NONAPEPTIDE-43

Description

Nonapeptide-43 is an innovative synthetic peptide specifically designed for haircare applications. This cutting-edge ingredient consists of a sequence of nine amino acids that work synergistically to target hair follicles and promote hair growth. Nonapeptide-43 functions by mimicking natural hair growth signals, stimulating dormant follicles, and extending the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that Nonapeptide-43 can increase hair density and thickness when applied topically. It works by upregulating specific genes associated with hair growth and keratin production. This peptide also exhibits potent antioxidant properties, protecting hair follicles from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

Nonapeptide-43 is particularly effective in addressing androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium. It can be incorporated into various haircare formulations, including serums, leave-in treatments, and scalp tonics. The ingredient is well-tolerated and suitable for all hair types and textures. For optimal results, consistent application over several months is recommended, as the hair growth cycle typically spans 3-4 months.
