Story summary
  • A team of scientists in Taipei developed a daily scalp hair growth serum that increased hair thickness by 25% versus placebo in 56 days in a trial of 60 adults.
  • The serum combines caffeine, panthenol, plant-derived vesicles from Centella asiatica, and growth factors.
  • The short duration raises questions about long-term effectiveness and safety.
  • Minoxidil and finasteride remain the standard treatments, and further research is necessary to validate these findings.
