Hair loss goes beyond how it affects our appearance. Whether brought on by effects of medication, aging, or genetics (androgenetic alopecia), pattern hair loss can cause social anxiety in sufferers.
You lose confidence, which in turn makes you hesitant to go out in public. Even in small social settings, you still find yourself trying to always cover your head because you’re self-conscious about your thinning hair.
It’s an emotional toll that you don’t deserve to endure.
At Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics, we understand. That’s why we’ve brought in the amazing GetHairMD system for hair restoration in Leawood.
Instead of the sometimes painful, invasive procedures of the past, GetHairMD has created a fully rounded, FDA-cleared hair restoration program that’s pain free.

We are the only certified, exclusive provider of the GetHairMD program in the Kansas City area. Regain is ready to help you reclaim your hair—and your life.
An Introduction to GetHairMD
The numbers don’t lie: 50% of all women suffer hair loss, as do more than 50% of all men. That’s more than 80 million people in the US alone.
The goal of GetHairMD is to provide these patients with hair loss solutions that create the healthiest environment for their scalp. This can stop further loss, improve hair health, and regrow hair in areas where loss has already occurred.
Previous Hair Restoration Approaches
Hair loss changes how you look and how you can feel about those looks. Hair restoration techniques have changed too. GetHairMD’s advanced, painless, noninvasive system elevates your experience, making the process just as enjoyable as your results.
Hair Grafts
This expensive surgery requires the creation of plug grafts, scalp reductions, and transposition flaps. These are surgically taken from one area of healthy growing scalp hair, and then implanted into the skin where hair loss has occurred.
Sometimes called “hair plugs,” these grafts require scalpels, sutures and/or staples, and long downtimes for healing. They can also leave scarring where the grafts were removed. Side effects from this surgical procedure can include:
- Pain
- Infection
- Temporary or permanent scalp numbness
- Telogen effluvium
- Epidermal cysts and ingrown hair
- Edema
- Folliculitis
- Allergic reactions to lignocaine
- Scalp cellulitis
Growth Factor Injections
Though still a valuable and effective nonsurgical choice for hair restoration in Leawood and across the metro, the multiple injections required to place the extracted growth factor plasma can be an uncomfortable experience.
GetHairMD Works in 3 Parts
In Leawood, Lenexa, and all across Kansas City, hair loss sufferers now have a choice for nonsurgical and noninvasive hair restoration. The GetHairMD system delivers a 3-pronged approach to restoring hair growth in men and women:
- In-office treatments
- Personalized prescription
- At-home care
GetHairMD’s suite of noninvasive therapies promote hair growth from the follicle level, from a nutritional aspect, and through enhanced at-home care that you can do yourself, for yourself.

It Starts with a Consultation
Your consultation for hair restoration in Leawood is free. Contact us to schedule it, and let’s talk about your hair loss, medical history, and any hair restoratives you’ve already tried.
We’ll also examine your scalp to see where the hair loss occurs, and assess the general health of your skin. If you’re a good candidate for GetHairMD’s system and you’d like to start treatments, we’ll take a cheek swab for genomic testing which will let us know exactly what products work specifically for your body.
Preparing for Success
As part of your GetHairMD hair therapy, we will use an optimized hair growth serum during your in-office sessions, and you’ll be prescribed supportive medical-grade hair products and nutritional supplements for your at-home care.
To make sure these products provide optimal results, you’ll undergo a simple genomic swab test. This sample will be sent to the GetHairMD labs for analysis. Once we receive your full report, we will review your results to help you understand what your body can and cannot assimilate.
Tracking Your Progress
The GetHairMD system uses the cutting-edge HairMetrix photo analysis system to capture your baseline hair loss at the beginning of your journey and again at 6 months to document the improvement.
These diagnostic images focus on the hair follicles themselves, comparing both follicle and scalp health as well as hair density and diameter. This helps us pinpoint where things are going right and what could use an adjustment to achieve optimal results.
You’ll see where new hair is growing, how many new hairs per measurement area, and the percentage of growth increase.
Part 1: Your GetHairMD Sessions
When you come in for GetHairMD hair restoration in Leawood, you’ll discover that the treatments not only deliver painless rejuvenation, they’re also relaxing.
The Clinical Hair Growth Laser
This effective red light emission system rejuvenates cells in the scalp, including hair follicles. This device consists of 4 small panels that we’ll lower to surround your scalp.
These laser panels contain a series of diodes that focus red light energy outward. The uniform pattern of the lasers crisscrosses the beams across your scalp for 100% saturation.
How the Laser Works
Through this process of photobiostimulation, the red light produced by the diodes increases production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that provides energy to the cells in living organisms. ATP supports regrowth, including:
- Energizing and repairing weakened follicles
- Increasing blood microcirculation
- Improving cellular nutrient acquisition
- Enhancing oxygen uptake
- Increasing calcium ion mobilization (necessary for cell function)
- Decreasing follicular inflammation
For hormonal hair loss, GetHairMD’s laser therapy raises rates of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) removal. DHT is a hormone that—when overabundant—can decrease nutrients and blood flow to the hair follicles. In this condition, the follicles produce smaller and finer hair, contributing to pattern hair loss.
Our laser energy penetrates the skin and gets absorbed by the follicles. Your body naturally begins the healing process, reactivating those follicles so that your hair restoration in Leawood can start growing normal, thicker, full-sized hair.
FDA Cleared for Safety and Efficacy
The class II GetHairMD laser light dispersion device has been FDA-cleared for use on both women and men. The device emits a 650 nm wavelength, which is proven to stimulate hair growth and improve the overall texture of skin.
Our medical-grade laser diodes deliver proprietary beam dispersion for full scalp coverage. Each session lasts just 20 minutes, making your appointments both effective and efficient.
Laser Treatment Schedule
When you enroll in the GetHairMD program, you’ll come to Regain for your laser treatments and to measure your progress. You can expect:
- 2 appointments/week for the first 3 months
- 1 appointment/week for the second 3 months
- 2 appointments/month for the next 6 months
We also have a 6 month program for those with less significant hair loss.
Follicular Infusion Technology
GetHairMD’s Follicular Infusion System uses a 2-step method to drive the growth activator serum deep into the hair follicle bulb. This noninvasive therapy only requires one 20-minute treatment per month.
Previous iterations of growth factors have to be manually injected for best efficacy. The GetHairMD system utilizes a painless, injection-free system to deliver our specialized growth factors where they can help jumpstart hair growth.
Iontophoresis Process
Our needleless infusion technology sends gentle, controlled electrical pulses into the skin to drive the growth factor serum more deeply into dermal layers. The serum penetrates via your skin’s natural water-based channels, allowing macro- and micro-molecules to migrate directly through the skin.
The Hair Growth Serum
GetHairMD’s proprietary serum formulation for hair restoration in Leawood combines the best in bothlassic and innovative ingredients, to:
- Reverse the appearance of hair loss
- Revitalize hair follicles
- Improve scalp health
- Enhance hair anchoring
- Replenish strand density, thickness, and shine

