Power Hair Activating Formula
New research reveals a “super peptide” against hair loss
Summary
- Power Hair Activating Formula contains Follicopeptide®, a non-hormonal peptide developed in Sweden to topically stimulate hair growth.
- Clinical studies show an approximate 70% response rate with improved hair density after 4–6 months of use.
- Suitable for both men and women seeking a modern, safe, hormone-free alternative to hair loss treatments.
Power Hair Activating Formula is a Swedish-developed, non-hormonal peptide complex applied directly to the scalp to stimulate hair growth. It is based on many years of research conducted at Lund University and has since been further developed within Swedish biotechnology.
What is it?
Power Hair Activating Formula contains Follicopeptide, a synthetically produced peptide (with no animal or human origin) that targets the tissue surrounding the hair follicles rather than the hormonal causes of hair loss. It is applied daily, left on overnight, and works entirely topically—meaning it does not affect hormonal balance or other parts of the body.
How does it work?
The peptide was developed by identifying an active sequence from a naturally occurring growth protein called osteopontin and modifying it to penetrate the skin and reach the hair follicles. It binds to specific receptors (neuropilin-1) in the scalp and activates signaling pathways believed to improve blood supply and the supportive tissue surrounding the hair follicles. This creates a more favorable environment for hair growth and increased density.
What does the research say?
- Several studies have been conducted—five in total, including one larger study involving more than 200 men with androgenetic alopecia.
- This study reported a response rate of approximately 70% after around 4 months, along with an average increase in hair density of about 5–6 hairs per cm².
- Hair shaft thickness also showed improvement in image analysis, although it was not quantitatively measured.
- Treatment was applied daily, and improvements were most evident between months 4 and 6, which aligns with the natural growth cycles of hair follicles.
- Safety studies indicate good tolerability, with no serious adverse effects reported and no hormonal involvement.
Clinical trial
Power Hair Activating Formula – Follicopeptide® has undergone a rigorous clinical testing program that is uncommon within the cosmetics field. The key study was a double-blind, randomized clinical trial conducted at leading dermatology clinics in Europe. In this 16-week clinical study, daily evening use resulted in measurable and statistically significant improvements in perceived hair density in the majority of users when used correctly and consistently.
Who is it for and how is it used?
The product is suitable for individuals seeking a topical alternative to hormonal or systemic hair loss treatments—both men and women. The most important factor is consistent use: apply once daily (approximately 0.5 mL per 10×10 cm of scalp) and leave on overnight. Clearer results should be expected after 4–6 months.
How Power Hair Activating Formula compares to traditional treatments
The following matrix provides an overview of how Power Hair Activating Formula – Follicopeptide® compares to two commonly used hair loss treatments—Finasteride (oral tablet) and Minoxidil (topical solution). The matrix is not fully scientific for all parameters but is based on available studies and indications to provide a quick comparison.
| Parameter | Power Hair Activating Formula | Finasteride | Minoxidil |
| Response rate* | ~ 70% (according to preliminary data) | ~ 40% (typical response) | ~ 40–50% according to various studies |
| Increase in hair density | +5–6 hairs/cm² after approx. 4 months (preliminary) | Slower effect; often after 6–12 months | Often visible after 4–6 months, but less pronounced |
| Hair shaft thickness | Increase observed in image analysis | Moderate increase, depending on individual | Some increase, but generally less distinct |
| Mode of administration | Topical (applied to the scalp) | Oral tablet | Topical solution or foam |
| Hormonal involvement | No hormonal activity | Hormonal (affects DHT) | Generally non-hormonal (but affects blood flow) |
| Safety profile | Vegan, synthetic, topical – limited systemic exposure | May cause sexual side effects and hormonal effects | Local skin irritation common; systemic effects less common |
| Key success factor | Consistent daily use | Regular intake over a long period | Regular application over time |
