This gentle approach intends to be comfortable while allowing the serum’s growth factors and skin proteins to reach where they are needed most.
How Do In-Office KeraLase Treatments Work?
KeraLase sessions are performed by experienced dermatologists at Marmur Medical and are designed to be efficient and convenient. During your visit, your scalp is prepared, and the laser is used to create microscopic pathways that can allow the KeraFactor serum to be absorbed up to several times more effectively than with traditional topical application alone.
Typical features of a KeraLase visit include:
- Non-ablative laser treatment to create gentle micro-channels in the scalp
- Application of KeraFactor serum with growth factors and skin proteins
- Activation with red light therapy to support scalp and follicle health
- No required downtime, so you can comfortably return to daily activities
Patients often appreciate that this procedure is intended to be painless and focused on both hair and scalp wellness.
What At-Home Products Support Your Scalp Between Visits?
Our complete hair and scalp system continues at home with targeted KeraFactor products that complement your in-office care. These formulas are designed to be simple to integrate within your daily routine, supporting your scalp environment and hair strands.
Two core at-home components are:
KeraFactor Scalp Stimulating Solution
- Daily micro-dosing of the scalp between office visits
- Contains growth factors and skin proteins similar to the in-office serum
- Helps maintain progress and results between KeraLase sessions
KeraFactor Conditioning Shampoo
- Exfoliates and conditions the scalp for a cleaner environment
- Removes dirt and debris that could block serum absorption
- Supports overall restoration results with consistent use
By combining these products with in-office laser-assisted delivery, we can create a more continuous and beneficial environment for our hair and scalp.
How Does PRP Hair Rejuvenation Enhance Results?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair rejuvenation is another important part of our system, especially for patients who want to use their own plasma growth factors to support thinning areas. PRP at Marmur Medical involves concentrating platelets from a small blood draw and injecting them into the scalp.
PRP hair treatment is used to:
- Support dormant hair follicles and encourage thicker strands
- Increase blood flow in treated areas of the scalp
- Help strengthen existing hair and reduce shedding
These treatments are performed in-office by the Marmur Medical team and can be combined with other therapies such as KeraFactor, topical prescriptions, or device-based light treatments as part of a more comprehensive regimen.
Where Does Nutrafol Fit in Our System?
Nutrafol is a nutraceutical option that many of our patients incorporate into their hair and scalp regimen. It is designed to support hair thickness and scalp coverage by addressing common external factors that can contribute to thinning, such as stress, hormones, and aging.
Nutrafol may be appropriate if you:
- Notice more shedding hair in the shower or on your brush
- Are in the early-to-moderate stages of thinning
- Prefer a non-drug approach or are not a candidate for certain prescriptions
- Want to support other in-office hair rejuvenation treatments
At Marmur Medical, Nutrafol is not used alone but as part of a comprehensive method that also includes PRP, KeraFactor, light therapy, and targeted at-home scalp care.
What Device-Based and Topical Therapies Support Scalp Wellness?
In addition to KeraLase and PRP, our expert dermatologists may recommend other technologies or topical options to round out your hair and scalp system. These choices are tailored during your consultation to align with your hair pattern, scalp sensitivity, and daily habits.
Potential supportive therapies can include:
- Low-level light or laser treatments gently support follicles
- Topical prescriptions for scalp care hair support when appropriate
- Home-based routines that enhance scalp comfort
By combining internal, topical, and device-based options, your provider can create a cohesive plan that works with your schedule and long-term goals.

What Results and Timelines Can You Expect?
Your results will depend on your unique hair concerns, the selected treatment combination, and your regular adherence. Many patients appreciate that our system is built with holistic timelines in mind. For example, people often begin to see early signs of thicker hair and a healthier-feeling scalp from KeraFactor-based treatments in about three to four months, with more complete changes typically developing over six to twelve months of steady care.
Across the full system, your provider may outline:
- Short-term goals, such as creating a calmer, healthier scalp environment
- Medium-term goals, like noticing improved texture and coverage
- Longer-term goals, including maintaining gains and refining your regimen
Throughout this process, follow-up visits at Marmur Medical help your team track progress, fine-tune your plan, and keep treatments aligned with how your hair and scalp respond.
