Description
xOverview
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 (Ac-Lys-Gly-His-Lys-NH2, also known as KGHK and Folixyl®) is a biomimetic peptide derived from a growth factor, it works by stimulating the synthesis of key extracellular matrix proteins within the hair follicle. Therefore, it helps to combat hair loss and promote hair growth.
Mechanism of Action
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 stimulates the production of:
- Collagen I and III: Essential structural proteins providing support and strength to the hair follicle.
- Laminin: A glycoprotein crucial for cell adhesion and tissue organization within the hair follicle.
By enhancing the synthesis of these proteins, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 supports the renewal of dermal papilla cells and counteracts the stiffening of the hair follicle sheath, a major contributor to hair loss.
Function & Use
Studies on human hair follicles have demonstrated Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3's effectiveness in stimulating hair growth. In comparison to Minoxidil®, a common hair loss treatment, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 (as Folixyl®) showed superior results in terms of hair growth percentage after just 7 days of treatment.
