Supporting Hair Regrowth with Safe & Smart Daily Routines
When it comes to treating alopecia, in-clinic medical therapies like mesotherapy and cytokine treatments are essential—but consistent, thoughtful home care can play an important supporting role.
At AesMed, we emphasize a holistic approach to hair care, where home scalp care helps maintain scalp health and optimizes treatment outcome.
The Role of Cosmetics in Scalp Care
Why Scalp Skin Responds Better Than Facial Skin
Unlike facial skin, the scalp has larger pores, softer texture, and is more receptive to absorption. Cosmetic products—such as tonics, essences, and shampoos—can reach their target more effectively on the scalp than on the face. However, cosmetics only act on the outermost skin layers, while hair loss mechanisms occur deeper in the mid to deep dermis.
So, while scalp cosmetics alone cannot prevent alopecia, they are valuable supporting tools in conjunction with professional treatment.
✅ Important Note: Hair loss cosmetic products must be biocompatible, eco-friendly, and free from harmful ingredients like:
• Sulfates (SLS, SLES, ALS, ALES)
• Parabens
• Silicones
• Benzophenones
• Synthetic fragrances & artificial colors
These ingredients can interfere with medical treatments and irritate sensitive scalps.
The Power of Plant-Based Ingredients
Since the early 2000s, research has shown that plant-based polyphenols—especially procyanidins, found in apple bark, grape seed, and other natural sources—can inhibit hair-loss related cytokines like TGF-β1 and TGF-β2, which are key contributors to follicle degradation.
Other ingredients, such as spirulina and lonicera flower extract, regulate MMP9 and MIF, both of which break down key components of the dermal papilla like collagen IV and laminin 5. Supporting the dermal papilla means supporting the foundation of healthy hair growth.
AesMed’s TricoClin™ Shampoo & Tonic
AesMed’s own TricoClin™ line is specifically formulated for alopecia patients. It contains a rich blend of:
• Polyphenol-rich plant extracts (apple bark, grape seed, arctium lappa root, ecklonia cava)
• MMP9/MIF-regulating ingredients (spirulina, lonicera flower extract)
These products are free from harsh chemicals, making them ideal for daily scalp care during and after alopecia treatments such as AGF39™ cytokines mesotherapy.
Food & Lifestyle Habits for Healthy Hair
Nutrition for Hair Growth
Just as food fuels the body, it also fuels the hair. Hair follicles require:
• High-quality proteins
• Vitamin B complex
• Zinc, iron, and other trace minerals
Recommended foods include eggs, nuts, leafy greens, and seaweed—natural choices that promote cellular energy around the follicle and encourage hair regrowth
Stress & Sleep: The Underrated Medicine
Stress is a major contributor to hair loss, alongside genetics, aging, and hormones.
While stress is hard to eliminate, it’s manageable through exercise, healthy food, conversations, hobbies, and—most importantly—sleep.
Sleep from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. is when cell regeneration peaks.
Quality sleep comes at no cost and is one of the most powerful yet overlooked therapies in home care for alopecia.
Lastly, don’t hesitate to seek professional consultation. Just visiting your doctor and understanding your condition can often be the first turning point toward recovery.
Conclusion
Home scalp care is not a replacement for professional alopecia treatment, but it’s a vital ally in maintaining results and promoting long-term scalp health.
By choosing the right cosmetic products, eating nourishing foods, and embracing healthy habits like sleep and stress management, patients can significantly enhance the effects of clinical therapies such as AesMed’s AGF39™.
