Skeptics Question New “Miracle” Hair Regrowth Serum
A novel daily scalp hair growth serum, formulated with a tropical plant-based extract, has demonstrated significant results in clinical trials. This serum, containing extracellular vesicles from Centella asiatica along with mild caffeine, panthenol, fibroblast growth factor 7, and insulin-like growth factor 1, showed a nearly 25 percent increase in hair density and improved thickness in just 56 days compared to a placebo. While these initial findings are promising, the study was short and conducted on healthy adults, necessitating larger trials and head-to-head comparisons with established treatments like minoxidil and finasteride before definitive conclusions can be drawn.
