Name Ingredients:
Standardized scalp massaging is a non-invasive technique that has a potential role in promoting hair health and mitigating hair loss. Advocates believe that regular and standardized scalp massage may enhance blood circulation, reduce scalp tension, and contribute to a healthier environment for hair follicles, potentially supporting overall hair growth.
Key insights:
- The in vitro data indicates that scalp massaging can upregulate a number of genes associated with the hair cycle, including NOGGIN, BMP4, SMAD4, and IL6ST, as well as dow regulate hair loss-related genes like IL6.
- The clinical evidence conducted on 9 men showed that 4 minutes of scalp massage per day for 24 weeks could significantly increase hair thickness but did not show any improvement in hair density and only a slight improvement in hair growth rate.
- A survey conducted on 327 people who had tried standardized scalp massaging showed that 68.9% of people reported hair loss stabilization or regrowth.
