The Root Method
The new standard for hair rejuvenation
A non invasive, three step protocol rooted in science. Exclusively at The Hair Lab. Individual results vary.
Protocol Compliance NoteThe FoLix Laser (Step 1) is an independently FDA-cleared standalone protocol (510(k)). The TED System (Step 3) is an FDA-registered Class I medical device, and does not require 510(k) premarket clearance. The Hair Lab Proprietary Hair Serum (Step 2) is a topical cosmetic serum applied between Steps 1 and 3, developed independently of any device manufacturer. The Root Method™ is the exclusive sequence, available only at The Hair Lab, Lakeway, Texas.
FoLix Laser
FoLix Laser
The FoLix Laser is a standalone FDA-cleared protocol: the first non-ablative fractional laser cleared for aesthetic hair rejuvenation. Operating at 1565 nm, FoLix creates microscopic thermal zones (MTZs) beneath the skin while the stratum corneum remains intact, activating the scalp’s natural healing response and promoting follicle entry into the Anagen growth phase. In The Root Method™, it becomes Step 1: the activation layer that primes the scalp for everything that follows.
Proprietary Hair Serum
The Hair Lab Serum
Immediately following the FoLix activation, The Hair Lab Proprietary Hair Serum is applied topically to the freshly activated scalp. What makes this serum different is not simply what it is. It is who we are in relation to it. The Hair Lab holds an ownership position in the laboratory behind this serum. We are not a client of this science. We are partners in creating it. That relationship, forged at the founding level, is a distinction no distribution agreement can replicate.

Alma TED
Alma TED
The Alma TED System is an FDA-registered Class I medical device, paired with its own manufacturer-proprietary TED+ Serum. Using low-frequency acoustic sound waves combined with air pressure, the system temporarily enhances transepidermal absorption, allowing the TED+ Serum to reach the scalp without needles, incisions, or disruption to the skin. This patented delivery mechanism (US Patent No. 10,238,849 B2) is supported by published research in ultrasound-assisted transdermal delivery. The experience feels like a gentle, warm scalp massage. No discomfort. No downtime.
