The Scalp Edit No. 001 | Dual Protocol
A two-step system—Follicle Culture Microbiome Serum + Senolytic Microneedles—that supports the microbiome and addresses age-related cellular stress to promote a healthier environment for hair growth.
This protocol targets two factors that can influence scalp function over time: microbial imbalance and age-related cellular signals.
The daily Follicle Culture Microbiome Serum combines ferments, niacinamide, caffeine, spermidine, and peptides to help restore balance, support the scalp barrier, and create conditions more conducive to healthy hair.
Once weekly, the Microneedle Regen Shot pairs targeted microneedling with a concentrated serum of fisetin, NAD+–supporting sunflower sprout extract, plant stem cells, zinc PCA, and copper tripeptide-1 to address cellular stress and support scalp renewal.
Together, the complementary treatments take an upstream approach to thinning, helping improve the condition of the scalp before changes become visible through the hair.
Inside the Formula
Follicle Culture Microbiome Serum 001
- S. epidermidis ferment filtrate: A postbiotic ferment that helps support microbial balance and reinforce the scalp barrier
- Niacinamide: A form of vitamin B3 that helps support barrier function, soothe visible irritation, and balance excess oil
- Sunflower sprout extract: A botanical source of NAD+–supporting compounds that helps promote cellular energy and scalp vitality
- Tripeptide-2: A peptide complex that helps support the follicular environment and address visible signs of scalp aging
- Caffeine + coffee seed extract: Antioxidant-rich ingredients that help stimulate and energize the scalp
- Spermidine: A naturally occurring polyamine included to support healthy cellular function and the hair-growth cycle
B) Microneedle Regen Shot 001
- Fisetin: A flavonoid selected for its senolytic properties, helping address age-related cellular stress
- Plant stem cell complex: Apple, grape, and alpine rose cell extracts that provide antioxidant support and help protect against environmental stressors
- Sunflower sprout extract: Helps support NAD+ production, cellular energy, and scalp renewal
- Copper tripeptide-1: A regenerative peptide that helps support healthy scalp function and the follicular environment
- Zinc PCA: Helps balance excess oil and maintain a healthy scalp environment
