- What Is FoLix
A Breakthrough in Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatment. Now Available in London.
The Lumenis FoLix is not a red light cap or a home device. It is a fractional laser system, and the first of its kind to receive Health Canada clearance specifically for hair loss treatment.
FoLix uses non-ablative laser energy to create microscopic zones of controlled thermal stimulation in the scalp. This activates the body’s own healing response, increasing blood flow, triggering cytokine activity, and encouraging dormant follicles back into an active growth phase.
Key facts about FoLix:
- The first and only Health Canada cleared fractional laser,designed specifically for hair loss
- Clinically proven to increase hair count and improve scalp hair appearance
- Suitable for both men and women
- No needles, no anesthesia, no downtime
- Sessions take approximately 30 minutes
- Available exclusively in London, Ontario at Kontour Medical Aesthetics
- How FoLix Works
What FoLix Actually Does to Your Scalp
Most non-surgical hair treatments work by adding something to the scalp: growth factors, plasma, or medication. FoLix works by prompting your scalp to respond on its own.
The laser delivers non-ablative energy in a fractional pattern, which means it treats tiny zones of tissue and leaves the skin between them untouched. Those micro-zones trigger the body’s natural repair response in the treated area. That response supports blood flow to the follicle and encourages dormant follicles back into an active growth phase.
Because the laser is non-ablative, the surface of the scalp stays intact. Most patients go straight back to work afterward.
- The laser creates microscopic thermal zones in the scalp, triggering a controlled healing response
- Blood flow increases to the treated follicles, delivering more oxygen and nutrients
- Cytokine activity is stimulated, which plays a role in the signaling that drives follicle function
- Dormant follicles are encouraged to re-enter the active growth phase
- Over time, this translates to increased hair count, improved density, and better scalp health
The treatment does not damage the surrounding tissue or the hair itself. It is precise, targeted, and built around the body’s own regenerative capacity.

FoLix Treatment Areas
Where FoLix Can Help
FoLix is designed for targeted treatment of the specific areas where hair loss tends to be most visible and most distressing.
During your consultation, we will assess your hair loss pattern and identify the areas most likely to respond to treatment. Not every area of concern is appropriate for every patient, which is why that assessment matters before any treatment begins. Treatment can be directed to:
Hairline Thinning
A receding or thinning hairline
FoLix precisely targets the hairline to stimulate dormant follicles and support fuller, healthier regrowth along the front of the scalp.
Temple Thinning or Recession
Laser Treatment for Temple Hair Loss
Temple recession is one of the earliest and most visible signs of hair loss. FoLix delivers targeted laser energy to reactivate follicles in this delicate area.
Widening Part Line
Laser Hair Restoration for Thinning Parts
A widening part is one of the most common concerns among women experiencing hair loss. FoLix targets the scalp along the part line to improve density where it shows most.
Crown Thinning or Sparse Patches
Laser Treatment for Crown Thinning
FoLix reaches the follicles directly, stimulating the natural growth response in one of the most commonly affected areas.
Overall Reduced Density
Laser Hair Restoration for Thinning Hair
For patients experiencing diffuse thinning across the scalp, FoLix can be applied broadly to improve overall hair density and restore a fuller appearance over time.
- What to Expect
The FoLix Laser Hair Treatment Process
One of the most significant practical advantages of FoLix is how little it asks of you. There is no preparation, no recovery, and no disruption to your day.
Here is what a typical FoLix laser hair treatment course looks like at Kontour:
- Consultation first. Every FoLix patient starts with a hair loss assessment. We look at your scalp, your pattern of loss, your history, and your health factors. FoLix suits some patients very well and is a poor fit for others, and the only way to know which applies to you is an assessment.
- The session. Treatment takes roughly 30 minutes. Most patients describe a mild warm sensation as the laser passes over the scalp.
- Most patients describe the sensation as mild warmth during treatment, with no significant discomfort
- Afterward. There is no downtime and no dressing. You leave and carry on with your day.
- A standard treatment course involves four to six sessions spaced approximately four weeks apart
- The series. FoLix is generally performed as a series of monthly sessions, usually four to six, followed by periodic maintenance. Your exact plan depends on your pattern of hair loss and how you respond, and we will set that out for you at your consultation.
- Most patients begin noticing changes within a few months, with more significant improvements continuing to develop over the course of treatment
Individual results vary. Hair growth is a slow biological process, so meaningful change takes months rather than weeks.
- Ideal Candidates
Is Laser Hair Treatment Right for You?
FoLix tends to suit patients who:
- Are in the early or moderate stages of thinning rather than advanced loss
- Want a treatment with no needles and no recovery time
- Cannot fit visible downtime into a working week
- Prefer to avoid ongoing medication
- Are not candidates for blood-based treatment, or would rather not go that route
Patients with long-established, advanced hair loss and very few remaining follicles usually see less from FoLix, because the treatment works by stimulating follicles that are still present. We will say so plainly at your consultation rather than sell you a series that is unlikely to help.
If FoLix is not the right fit, PRP hair restoration and microneedling hair restoration are the other two options we offer, and some patients do best with a combination. All three sit under our hair loss treatments program.

Frequently Asked Questions About FoLix Laser Hair Restoration
What is the Lumenis FoLix?
FoLix is a non-ablative fractional laser system designed specifically for hair loss treatment. It is the first laser of its kind to receive FDA clearance for this use. It works by delivering controlled laser energy to the scalp to stimulate dormant follicles, increase blood flow, and support the body’s natural hair growth processes.
Is FoLix available in London, Ontario?
Yes. Kontour Medical Aesthetics is currently the only clinic in London, Ontario offering the Lumenis FoLix laser hair restoration system.
How many FoLix sessions will I need?
Most patients undergo a course of four to six sessions, spaced approximately four weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may be recommended after the initial course. The exact number depends on your individual hair loss presentation and how your scalp responds to treatment, which we assess at your consultation.
Does FoLix hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as mild warmth during the session. The FoliCool tip built into the handpiece provides continuous cooling throughout treatment, which helps keep the experience comfortable. No anesthesia is required.
Is there any downtime after FoLix?
No. One of the practical advantages of FoLix is that there is no recovery period. You can return to your normal daily activities, including work and exercise, immediately following a session.
How soon will I see results from FoLix?
Hair growth is a gradual process, and results from FoLix develop over time. Most patients begin noticing changes within a few months of starting treatment, with continued improvement developing across the course of sessions. We will set clear, realistic expectations during your consultation.
Can FoLix be combined with PRP or other hair loss treatments?
Yes, and in some cases a combination approach may be recommended. FoLix, PRP, and regenerative microneedling with exosomes and growth factors can complement each other, targeting hair loss through different mechanisms. Whether a combined plan makes sense for you will be determined at your consultation.
Is FoLix suitable for women?
Yes. FoLix is designed for both men and women and is particularly well-suited to female hair loss patterns, including diffuse thinning, widening part lines, and temple recession.
What is the difference between FoLix and a red light therapy cap?
They are not the same thing. Red light therapy caps are consumer devices that deliver low-level light across the scalp in a broad, unfocused way. FoLix is a medical-grade fractional laser that delivers precise, controlled energy to targeted areas of the scalp, triggering a significantly stronger and more specific cellular response. It is a clinical treatment that requires trained medical professionals to administer safely.
How do I know if FoLix is right for me?
That is determined at your consultation. We assess your hair loss pattern, your scalp health, your medical history, and your goals before recommending any treatment. FoLix is not appropriate for every patient, and we will tell you honestly whether it is likely to make a meaningful difference in your situation.
