AbstractBackground: Hair loss is a natural occurrence throughout the hair growth cycle. Nevertheless, when there is an interruption in the equilibrium between hair development and hair loss, it is denoted as hair fall. Presently, hair loss is a prominent concern. Various reasons, including changes in lifestyle, hormone swings, increased stress levels, insufficient consumption of nutrient-rich foods, drug use, and environmental impacts, might contribute to hair loss. Multiple patterns of hair loss can be noticed, including androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Hypothyroidism, PCOS, contraceptive usage, and dietary insufficiency are medical conditions that cause hair loss in both men and women. This study was a pilot study conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a hair growth serum on the hair growth of individuals.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as a longitudinal, observational investigation to assess the effectiveness of a hair growth serum on the hair growth of individuals. The study consisted of 51 participants, ranging in age from 21 to 45 years. Of these participants, 23 were girls and 28 were males. The participants were recruited as volunteers, selected in a random manner among those who had submitted an application through our volunteer form. All contestants were Mumbai residents, hailing from India.
Results: Overall, the serum appears to be effective in reducing hair fall, promoting hair growth, and increasing hair thickness and density for most participants, with no observed side effects.
Conclusion: The descriptive statistics from this study provide a robust understanding of the serum's impact and user experience. The results indicate high user satisfaction with the serum’s texture, absorption, and lack of side effects.