Part 2: At-Home Care
Using your genetic information, the GetHairMD lab compares this data to known responses to specific drugs. These pharmacogenomic findings help to ensure that the lab formulates a hair growth serum to your body’s specifications and what will work best for you.
Medical-Grade Wet Line Products
Because our hair restoration treatments utilize medical-grade products, a prescription is necessary. Applying your genomic results, the GetHairMD pharmacy will recommend a prescription based on these results. When you approve, a prescription will be sent and the GetHairMD pharmacy will fill it, matching your exact needs.
GetHairMD ships the prescription directly to your home, where you can begin the 3rd leg of your hair restoration in Leawood.
Nutritional Supplements
Our nutritional supplement gummies contain specific amounts of 3 vitamins known to support strong, healthy hair.
Biotin (B)
Promotes keratin production—the protein that makes up hair—and supports scalp cellular turnover.
Folic Acid (B-9)
Encourages healthy cell growth, supporting scalp health along with the reactivation of hair follicles.
Vitamin C
Promotes collagen production, which strengthens hair. Vitamin C also suppresses DHT formation, a hormone that can shrink follicles and cause inadequate hair growth.
Results Arrive in 3 Stages
You’ll see results from your hair restoration in Leawood start to show in stages as your body begins to heal itself. Some patients have been through all 3 stages within the first 2 to 3 months. However, most clients see hair regrowth around the 6-month mark, though they’ve been experiencing Stage 1 and Stage 2 benefits along the way.
Stage 1: Hair Loss Prevention
As your 3-fold treatment process stabilizes your current hair, it reduces the shedding and thinning that underpins pattern baldness.
Stage 2: Hair Quality Improvement
As your current hair grows, you’ll see it become thicker and fuller. The increase in health also renews the shine for your hair.
Stage 3: Hair Regrowth
Those hairs that were being choked start to regrow. Now you start to see new, thick, full-sized hairs along with the renewed health of your current hair.
Optional Addition: At-Home Laser Therapy
GetHairMD’s FDA-cleared “Laser Cap” lets you perform at-home red-light laser therapy to accelerate the therapeutic effects of your treatment.
This cap, which looks like a common “ball cap,” emits a gentler energy than our clinical laser. You’ll wear it 3 times per week for 30 minutes per session. This gives you at-home maintenance during all 3 phases of your treatment plan.
Customize Your GetHairMD Bundle
One of the amazing qualities of the GetHairMD for hair restoration in Leawood is its flexibility as a program. It’s not a “one-size-fits-all” program. Instead, the multimodal treatment options allow the program to be completely personalized to your hair restoration needs.
Your Regain provider will help you navigate the options, understand what they do, and put together a combination that helps you get your hair back where you want it.
