Efficacy Testing for Hair Growth 

Achieving thicker, fuller, and healthier hair is a key concern for consumers, yet factors such as aging, stress, and environmental damage can disrupt the natural hair growth cycle, leading to thinning, breakage, and reduced vitality.

Today’s consumers seek solutions  for products that actively support follicular activity at the cellular level by targeting key signaling pathways involved in hair growth and regeneration.

At OxiProteomics, we provide scientifically validated efficacy testing to assess how hair care formulations influence critical biological processes governing hair growth.

EXPLORE OUR INNOVATIVE TESTING

These image provides a visual representation of how UV-A stress negatively impacts hair follicle vitality and growth, specifically by affecting a crucial hair growth factor (IGF-1), shown in green, and how a product can counteract this effect.

  • Left panel: Exposure to UV-A radiation significantly diminishes IGF-1 signal. This reduction in green fluorescence indicates suppressed hair growth and compromised follicle health due to oxidative stress.
  • Right panel : We evidence how a product (even in the presence of UV-A), effectively restores IGF-1 expression. This resuts demonstrates the product’s ability to protect against UV-A induced damage and promote hair growth by maintaining a healthy level of this essential growth factor.

SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN RESULTS

This visual evidence is invaluable for:

  • Product developers: It showcases the product’s efficacy in stimulating hair growth, enhancing follicle vitality, and protecting against environmental stressors that can lead to hair loss and damage.
  • Marketers: It provides compelling scientific visuals to substantiate claims related to hair growth, anti-aging, and overall hair health.

OxiProteomics’ expertise in hair biology and advanced imaging allows for:

  • Quantitative analysis: Accurately measuring IGF-1 levels and providing quantifiable data on product efficacy.
  • Mechanism of action studies: Understanding the biological mechanisms by which the product promotes IGF-1 production and protects hair follicles from damage.

Partnering with OxiProteomics enables companies to develop and market innovative hair care solutions backed by robust scientific evidence, directly addressing consumer needs for hair vitality and growth.

WHO WE ARE

OxiProteomics is a CRO specialized in biomarker assessment providing research services for skin- & hair-care dermo-cosmetics, food supplements, medical devices, and dermatology efficacy evaluation.

Spined-out from Sorbonne University in 2014, our uniqueness is a specific know-how on non-targeted & targeted proteomics approaches adapted to skin and hair evaluation.

We support our clients on molecular target identification, target validation, efficacy testing, mechanistic studies, prediction of responders, and biomarkers discovery. We also propose predictive pre-clinical skin models coupled with spatial proteomics analyses, based on the organ culture of human skin samples. We also able work with clinical samples to perform bio-analysis. We also provide mechanistic investigator-initiator trials with the analysis of biopsies and non-invasive samples.
