QR678: Softening the scalp using massage and Dermarolling reactivates hair follicles

Scientists have discovered that hair loss is often caused by hair stem cells getting “trapped” in a stiff, damaged scalp environment. By using a combination of mechanical stimulation—such as microneedling and vibration—researchers were able to soften the scalp and reactivate these dormant cells. Clinical results show a 20% to 30% improvement in hair density within 12 weeks, with this approach performing three times better than traditional treatments.

What it is and how it works

This treatment, known as the QR678 platform, moves away from drugs and focuses on “mechanobiology”. The scalp tissue often becomes rigid due to aging, which prevents stem cells from receiving growth signals. By physically stretching and vibrating the scalp, the treatment reshapes the tissue and “switches on” growth pathways like Wnt and YAP/TAZ.

Availability and Benefit

The QR678 platform is available at specialized clinics as a drug-free therapy. People can benefit now by using at-home scalp massagers or microneedling (derma-rollers), which have been shown to support these same biological growth pathways.
