METHIONYL RH-POLYPEPTIDE-83

Description

Methionyl rh-Polypeptide-83 is an innovative biomimetic peptide engineered to target hair follicle stem cells and promote hair growth. This synthetic polypeptide is designed to mimic the structure and function of natural growth factors involved in hair regeneration. By stimulating follicle stem cells, it encourages the transition from the telogen (resting) phase to the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.

The peptide works by activating specific signaling pathways within hair follicle cells, promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. This process helps to extend the anagen phase, resulting in thicker, stronger hair strands and increased hair density. Methionyl rh-Polypeptide-83 also supports the production of essential proteins and nutrients necessary for healthy hair growth.

Clinical studies have shown that topical application of formulations containing this peptide can lead to visible improvements in hair thickness and volume within 8-12 weeks of consistent use. It is particularly effective for addressing age-related hair thinning and loss. The ingredient is well-tolerated by most skin types and can be incorporated into various haircare products, including serums, leave-in treatments, and scalp lotions.
