In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Jessica Weiser, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Weiser Skin MD, to shed light on one of the most overlooked yet vital parts of dermatology — the scalp. Often forgotten in the broader conversation about skin health, the scalp is one of the body’s most complex ecosystems, driving everything from follicle vitality to inflammation control. “It’s not just where your hair grows,” Dr. Weiser explains. “It’s living, breathing skin with its own microbiome and metabolism.”

Dr. Weiser takes us through the evolution of scalp science, from traditional PRP injections to the groundbreaking KeraFactor® system, a peptide- and growth-factor-based approach that precisely reactivates dormant follicles and promotes angiogenesis. She also dives into the power of red-light therapy, breaking down how dual-wavelength photobiomodulation reawakens cellular energy and circulation to fuel stronger, thicker hair.

Beyond technology, Dr. Weiser emphasizes a holistic blueprint for hair longevity — addressing hormones, nutrition, stress, and scalp inflammation as interconnected variables rather than isolated issues. “The goal isn’t overnight regrowth,” she says. “It’s rebuilding the entire scalp ecosystem for long-term strength and balance.”

This conversation reframes hair care as true skin science, not surface-level maintenance. Tune in to hear how Dr. Jessica Weiser and KeraFactor are ushering in a new era of biologically intelligent scalp therapy — where light, peptides, and precision meet to redefine the future of hair health.
